of his character actor craig kelly said during an interview with media website "digital spy": "luke is a likeable character who's got ambition and has achieved success through his wit, charm and instinct. he dresses well and likes a laugh and a flirt with the girls, but can handle himself well. he's not a guy who wants to go to war with someone, but if push comes to shove, he'll have it. really, he just wants to do well in his life. he sees his sexualtiy as a bit of an adventure. i like to call him a well-rounded entrepreneur who has his thumbs in a lot of different pies." going on to add: "he has a great, infectious energy - so much so that i did say to kim crowther 'you're not going to turn him into a psycho, are you?' she said 'no', so i was pleased! sometimes in soap, characters can be too good to be true, so i think it's time for a hero to waltz in and give the bad guy a run for his money."
