You're right. He does not fit the cliche soap hunk model (even though he's a good looking guy whose aged far better than most his contemporaries) and he is punished for it.

 

He also plays Lucas with a snarky edge (which is great) and makes the character memorable, but it takes a good writer to appreciate the unique elements an actor can bring to a part, and unfortunately for DAYS and Lucas/Bryan, few have understood how useful and fun Lucas is for the canvas.

Lucas is soooo needed full-time and as other mentioned...not as the "second choice." He has such great chemistry with the whole cast. I say bring in a whole new character as a love interest for him if AS can't stick around full-time...but I'll always love Lumi!

The explosion was so lame.

It is what it is. It’s at the point where I’ll take what I can get.

 

I thought the wedding was one of the best I’ve seen on DAYS in a long time. Too bad Eric and Nicole couldn’t get that

I guess a part of me expects the production values from back in the day. It was still nice to see St Luke's. And see most of the characters at an event. And at least Cin wasn't married at the damn HTS.

It's just crazy to me that Ciara's wedding to the serial killer is the only one that got the grand wedding treatment.

Yeah, it is lol they had to save all the money for them somehow. I was wondering who made that decision: Corday, Alarr or Meng?

Agreed, they may not have been my choice to have the wedding at the church given the recent wedding options, but I thought it was well done and overall enjoyable.

 

Is it just me, but I don’t find Julie likeable, she annoys me so much lol

I enjoyed the wedding, too, and thought the explosion was just fine.

I know it's budget, but there are characters that should have been there...Jennifer, Sonny, Maggie, Roman...

 

I think all of the "wedding budget" went to this one. And yes, at least it wasn't at HTS.

I actually love how "unlikeable" the show makes Julie. It would have been so easy to sweeten the character up and turn her into a kind of Alice clone. But the way they write Julie, you can absolutely believe this is the same character who, in the show's first episode, was arrested for trying to shoplift a mink coat.

Ahh I see, makes sense, I only started watching DAYS shortly before the time jump so as a relatively new viewer this reasoning makes sense regarding Julie.

 

I wasn’t watching when Ben was the necktie killer either so for me I think it’s easier to accept the Cin pairing based off of what I’ve seen, but I know within the fandom, specifically this board, they aren’t well received together.

I absolutely love nasty Julie. She was never a saint. Even if she is old enough to be the matriarch now, it's good to have her with an edge. And Doug so much balances her. It's a perfect match for as long as Bill Hayes will be able to play.

 

The wedding was better than what we are used to these days. I love St. Luke but it was disgusting to see all the Ben props. I wish he was dead in this lame explosion but I know he won't.

There definitely should have been more people. If there hadn't been an explosion, poor Will would have had no one to dance with at the reception lol

 

But it still beats Hope and Jennifer not being at Eli's wedding or Will, Ciara, etc. not being at Eric's

That's Ron Carlivati's fault. I think they would have more fans, myself included, had they been written better and numerous characters weren't destroyed to prop Ben

I mean, obviously Will would have slow danced with Ben. To "Cupid's Chokehold."
