Despite his tenure on the show, most viewers know Lucas for how his time ended.
Since then, hes had time to think about it, and feels ready to return.
I hope viewers get to see the old Eddie, he says.
Hes kept in touch with Rosbach, too, who he says personally asked him to return.
You had this pretty long gap between seasons on the show.
The way everything ended up the last season I was on left a really bad taste in my mouth.
Theres a lot more to clean, a much larger crew to manage.
All the toys, and the slide, obviously the bane of my existence.
You kept in touch with Captain Lee when you werent on the show.
You seemed to have a pretty young deck crew.
Like, whoa, Im no young buck.
Their energy was a big part of that, it kept me going.
The pandemic started to unfold as this season was happening.
For lack of a better word, we were really ignorant to what was going on with the pandemic.
Its tough to really get a view of what was going on back in the States.
When we were out in the islands, you really are in a bubble.
I shouldve realized how fucked we were, but I understand it now.
Obviously, it was like, absolutely not, thats not happening.
I flew in on, Im pretty sure it was St. Paddys Day.
And I was like, Okay, goin in!
So I was like,Wait.
Then once I finally got home, thats when everything started shutting down.
That was pretty wild, to go from this Caribbean paradise to Dont leave your home.
But it was what needed to happen at the time.
You mentioned wanting to come back after what happened with Rocky on season three.
Did you come back onto a charter yacht with a new outlook or rules about relationships?Yeah.
[Laughs] I screwed up season three.
Theres no two ways about it, like, I screwed up.
And it was appalling, my actions.
I was thinking with the wrong head.
Like, I needed to be a leader.
I really wanted to set an example for the whole crew.
Having fun with it was also extremely important.
Have fun with the crew, have fun with Captain Lee, and end strong.
Thats what I wanted to do, is end strong.
