Members cjl Posted March 20, 2006 Members Share Posted March 20, 2006 Breaking News ATWT's Damian Is Back! We've been hinting at it for awhile now, but the deal is finally done: Paolo Seganti is returning as ATWT's Damian in May, not long after Luke comes out. "Damian is from Europe and a hot-blooded, old fashioned, square guy, so I think there will be a lot of drama," says Seganti, who lives with his family in L.A. and will be commuting to New York. "I’m going to be doing three weeks [of work] with a week off so I can be with my family." But the length of his stay is still indefinite. "It depends on Martha [byrne, Lily]," laughs Seganti of the co-star who helped facilitate his return. "She’s the one to blame or praise for me being back." http://soapoperadigest.com/news/breaking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kelli_blue Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 I can't wait, I can't wait! I just love Paolo and have missed his Damian Grimaldi so much.....I think this might be just what I need to start watching ATWT again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Walsh Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 great news, but only because it's temporary because, to me, I think that Holden is more of Luke's father than Damian is and Holden's reaction to Luke's coming out is more important IMO. So, from the details, it looks like Damian's not going to be that supportive of Luke?? I hope that Holden lets go of his reservations and stands up for his son.

Members MichaelGL Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 Great news! I would like to see how Holden would react towards Damian's rejection of Luke's sexuality. I bet he stands up for his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 OMG...Yay! I heard about this on another board but I'm loving the "indefinite stay" part. Go, Martha! I only saw Damian during the Malta storyline but that was enough to make me fall in love with the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 The only thing that really excites me about this is the reaction that Holden will have to Damian's problem with Luke. Damian has been so out of Luke's life for so long that to me the rejection is more for shock value than anything. I don't see it really mattering to Luke in the long run. Holden is really the only Dad he has ever known. If Holden rejected him, I would see that as more devastating to Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Actor87 Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 I totally agree with you, Steve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Drew Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 i don't think they're telling this right. Holden clearly has a problem with it. I think Damian coming in, absentee daddy, and being all accepting would stick it more to Holden. More drama. It sounds like the way they're headed with this story is going to make Damian into the biggest ass! The TC Russell of CBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 Okay, you're getting my hopes down. But then again, I really liked Damian when he was supposedly endangering everyone in Italy so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 YES! YES!! YES!!! YES!!!!!!!!!! Can't tell I'm excited, can ya? Next to hearing James Reilly is leaving Days, this is the best news I could ever hear come out of daytime. I'm a HUGE Paolo Seganti fan and hope he sticks around for the long haul.

Members kelli_blue Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 THAT is the way I would like the storyline to go. I would like Damian to accept his son 100%, for who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 But if Damian were to be fully accepting of Luke, then Holden would be walking a fine line. I don't know that the show is ready or able to make a core character appear to be homophobic. (Seriously, I worry that the writing would be completely devoid of subtlety.) I like how they've portrayed Holden so far, though -- not so much anti-gay as concerned for Luke and what this means for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Walsh Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 ITA. I love Damian, but IMO he isn't Luke's real father: Holden is. I think that Holden's reaction is more important than Damian's. Who's been there throughout most of Luke's childhood? More importantly, who was there when Luke got sick and almost died? Holden has, not Damian. From what the spoiler says, though, it seems like Damian's not going to be supportive of Luke. I wouldn't like to see him be supportive just to cause trouble between Holden and Luke's relationship. Plus, I don't see Holden as not being supportive of Luke coming out anyway. So far, he and Jack are the only adults who realize what's going on with Luke. I don't think that Holden is upset about Luke being gay: he just needs to process things, especially since Luke has yet to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Q Steph Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 Damian is a great character. He's full of smoldering sexuality. It would make more sense for him to be accepting of Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
