SOD: Dattilo Back to Days
"Life is good," smiles Bryan Dattilo, who returns to Days of Our Lives on June 18th as Lucas Horton to help pay tribute to Alice Horton/Frances Reid.
In December, Bryan was let go from the show and he indicated that he didn't plan to ever come back. "I felt really close to Frances during the time I was there. I would always give her a really big, wet kiss on the cheek when she was in the makeup chair. I even did a striptease for her once. I loved her. When they asked me back for the funeral, I thought it was just fitting. I couldn't say no."
Dattilo says his return to the show has been surreal. "I saw a lot of the people I used to watch and work with on the show. I used to watch when Lisa Trusel was on; she came up and introduced herself to me. She was so sweet and I was like, 'I had the biggest crush on you when I was 13.' Bill and Susan were there. And Suzanne? Come on. How hot is that lady? Christie Clark had a bun in the oven and looked great. It was great to see her. But it feels like a different show. We were in the makeup room and you look around and it's a hybrid of Days and Passions. I was singing, 'Breathe in, breathe out' alot. It's not the Days I grew up on, but if it's working, that's all that matters."
As for whether or not he would ever consider returning to Days again, Dattilo reveals: "I love the show and I love my character. It would hard to just come in for birthdays and holidays because I feel like I have more to offer than that, but if I ever got a legit crack at it again, I would totally embrace it."
In the meantime, he's working construction. "I am building sound studios," reveals Dattilo. "It's weird because I'm going into places that I used to be employed at, like Sony. You're in the Sony commissary and someone does a double take at you. But it's cool. I'm not afraid of a hard day's work."
