Interview with Bryan Dattilo (aka Lucas, Will's dad)

Interview from Soaps.com:

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.



Also, it seems from the spoilers that Will and Sonny might not be on this week. Hopefully they'll sneak in there!

Preference

*back goes up instinctively*

[bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't like that term. But I'm sure he didn't mean anything negative by it at all, especially in the context of his other statements.

That one is right up there with "lifestyle". Unfortunately, we as a society haven't come up with a better term yet. It just like using the term "race" for ethnic traits when there is only one human race.

super late reply, but I had the exact same reaction. I know ppl use this word all the time, even about themselves, but it's just very dnw to me

[anna-drenxavier.livejournal.com]

SOOO GLAD that Lucas is going to be supportive! I really couldn't imagine him reacting badly, though. If anything, he'll become a total Papa Bear. EEEE I can't wait!

[bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited for Lucas to come back and mix things up. Can't wait to see him and Chandler interacting!

Aw, yay! I'm glad to hear Bryan said this: 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.

i can't wait for Lucas to return! i've always loved him. and i can't wait to see how better Bryan Dattillo has aged than Patrick Muldoon. LOL

[anna-drenxavier.livejournal.com]

Which one is supposed to be older, anyway? Austin or Lucas?

[spiceinator.livejournal.com]

Austin is older. Kate had first Billie and then Austin with....drug addict guy whose name I can't remember. Then a few years later hooked up with Bill Horton (when he was married to Laura, Jennifer's mother) and got pregnant with Lucas.

[anna-drenxavier.livejournal.com]

Ah! Well, at least Austin is supposed to be older. :P (Though not THAT much, haha)

I saw a photo of him dated March of 2010...if the date on that is accurate, we are going to be a happy audience. Hnngh.

Cannot wait for Lucas!!

I'm so OTP about Lucas/Sami! :)

[ltklo.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know his airdate?

[batty-gal.livejournal.com]

February 29th!

[ltklo.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I trying to get an idea of when things may start happening.

[batty-gal.livejournal.com]

So glad that Lucas is finally coming back! This show just hasn't been the same without him and his sarcastic style of humor. I've really missed BD, and I hated how they destroyed his character in favor of other ones.

[sexyscholar.livejournal.com]

*is excited*

I can remember when I used to get SOD in the mail and get all starry-eyed at Bryan Datillo when he was on the cover. I didn't watch Days back then, but I had a crush on that actor just the same. <3

I'm looking forward to finally "meeting" Lucas. :D

[mavencree.livejournal.com]

I read on a site - DaysCafe I think - which says that Lucas is going to know/discover about Will being gay before Sammi does. I think Sammi is going to end up being one of the last people in all of Salem to find out about her own son, given how self-involved she is.

I'm new to the show, so I'm looking forward to meeting Will's dad. From what folks are saying, he's GoodDad, which I was hoping for. I hope he has a good haircut though. Most of the clips I can find of him on youtube, he's got the Scott Bayo/Tony Danza cut. I've seen one where he was wearing a suit and it was shorter, but sort of a bad '90's fade.

Hoping for handsome-good-hair dad!
