Lucas Fitzgerald

Lucas Fitzgerald is a fictional character on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, portrayed by Scott Major. Lucas made his first onscreen appearance in episode 5502, which aired on July 22 2008.

Character background
Lucas is the mechanic for the Ducatti racing team, and is always travelling. He is the brother of Dan Fitzgerald (portrayed by Brett Tucker), whom he had a troubled past with. When they were teenagers, they were obsessed with dirt bike racing and were constantly competing with each other. Dan had run Lucas off the track, nearly killing Lucas. Lucas is under the assumption that Dan did it intentionally, though Dan is uncertain if he did or not. Lucas's personality is described as cheeky, cocky, always the life of the party and loves being a hero to his mates.

Storylines
Lucas first entered the show when he was drinking with his mates at the local bar Charlie's. He was dared by his mates to try and pick up Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine), however he was turned down, and as a result they stripped off most of his clothes and tied him to a light post outside. Libby saw him later, and teased him about his situation, however they ended up agreeing to a date. Their first date went well, with Libby staying out all night with him on a rooftop that had a view of Melbourne at night. They tried to arrange another date, however after Lucas saw Libby talking to his brother Dan, he stood her up, leaving Libby hurt. As a result, Libby tracked him down, and found his motorbike, which led to her letting the air out of his tyres. Lucas caught her in the act, and apologised for standing her up, again leading to them arranging another date. Their next date was at an art gallery, however when Libby showed up, it seemed that Lucas had stood her up again. She found him cooking at a barbecue, where he revealed that he was an artist at the gallery. Over time they grew closer together, until Dan found out that his brother was dating Libby, whom he had an attraction to himself. Dan barged in on the two of them together one night, where Libby ordered Dan out of her house. Lucas and Libby eventually go for another date to a lake, where he reveals the secret about his motorbike accident (where Lucas was run off the road by Dan) and Libby also opened up about her motorbike accident. Later, Dan tried to call Libby to warn her about Lucas, though she rejects the call, making Lucas begin to doubt the relationship, claiming it was just a bit of fun. He gives her the keys to his ute and Lucas rides off on his bike. Later, Lucas shows up at Charlie's where Dan happened to be. They start to get into a fight, just as Libby walks in. Libby wonders what is going on, and Toadie (Ryan Moloney) reveals to Libby that they are brothers. Lucas later tried to make it up with Libby though she decides to shut out both of the Fitzgerald brothers, and tells Lucas to leave town. Lucas later meets Elle Robinson (Pippa Black), where they spend the night together apparently talking. Libby sees them together, and later tracks him down, where they make amends and Libby agrees to give him another chance. Dan decided to pay Lucas a visit to his apartment, where they get into a fight, resulting in Lucas almost falling from the balcony of his apartment, and he dislocates Dan's shoulder.
