So, it's APRIL 2nd the anniversary show is on--not the 1st. This is due to all the interruptions we've had, they are still not on track.
Dante says he has to leave. He's not the same. She said she'll come with him. He says: NOPE. He's So so GOOD!! Anyway he wants to go to a specialist to get help away from Port Charles. Lulu asks if he wants a divorce. It's a good scene. VERY choppy though and so much not discussed. WHY not discuss the whip marks and the knife? Discuss debriefing with Robert? Have the discussion at his party with all his family? I tell you what, this was not the way it should have ended. This fast. --There was SO much material there. Geezus.
Jordan gets bad news but doesn't tell Curtis.
Maxie and Peter. Peter is GIANT next to her, no wonder they sit down so much..Brad left Maxie an envelope. They go to tell Nina.
Nina and Val, he brings her flowers. Boring. Sasha is there too. Dr. O comes in, says Maxie and Peter are up to something. Valentine decides to "tell" Nina. I mean, we know he got to Brad so....the results will say Sasha is her's. We'll find out Monday
Ava gets fluids...and is ok. Julian is helping her. Curtis later hacks her phone and tells Ava those were robo call scams, not Ryan. Hmmmm. ya think?
Laura brings Kevin's clothes to him. he said she's the mayor and should come to the arraignment. HE tells her to get a divorce and he won't fight it. She says she doesn't want one.
Later, Carly tells Laura she's pregnant.
Cam in court. Judge is bitchy. Giggle. Trina's there!! WHOOT!! Anyway, the judged caved --prob because Cam's Good Scout looks. He has to finish out his community service and give up his driver's permit.
so, if i had a nickel for every time a guy broke up with me because he had to go "find himself" i'd be retired and living in hawaii...
ReplyDeletei realize we had scenes of him in tuerkey with sonny but... i swear there is another woman. or something. and we dont know what it is and wont find out unles he comes back to the show.
and the whip marks? you sure he was in turkey this whole time and not in vegas?
"David says and the whip marks? you sure he was in turkey this whole time and not in vegas?"
DeleteROFL! Yeah I think he really went to Vegas!! :)
It was obvious that the writers threw together a quick exit for him to "satisfy" the fans who were upset over the even quicker exit the first time. This was supposed to be closure for us. If we ever see Dante again, it will be a recast. I found the goodbye scene between him and Lulu very well done, but the whole 11 days of Dante was totally unnecessary and not related in anyway to any other part of the show. Maybe they will use it as an avenue to bring that Turkish boy to the show. Time will tell.
ReplyDeletePersonally I wish they wouldn't have brought him back. It's just a tease.
DeleteI agree, Michelle. It was an insult to a good actor IMO.
DeleteOscar doesn't look sick at all. So stupid
ReplyDeleteYou should go do his death warmed over makeup LMAO!!
DeleteI miss Dom Zopragna. He is such a great actor. Definitely was not acting the way Dante always acts. Sure do miss him. I still liked him better with Julie Marie Berman though.
ReplyDeleteOff the top of my head I can think of 2 much better exit stories for Dom. (And yes this was just tooooo similar to how JJ/Lucky left the last time.)
ReplyDelete1) Lulu comes home to find a bruised, beaten Dante. He's shaking, crying, afraid. His cover's been blown. He never should have come there to see her but had to be with her one more time to make sure she was safe. She brings in Anna to see what she can do and Anna pulls some strings to get him relocated but says it's not safe to bring the family. Sonny and Olivia come by for teary goodbyes. Lulu plans one last romantic evening, but when she goes to the bedroom for Dante, he's already gone.
2) Dante swaggers back in to town after a successful undercover mission with a big chip on his shoulder and a huge ego. He reconnects with Sonny and they bond over the rush they get from having power, which Sonny finds a little odd. Dante has some nice home cooked meals with Olivia and she notices something is off, he's rude and not such a good son. He isn't interested in Lulu at all. She tries to be romantic but he rebuffs her. He's cold and maybe slightly abusive/dismissive of Rocco. After a few days of this, and people questioning him, he shrugs and says he's too big for this small town and leaves, handing Lulu divorce papers. At the end of the (Friday) episode, we see the bruised and beaten (real!) Dante locked in a cell screaming to "leave his family alone!"
CareyN, liked your first scenario better than the second, as Lulu is not left in the dark. I was so frustrated by their good-bye scene, he should have told her the truth: that he was brainwashed and likely programmed to hurt people, that he was not safe to be around, that Anna found him a place to go for treatment, that she had gone there and gotten better. THAT would have been satisfying. However, as it looks like Dom likely is not coming back, I guess they were trying to have him say a more permanent good-bye. Too sad. Hopefully, though, the actor does decide to return.
DeleteCarrie N, I loved your first suggestion. That would have been much better than what these "paid" writers came up with.
DeleteOh Carey!!! Love the 2nd scenario!! I love the 1st one too, but 2nd is better. :)
Deletelove number one-- would have worked really well. Andre could have been called in as the old WSB psychologist and Robert would have had a big part.
DeleteToday was good. Liked Judge with Cam. Loved the Laura Carly stuff, Carly has really grown up. Easier to like. Dante Lulu stuff was sad. Liked the ugly cry. Wish that Valentin didn't have Brad in his back pocket! Sick of the sl.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I should say this or not, but Dante/Dom looks like he'd be a great kisser. He is doing a great job. Kind of acting like a zombie like Jason. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't Robert and Anna together? Like he said in the scene with Anna and Finn "Bobby is the best". Robert is the one who knows Anna the best. While speaking with Finn it seemed like he still loves her.
ReplyDeleteI loved the scenes with Robert and Finn. Love both actors! 💙💙
DeleteI thought DZ did an outstanding job even though the writing wasn’t worthy of his talent. Really like the friendship of Laura and Carly-Genie just brings that magic to every scene she is in. I’m surprised that they don’t put Maxie in heels when she is with Peter. Sam and Lulu always wear high heels. I think Maxie and Peter are a mismatch anyway. Sad to see Robert gone again.
ReplyDeleteLindaV
Possible Kirsten doesn't want them? I'm 5' and my ex hub was 6'4"....I didn't wear heels when we were together.
DeleteHere is a different scenario for Dante. He hears Sonny say to Jason, we must complete the mission against Shiloh, goes to shot Shiloh and hits Brad instead. Brad fearing he is dying tells the truth about Wiley. Lulu realizes how damaged Dante is and lets him go away, and Willow will be written to bring Shiloh down.
ReplyDeleteJenny! Another great scenario!! :)
DeleteJenny60. I like your scenario
ReplyDeleteThe hospital:
ReplyDeleteJordan: What's wrong Jordan? In pain? Gassy? Constipated?
Maxie and Hiney: Man they are talking too much! SHUT UP or someone might hear you. Oh hi Dr. O! See you two? Told you to shut up. Dr. O wins the line of the day.
Dr. O: You ran a DNA test over a grey hair?
BAHHAHAHAAHHAHA! Yeah Maxie, your excuse is so dumb. Come on now!
Laura and Carly: Awww great family scene. :)
Julian and Ava: Ava still getting the heavy breather!!!!!! Ava you should heavy breath back! :)
Crimson:
ValeNina: Damn it you two! Stop being sparkly!
Sasha and Nina:
Sasha: I am not who you think I am.
As soon as Sasha said that, Nina knows!!!! Subconsciously Nina knows, but she doesn't want to talk about it!!
Metrocourt restaurant:
