"A sporty guy who struggles with a few things in life"?
Sounds like a textbook closet case.
Mark, thoughts?

Full NIEUWE TIJDEN cast announced: We already knew about Ferry, Vajèn van den Bosch, Tim Douwsma and Holly Mae Brood. The other cast members are: Wouter Zweers Olaf Ait Tami and Soy KroonLisa Bor Cecilia AdoreéLike I wrote earlier, Soy already came back as recast Sil on the main show. So like Holly as Amy, he will move to the new show. I wonder if this means we also might see Lucas back on the main show for a few episodes. It's kind of nice that this new cast looks at Ferry as some kind of father figure. Because of his experience. He's kind of the Jette van der Meij of this show.

Working on those last Lucas episodes translations... But in the meantime the promotion for NIEUWE TIJDEN has started in the Meerdijk app where you can figure out what Lucas' secret is. So far we know this: Lucas doesn't tell his family he's back in the country. He goes into hiding. When a girl at the café asks him about his broken heart, Lucas lies to her. Says he just broke up with a girl. He then starts dating this girl from the café. He kisses her but keeps coming up with excuses to not have sex with her. I wonder why. We also now know that apparently nobody knows where Pelle is. He doesn't respond to messages and his phone isn't working anymore. I think something really bad might have happened to Pelle that made Lucas go into hiding...

Why does he need to date this girl at all? That's not really anything I'd care to watch. And is what's supposed to be the payoff ever worth it? They better make me care about his next relationship, or I'm just giving up on soaps entirely. They all just make me angry.

He's desperately hiding a secret. It's like he's going undercover. I doubt this will take long since his cousin Amy is also going to be living there. There is now a promo airing where he asks Amy to keep his secret. I would feel horrible about this if he was suddenly developing REAL feelings for a girl. But this is something new for Ferry to play so I'm okay with it. But the cast has enough good looking men so I'm expecting something there. I'm not worried.

I stop watching GTS when Menno left, but if your subbing the new show I have to check it out even if Lucas is interested in a girl he couple play bi on the show.

I won't sub the new show. It will air on RTL4 first but when GTST comes back it will move to Videoland, RTL's Netflix-like on demand service. Downloading the episodes would be a problem but I'm also sure they don't want me to upload those scenes somewhere else. Videoland is subscription based. So you have to pay €8,99 a month to watch it. Of course I can update you guys on what's happening.

I suspect Lucas' secret is a contrived way to enable him to come out of the closet in the new show. I bet we're going to see him living among and getting close to some guys who think he is straight. I'm willing to bet he becomes especially close friends with one of the guys and falls in love with him. Drama ensues...

Since Mark won't be subbing this show their no reason to get involved.

That's for everyone to decide for themselves, isn't it? Some might appreciate me giving updates here on what happens with Lucas.

I will appreciate the updates, Mark. After the narrow escape Lucas has made as a character since Ferry's bts drama, and with the state of gays in soaps today, he's the last one with any promise.
It will suck not being able to watch it though if he gets an interesting new romance in this series. I'll have to find some way of watching it in Dutch.

Okay, since Mark said he wasn't subbing, I meant there was no reason for me to get involved in the story. I was speaking about myself no one else and Mark didn't say he was going to do update if that was the case I would have never made that comment. I believe it was just miss communication because I can only speak for myself, no one else. So sorry if anyone was offended.

I know most of you won't be able to watch the new show, but I always valued discussion here, so I'm posting anyway (I feel the need to vent my frustration) . I really struggle with the storyline they're developing for Lucas, because he seems to be hurting the girl he is dating on purpose. Even after he was outed by Sil, he keeps insisting to her that his past was just a phase and that his feelings for her are real. I suspect Lucas' secret is a contrived way to enable him to come out of the closet in the new show. I bet we're going to see him living among and getting close to some guys who think he is straight. I'm willing to bet he becomes especially close friends with one of the guys and falls in love with him. Drama ensues... I also expected something like this and that would be fine for me, but not when he keeps lying to the girl. And I also dont see this work since half the house already knows/expects him to be gay. I understood that Lucas is hiding because he hurt Pelle in self defence (again an abusive partner story) but why does that need to involve leading the girl on. I know all about fluidity of sexual preference, but I cant believe authors actually take Luacs in that direction, so he seems to be very desperate and/or mean and selfish at the moment.

What an odd story, especially for a character like Lucas.

Yeah, that's definitely a weird story for Lucas. Is there any suggestion that he's actually attracted to this girl? Because that would be completely out of character. Perhaps Lucas has been hurt so often and badly by men that he wants to be with a woman because she is unlikely to harm him physically? Seems like developing better taste in men would be a better option.

Based on todays episode Lucas really seems traumatised. He had a panic atack and imagined being threatened and strangled. Agreed, a better taste in men would be better, but if this fear of violent men turns him towards woman I also would prefer him to develope a better taste for woman. This girl is very naief and clingy, I cant imagine he really is attracted to her.

Odd. If this were GTST I might be inclined to expect a good basis for that kind of story (or at least a well-thought-out explanation after the inevitable reveal). This isn't GTST, so I'm not quite sure what to expect. On the other hand, GTST did once have Lucas fall in love with Noud for a while, then suddenly conclude he wasn't in love with Noud anymore. That wasn't the best-constructed story as I recall.

I'm not a big fan of this story either. But I first want to see it play out before I judge it.

Perhaps it will get a lot better since the obvious resolution to the state they've put Lucas in is for him to meet a super nice guy who wins him back to trusting men.
I don't like that they keep portraying Lucas as weak and victimized, though. He used to have a lot more swagger.

Lucas proposes to his girlfriend. Somehow I think it's not going to work out...
