If I woke from a coma and Channing Tatum told me he was my husband... I'd Believe Him!

So glad Lucas is back. So glad they made him supportive of Will. I knew Lucas would be..so glad they got his character right. Also agree with BD that I don't know how the show did any of those character interactions without Lucas. And this fiancee....will we ever see her?

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

Wow - great interview! I loved pretty much everything he had to say. It sounds like Bryan is very focused on not allowing Lucas to fall back in to the whiney, combative character he was the last couple of years and good for him. Lucas can and should be so much more than that - regardless of who he is paired with. I like the sound of having him mix it up with characters all over the canvas - and am really looking forward to the Lucas/EJ scenes.

And :lol: at his last line!

TFP. I can't believe Will is still keeping quiet. The characters need to have an intervention for him. They should bring back Lindsay Hartley as a new character and cast her as the fiancee.

Probably they are reserving that for May sweeps.

I'm confused. Bryan says Lucas reacted well to Will being gay ("he was supportive and loving") but then he says Will is still in the closet denying his sexuality, so which is it? Is Will "out" to his dad in the scenes they're taping now or not?

Bryan also mentioned that Sami still doesn't know Will is gay... and they're taping into May now, correct? I hope she reacts badly when she finds out because otherwise, where's the conflict? I want to see Sami and Lucas going head to head over their son's sexuality with Lucas being accepting of it and Sami thinking it's "just a phase." I don't want Will to come out and immediately be accepted by everyone. That would be boring.

Also, since when does Lucas have a fiancee in Hong Kong? Has that ever been mentioned before? Whoever she is, I'm assuming she'll make her way to Salem at some point and lock horns with Sami, so I'm looking forward to that.

I am glad to see Lucas back. I am excited to see him interacting with his family and sticking up for his son. The only thing that i didn't like was his mention of him and EJ locking horns over Sami. While i enjoy their little battles, i feel that Sami is no longer worthy of either man fighting over her as they have both moved on, and she already has her plate full with Rafe. Don't waste 3 men on her, she is overexposed and overrated. If anything let EJ be involved with Nicole for now, Sami deal with her Cafe drama, and let Lucas handle his family and work business. Eventually Lumi should come together as friends to support Will, but not before he calls her out for all her BS the past few years. Then maybe it will lead to a reconcilliation, if this fisncee thing doesnt work out. Everything and everyone does not need to revolve around Sami :flipoff:

Well it's already been spoiled that Sami's going to react badly, right? Or it might have been AS's take on what she thought would happen, but I know she talked about this.

Edit: No, it was just AS predicting that Sami would take it badly.

It sounds confusing, in two questions he clearly answers that Lucas is supporting of Will being gay. Maybe Will is out by then only to his dad but is still keeping his sexuality a secret from everyone else.

Great interview!

It sounds like Will comes out to Lucas, but is hiding it from Sami. I like that Lucas is supportive; I am looking forward to those scenes!

First I always love Fairman's interviews. He asks the kind of questions the fans want to hear the answers to.

It sounds like Bryan is so glad to back at Days. It was nice to see him acknowledge his loyal fans. I wish more soap stars would realize fans actually play a large part in an actor's fate.

Lucas is going to fill in a lot of places on the show which have had people saying he should. The stories should have a more well-rounded feel now. I really hope the stories are a bit more interesting. Right now I'm pretty bored and feel the whole show is a glacier inching it's way to the sea.

I wonder if Lucas just knows. That would be very true to life - like with Marlena and Sonny. When I came out to mother, she had always known. Sami is so self-involved that it would make sense for Lucas to know his son well enough to see it without needing to be told. I like the idea of the HK fiancee!

Great interview by MF, as always. I'm glad that BD/Lucas is back and am interested his scenes with Will, Sami and especially EJ! I miss the back and forth between the two. I'm also glad that Lucas comes back and has a fiance because it shows that for the time being, he's primarily focused on dealing with family issues. Will that status change, who knows this is a soap, though I hope the only changes occur are that he brings her to Salem, they get married here, and they set off a separate s/l for Lucas outside of Sami.

Ok, so he doesn't actually come out to Lucas. From the Soaps.com interview:

Quote:
 
Soaps.com: Will Lucas have any idea Will is gay, or that he is being blackmailed into working for EJ?

Bryan: Well, he doesn't like that he is working for EJ right off the bat. He is not aware of his son's preference yet. But certain things transpire that alert him, he becomes enlightened by his recent choices. And I really got to thank the writers for handling it really well because he is there for his son no matter what, and that would be the way I want to play it. I don't want Lucas to be a bigot or prejudiced in any way. We have filmed enough scenes that we have tap danced around the issue. Chandler is such a great actor, there are so many levels to play with him. He is a great listener and always knows his lines, comes in ready to go, so that has been really fun.

Can't wait to see Lucas back. It's been a nice and needed break for the character. I want to see him again.

I'm not surprised by Lucas being supportive of Will's sexuality. Lucas and Will's relationship was always stronger than Sami and Will's. As for Dattilo saying Lucas understands and is supportive, even though Will hasn't come out yet, I think it will be a case of the same thing with Marlena and Sonny. They just know and they're showing how supportive they are for when Will does come out.

Love that Lucas has a fiancee in Hong Kong. I hope she makes it to Salem one day.

I'm pretty sure that he's seeing how Lucas is reacting to the 'thought' of Will being gay. I got the impression that Lucas knows that he's gay but Will hasn't come out with the truth yet and from what I'm reading it appears that Bryan already realizes that of the two Lucas might be the more supportive parent and Sami might be the one that has a problem with it, and that actually goes with what Ali Sweeney said in a recent article too.

I LOVE the fact that he has a fiancee in HK and I'm sure she'll be coming along sometime this late spring or summer and she will butt heads with Sami. I love the talk about Lumi, OBVIOUSLY, but I've never been opposed to a good love story for Lucas that featured someone that loves him, but that connection with Sami shouldn't be broken EVER and I'm hoping that is what happens.

Isn't it great that he comes in on leap day? It also happens to be the last day of sweeps....me likey.
