YES!!! I don't need Lumi back together ASAP, but Lucas has a place in Salem.

Definitely good to see him back just as Will's story kicks into high gear by that time.

Knew who it was before opening the thread.

I wonder if they will phase Rafe out - between Austin, EJ, and Lucas, that's a lot of men for Sami to have baggage with already.

I wouldn't mind, Rafe sucks.

Very excited! He's much needed for Will's storyline and while I grew up on Days, the Lucas/Sami period was the first I was really an adult during (watching the show in college) and fell for them as a couple. I was disappointed when they were ruined under Sheffer, looking forward to what this brings.

Oh god NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...I hate BD and Lucas..UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

+10000

So glad Lucas is coming back. He was missed and very much needed. No need for rafe now

I welcome this news. I think Bryan Dattilo has excellent chemistry with Alison Sweeney, fits the Will Gone Wild storyline perfectly and Kate's favourite son is always welcome.

Agreed. I'm also interested to see how this regime plays the tension between Lucas and Carrie/Austin, since last go-round was their botched marriage. I know that Sami becoming everyone's BFF began before MarDar came aboard, but I did like some of the tension (that still exists too) between Sami/Carrie, who we saw had "made up" when Carrie was in town before, but I feel like that's only until Sami feels like Carrie is on her turf again.

I'd much rather see a new actor portray Lucas. But at least Lucas is back.

Yay Kate's favorite is back!!

Agreed. If Lucas was recast I could tolerate him. Just cannot stand BD, never could.

YAS!!!!!

Lucas & Sami

I wonder if they'll put Lucas in the Brady/Madison story. Kate will blow a gasket if Lucas had a crush on Madison.

YAS!!!!!

Lucas & Sami

This!
