[spoilers] Lucas Discussion 2

[Saerwen]

If Lucas had any iota of John in his persona being in tortured for such a long length of time would surely have made an appearance whilst held by the Russians they don't pussyfoot around when trying to get you to talk, so it makes me believe that Lucas was never John and there was nothing there to come out, the same way the Russians were trying to get him to spill the beans on sugarhorse but he didn't know anything so couldn't tell them about it no matter how hard they tortured him and you saw the look on Harry's face when Lucas mentioned he the word that no one was supposed to know.
I remember Lucas saying that it was his love of Elizaveta that kept him going through out his imprisonment then for it to change in 9.8 that he suffered all that they threw at him in prison as atonement for what he did in Dakar. A convenient about turn by the writers.
Lucas for me will always have a clean slate. My faith in the writers have been severely dented that the couldn't be bothered following the continuity of such a marvellous program.
