General Hospital Spoilers: Did Dominic Zamprogna Deserve More Fanfare With Dante’s Exit?

Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) bidded farewell to Port Charles last week to join the WSB. Were you happy with his exit or should it have been more?

Dante Came To Town To Take Down Sonny

When he joined General Hospital, Dante’s entrance was exciting. Dante came in as a Zacchara lieutenant and immediately approached Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) family. Dante worked his way into a position of trust and joined Sonny’s organization.

Dante and Jason (Steve Burton) worked side by side for months and frankly some Sonny fans hated him. Sonny liked him enough to consider letting him have the business when he retired. The knowledge of Dante’s real plan made him a loved and hated character, but he wasn’t boring.

Sonny Shooting Dante Was Exciting

Sonny and Jason figured out Dante’s plan and planned his demise. Dante figured out what was happening and confronted Sonny and was shot. Sonny found out Dante was his son and stood by him.

Yes, fans were frustrated at the way it played out but there was still excited. Fans hated Dante further when he got Michael (Chad Duell) sent to prison where he was raped. Some fans still hold this against Dante but still care about the character.

Dante and Sonny Formed A Relationship

Eventually Dante and Sonny became father and son and we enjoyed the relationship. Dante was under scrutiny a lot over his relationship with Sonny. Dante helped Sonny when he could but remained loyal to his badge.

Even when Sonny was paralyzed, Dante was there for him and Carly as well as the rest of the family. Fans loved seeing Dante torn between wanting revenge and staying within the law. Dante and Sonny had a dynamic relationship on GH and offscreen.

Dante’s Exit Fell Rather Flat

Sonny and Dante had a short scene at the PCPD, nothing more. Dante and Lulu (Emme Rylan) have a longer scene but he just announces he’s leaving. There has not been one conversation about joining the WSB before this. The arms dealer has not been mentioned for two years.

Dante just swore to protect Michael from Nelle (Chloe Lanier) because he doesn’t trust Chase and five minutes later he’s gone? How does this exit make sense? Dante should have gotten a goodbye with Sonny. Dante should have gotten to warn Michael away from Nelle.

The whole WSB story should have been talked about since Robert was in town.   What cop is pulled into an International Spy Group with no conversation or anything. Where was the excitement? Honestly, Nelle shooting Dante would have been a better exit than this.

As always, more detailed spoilers and a full collection of pictures for the week in question will appear here on Soap Opera Spy, where there will be more clues and hints over exactly what’s going on.

General Hospital airs weekdays on the ABC network.
