‘General Hospital’s’ Dominic Zamprogna Weighs-In on Dante and Elizabeth Pairing and Sharing Scenes with Rebecca Herbst (Exclusive)
- Dominic Zamprogna (Dante Falconeri, General Hospital) talks on a potential on-screen romance with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst).
- The new and exclusive conversation appears in full on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel.
- Zamprogna is uncertain of the the end game between exes, Dante and Lulu, or if a triangle may be ahead for Dante, Elizabeth and her ex, Ric Lansing, with whom the head nurse has been recently dating.
On General Hospital, the current PCPD commissioner Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has been lied to, and kept in the dark, by those he thought he could trust which includes his ex-wife Lulu (Alexa Havins), his own son, Rocco (Finn Carr) and a man he considers a good friend and police partner, “Nathan” West, only Dante doesn’t know that “Nathan” is a fraud, and really his twin brother, Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey)!
The only person, who seems to be a good friend and reliable is ‘General Hospital’ head nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). For months, GH viewers are witnessing key moments when Dante and Elizabeth are there for each other. In fact, she helped Dante realize it was Rocco who shot Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and was willing to help him cover up the crime so his son does not go to prison. Problem is, Rocco took off with Britt Westbourne (Kelly Theibaud) and as of now Dante has no idea where they are.
In a new and exclusive interview out this weekend on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, Dominic Zamprogna chats about the potential pairing of Dante and Elizabeth and the opportunity to work with beloved longtime GH favorite, Rebecca Herbst, and if he thinks when all is said and done, Dante will wind up back with Lulu. Here’s some excerpts from the conversation below.

ELIZABETH HAS PROVEN HERSELF TRUSTWORTHY TO DANTE
Speaking on how Dante feels currently about Elizabeth, Zamprogna explained, “At this point, Elizabeth is the only person, he can trust. She’s the only one who’s essentially told Dante what’s what. But. there’s also this connection for sure beyond that, right? That’s something that we’ve tried to play. We don’t know what the end game is, honestly, as actors, I don’t know what the end game is. You have to assume that every time you’re in a scene with anybody, you’re chemistry testing, and you want to do right by the characters.”
Although Dante’s primary romances have been with Lulu and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), a paring of Dante and Liz has never been approached by the series until now.
“To me, it’s interesting because they’ve never really explored anything between Dante and Elizabeth before. So, it’s all kind of new,” shared Dominic. “That’s the most exciting part of any relationship, the new stuff, before you jump into the domesticated stuff. That’s maybe where Ric (Rick Hearst) and Elizabeth are. They’re kind of more in this domesticated thing, or experiencing that, whereas Dante and Elizabeth truly are kind of needing each other at this moment.”
As Dominic explains it, Dante has found himself needing Elizabeth as his sounding board, since everyone else betrayed him. “Dante definitely needs Elizabeth and has reached out to her. She’s been honest, and provided him with things that he needed (to help cover up that his son, Rocco shot Cullum), explains the five-time Daytime Emmy nominee. “There’s also the other stuff that he’s finding out about her that he didn’t know. Like when she’s in the office with him and she’s talking about her past and the trauma that she’s been through (referring to Elizabeth’s rape).”

COULD THERE BE A DANTE/ELIZABETH/RIC TRIANGLE AHEAD?
Dominic continued with high praise for his co-star, “It’s interesting for me to play, because I don’t know that story of Elizabeth as an actor, because it was before I got to the show. So, it’s two characters finding out more about each other who’ve been in each other’s orbit for 17 years. (As to the potential pairing), I’m happy to hear people are digging it because I dig it. Rebecca is phenomenal, and she plays a legacy character, and to me, one of the best actors on the show.”
With Lulu seemingly falling for “Nathan” and then currently breaking it off, Zamprogna and GH fans are awaiting to see what happens when Lulu finds out that “Nathan” is Cassius, while also finding out if Ric Lansing could be the true spoiler in any potential Liz and Dante budding romance.
“I don’t know what the long game is. I literally have no clue,” shared Zamprogna. “I currently don’t believe that there’s a Dante/Lulu happening. It feels like if they did go down the road of Dante and Ric fighting for Elizabeth, I think that would be interesting to have two guys fighting over her as opposed to two women fighting over Ric and Dante.”

PLANTING THE SEEDS FOR DANTE/ELIZABETH ROMANCE
GH fans will recall the recent scenes where Elizabeth was dressed for her date with Ric, but stopped by Dante’s office at the PCPD first. Dante remarked, in so many words, how beautiful she looked.
Zamprogna hoped that viewers caught it, explaining, “Those are real little moments that I’m always happy or captured. It’s two people who don’t have a romantic relationship, but, planting those little seeds of her coming in and him seeing her out of her scrubs for the first time and being like, ‘Oh my, God You look amazing.” And then as the scene ends, they’re kind of wrapped up in things, and then he is like, ‘I could keep talking to you forever,’ but she has a date to get to with Ric.”

Now, let us know, after checking out Dominic’s thoughts on a potential Dante and Elizabeth pairing? Are you hoping the GH writers put them together, or do you want Liz with Ric? And, do you think the end game will still be Dante and Lulu as the exes still have to come together to find their son, Rocco, who is on the run with Britt? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
I like the new version of Ric and I want to see more of that. And Elizabeth is what makes Ric want to be a better man. I like Dante but I prefer to see him with someone else.
I like Ric a lot too but would like to see him paired with someone new. I have no idea who that could be though.
I don’t feel them as couple. I wish GH would stop throwing characters against the wall to see if they will stick.
Not Lulu, Not Liz, SAM! Bring back Sam!
Sam’s parole from Hell is always on the table. But don’t worry, she’s got an air conditioned condo down here, so she’s doing alright.
Frank has my number. He can call me when he’s ready to make the deal.
Better yet, BRING BACK DEX! He is needed. Sonny has no one to make chicken piccata for, and Joss needs some love in the afternoon.
One shouldn’t hold their breath for either a return by either Sam (only happening if Frank departs – and that’s not under consideration) or Dex (not worth wasting a RFTD).
So, who is the most likely “dead” character to return? No, not Morgan. Not AJ (dead-dead at this point) It’s got to be Spencer.
If one of the two incoming newbies turned out to be amnesiac Spencer that would be as good as him being amnesiac Morgan.
Of course if they brought Spencer back, that would probably also require a Nikolas recast. So they might want to clear out the whole “Legion of Dumb” cast bloat before they open that can of worms.
I like them together. They fit! And yes, I feel they have passed the chemistry test. Two of my favorite characters as a couple? I say yes.
I really like Elizabeth and Dante together. They compliment each other very nicely. Both are honest, trustworthy people. Both are single parents having lost their romantic partners. They truly respect each other. I do like the growth that Ric has shown. But, Elizabeth has been there and done that. I think Elizabeth and Dante are perfect for each other. Maybe put Ric with Lulu.
I want her to ditch Rick and be with dante
I don’t know why no one thought of this before. Hell, I don’t know why I never thought of this before. Dante and Elizabeth are played by two talented, unique, charismatic actors. They’re both so naturally good, they make it look easy. Honestly, there is no one quite like Dante and Lizzy, and I find myself rooting for them both. They’ve both been through hell and back, some of it at the expense of a Spencer, and they deserve some romantic peace. These two together make me smile.
I am sorry, I meant to say,”some of it largely due to a Spencer,” and not at the “expense of a Spencer.” That is a critical error on my part, and one worth correcting.
I like Elizabeth and Dante. There both righteous and enjoy their kids
I think Elizabeth and Dante should be together. Elizabeth should break up with Ric.
Better than Ric
IO want Liz to stay with Ric. Dante should be with lulu or bring Sam back
I don’t want to a Dante Elizabeth hookup. I that Ric should be given a solid opportunity for love with her. I want to see a Sonny Alexis or Sonny Carly hookup. Ethan/Brooklyn hookup. Curtis need to find out soon that he’s a self righteous ass.
I like Liz and Dante as friends. Let them stay that way. We don’t need every male/female relationship to be romantic. The chemistry between the characters of Lulu and Dante is gone. Don’t revisit that. Let Liz finally find happiness with Ric!
Bring Sam back for Dante! Bring back Jason so that he can be happy with Brit, and for once let Carly NOT be first with him. Keep Carly with Valentin. Put Joss with Cassius, and let Chase’s eyes be opened about Willow!!
And lastly, let Portia’s baby be Isaiah’s! Maybe Brad was tampering with her test results!!
I like this scenario, I think it would be perfect
Lulu us nothing like the original…unfortunately. ..dull & boring.
I believe Elizabeth is way better off with Dante, Ric isn’t half the man Dante is! I believe Elizabeth and Dante would make a nice, caring couple together
I like them together. They seem so natural. She looks weird with Rick. Not a fan of Lulu
I live them together. Rick has “Supposedly” changed. But he held Carly in a panic room for months while married to Elizabeth! And didn’t he cause her to lose their baby? I cant believe Elizabeth can just “get over” those things! Rick is a slime ball. Dante is a better match. I want her to be with a good, stable man like Dante!
Looks like the show is going in the direction of Liz and Dante, and that’s fine for their fans. (Not personally one of them) but please no triangle. Just rip the band aid off pair them, and then let Ric move on. What concerns me is while the show keeps putting Dante and Liz together in scenes, they seem to be putting Ric and Alexis together in scenes more and more. I’m not sure about those two.
Nothing new here. Dom thumbs his nose at fans of the Lante pairing in every interview he gives. In my opinion, Dante and Liz will be a boring pairing.
Nope not Dante snd certainly not Ric Elizabeth should be paired with Jason Dante should find someone new or bring Sam back.
I like too see Dante and Liz get together. I rather Sam if they were to being her back.
I think that Elizabeth and Dante would make a great match.They look like they have chemistry..I don’t like her with Rick.
I actually think elizabeth should stay with Ric, And I think if they’re going to have chase , cheat on brooklyn, She should end up with Dante, and it will bring their whole family closer together.Two families that were always best friends , and now they have a son together , it’s kinda perfect
Back with lulu
Danta and Lulu
No no no get a new person for him I like her but he need someone new kept her with Rick
I think Dante and Elizabeth would be the perfect couple
I think Liz and Dante are so so adorable they get each other they both light up when they see each other they both need a break from past loves and let them be happy together I vote and all in with Dante and Liz pairing

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Heartfelt Speech He Had Planned If He Had Won Lead Actor at the Daytime Emmys
Steve Burton (Jason Morgan, General Hospital) gave his own Daytime Emmy post-script on the latest episode of the That’s Awesome podcast that dropped on Sunday, November 1st.
The two-time Daytime Emmy winner and eleven-time nominee had the opportunity to express to the viewers and co-host, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli, General Hospital) how when he hit the red carpet and went into daytime’s biggest night it was important for him to honor the people who helped shaped his journey as an actor and on General Hospital.
As it turned out, Burton lost his bid for his first Lead Actor Emmy when Scott Clifton’s name was called for his performance as Liam Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful, making it a fourth Emmy win for Clifton, who stated his career as Dillon Quartermaine on GH.

LESLIE CHARLESON AND JANE ELLIOT DESERVE THE CREDIT SAYS GH STAR
Before getting into sharing how he would have framed his speech, if he had gotten the opportunity, Steve said he felt deeply about how this nomination is all about the memory of his late co-star, friend, and on-screen mother, Leslie Charleson (Monica Quartermaine).
“A lot of my material was around Leslie Charleson, and her passing, And you know, if I were to win, part of being in the speech was going to be able to give her the love and credit she deserves, and Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine).”
Speaking about Jane, Burton said, “Jane is so inspiring. I love her, and I love working with her, and when you see someone work like this, I hold them in such high regard and have respect for her that I wanted to give her the credit.”
IF YOUR NAME WAS CALLED ….
As Anderson delved a bit more deeply into who Steve would like to have thanked the moment he would have hit the podium, Burton revealed, “The first thing is always glory to God for me. I wouldn’t be anywhere or have all the great things I have in my life if it wasn’t for his grace, to be honest, especially with everything I’ve been through. It’s just been incredible for me.”

Burton added, “I was going to thank the usual people, cast, crew and writers, directors, producers for for all of their hard work obviously. Frank Valentini (executive producer, General Hospital) for everything that he does, not just for me, but for so many people. It’s really incredible.”
Obviously, Michelle (Lundstrom), to have an amazing wife, an amazing partner in life is a game-changer, and I’ll cry about it. Then, to have my girls there was super cool,” an emotional Burton expressed.
Next, Steve revealed he intended to thank two of his co-stars, “Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) for being a big part of my life as a mentor of mine. I definitely wouldn’t be holding an Emmy if I didn’t cross paths with that guy. I just don’t believe it. I think people come into your life for a reason, and he came into my life to make me the actor I am today.”

Steve then wanted to thank another longtime scene partner, Laura Wright (Carly Corinthos). Burton said I wanted to thank, “Laura Wright just for being an incredible scene partner all the time, always showing up, always professional, always willing to work, always willing to make things work, always, always.”
IT STARTED WITH THE CASTING DIRECTOR
Genera Hospital casting director, Mark Teschner who picked up another Emmy this past weekend for Outstanding Casting, was another name on Steve’s “thank you’s” sharing, “Mark Teschner believed I had a chance, and that’s all you need sometimes.”
Steve said he intended to end his speech thanking all the fans of daytime soaps, expressing, “Last, but never least, the fans, because we would not be doing what we do if it was not for our fan base; we know that more than anybody. Not just fans that follow General Hospital, but fans of daytime.” The GH star concluded with, “We are part of your family, and you’re a part of our family, which is super cool.”
You can watch Steve share his experience at the Daytime Emmys in the latest episode of That’s Awesome with Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson below.
Now let us know, what do you think of Steve’s speech and who he would have thanked? It would have been a very emotional moment indeed for him, and his enduring fans. Drop your thoughts in the comment section.
