Dominic Zamprogna Reveals He’s Ready to Come Home to General Hospital

GH’s Dante Falconeri has been off the canvas in Port Charles since he last returned very troubled. It was then he asked Lulu (Emme Rylan) for a divorce and was headed out of town to get help for a horrific case of PTSD which began when he was in Turkey on a mission.

The actor who had portrayed Dante for all he is worth and then some is multi-Daytime Emmy nominee, Dominic Zamprogna. Now, in a interview with ABC Soaps In Depth, he reveals he is ready to return to GH on-contract!

Zamprogna shared: “Frank (Valentini, EP General Hospital) knows I am ready to come home. I’d be totally open to a contract. There’s so much potential with the character and the story right now. With everything they’ve done since Dante’s been gone, there are so many options, and they’d all be fun to play.”

In a very candid moment, Dominic shared it was last September that he felt the urge to come back to the ABC daytime drama series, and even shared an emotional call with his on-screen father, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) about coming home.

Currently in story, Lulu has been seeing Dustin played by Mark Lawson, which could set up a triangle, if Zamprogna were to return to GH.

So, would you love to see Dominic back on GH full-time? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

I never cared for Dante character.
why?
because of (hard to tolerate) Lulu.
Lulu is a stomach turner.
If he were to return to GH, I’d have need to FF him
when he’s with Lulu..
eeezzz Lulu is beyond annoying..

I have not missed the Dante character, didn’t notice he’s gone.

If he returns, I’m good with that
but-
if he’s involved with Lulu and brings her upfront, then
Don’t return- stay away..

This version of Lulu is nauseating. Horrible.

I remember a step in for Lulu..
I don’t know her name, but I liked her, she was very good;
I want her back.
She was a great relief from the Emmy Lulu..
I was sorry to see her leave when Emme returned..
I read- not many fans like Lulu, this Lulu..

When Lulu and Maxie get together its like watching
two really annoying valley girls..
I waited for Lulu to giggle a loud ”awesome sauce!!”
EEEESSSSHHHH!

Guest

SZima

Yes, bring Dom back! And while they’re at it, bring Julie Marie Bergman back as Lulu!
I’ve never cared for Emme as Lulu. (Nothing against Emme, I just don’t like her Lulu and the friendship with Maxie isn’t the same either!)

Guest

DMRR

Agreed!

Guest

Kevin C

I agree with you 100% on all that you said SZima.

So, he’s been wanting to come back for more than 6 months but no one offered him to? Of course, we want him back!

Agreed that DZ is a really good actor. Dante should be brought back if they have a long term story arc for him. Dante was just gliding along he last few years on the show as the writers couldn’t seem to figure out what to do with him. Mostly police-related scenes, which we have Chase (and occasionally Mac) for. As they’ve dropped the potential Josslyn crush storyline with Dustin, the only connection for him, other than Lulu is Brook Lynn. He could easily be written out in one episode (a direction the show should consider for a few characters once… Read more »

Thank all that’s unholy. Bring Dante home whenever GH starts taping again. If they could bring the real Lulu back it would be even better, of course. And maybe once Dante comes back, they can finally reveal that Charlotte came from the same batch of embryos that Rocco did, and Val the Bastard was never her father. They already dropped enough hints that this was the case, but never followed up on it, as it wouldn’t have really served any purpose with Dante AWOL. I suspect Dante’s return to Port Charles will come with the sad passing of his grandfather,… Read more »

Thing is; Dante has an Extreme case of Complex PTSD (C-PTSD. It is curable.. it is manageable with ‘meds’ and life long treatment/like AA.. Dante could never be a police detective again, never.. He should not even be involved in the lifestyle of the Corinthos/Sonny.. In other words; unless he is portrayed as an actual C-PTSD/ the real deal high-level C-PSTD, Dante will be a joke. He will be living with a shadow within him and without constant care, he will go static. bwaa remember when ”Dylan” had PTSD? that was beyond phoney ((much like Sharon’s 90% family pampering cancer… Read more »

Great actor. It would be nice to have him back. I don’t want him with Lulu, my least favotite character on gh and that’s saying a lot!

Guest

Verna Mello

We will love to have you back looking forward to your return

Guest

Evelyn Heritage

Yes please bring him back. He’s a good actor. We miss him.

Guest

Rodd

I would really love to see Dominick back as Dante! The sooner, the better.

Guest

Cathy

YES!!!!!!!!

Guest

SZima

What about if/when Dante returns, Lulu stays with Dustin and Dante and Maxie hook up after the bastard Peter is finally outed for all he’s done?
Just a thought…I really don’t want Dante with Lulu anymore. She seems more suited to Dustin.

Guest

Gloria

OMG-get your butt home. Let Dustin hook up with Brook Lynn. Dante is needed & missed so much.

Guest

Lidia Marques

Yes, yes,Dante, come home

Guest

I loved when Dante was on GH. If he returns I hope the writers give him a great story line so that he can show the great acting chops he has!!!

GH’s Kirsten Storms Shares More Details on Her Brain Surgery and Recovery

June 7, 2021

On Sunday, Kirsten Storms (Maxie, General Hospital) posted a follow-up message on her Instagram account to her friends and followers on how she is doing following her brain surgery, and to answer any questions that may be out on there; so she decided to share further details.

Storms expressed: “First, thank you for all of the well wishes I’ve received over the last few days. 🥰 Little bit of info for those who are wondering.. I spent the last few years having random health issues that I disregarded as side affects to my medications or just something I was experiencing due to age. When I went to get an MRI for some severe neck pain I have been experiencing for the last few months (I assumed this neck pain was also causing my frequent “migraines”) my amazingly thorough orthopedist ordered an MRI of my head just to be on the “safe side” – even though that isn’t his area of expertise. Truly a great doctor. That’s when we stumbled upon a rather large, very full of fluid, cyst that was attached to the lower portion of brain. I feel very fortunate that my situation wasn’t more serious and that I had a wonderful neurosurgeon who immediately knew how to fix it. I’m not gonna lie, brain surgery had me nervous, but I’m immensely thankful to my family, friends, and incredible “work family” who have been supportive, kind and loving during a time when I’ve been feeling a lot of emotions. Work is a great place to be everyday and for the 2 months leading up to my surgery I found a lot of comfort being around the people I’ve worked beside for so many years. I’m excited to get back to it after my recovery. (Yes, they shaved a portion of my head, so please no comments if you don’t like my hair. It’s temporary.). Again, thank you to everyone for sending positive vibes my way. It’s not gone unnoticed. ♥️

Fun fact: I now firmly believe the new plates in my brain will give me some sort of special ability. Fingers crossed I can suddenly knit a sweater in 1 day. Ooo maybe 1 hour. 😮”

Please continue to send well-wishes to Kirsten via the comment section below as she is on the mend, and we look forward to her return to GH when she is recovered.
