It would be a great injustice to Dante’s character if they were
to hog tie him too Val-Trollop, what a waste. Where’s Mama
Olivia she’ll beat some sense into her boy!

Valerie and Dante aren’t rootable, actually Valerie is nothing but a plot point to make Dante cheat. How can I root for them when she manipulated the situation in her favor? She is the homewrecker and so they have no rootable factor. Emme and Dom knocked it out of the park yesterday and as someone who has invested 6 years in this couple I’m glad they’re actually getting a front burner story too bad it comes at the cost of Dante’s character and everything Lulu and Dante stood for. And even with that said I’m still rooting for Lulu and Dante because that’s the only pairing that’s rootable here.

Valerie and Dante have no chemistry and they should not become a couple. I agree with a lot of the comments above. This story made Dante look really stupid and that was unfair. I think the writers could have tested Lulu and Dante just as well with the story of Lulu running off to help Lucky and her mom and dad, without having Dante sleep with Valerie. When Valerie started on the show I liked her well enough. They did her no favors though by making her a homewrecker. She has no rooting value now and the only thing left for her is to turn up pregnant. Which of course will happen. UGH!

From the moment Valerie came to town, I figured this was the road they were going down with her, which frustrates me. Valerie is a SPENCER, but she acts like a fifth grader with a crush when she talks about Dante. And on top of that, she’s a snake slithering her way into the bed of a man married to her cousin! Who does that? Sure, Brooke Logan likes to sleep through families, but Valerie had boatloads of potential, especially given that powerful entrance she had right at the climax of the Fluke story, and THIS is what they decide to do with her?

Let alone the fact that Brytni Sarpi is a horrible actress (worse than Ryan Paevey is, IMO, and that says A LOT), and has no chemistry at all with Dante. Seriously, if this is how they intend to carry out the story, they need to recast ASAP. But I don’t even want to see another actress in the part, because Valerie is being written as a plot device, not an actual character. On today’s show, she told Jordan (who she’s known for about five minutes) that she HOPES Dante and Lulu’s marriage falls apart because she wants him for herself! She could care less about their years of happiness, that started way before anyone even knew Valerie existed.

Now, that isn’t to say that Dante is innocent in all of this. He’s supposed to be smart and honest, but the minute there’s even an inkling of Lulu cheating on him (with no real proof, nonetheless) he hops in bed with someone he’s known for three or four months? And even if Lulu was cheating on him and he knew that for a fact, does that make it okay for him to sleep with someone else just to get back at her? No way! Talk about lack of trust.

Speaking of trust, Lulu should trust Dante enough to tell him the truth so she didn’t have to lie to him. Lies destroy relationships, and even though Lulu lying didn’t force Dante to sleep with Valerie, it pushed him towards someone else because he thought his wife was having an affair. No, that wasn’t right of him, but Lulu lied directly to him.

Then there’s Dillon, who I dislike the least out of everyone invloved in this mess. He’s been on the show less than a month and already, they’re pushing Lulu and Dillon back together. We all know that eventually, they will end up together after Lulu learns the truth (probably from Valerie who will gloat about it so she can have Dante for herself) and Junior Q will be waiting on the sidelines.

It’s all so predictable, anyone who saw the way Valerie looked at Dante knew this was coming from a mile away – including Lulu. Watch, Valerie will end up pregnant because of hers and Dante’s tryst, and that’s how the truth will come out.

The only bright spot of this story is Dominic Z and Emme Rylan’s acting, which has been stellar. Finally we get to see some stronger work from Dom. But even the acting isn’t enough of a saving grace for the hot mess that this story is. Poorly written, flimsy reasoning, and out-of-character actions do not a good story make.

I actually felt bad for Dante when he realized that Lulu hadn’t cheated on him. Valerie , I detest! I have since she arrived in PC and she really has no real reason to be there. She doesn’t interact with any “family” it is just poorly written and she is horrible. In actuality Lulu and Dante are the only married couple on the show right now (besides Rick and Nina LOL). Why can’t GH have a normal married couple on the show? I also predict a psycho to come out of Valerie but I’d prefer her to go home. I say this all the time, but there are too many characters on this show and the stories are mediocre. This will take until Christmas to play out…

I think Dante cheating on Lulu is a not believable stroyline bc Dante was always portrayed as a good loyal guy, as opposed to when Patrick cheated on Robin, as upsetting as that was it was believable bc Patrick used to be the player that got his way around, as Dante was just never that guy.

Considering how out of character this story is, Mr. Zamprogna more than delivered this convoluted material, having his D running the gauntlet of anger, disappointment and hurt. Most impressive (and at the same time heartbreaking) was watching the dawning realization of what he’d done upon learning the truth of Ethan and Lucky’s kidnapping. One could almost feel the blood draining from his face. seeing the subtle change in his expression as he’s hit with the ramifications of his infidelity. No words, but that moment spoke volumes. This actor is underrated and under appreciated by this regime and I’m very glad that he has been brought to the forefront, despite the contrived and rushed nature of this story. It does, however, give him a chance to stretch his character into territory that, until now, has been, off limits. It may not be pleasant, but I’m quite content that as an artist he can use this to grow, push the boundries, and explore a side of his character that hasn’t been mined. It can only make him better to add more layers and depth to D. The recast L is just that: a recast. She has never moved me nor does she evoke sympathy, being little more than a miscast, generic, blonde prom queen type. She has never been L to me. But that’s just my view…..

This is such elementary, jeuvenile, paint by numbers soap writing. This is just a painful example of how devoid of creativity soap writers are. They bring on this Valerie. We know NOTHING about this person other than she is very unstable and lacks chemistry with everyone on the canvas. Why Dante would even spend time with this person is a mystery, let alone holding her hand, and hugging her constantly at awkward and inopportune times. I am still waiting for ANYONE to make the comment “Hey Val. Your whole family is white and blonde. Youre not. Lets discuss!” As of now, Ron has NO idea who her father is. He is biding his time until he can plan a way to cement her ties tothe canvas more solidly. Character development is sadly non existent on GH.
