Here's a little article that appeared in the latest SOD Insider.

Stephanie Sloane - SOD Insider
 
DAYS's Bryan R. Dattilo (Lucas), who usually has me giggling non-stop when we chat, got serious and opened up to me about being a single dad and what it was like when he discovered son, Gabriel, 9, was diagnosed with autism at age 3. Gabe has made amazing progress and the proud pop talked about what a great kid he has. "He really doesn't give me much to be angry about," Dattilo praises. "I definitely have my rules and he knows that it's not worth it to misbehave in my house. I think that he's so interested in pleasing me and he loves the fact that I'm happy with him that he's so good at remembering what not to do. When it's time to brush his teeth before bed, if he even gives me one, 'Oh man,' or anything, I'm like, 'Excuse me?' And then he's like, 'Sorry, Dad. Going to brush my teeth.' So I don't have to lay down the law. He knows as soon as my voice changes and I get that 'dad tone' going. He definitely responds quickly, so I don't really have to do much after that. I'm a strict dad, but I'm also the best friend who probably goofs off more than he does. I wear many hats as Dad." For more about the Dattilos special bond, check out Bryan's interview in the new issue.

He's just amazing. I have an 11 year old and my husband and I pitch in equally with everything so I can't even imagine what it's like to be single and trying to raise a kid. Bry is so good at everything he does.

Well, that would explain Lucas' "dad tone" as well :) Sweet article, thanks for posting it.

Fantastic interview! Love the pics of Bry Bry and Gabe through the years.
Do you remember what she told him? She took her lover’s hand, and she said, “just because something is intangible doesn't mean that it's not real.” Lucas, no matter what happens, no matter what we’ve been through, no matter what I say, you will always be in my heart. -- Sami Brady, November 2007

Aww! I can even picture the "look" that goes with his "dad" voice. Playing Daddy Lucas to headstrong Will all these years must have perfected that tone too ;) Great article. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for posting that. Bryan's view on seeing things will get better reminds me why i didn't like how they brought in the storyline to Days. Kept it as devastating news.

OMG - Bryan, if you are reading this - you are ONE HECK OF A GREAT MAN/PARENT! Be proud! (i am!!)
