I will admit it is a pretty pointed omission - but it doesn't surprise me, since Lumi have not been written to last. I have posted elsewhere that it makes sense for Sami's feelings/reciprocation to be left just vague enough. Regardless of how many times she kisses Lucas (and initiated those kisses) or how many times she expresses surprise (and imo happy surprise) that they are back at this place even after all that's passed between them, even if she talks about having another chance with him....it could always come back down to her not saying "I love you too" back to him. So, again - this choice makes sense given the way I feel the story is headed - for Lucas to seem like the person more in love, or perhaps more accurately, the person more ready to commit (this make a "go of it" nonsense) only to highlight Sami's ambivalence. That has been the whole point of Lucas this go-around (that and to make me believe he really does have these feelings) - as a contrast or backdrop for Ejami. That's how I see it at least (unsurprisingly, I guess). Lumi got together in five seconds (although I think the reunion was four years in the making, but moving on), Ejami is playing a push/pull dance; Lumi are together, yet Sami seems to spend more time with EJ; the Lumi kiss happens while the Ejami one is left in abeyance, oh-so-sexily unrealized and suppressed, etc. etc. Sami's lack of saying an outright I love you to Lucas is all part of that. Do I think it's contrived? Well yes, but I won't bandy about that word too much and let my fangirl prejudices take over too much. Suffice it to say this is the story the writers are interested in telling right now, so this is how it's happening. Which is of course why I am a bit outraged and a lot disappointed that Lumi got dragged into this mess, again. And then if and when the writers are interested in telling a different story, we can see what happens then.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I'm not saying she said it recently but she's told him she loved him on I believe two occasions since he's been back....you know it's really neither here or there though....Lucas has been depicted as the great love of Sami's life, she's told him and everyone that would listen that she loves Lucas many, many, many times over the years. She's said he's the love of her life and her soul mate (her words not mine)....so I should believe that because she doesn't tell him, "Lucas, I'm still in love with you too" that should mean she's not? As I said before, this is nothing, NOTHING new to them, they don't declare their love for one another like that, one of them always opens their heart first (usually Lucas) and Sami holds back for a few. The question was asked has she said I love you since he came back, the answer is yes. Has she done her declaration of love recently in a way I would like as a devoted fan of the couple? Absolutely not, but then again MarDar was clear that they weren't writing for THEM, but I wouldn't be surprised if by next week she's declaring her love for him....lol....
and for the last two years before the divorce, Rafe was the ONLY man who has ever been in her heart and the one she was waiting for........so much for Lucas being the great love of her life. When it comes to Sami, as the wind blows, so unless it is in the hear and now, it prob is not worth much and as of right now, she has NOT said 'I love you' to him since they have been a couple. GLARING OMMISSION IMO!
considering all the love she had for Rafe and what she did to him and with whom, maybe I don't want her to profess her love to Lucas, yet, lol. Seriously - let's have her figure this stuff out first. Then she can make her declarations to Lucas, and then we can see them stick ;) just a dream scenario/hope of mine. :P

Last week Lucas told and showed Sami he loved her in an entire episode. Sami never said it back once, it was a glaring admission since Lucas said it more than once in the scene.
She hasn't said it and meant it, they're showing that by her not easily saying it back in that episode.

And then when the writers are interested in telling a different story, we can see what happens then. I think that is exactly where it's headed. He's the one that is being depicted as more in love this time around, it also makes sense because he was the one who let her go and if it wouldn't have been for that, they would still be together. He has that as a regret and he's trying to make up for it apparently. Problem is, it's pretty clear that they aren't writing this story for Lumi in the here and now....could it turn back to them, sure...anything is possible, especially if Lucas' heart gets broken and Sami blindly follows Ej's lead only to again, as is customary every other year or so he manipulates her and the shit hits the fan and then she's left with all the regrets of what 'could have been'.

Sami has said it several times since Lucas has been back. To me those scenes Were another example of the quick switch these writers do when they change storyline direction. They make as much sense as Sami the sudden friend of Ej or Will, EJ's sudden cheerleader.
But since it's all a prop for Ej and his worse coupling we are supposed to ignore the untrue feel of it all.

It's not the first time that Lucas has poured his heart out to Sami and she's said nothing back.... In a lot a ways I find Lucas and Sami's relationship like Dawson's Creek Joey and Pacey (Austin/Sami/Lucas equals Dawson/Joey/Pacey).
They are always purposely wrecking their relationship with their own insecurities. They work but they can't embrace it.
Lucas, Sami and Will could have a great storyline together involving them and their issues.
But I knew these writers didn't know how to write Lucas and Sami when I realized we haven't seen one real argument between them. They are known for their fights. Will used to wait for the blowup. Now not one real back and forth argument? No door slamming or go to hell! Even when they were getting married they did that stuff
Yes. They've neutered Lumi. But that is the only way you can get EJami.

dude...I loved Lucas because he was the way he was.....I can agree that maybe the years in HK have made him see life in a different perspective but the minute he comes to Sami he should have been the way he was with her. Lumi's insecurities have always been at the heart of their problems and I guess that seems to be the only consistent thing about them we still see. I think we are about to get a major fight...too bad it seems to be centered around why Sami would side with EJ, instead of something internal to them.

EJami could have happened with or without Lumi - it's just a shame for BD they bothered to write him into another corner.

I don't get the point of the Lumi reunion if they were going to turn around and write for Ejami four months later. It's not like Ejami needed another obstacle to keep them from getting together - their history alone provides a dozen obstacles. It would have made a lot more sense to bring Lucas back as a good friend for Sami. He could've basically played the same role he's playing now, but without the kissing. That way, if they wanted to go with Lumi down the road a little bit, they could've told a nice story with build-up along the way. Sorry to be gross, but they basically shot their Lumi reunion wad for nothing.

Yes, but writing him into a corner, don't think so...what exactly has Lucas done, will do, is spoiled to do that he can't possibly get himself out of with some good explaining. In the end he is protecting his family, especially his son from the likes of a man that has not only tried to destroy him, but has also tried to kill members of his family.....it's really simple...in the end that can't be perceived as something a character that cares wouldn't do.

No need to insert Lumi, Lucas if they were going to go there really.

You're right - writing him into a corner is probably the wrong turn of phrase. However, it appears they are only interested in writing one storyline for him - and that is as an appendage to Sami. Even his interactions with Will have mostly been to smooth things over between Will and Sami. It's a shame they've not given him story completely independent of Sami and unless the new writers suddenly show an interest in doing so it would appear thus far there is nothing much more out there for him.

Just my 2 cents...If they are going to go the Sami siding with EJ and Lucas getting pissed route, I'd like to see Lucas start scheming with Kate to exact revenge on the bitch. lol I was really hoping for some Kate & Lucas scenes when I heard he was returning.

EJami could have happened with or without Lumi - it's just a shame for BD they bothered to write him into another corner.
I don't get the point of the Lumi reunion if they were going to turn around and write for Ejami four months later. It's not like Ejami needed another obstacle to keep them from getting together - their history alone provides a dozen obstacles. It would have made a lot more sense to bring Lucas back as a good friend for Sami. He could've basically played the same role he's playing now, but without the kissing. That way, if they wanted to go with Lumi down the road a little bit, they could've told a nice story with build-up along the way. Sorry to be gross, but they basically shot their Lumi reunion wad for nothing. But that is what I have been saying too - not sure why Lumi or Lucas/BD needed to be dragged through this mess, unless it was just in service to Ejami, in terms of showing a contrast, Lumi is doing this rushed whereas Ejami is shown pushing and pulling, looks instead of things being said, etc. They could have just shown awkwardness or whatever between EJ and Sami (spare me), without involving Lucas in that nonsense.
Which is why this feels especially like a slap in the face. But I do have to say, that Lucas IS back, the playing down of Lumi does seem quite intentional, but I won't harp on about that.
Whatever, I have already said all I think I can about what I think the "point" of Lumi was this time around, and how disappointing it's been.
And I disagree that the Lumi reunion wad has been blown - I don't think I will ever think that. This is just one more obstacle, nothing I haven't seen before, nothing that can't be come back from (that sounded like terrible grammar). Just a shame I have to see a wash, rinse and repeat of this s/line, and Bry put in a story like this. Grrrr. :bleep:

Just my 2 cents...If they are going to go the Sami siding with EJ and Lucas getting pissed route, I'd like to see Lucas start scheming with Kate to exact revenge on the bitch. lol I was really hoping for some Kate & Lucas scenes when I heard he was returning. I would like him to scheme alone though....I've always wanted Lucas to go back into his darker ways and by darker I don't mean 'drinking' again. I need him to embrace who he was before.....do something against Ej that makes him regret he ever crossed Lucas, and blackmailed his son. Kate can be in it too, but she's usually too ruthless, although some of my most memorable Lucas scenes were when he was trying to get Kate to change her mind about wanting to hurt Sami....

That is why I still don't believe this will be an Ejami story in the end. No need to insert Lumi, Lucas if they were going to go there really. It wouldn't surprise me at all for them to torpedo Ejami in a couple months, but I still think they fucked up with Lumi regardless. They could've had them come back together as BFFs. They could've created a nice long arc for them, ramping up the sexual tension once the Ejami story is over. They could've had the audience clamoring for them to FINALLY reunite. But they already blew it. Even if they kill Ejami and go with Lumi in a few months, they've already wrecked the set-up by rushing them back together and creating zero anticipation for the audience.

I don't see him as writing him into a corner. Not writing a good storyline? Yes, but writing him into a corner, don't think so...what exactly has Lucas done, will do, is spoiled to do that he can't possibly get himself out of with some good explaining. In the end he is protecting his family, especially his son from the likes of a man that has not only tried to destroy him, but has also tried to kill members of his family.....it's really simple...in the end that can't be perceived as something a character that cares wouldn't do.
You're right - writing him into a corner is probably the wrong turn of phrase. However, it appears they are only interested in writing one storyline for him - and that is as an appendage to Sami. Even his interactions with Will have mostly been to smooth things over between Will and Sami. It's a shame they've not given him story completely independent of Sami and unless the new writers suddenly show an interest in doing so it would appear thus far there is nothing much more out there for him. Lucas doesn't need to be completely independent of Sami. That's like making jack free of Jennifer. Or Bo completely free of hope. No. That's wrong.
The problem isn't he's connected to Sami. The problem is the writers have only given one character several storylines. You don't have destroy a foundation cultivated over two decades to give Lucas separate stories. The writers need to get their heads out of JS's ass and write stories for everyone.

I've long thought that this show will never write a Lucas story independent of Sami. Don't know why....maybe it's because they have been around one another since they got to town in 1993, but still, it's absurd. They were about to embark on a storyline with Carrie falling madly in love with Rafe but somehow they can't have that for Lucas. WHY?
