Bryan Dattilo Dishes On Returning to 'DAYS

It's been almost two years since Bryan Dattilo (Lucas Horton) has been on Days of our Lives. After the collapse of Lucas' marriage to Chloe, he was written out, only returning for a brief time in June 2010. Since then, fans have been very adamant about wanting the fan favorite to return and this month they get their wish! In December, DAYS announced Dattilo would return as part of the show's "reset".

Lucas returns to a much different Salem than the one he left. His ex-wife Sami's marriage to Rafe is on the rocks, his brother (and at times rival) Austin is back in town, and his son Will is spiraling out of control. Will Lucas be able to help his family get back on track? Could Lucas and Sami find their way back to each other?

Find out when Bryan Dattilo makes his return February 29.

TVSource Magazine: What's it like being back on the show?

Bryan Dattilo: It's great. It's kinda like being in high school all over again. When you've seen everyone you used to know and you don't see them for a while, basically nobody changes so it's kind of cool. It's been like a timewarp, like a Twilight Zone episode. It's been really fun. We have a lot of work to do so to kind of be back after a rest, to have all that workout, we're all on the same island with getting used to the dialog again. It's been entertaining.

TVSource Magazine: Have you worked with Patrick Muldoon yet?

Dattilo: I've been in scenes with him. We've had a couple of exchanges where we see each other and say what's up. And that's kind of weird because he's always called me Lucas anyway. When I first saw him again after like 10 years the first thing he says to me, [perfectly imitating Patrick Muldoon] "Dude Lucas! What's up?" And I'm like "Dude, my name is Bryan. Don't know you know that by now?" [Laughs]. He's cool. He's done a really good job and he's got a lot of really good storyline with Christie Clark, who is another great person to see.

TVSource Magazine: How have has life on set changed since the last time you were on the show?

Dattilo: The shooting schedule is a lot different because we take a week off every month now. Having to shoot so much in a couple of weeks is a bit challenging. It's hard to feel totally satisfied when you come home from work because you've barely had enough time to get it to the point where they'll take it. It's been a challenge to do the dialogue since the pace is a little faster, but I think it's a cleaner show.

Not that the writing was ever dirty -- it's clearer. These characters have been involved with each other for so long, there's so much history between these people. It's been fun to kind of update it and make it fresh. I think the writers and producers have done a really good job making it fresh. Even though it's the same people, it's different. Everyone has a renewed energy about working.

I think it's going to improve the ratings a lot and rekindle the loyalty the fans have for the show. Hopefully the show will be on a long time because of that.

TVSource Magazine: Your fans were very vocal in wanting you to return ever since you left. Do you feel they played a part in Days of our Lives asking you to come back?

Dattilo: I think fans don't realize just how much power they actually have. When you have loyal fans that stood up like mine did, that's probably the thing that brought me back. I just appreciate it so much. I feel a sense of obligation to do the best work possible so they don't look like idiots for asking me to return. I believe the producers value what the fans think, so thank you to all of my fans.

Plus they've been sending me all kinds of goodies – cakes, cookies, balloons and flowers. All of that stuff is really cool and flattering. It lets other people know that you're wanted. That goes a long way. Thank you.

TVSource Magazine: How long is Lucas sticking around? Is your return open ended?

Dattilo: I'm hopeful I can stick around for a while. It's the kind of thing where you really have to bring your "A" game every day. Soap operas are dropping left and right so it's a really hard thing to tell how long it's going to last or how long I'm going to last. But I'm going to strive to do the best work I can and last as long as I can. Hopefully it'll elongate my run. I know I'm on board as long as they need me and as long as there's a show. I can only be prepared and do the best I can and hopefully stick around.

TVSource Magazine: What has Lucas been up to since leaving Salem?

Dattilo: Lucas went to Hong Kong and ran a division of Kate's company Hearth and Home. He encountered a young lady and comes back with some attachments to a lady in Hong Kong. He's been busy -- eating a lot of brown rice [Laughs], working on his Mandarin and learning world power economics and trade. He's coming back a pretty smart guy who could help a lot of people if they just use him.

TVSource Magazine: What brings him back to town?

Dattilo: Sami of course. She's having trouble in her life and she thinks his kids need him. Being there for Will and Ally is a huge thing for Lucas when he comes back. I think that Sami is kind of at her wits end with her relationship [with Rafe]. Sami always cycles men so I think she's in a down cycle. He tries to be there for her when he comes back to Salem so that can only stir up trouble [Laughs].

TVSource Magazine: With Sami's marriage falling apart and Will spiraling out of control, now is the perfect time for Lucas to rebuild the family he's always wanted. Is there a chance Lucas and Sami could grow closer during this trying time?

Dattilo: You can never count Sami and Lucas out as a couple entirely. There's always that sexual tension lingering in the air. Whenever they get mad at each other they usually want to have some make up love [Laughs]. You never know.

There are a lot of obstacles in their way and there are a lot of things they're preoccupied with. So who knows? It's the kind of thing you have to tune in to see to believe. And if you miss it you're going to hear about it and wish you saw it and watched it unfold. It's going to be fun. It'll be fun for the people who've rooted for them in the past and for the people who don't. I think everyone is going to have it both ways.

Bryan Dattilo first airs on Wednesday, February 29

YEAH!!!! I love the hints of Lumi, I love the fact that he has story on his own and remember people if Lucas/Bryan has story, he has work and we have him on screen! We'll see Lumi, so I guess that is where the Lumi and non Lumi fans will be happy, the non Lumis are not happy because he comes with a fiancee, the Lumis are happy because he actually will be sharing scenes with Sami.

Yup! I get it now, lol. I'm sure the non-Lumi fans will be rooting for Lucas and his fiancee in no time too. ;) I wonder who will be playing her.

^^^ What will be hysterical about that is the fiance won't even be onscreen and you know some will be talking about how much they enjoy Lucas with her ... and the first time I see one of them talking about their "chemistry", I think I may literally burst something from laughing so hard.

LMAO! So true. I mean from Bry's interviews so far, it doesn't seem like this fiancee has much importance other than the fact that she's his fiancee...for now. And it seems to me like Lucas will be too wrapped in Sami to remember he's engaged. That would be hilarious!

Mandarin? I thought it was Cantonese in HK. I may have to rewrite a fic now...
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

It's mostly Cantonese but the children now are encouraged to learn both plus a third dialect. My trainee last year was from the chinese province bordering HK and speaks both fluently. He's also the 4th child in his family, having 3 older sisters, lol.

Ooooh, Lucas in the business world. Yay! It's great that he has a ton of scenes with Sami and Will. Can't wait to watch! And I hope they'll break him out of the Lumily bubble as well, more than before, and mix him up in some other storylines too.

So does this mean that Lucas could be the new CEO of Titan after all with all his business knowledge and if so bring it on and if he is the new CEO I hope he winds up hiring Sami to work for him for this would be the perfect setup for Lumi to work together once more and maybe even have another love scene in the Titan Photo Lab as well or possibly elsewhere but if Lucas winds up hiring Sami he would be getting to see her daily on a daily basis which is going to be awesome.

I say bring it on and bring on Lumi working together in the same work place once more. Them is the same work place watching them work together will be fun plus Lucas and Sami will be spending more time together as well and falling for each other all over again with the feelings that never left either one of them that are still their that they still feel for each other for this storylines going to rock and sounds really awesome. Its awesome that we finally know an airdate for Lucas and that the airdate is indeed February 29th for thats awesome.

I got stock up on my tapes and I can't wait for us all to discuss all these episode on the General and Spoiled Rotten board as well for this is going to be fun and I can't wait for us to all start posting together once more as a group for this is going to truly rock.

I just find this fiancee thing as a HUGE plot point. To have him come back without her shows a lot of things. One that the show is thinking ahead, but leaving the Lumi option completely on the table. Start with something Lumi, show them in lots of scenes together, sharing lots of screen time and then see if the fan reaction is still big. Since I have no doubt it will be, they could decide to make a go at Lumi, and then as Lucas tries to fight his feelings for Sami, bang the HK fiancee shows up. OR....she just doesn't exist and Lucas is lying to get a rise out of Sami and to keep his mother in check, so that she doesn't butt into his 'life' with Sami because she thinks he has another commitment in HK....that would be smart and it would be a lie that Sami would be pissed about later on if she found out Lucas was playing her and wasn't 'honest'....

the beauty of Lumi and what I've always liked about them was the fact that Lucas and Sami were liars and schemers by nature, but boy did they take offense when one lied to the other.

Interesting theories! Bryan does say in one of the other interviews that Lucas returns with an agenda to see if he's "supposed" to be engaged, lol. I think Sami's call triggers that and leads him to want to find out one last time if there might still be something there with the mother of his children. It sounds like he almost might be testing himself or something. I'm sure he loves his fiancee but obviously he has some major doubts to just leave her there and come all the way back to Salem after a phone call from Sami. Imagine how she must feel? Also another thing I've been thinking about is what if eventually LUMI get to a romantic stage in their relationship and Lucas is faced with the possibility of cheating on his fiancee, who he has somehow still managed to maintain a long distance relationship with? So many exciting possibilities....

I love that they know how to push each others buttons as well and have each others number and also when they get jealous and when they argue its part of their foreplay where you know their attracted to one another as well and truly miss each other where there arguing one minute and all over each other the next minute and just can't get enough of each other and don't want to stop when their wind up making out like crazy where one thing leads to another and then boom it happens once more and they eventually wind up making love. Let the fireworks begin once more and bring on Lumi and bring on the Lumi lovestory.
