What are your thoughts on the return of Bryan Dattilo's Lucas?
» The story: Bryan Dattilo returning to DAYS

I'm overjoyed. I've missed seeing Lucas and it's time he came home.
I like Bryan's work as Lucas, but I'm not sure he's needed in Salem now.
I've never been a fan of Lucas, so I'd prefer that he stay away.
I'm not sure yet. It all depends on what story brings Lucas back to town.
I have no opinion about Dattilo's return at this time.
