Bryan Dattilo has been let go from Days.

Wow how disppointing. I really enjoyed Sami and Lucas and their history. But I wish him luck. I can't say I am angry at Days for this. In these days a bad economy and everyone cutting back, it's no real surprise I guess. Best of luck to him.

Oh, wow. I was sure Sami would get back with Lucas in the end, even though I don't watch anymore. I guess not.

That's how I have always felt about them but I don't think Soaps build couples like that anymore.

I liked BD but Days wasn't using him. It's sad but the nature of the business. I hope he can find work somewhere else. Good luck to him!

That being said I could see him popping up once in awhile for special appearances like the holidays.

Does that mean she's going to be with Rafe or EJ?

They could have easily kept her together with Lucas assuming the show's ending within a few years.

Can't say I care, but good luck to Bryan, I guess...

Wow I too thought maybe Sami and Lucas might reunite in the end but the relationship is so far gone and has been ruined in the last couple of years as well(Thanks Hogan...) Lucas doesn't have much of a place or role on the show anymore either. Oh well.

Not too sad about this. Dena has never been able to write for Lucas. Since she took over, Lucas has done nothing but yell, bully and generally act like a douchebag. There's been no shred of maturity to the character; he's been dumb as a box of rocks. They missed a HUGE opportunity to reveal that Lucas was covering for Will shooting EJ. Instead, he's been in a dull-as-dishwater triangle with Chloe and Daniel. Boring!

Good luck, BD.

I don't understand why these two are still on this show too...

Aw, I've always liked Bryan/Lucas even though Lucas was always the underdog, the character who always got beaten up the most. But I guess once Chloe was out of Lucas' life and put him in rehab, the writers didn't know what to do with him. I still think he could've been a part of Will, Maggie, Kate, Philip's life - so put him on recurring instead, just in case you want to use him.

I'll miss Lucas, but I'm not surprised. They brought in Rafe and there wasn't any room for Lucas. I think that Lucas could be a confidant for Will going forward, but they don't appear to want to use him. I wish Bryan luck. Hope he has lots of money saved and finds more work.

I'll never understand getting rid of a veteran actor/character and keeping ones like EJ, Rafe and others.

It does seem unfair, although Lucas has had years and years and years of bad writing, and there really isn't anywhere to take his relationship with Sami.

I always liked Lucas best as the young schemer. It helped that Bryan Datillo was so gorgeous back then, and was such a great counterpoint to Ausduh. I wish they'd never made him into the yelly moral authority or the alcoholic punching bag.

Bryan still looks good now and he's a fine actor when he gets the material. I can't say, "So and so soap should hire him," because most of the soaps already have a lot of young men they don't bother to write for, or they are poor at bringing in new characters, but I can see him on GH, or on B&B.

I was hoping BT was getting a big story in 2010 having to do with the recast Will :, I guess not. I wonder how they will be writing Lucas off? I hope he doesn't die, especially if they are killing off Mickey Horton. TWO Hortons, and TWO deaths for Maggie to deal with? That doesn't sound right to me Just what have these writers done with Lucas?
