It’s pretty sad how loyal he is to Days and they refuse or are too lazy to write for him. He can do so many things. He can playing the caring good guy or the bad boy schemer, but every time he’s made to be the “good guy” who’s really a condescending jerk that props “the bad guy” who everyone thinks is so cool and hunky but in reality is the actual jerk. If he’s not playing that role, then he is the slob and the ultimate drunk.
Compared to a lot of other Days actors, he is one that could hold his own in any pairing. When Lucas and Nicole were together, they were portrayed as all wrong for each other, but I still found them more entertaining and interesting than most “meant to be” couples of today and the past couple of years.
I read somewhere that his favorite moment or what he was most excited for was saving Sami from death row because that was his first big serious moment, but more recently he stated he enjoyed the more fun and light hearted material, which makes a lot of sense because they don’t give him good material. It’s just depressing, and they never tell Lucas’s story. He’s always apart of someone else’s storyline or made the third wheel.
I agree with what most have said, Lucas should be with Allie and should’ve been with him for a long time. They write that Sami doesn't want the twins to be apart or Allie doesn’t want to be apart from Johnny, but Sami was apart from Eric for almost half of a decade, and when he came back he was her opposite not her partner in crime, so I don’t get that excuse.
When Alison Sweeney (Sami) left the show, Allie should’ve been left behind for Lucas to have some chance at a family with her and Sheryl or some other love interest, especially after the show insisted on showing us for years that Lucas’s kids had a deeper bond with EJ, which was creepy and made no sense. I would’ve preferred that than him sulking around Salem and being a mini Kate. That just doesn’t suit him well.
I always knew that Sami having more than 2 kids was huge mistake, because eventually some writer would come along and not want to deal with 4 kids for her, so we would just have to act like most of them didn’t exist or that it wasn’t weird to only see one at a time, but keep piling on the pregnancy storylines for shock value lol. I could rant about this all this day, but oh well. I hope his three episodes are memorable with at least a little bit of humor
