Lucas rarely interacted with anyone much. The character was a nothing sort of cipher they didn't have much use for in the Guza era, gay or straight. He, his immediate family, etc. were not a priority. They also wasted a number of talented young actors, including CJ Thomason who was wonderful on the CBS maxiseries Harper's Island and Evan Bonifant, who once was "Little Al" Holden on OLTL. But he was not a character. He was a spare part. Ben Hogestyn had a few lovely scenes, though, before Lucas exited - his coming out to Tony and his goodbye with his father. But that was the most they ever bothered with the character. (There was also a grotesque scene a few months before, where he found Luke drunk in the park and Luke tried to coax the closeted Lucas into being a manly Spencer man hitting it with dockside hookers.)

Ryan Carnes is surprisingly good so far - much better than I ever remember him being on GH in the past or any other TV show or movie, where I always found him awful. And he looks a lot more handsome and human, not too plucked.

I agree Spencer is being raised the antithesis of Nik if I recall correct me if I'm wrong my details are fuzzy. I thought Nik was raised a loner, more or less he didn't have play dates, cousins, Aunts, coming in and out of castle dark ' not sure how he was at Spencer' age but judging by dialog (I recall) he was raised y servants, Alfred was is BFF sort to speak. Under Nik's watch Wyndemere is entirely different environment of activity.

I thought Nik grew up sheltered, isolated, Stefan grooming him to be a Prince, I don't recall Nik having the same entitled attitude as Spencer, this is my stable, my horses my my my this and that...also Nik has been pretty successful keeping Helena' influence away from Spencer. He was a sweet kid quiet (like Morgan) this is Ron' vision of Spencer Cassadine

and its not a good look.

As for Lucas I remember they said he went to Seattle and he was a doctor so? Not sure if Ron is reconing his backstory didnt' see today eppy yet

Granted, we didn't see Nik as a child as young as Spencer, but I think it's pretty safe to say that you are correct. I clearly remember his first scenes in the nursery with baby Lulu when Lucky asked what the hell he was doing with his sister. He seemed rather sheltered, quiet, reserved, socially inexperienced. Spencer is being written like preteen Petey Courtlandt or A.J. Chandler, little rich prick in training.

    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in its final season, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
    • I figured because Kate received her cancer treatment at the hospital that she decided to “give back” by being on the board.
    • Someone posted years ago that they remember Pamela Peters (Peggy) was having some sort of issues behind the scenes during the rape storyline and barely participated onscreen when it played out. Trish Stewart (Chris) seemed to carry most of the storyline along with Dick DeCoit (Ron) and David Hasselhoff (Snapper). I think the poster also mentioned that Anthony Hererra (Jack) said that Pamela Peters one day looked into the camera and exclaimed she didn't know what she was doing and walked out of the scene.
