Wonder who Bryan Dattilo is talking about? We caught up with him just before his much-anticipated return to "DOOL" to find out about the future of Lumi, his response to Will's sexuality and his Lucas' love for his kids.

Soaps.com: How were you approached about returning to "DOOL?"

Bryan: My manager had hinted to stay in sharp and stay in shape and stay ready, just in case. And I kept saying "I'm ready, I'm ready" and they said you never know. I didn't really think it was going to be a possibility because I had been back and forth so many times and the show seemed to be stable where it was, the characters and the story lines. So I was just doing my construction thing, hoping I wouldn't have to do that, and they mentioned that would be possible and I would come back recharged, ready to go and the wouldn't be disappointed. Eventually they said, alright, come back and show us what you got. And I was really happy. In the past the job was so challenging and draining at times i kind of got burnt out on it and maybe took advantage of it a little. Being back now, it is just night and day. A couple of years outside that environment and life is very real and very hard at times. So to have that kind of blessing and not take full advantage of it was just a waste. It has been great being back and really fun seeing everybody.

Soaps.com: Do you think the story lines are in a right place for Lucas to come back?

Bryan: I think a lot of characters could use a little Lucas in their lives. Sami being one of them, Kate needs a little backup and I can always tap into a half-sibling storyline with Billie and Austin and Carrie and the history there. The history with Nicole and the challenge with the DiMeras again and all of the different options that my character can go in, being a Horton and having all the family. It is a lot you could plug me into and I think the writers have done a really good job spreading me out since I have been back and put me with a lot of different people.

Soaps.com: There are plenty of Sami and Lucas fans out there. What are the chances of them getting back together?

Bryan: You never know with Lumi, when it is going to surface and how it is going to happen or if they both see it at the same time. Usually one is interested when the other one isn't. With them you never know because they have this strong history, basically grew up together and are basically each others first love. Even though Lucas thought it was Carrie he really wanted Sami. He just didn't know it. He has been away from her and he comes back realizing that the connection they had might still be there a little. He is coming back for Will and Allie and Sami as a friend. But there is also all this sexual tension in the air. They could break a bed at any time. She has a lot of guys, so he always has adversaries to conquer to get her. But who know? You have to tune in.

Soaps.com: What can you tell us about Lucas' return?
Bryan: I believe I can say he comes back with a fiance from Hong Kong and people react differently. Some people are happy, some people aren't. Some people hide the fact that they aren't, some hide the fact that they are. But he comes back a little more mature, a little stronger, a little more independent. But he comes back wanting to be a dad and realizing that he has spent enough time away without being a dad. That is a big priority for Lucas. That is the one thing I had a hard time with. Even though Allie came to live with him for a while in Hong Kong, he wouldn't just leave his kids. He is a stand-up dad. It is good to kind of have that again.

Soaps.com: Will Lucas have any idea Will is gay, or that he is being blackmailed into working for EJ?

Bryan: Well, he doesn't like that he is working for EJ right off the bat. He is not aware of his son's preference yet. But certain things transpire that alert him, he becomes enlightened by his recent choices. And I really got to thank the writers for handling it really well because he is there for his son no matter what, and that would be the way I want to play it. I don't want Lucas to be a bigot or prejudiced in any way. We have filmed enough scenes that we have tap danced around the issue. Chandler is such a great actor, there are so many levels to play with him. He is a great listener and always knows his lines, comes in ready to go, so that has been really fun.

Soaps.com: Will Lucas still be working for Kate?

Bryan: He always has this Hearth and Home thing, but in Salem you never know. Nothing is for sure, nothing is forever. So I think you can't get too comfortable where you are. The blindsides come from other people and there are a lot of people in that business world story line who have a lot to battle with as far as Mad World Cosmetics and Stefano and Madison. And Ian and all his history and Stefano being tied into it. You have all these corporations being fought over and all these teams are building up and I think Lucas kind of plugs in really good with that.

Soaps.com: Have you started working with Lisa Rinna yet?

Bryan: I haven't had many scenes with Lisa. I have had scenes with Austin, and I have had scenes with Carrie. I haven't had too many with Billie. I just know she is back and that we have seen each other. We had one little encounter with mom and that was kind of cool. I have had a little more with Austin, a lot with Sami, a lot with Will.

Soaps.com: Can you tell us about the work you did before returning?

Bryan: When I was off I was doing construction, fabric installation and repair at Sony Studios, which is in Culver City, but with people I used to work with. So I would see executives who used to be at NBC while on my job at Sony and they would ask what film I was working on, or what TV show. And I would say "I am rebuilding the Burt Lancaster Theater, we are building some walls." So I would get there at about 5 a.m., work until 2 or 3 in the afternoon and be home with my son when he got home from school to do homework and do the dad thing. It was really humbling. I did a lot of hard work, but it just made me appreciate what I had before that much more.

Tfp! I'm loving all the Bryan interviews. It's great reading all this talk about Lumi and Bryan mentioning breaking beds is just icing on the cake. Let's see some aren't too happy about Lucas' finance. Well now I wonder who that could be... ;)

Well anyone who thought the show would bring back bry as lucas and not revisit lumi is just plain delusional.

... Yes the show was definitely stable where it was at ... stuck with a million+ fewer viewers than it had when Lucas was still in Salem...

So one interview has him leaving her in HK and the other has him returning w/her? What is it? My bet is that she stays over in HK because he rushes over to the states and then he sends for her, or she just pops up....

lol Norma....Emily, lol....that would be hysterical....and if Lucas goes blind all of a sudden I'll know have been checking out 2C a little too much, lol.

And you'll have to write some more to make sure Days knows how to end it...
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 could be either way. If Lucas returns with the fiancee, I have a feeling she becomes invisible to Lucas the minute he sees Sami if you know what I mean. ;) Or she could always arrive later on. I'm envisioning another Nurse Manda or Sophie.

I think it is just the wording of this article. I interpreted it as Lucas returns to Salem as a man engaged to a finance who is from Hong Kong, not that she actually accompanies him back to Salem. I don't remember any announcements of new hires that would fit as Lucas' fiance. There was a casting call months back that might have fit but nothing seems to have ever come of that.

They won't cast her yet. If/when they do, we'll know without a doubt that they're bringing her on as an obstacle for lumi, and that will be a good day. You only need an obstacle if you're a couple.

I guess we'll see if this is a "runaway groom" scenario because that's what I got from the other article. It seemed like Lucas comes back to Salem because he's not sure if he wants to get married and possibly wants to see if there is still something there with Sami. That's what I interpreted. And no I don't remember reading any casting calls that might fit the bill for Lucas's fiancee.

Well one has to think that it's odd that his fiance isn't accompanying him. If he was super tight with her, he'd want her to get to know his kids, his mother etc. because they'll always come as part of the package deal. If he has doubts about the strength of his own feelings, then this will give him his answer. Either absence will make the heart grow fonder and he'll send for her, or, it won't :d

Sounds like Lucas has cold feet. And all it takes for him to come home is a phone call from his first love/soulmate/love of his life. :)

I actually think the finance thing is put out there to bring in if needed. Oh how delicious it would be if this was Emily.
