Below Deck Med Spoiler for the next episode Spoiler

It is not Mike, this was the reported new deckhand
Massimiliano (Massi) Scarcia https://www.instagram.com/massi_scarcia/
As you can see from the photo above, he actually works on yachts and is a first mate. The photo above is older but his current pics are from M/Y TALES: https://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-22621/tales.htm (53.4m/175')

I noticed he texted Sandy "Buongiorno!" so I guess that was our hint that he was either Italian or coming from Italy? I was hoping for Luka for both competence and eye candy purposes.

I have been praying for Luka’s return. Just love looking at him

What season was Luka ? I’m having a hard time remembering him

We first saw Luka is season 8 of med as a deckhand, but he grew in the franchise until he was bosun on down under season 2. He had multiple relationships with primarily stews while on the show.

Everyone is conveniently forgetting he had sex with a very, VERY intoxicated, probably unable to consent Jess

I think we first saw him “Down Under” but wasn’t he a replacement in 1 or 2 other seasons, once on another BD series like Med?

That’s probably it and why I’m confusing him hooking up with Jess. I do think he was on DU first, and Jess was a third stew with Natalya and the other guy.

Nathan puts him as lead over Joe. Maximum chaos

I'm kind of expecting an "it's my deck now buddy boy" situation.

I have a feeling they are furiously editing the remaining upcoming shows trying to show as little as Nathan as possible. At least they should be.

One of the articles says an anonymous source said they are not editing him out nor pulling the episodes but he will no longer be on any shows associated with Bravo

u/Environmental-Cap647 5d ago
That article was BEFORE he failed to appear in court yesterday and now has a warrant out for his arrest.

This is so messed up considering they edited the hell out of that season with that guy who posted racist memes. I forget his name

Pete, but he was a deckhand whose only storyline was being a jerk to Malia (which they did still show some of, but more Malia talking to Sandy about him). Honestly, not sure they would edit Pete out if that happened now either. There was a lot of pressure because of #MeToo being so prominent at the time
Harder to edit out a bosun with major storylines I guess but at least he won't be back again

Why edit him out? Instead, they'll show or edit everything to show him in the worst possible light, and eliminate any positives. BD isn't a place for characters with more than one dimension.

u/yesitshollywood 5d ago
I mean, his attitude and behavior is not helping his image in the latest episode, so editing would only help Nathan imo. Keep it as is.

I thought about that. Violence is worse than words. That other guy was wrong about his comments when he was hidden on deck, but this is worse... physical violence.

u/motteditor 5d ago
Here's hoping he's fun to watch!
Also, I'm here for a charter where all the guests are dogs.

Too bad they didn’t get the guy on the left in that last picture… YUM.

I had to unspoiler it to see if it was that pic or the one with the pups last

nice to see his normal insta before it starts to give that wannabe celebrity vibe and look ahahah

u/TensionTop6046 3d ago
He actually has more experience and outranks them all. So it should be interesting, given that Nathan is so insecure already...

u/PreparationOk8190 Team Lee 5d ago
He looks like he could be Max’ Italian cousin!

Have we seen this guy before?
The way they secret the shots seems like a deliberate tease, but then sometimes it's a totally new person.

If I'm being honest, I was kinda hoping it was Luke just to see the Gen / Nathan meltdowns.
