Lucas North Speculation

[Byatil]

But then the issue is that if they bring Lucas back with a big 'redemption' plot... the series he appears in will once again have to focus mainly on him. I love Lucas' character, but I don't want him to be the focus of the show! If they wanted to give a proper explanation I get the feeling it would take up a lot of screentime. Unless it was a fleeting comment by a senior Chinese official (or whichever nationality you believe might have set him up); think Connie in 7.8 "It was me, Lucas". Something like that would work. But then we'd be back at square one - if we assume Lucas to be alive, we're back to the 'de-briefing' and attempts to prove his trustworthiness. If he's dead, then at least it would give fans some closure, but then again the point may be that you can't always find closure. There are some questions that are always left unanswered.
