While storyline details have not been announced, it looks like Lucas is back in town just in time for the awakening of his cousin, Lulu (now played by Alexa Havins), who requires a liver transplant.

Although Lucas and Lulu two are not related by blood, the show has recently made enormous efforts to rebuild the Spencer family,...
