Was gutted when I read that before (from The Sun but essentially the same article as DS) I dunno whether I agree with it or not. Obviously I love Daria, so I wanted Luke to come back. The thing I don't get is that there hasn't been much publicity about it so it's not as if Emmerdale would suffer greatly from having Luke back in the cast. I may have to settle for a new actor playing Daz just so we can get more Daria scenes, but it definately wouldn't be the same. I think the most likely thing would be to give the part to Luke's brother, as they obviously look (almost) the same. But to me that seems no different than having Luke back because most people who don't read the closing credits would probably just assume it was Luke anyway - which doesn't really get around the problem of Emmerdale's reputation. I hate to compare it to the Ben Freeman case, as rape and GBH are obviously completely different. But we know Ben hasn't returned since he left - although they said in his case his contract just wasn't renewed. I think there were talks to bring Ben back but they didn't think Scott was needed anymore (that's how I remember it anyway. I'll try to find an article on it). I thought they'd at least wait until Luke had been sentenced before making a decision but I suppose they wanted to remove any links to the show before Luke goes back to court. I assume this is why Daz leaves this week, with the case being next week. I really hope Luke gets a new contract when all this has blown over, but I'm not sure he will .

im seriously sad about it too this is what i mean hun, least he admited it , he could have denied it and there could have been a lengthly court case and emmerdale could have been in the media loads but he spared them that and hes accepted responsibilty for what he did ,.i think it sucks majorly well I dont know hun but i wouldnt be suprised if they did try to replace him,I mean the storylines all left up in the air and yeah they could just forget it completly but ya know what emmerdales like no doubt they will try and replace him ,not to mention after the character leaves vic goes on a "downward spiral" as one mag said as shes pining for him ,so there would have to be some sort of continuation of the storyline for daria but if they do replace him its not gonna be the same it really isnt i wont care that must for it i know that fact.I would find it rather bad for them to replace him though as luke played the character for years and to replace him is just rather bad if ya ask me I will come here too but no daria is just gonna be awful I know, Luke has played Daz since 2003, that's a looong time, and we have seen his grow, i know they replaced Victoria,, but umm no one really cared about that, well no one seemed to mind as the other Victoria didn't do much anyways.. With Daz, he has had a lot of storylines, and he is now what?? 18 now?, be hard to replace him, if they did, i would still watch, but it wouldn't be the same *sobs*..... gosh it seriously is a long time hes been in it ages . the only thing i can think of his if he did go to prison he would aneed a new contract anyways as it would maybe end by the time he got out so maybe when he gets out like rachel says there will be a contract with new terms? i dunno trying to find the brightside perhaps have no clue if this will happen yeah exactly it would just be totally bad to have someone else replace him it wouldnt be the same at all and plus daria would be way different it just would not be the same nearly finished creating the petition btw

is there any point of doing some sort of petition or no? have no clue .i just feel like something should be doen even though probably wont make a difference i dont know I'm happy to sign it if someone makes one. But I honestly don't think it will make much difference as the producers (or whoever it is who makes these decisions ) will have already made their minds up. Also I think you would need a lot of people to sign it to show how much we all want Luke in the show.

I also wondered why there wasn't more publicity with this in the papers, the first i heard of it was a tiny section in one of The Sunday morning papers, while ago...

I dont want his twin replacing him either, but put it this way they have both played the same character before, so he could pull off the chemistry with Vic. He didn't get alot of bad publicity, only a day and that is all we heardof it until today it has been brought back up again, this could be because of the trial next week. The thing that makes me wonder about Daz's return is because it was put up last week on digispy, presuminly by the Emmerdale bosses, then this week they have said they have terminated his contract, whether this means the end of Daz's character, I mean why have this storyline and terminate his contract. I hope he gets a new contract aswell

I think every Daria fan can tell the difference between Luke and Elliot.

I guess his twin could possibly can the same chemistry with Vic...good point. I saw on DigitalSpy that Daz returns in late summer??, is it still there, maybe they ARE replacing Daz, hmmm?? I just wonder if Daz/Victoria would havw gottenv together properly by now, if this whole court case hadn't arrived ....at least Luke regrets his actions now
