Days Of Our Lives

DAYS Bryan Dattilo talks about his return and reveals Lucas to bed Sami!

Bryan Dattilo is on his way back to the airwaves as Lucas Horton next week on Days of our Lives! Circle February 29th to be exact. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as both Will’s and Sami’s life are shattered with the EJ-Sami grief-sex encounter now exposed to her hubby, Rafe and Will kissing a guy for the first time in a drunken stupor!

So as his family implodes, enter Lucas who tries to deal with the fallout! And as he tells TV Guide in a brand new interview out today, look for LUMI to hit the sheets … again!

Bryan on Lucas and Sami’s tortured relationship: “Lucas always seems to show up when Sami is at her most vulnerable. It doesn’t take long for her to start admitting her mistakes. Like, within the first five minutes she says, ‘I slept with EJ again! I had a moment of weakness!’ That annoys the hell out of Lucas. He’d be fine with anybody but EJ. But he and Sami discover they still have feelings for each other. [Laughs] Oh, who am I kidding? It’s all sexual tension with them. It doesn’t take long before they’re jumping into bed!”

So soapers, would you be up for another round of LUMI? Let us know!

Not really. She needs to come clean about her feelings with EJ and THEN go from there. This denial she has over EJ is really old and boring.

I wasn’t up for them the first time. Too much brother sister vibe to me – never saw any sexual attraction at all.

Please NO LUMI! They’ve had their chance and fizzled. It’s time for EJAMI to reunite! EJ and Sami have the best chemistry and belong together forever!

For the love of God NO!!!!! I’ve been waiting for almost 6 years to get proper writing for EJami. Besides, EJ busted up Lumi all those years ago for a reason and Lucas should know better than to take back Sami AGAIN. It’s EJami or bust for me.

Sami regrets her encounter with EJ and she compounds that with sleeping with Lucas after telling Rafe she wanted to save their marriage? I just started watching this soap, but Sami’s relationships with everyone–including her mother and son–seem pretty screwed up. What do people like about the character of Sami? Does she have a good side too? Or is she one of those characters people like to dislike?

like you ,Im new to this and sami seems to be a troubled soul that thinks only about herself,she should start being there for will,even though he is better off talking to marlana,I hope that rafe leaves her.I f I was him I couldnt forgive and forget,it would always be on my mind what she did.if she does have a good side I have not seen it yet,started watching when all my children ended,and everything I have seen so far,she shouldnt be a mother ,will has been trying to talk to her and its like she cant see her own… Read more »

Barbara, what are you doing over here commenting about this program? Second, since the lost of AMC and OLTL, I refuse to get stuck on another soap opera. I started to try, BUT I thought, I could be using my time more effectively now that it’s free’d up. I was so happy when the soaps could be viewed on abc.com, because I had long stopped tapping them when I missed them. But, trying to watch 3 shows that have missed during a work week, (3, 4 days of shows) had become all to consumming. Now that they are over, I… Read more »

This is so not necessary! Lucius must be a gluten for punishment!

I take it you mean him going to sami?Im new to dool,and I think that sami should forget about sex and pay attention to her kids ,mostly will,that poor kid has problems and all she wants to to is think about how she is hurting.does sami have any good in her ?started watching dool when I lost all my children and since then I have seen anything about her that I like and she acts like she hates everyone ,except herself .

LUMI

LUMI fans have waited sence 1993 for Lucas and Saim, and his kids need him,not some other man being a part time step dad. Lucas has always loved his kids and Johhy and Sydeny too.
EJ and Nicole love each other,and they work great together,and now Nicole is going to have a baby with EJ, good for them,keep them together.
and keep LUMILY together. :))

agree. I used to love Safe and EJami, but both couplings bot boring fast, and Carrie and Rafe have sizzling chemistry. Go EJole and Go Lumi!

Guest

Ree

Add my voice to those who say it is time for EJami to get their long awaited chance. I want to see Sami own her feelings for EJ and do a lot of self reflection on what her denial has done to her, to EJ and to their children. EJ & Sami are a complex and compelling pair & the actors off the charts chemistry & connection set them so far above the rest. This is the story I am interested in seeing, it is the one that has yet to be told. Lumi had their time, they’vr moved on… Read more »

Hi Barbara, yes I’m in Melbourne Australia. I have watched Days since I was a little kid. My mum and grandmother use to have it on when I would come home from school for lunch. I have lloved it for over 40 yrs. 🙂 At the moment I think we are about 18 myths behind you. Every year in our summer time Days gets taken off for several days through the week because of cricket! Needless to say I hate that sport lol We are currently up to victor finding Maggie in the coffin and hope in jail and sammi… Read more »

Please excuse spelling silly auto correct put Raf as rad doh!

I’m so over any interest I might have once had for Lumi. Been there; done that – one too many times for anything new and interesting to come out of it. I’d love to see EJ and Sami finally get together, this time for good. As far as I’m concerned, the show is wasting the best potential pairing they have. What for??? I’m losing interest fast in the show.

Guest

Rachel

Nooo!!!!! Can’t stand LUMI!!!!! Worst pairing ever!!!!!

Guest

I used to be and EJami fan before the shooting-Sydnapping incident, then switched over to a fan of EJole and Safe, due to their chemistries. But now, even though I still love EJole, Safe is boring the hell outta me. I think that Lumi would be pretty nice, especially because Sami messed up Safe by having sex with EJ, and Rafe messed up by kissing Carrie. Their relationship is over, and now Carrie and Rafe have found each other. I liked Caustin before, but, like Safe, they got boring. Carrie and Rafe, or Cafe, seems like an endgame pairing, so… Read more »

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

DAYS Billy Flynn Opens Up To Maurice Benard About His Battle with Addiction on All-New ‘State of Mind’

May 30, 2021

In a terrific episode of Maurice Benard’s (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) State of Mind You Tube series, the actor welcomes another one of the best actors on daytime, Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives).

What made this so compelling was Billy Flynn’s ability to talk openly, frankly, and with great understanding about his battles with addiction which he notes have been alcohol, drugs, and the cycles he has found himself in within his life and how he was able to break free of them, and the work he continues to do to keep him from falling back into them.

Flynn shares how much of his adult life was greatly impacted by his childhood, and explained to Benard, how he acted out when he was younger. He also shares how his addiction caused issues for awhile with his job at Days of our Lives.

This episode is a powerful one to watch for anyone struggling with issues of addiction, dependency, suicide, having problems at work, and trying to not self-destruct, which so many of us do, once we seemingly get what we what or while we are trying to obtain it.

Bravo to Billy and Maurice for bringing this forward and to the audience.

Watch Billy’a visit on State of Mind below, followed by a bonus segment where Flynn asks Benard some ‘hard-hitting’ questions.
