Maybe BD didn't want the last day cake and all of that and didn't want to make everyone sad in his last day at work so he didn't tell them?

I hope that's what happened and not just TPTB fired him in the shittiest way possible.
I hope that is the case. I mean, Bryan is an attention whore at times LOL but he may have felt like this was for the best to go out quietly. Somehow I get the feeling it was the way the show chose to handle it and not him though.

I didnt know it was his last day. I'm Seriously devastated. RT @SoapDigest: Bryan Dattilo off DAYS
I was waiting for her reaction.

I guess it's looking good that he will get a shitty Steve/Kayla kind of exit. How sad.

I hate that no one seemed to know it was his last day either. They couldn't even say goodbye. Ali sort of made it sound like she knew he would be leaving, just that she didn't know it was his last day.
Yeah, looks like he isn't getting any kind of exit story. Not suprising.

Now that bd unfortunately leaves the series I really miss him and I know not much left that the majority Lumis became safe. and the fact you were so busy thinking that Ejami not be kept together and you're not on the Lumi You have given to safe to take their place. I do not remember seeing Lumi fans complain or demand that the Lumi back. gt is successful because his goal was to promote his player and all the Lumi turn to safe. my question if he could some of you the only Lumi will remain root for safe?

people let me tell you something.
i used to be a HUGE lumi fan..
it upsets me veryy much that they are letting BD go before GG
i love bryan and he will be greatly missed.
i think the show.. no scratch that i know the show will lose alot of people because of BD leaving!
we ejami fans are not attacking you.
we've suffered through to many wars to attack now.
i'm sorry lumis.
BD we will miss you!!

I think it was evident that this was bound to happen. They never truly took the time to develop his character pass the Sami/Kate storylines. When the oppurtunity did arise to give him a different storyline they did not utilize it properly.

Now we are stuck with boring ass Rafe who is just a big dud.

I hope BD can find something better.

It's too bad, but honestly, I think we all saw it coming. I like Bryan enough, but I've always found Lucus really boring outside of Sami, and they stunted his character development with his relationship with Kate.

Again, too bad...I don't think pairing Sami with Rafe was really worth Lucus being written out.

I'm sorry for his fans but I'm personally glad he's gone. I've watched DAYS since 1997 and Lucas has always been my least favorite character. IMO he's a mediocre actor who always seems angry or depressed. Of course it could be chalked up to the writing for his character, but if that's the case, no writer has ever written well for him LOL

I just wish Chloe and Daniel were leaving with him.
Danloe are terrible, I thought for sure they were going to be written out at the end of that Kate s/l.

To be bluntly honest, I don't see Chloe lasting much longer. Daniel's about to enter into Carly's big story - I suspect, at least - and that'll bring the end of Danloe. Chloe's a useless character, anyway..the only way they would keep her around is by maybe putting her back in Phillip's orbit, which I don't see.

Though, it might be deliciously soapy to have a Philip/Chloe/Melanie love triangle...especially if Daniel turns out to be Melanie's father, lol!

OMG....some of you have just the funniest lines! Airwick!!!LOL

My whole problem with AS is ACTING! This is a soap, but its also an acting medium. In this town (yes, LA LA Land) an actor would kill for any soap job. When I read that she "twitters" her lines and IMO sucks ASS and hasnt grown as an actor, then I find it very disappointing as a viewer who loves good acting in any medium!

As for her as a role model....she can be a role model of being a good businesswoman. She knows how to "market" herself...ALA Kelly Ripka. If people see her as this regular working mom, that pushes the stroller, well, I saw her stroller, and it was pushed by HER NANNY!

As for BD, I never was a fan of the character, but he was a funny guy. I just cant believe that we'll probably get one of those "off to rehab in Switzerland" scene again, when they could have written a decent SL. I do hope he finds work and wish him good luck!
Re: AS stroller - for real? She's become that kind of celebrity? lol!

Well, with that said, she works long hours with both jobs and her husband works too. They would have to have a nanny realistically. But still, that is amusing.

Dude...really? I don't think Ben Silverman, the President of NBC Entertainment, even knows who Bryan Datillo is. He has more important things to do than worry about some soap actor leaving a show, like, I don't know, maybe making sure his network doesn't drown??? What is with this whole culture where the soap fans have to bother all of these people? LOL.

And is that seriously Ken Corday's direct line........?!

Contacting soap media and show related lines is OK, but I think some of this might be a little far. Believe me, these people don't care!

i wish this show had really given bryan something good to work with instead of always being a prop for whatever woman he was involved with.

the only plus i can see from his non-exit(which seems confirmed based on ali's tweet) is that the show could eventually bring him back without having to pull another 'back from the dead' story.

Well, I think that it is very sad AS didn't know it was BD's last day. They are very close friends and I know she is hurting right now for him.

I think it would be funny if BD landed a role on GH as one of Sonny's relatives.
Remember how he got on the stage when they won that Emmy?

I hope he lands something so good that it makes up for all the time he spent sitting around waiting for a storyline.

I'm going to miss BD but its been so long since Lucas had a decent storyline that I almost feel like I'm already done missing the character.

I was so sad and upset yesterday that Ali hadn't made any comment, and today I am even more sad and upset to learn that she didn't even know! This show is seriously fucked. I really hope Bryan goes on to greater success elsewhere, he deserves it.

Thats ok no dattilo, no days for me and no more soap boards but 2c and Luminous. They treated Bryan Dattilo like shit and he deserves so much better. I agree aimee, the show is seriously fucked! See you around 2c!

Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.

I agree that it's not cool that Ali (and presumably no one else) knew it was his last day. What a shame. :(

No surprise here. I think they figured out that Sami and Lucas had been written into a corner during Reilly's last stand and then the beginning of Higley.

I wish BD all the best, despite all the crap from the studio, he's always been good to the fans.

Its my understanding that Ali went to bat alot for Lumi but even she knew that the storyline had been ruined. I imagine she is supporting Bryan on a personal level and I respect her for not making a public announcement.

I loved it when Lucas and Sami slowly fell in love. Those were some of the best days of our lives. :wink: I am sorry to see him go after all of this time but he hasn't had much of a story for a long time. They should have just left him in rehab. The horton family is pretty much decimated and non-existant now. What a shame.

I got those addresses from the Second Chances: the LUMI Mega-Site web site and pasted them here. As to the validity of the phone # can't really say. Still feel contacting TPTB is important for those Bryan fans even if it is just a post card saying we want Bryan/Lucas. Who knows it might help. Can't see letting him go without at least trying. He is almost the last Horton. They becoming scarce as hens teeth
