There are 100 reasons why Salem needs Lucas Horton this year and we do, too!
100:
Lucas is an uncle yet again; he needs to see his nephew Parker.
Lucas has already shown he knows how to be a great uncle. Ask his son, Will!
99.
Kate has too much on her plate these days, with dealing with Vivian and patching up her marriage with Stefano. She needs someone who knows Hearth and Home (Salem) to step in and keep it going. That would be Lucas.
Even Kate admitted Lucas is needed back on his last trip home. Heck, they talk about several reasons in Salem:
98.
Salem needs a little laughter as everyone is going through some tough times. Bryan Dattilo's Lucas can interject that as only Lucas can.
Who can forget this little gem?!
97.
Jennifer is having a rough time and losing her heart (literally). She could use the support (and possibly blood) of her brother Lucas.
96.
Abby might be getting involved with a Dimera! Uncle Lucas has lots of life experience with that family to impart.
95.
Mother Kate needs help dodging Vivian's wrath.
At 3:37 in this clip: Vivian learns how loyal Lucas is to those he loves, even Kate.
94.
Brother Philip needs help learning to be a dad.
In the first scene: see Lucas' excitement for his brother. Claire turned out not to be Phillip's. Lucas should be there to share in Phillip's joys and worries this time around.
93.
Cousin Nathan is dealing with the aftermath of trying to get over his true love with a poor substitute who lied to him - Lucas knows a thing or two about that.
I had to add this:
92.
Cousin Hope got beat up in prison!! Lucas could swap stories with her on that.
Favorite line from this clip: "For good. I'm coming home."
Make it happen, TPTB!
91.
Sister Jennifer is lost without Jack, distanced from her children - Lucas could offer much needed support and understanding.
Lucas was, after all, best man at their wedding.
90.
Since we know that Hearth and Home needs a high level executive in
Hong Kong, we're sure that Austin and Carrie are willing to take on the challenge so Lucas can be closer to their niece and nephew. Surely Lucas can do much of his job in Salem anyway, where it's easier to touch base with the founder, Kate.

Lucas only wanted it temporarily in the first place.
89.
Son Will has been through enough without his dad around - Lucas needs to be there for his son as he is transitioning into a man.
88.
Daughter Allie has been tossed around and greatly ignored, as well as traumatized over her brother's illness - Lucas NEEDS to be present to give her some stability and love.
87.
Caroline just had a stroke; it’ll take her months to fully rehabilitate. Who is going to care for Allie while Sami is tending to Johnny? Her dad can!
Who do you think took care of the kids when Sami was running around being bullied by the Dimeras?!
86.
Daniel was cheated on by Chloe - Lucas should be there to remind Daniel that he shouldn't be so high and mighty.
But then Daniel's always been Mr. High and Mighty Cheater. Still, Lucas has a way at telling the unvarnished truth. Like in his scenes in this episode (Hits at around 2:30):
85.
Nicole's sister Taylor is coming back to town - Lucas was her friend back in the day.
Some Lucas and Taylor Interaction at 2:35
84.
On January 24th 2011, Kate told Philip that she regrets not allowing Lucas and Bill to get to know each other. Us viewers also regret that we never saw much Lucas and Bill interaction, especially since we enjoyed them together at Alice's funeral. It would also be great to see Kate explore that part of her past if both Lucas and Bill returned to Salem.
83.
EJ has gotten away with hurting his family too much - it's time for Lucas to come back and protect the ones he loves like he used to.
82.
Sami hasn't been Sami since her best friend has been out of her life. Reason enough to have Lucas back.
Look who Will had to call to snap Sami out of her "pity me" moment:
81.
There are not enough Hortons in Salem!!! Bring back a fan favorite with history and ties to the current canvas!
80.
Bryan has fans that miss him!
79.
Lucas has fans that miss him!
78.
Lumi have fans that miss them!
77.
Lucas can deliver snarky humor like Victor can, Days needs more of it.
One of my favorite lines: "One more for daddy. Thank you!" LOL!
76.
Lucas can deliver real truths, Days needs it bad
75.
His reaction to watching Victor and Maggie together is MUST SEE TV!
Lucas knew how much Maggie loved Mickey. He was closer to them than most.
And Lucas has known Victor since his teens. Let's just say, their relationship has always been complicated.
74.
Lucas needs to come back so he can help Sami pick up the pieces of her life “every time it falls apart” and it’s fallen apart now big time.
73.
Bryan Dattilo is awesome! We want to see more of him on our screens...shirtless or fully clothed.
72.
Children love Lucas (and Bryan) and Days has lots of little ones that could use a caring role model.
71.
Very few people in Salem have ties to all major families like Lucas does. He’s a Horton, has children with a Brady, has a brother that’s a Kiriakis, has a mother who is married to a Dimera, his son is dating a Hernandez. It should be really easy to incorporate him into ANY story.
Being related to so many family members comes with its own special drama.
70.
Philip was always the closest to Lucas. Now that he's a new father, Lucas, his best man, should help him become the best father he can be and remind him that this isn't the only child he has.
69.
Remember Alice Caroline Horton (Allie)? Lucas does. He needs to come back to take care of her. Especially now that the Dimeras are threatening to kidnap her!
68.
Nicole has been told to give up drinking. As her old drinking buddy, Lucas should help her find her sober side.
67.
Sami has been allowed to hurt others with no remorse. Lucas always reminds Sami to think of others instead of herself.
66.
All the characters have gone through tough times. Bryan Dattilo’s Lucas is the guy that makes them laugh, at him and themselves.
65.
A shirtless Lucas is never a waste of television.
64.
A fully clothed Lucas is never a waste of television.
I just love the way he wears the suit in this clip:
63.
Lucas covered by a toaster is never a waste of television
62.
There aren't enough men in Salem wearing suits with all of the doctors and cops in town recently we need another man who can really wear a suit and make the women drool while doing so. That's Lucas.
61.
Lucas walking around wrapped in a towel is must see TV.
60.
Lucas has tattoos that supposedly no one knows about; maybe Lucas can tell them why he got them.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
59.
We never really got to see Nathan and Lucas, cousins, and former roommates, bond. Now that Nathan will be leaving soon, maybe Lucas can come back and give him a nice farewell, and wish him luck on his future plans.
58.
Kate's world can fall apart at any minute. She's married to Stefano and we all know what that may bring. She needs Lucas to help her stay above ground as they say.
Lucas has stepped in before to save Kate. From Franco. And from Sami.
57.
Sami doesn't need someone to help her cover up a crime, she needs someone to help her scheme to get away with it, and her partner in crime is Lucas.
One of Lucas and Sami's First real schemes: It starts 1:30 In. (any scene that starts with Lucas singing is a good one)
56.
Taylor is going to need a friend and there is no better and more loyal friend than Lucas.
55
Lucas should be in Salem to help Aunt Maggie sort out her feelings especially when it comes to Victor.
54
Lucas should be in Salem to remind Caroline that switching paternity paperwork only leads to heartache.
Who doesn't remember this classic reveal?
53
Having been in a messy relationship with a woman (and a child involved), Lucas is the best man to help Philip and Nathan through their trials and tribulations with Stephanie, Melanie and Chloe.
52
Johnny has had a very rough year. Lucas loves Johnny as if he were his own. He should be there for Johnny now.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
51
Allie shouldn't have to choose between being with her father, Lucas, and being with her twin, Johnny. Bring Lucas back to Salem so Allie won't need to choose one over the other.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
50
Will has started a relationship with Gabi; Lucas should be there to give him some pointers.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
49
Stefano is going back to his megalomaniacal ways; Lucas should be around to protect all those he loves.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
48
Lucas should talk to Rafe about Sami and the problems with enabling her.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
47
Rafe and Lucas have shared very few scenes and no dialogue. It’s time Rafe met the real competition.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
46
Lucas should be back to remind Sami that everything Rafe can do, Lucas did first.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
45
Lucas should talk to Gabi about Will and what a great kid he is.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
44
Lucas should come back to Salem to talk to Will about the birds and the bees.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
43
Will helped his mother cover up her crime, Lucas knows a thing or two about that and could really be a support system for Will at this time.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
42
Next year’s Christmas celebration at the Horton’s will have one more Horton if Lucas is back in town.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
41
Lucas should be back to remind Roman that he was strong enough to handle Sami too.
{*CLIP COMING SOON*}
Hoping 2011 brings Bryan Dattilo back to Days and Lucas Roberts Horton back to Salem!
