lulu was so sad and I felt sorry for her. Dante’s exit was just too quick

Can Raj come back to Port Charles and finish what he started, drown the insipid Lulu? This storyline was obviously written very quickly and not much thought was put into Dante’s exit storyline. What a disaster.

This is at least as sloppy as the way they wrote Laura out, if not worse. Which would lead a Devil to believe that this was not exactly a long term planned departure, as we have been told. An undercover assignment to catch a long forgotten day player villain? What kind of dragonshit is that?? More evidence that this departure was sudden? Remember that cheesy “Summer Fun” promo that they put out a couple weeks back? Dante & Lulu were shown in that promo. Nelle (who is also leaving) was not. I suspect DZ got screwed over by this regime….… Read more »

This all sucks…just because I hate to see him leave. I wish him well in whatever he does next. But secretly, I hope he returns to GH and they write great stories for his talents.

Horrible rush job. It’s like they made the story up on the fly due to a last minute decision.

Dominic leaving wasn’t surprising… he was simply toooo good for the lame storylines he was given. What was unforgivable on Frank’s part, is not giving Dante a chance to say goodbye
to Olivia, Sonny & Michael.

Yeah, I did pull out my hankie. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. Oh no, not because Dante is leaving. Its because HE ISNT TAKING LULU WITH HIM!

I guess lonely Lulu will have an affair with Chase….im so done with GH…Jason started out interesting only to rehash his old story…should had change him into the doctor he was going to be with very little memory of his bromance with Too Sonny In PC and his momma bear Snarly…soon as Nelle leaves im no longer a viewer…im still watching days!!!…Is Micheal reverse gaslighting Nelle???

It’s obvious the writers were caught off guard by DZ not re-upping his contract. Frank should have at least thrown LilLo in the episode to get one more Falconeri family scene. The fake flashback scene lacked emotion as it was a retake of the scene that originally featured Julie Berman. No memorable scene in the past 4 years featuring Rylan? Sad. The throwaway scene with Sonny and Dante at PCPD the other day felt like a goodbye moment with the hug. So, is Lulu even necessary anymore? In the past few years, her father, mother, stepmother, both brothers and nephew… Read more »

I still think its Luke in that other room…too bad it wasnt Tony Jones or the real Carly-lol

This was so contrived – poorly conceived and poorly written. God bless these talented actors who have to try to sell this material. The show should be embarrassed. Dante didn’t even say goodbye to his own children, let alone his parents! Maybe the person in the room next to Carly at Ferncliff is a talented and creative new head writer who wants to bust out and save this show. Long live GH!

The scene between Dante and Lulu was heartbreaking and well played by both actors. But where’s the goodbye scenes between Dante and his father? His mother? It was all too swift and indicative of how badly the GH vets are treated. Dante deserved better. Oh well, that gives more air time to Frank’s pets.

It was very sad but believable

I agree with dmr and some of the other posts. A rush job to sweep Dante off the canvas while saddling us with Lulu is bad enough. But now we have entire scenes of Peter the Puke hallucinating! Why? Do we need fill time? Meanwhile the goodbye scene showed DZ at his best. If he’d had more in depth scenes like this over the years, maybe he wouldn’t be leaving. Also, LOVING the Drew/Franco friendship. Talk about an embarrassment of riches–two great actors with sex appeal and talent to burn lighting up scenes together. What a treat that was on… Read more »

I hate to say this but sometimes a crappy exit story is the TPTB way of giving the finger to a departing actor for not taking the contract offered them. DZ’s exit reminds me the way Days handled the character Bo’s exit when PR wouldn’t take less money. It was so lame, and the character stayed in limbo for years until eventually they had PR back and wrapped up the character Bo in a more fitting way. Soap writers always have contingency plans for characters should contract negotiations tank or an actor decides not to renew or the show decides… Read more »

Will have to look at the ep on abc.com…. but I’ll take a rush job of saying goodbye and a contrived reason over Dante’s sudden death. But, it’s hilarious that he’s looking into someone trafficking guns. Isn’t that what we’ve suspected Sonny’s business is? Perhaps, then, this is why he didn’t have a scene with Sonny. I’m hand waving it away and looking forward to the recast in the autumn. You know he’ll be back when Lulu starts looking at photos of him and it’s another actor.

Why couldnt this have been a bigger and longer developed story? Robin, Ana, Robert and now Dante have all just turned to their spouses and children and selfishly telling them that they are leaving. For all the “soap heroics” there should be more to the story plotline than “im going so deal with it!” Dante has always been a character written as being MORAL AND ETHICAL but has subverted the law for friends and loved ones (his dad for the most part) and his leaving is another example of how selfish he can be. I mean, did he or the… Read more »

Looks like GH gave him ( Dominick) the bum’s rush, and probably told him not to let the door hit him on the way out! They could have let the poor guy(Dante) say good by to the kids and his mom and Michael, who live in the same house.They left him sitting on the back burner too long, and he got sick of it.Don’t blame him at all for leaving without much notice. Hopefully, they now know what it feels like, when they dump someone, the same way, i.e,Laura.
