Lulu's Awakening Sparks Shock
In the December 2nd episode of General Hospital, viewers were taken aback by a pivotal moment: Dante's (Dominic Zamprogna) reaction when Lulu (Alexa Havins), after four years in a coma, wakes up. Surprisingly, Dante doesn't hug Lulu. His lack of embrace has left fans wondering why he reacted this way. Let's break it down:
A Ghost from the Past:
After being apart for so long, and being divorced before the bombing, it's understandable that Dante would be overwhelmed and unsure how to react to Lulu’s sudden return. She’s not the same woman he remembers, and in his mind, she’s been gone for years. Dante was shocked and stunned—he’d just lost Sam (Kelly Monaco), the woman he loved, to a heroic sacrifice. This loss affected him deeply, and Lulu’s return MAY complicate those emotions.
Resentment & Bittersweet Realities:
Dante didn't look excited to see Lulu; in fact, he seemed almost resentful. Perhaps it’s the lingering feelings over the past and how things ended with Lulu, as well as the guilt and sadness over Sam’s death. If Sam were still alive, Dante’s reaction may have been different, but the weight of his grief is understandably clouding his ability to fully embrace this moment with Lulu.
Rocco’s Joy vs. Danny’s Tears:
While Rocco (Finn Carr) joyfully celebrates his mom’s return, it’s a bittersweet reunion for Dante. Danny’s ( Asher Antonyzyn) reaction is heartbreaking—watching the family reunion with tears in his eyes, feeling the pain of losing his mother, who was healthy before the surgery that saved Lulu. It’s a tough moment for everyone involved, as the joy of Lulu’s return contrasts with the sorrow and trauma that has shaped Dante’s recent experiences.
Dante's Acting:
As always, Dominic Zamprogna (Dante) delivers a powerful, nuanced performance, showing the complexity of his emotions. His portrayal of a man struggling with grief and confusion after such an intense loss is incredibly relatable, and he captured the exact reaction someone in his position might have. This semi-reunion—if we can call it that—feels like a moment of emotional turmoil rather than pure joy. We can't blame Dante for being confused and conflicted about Lulu’s return after everything he’s been through.
What did you think about Dante's reaction to Lulu? Does his lack of excitement make sense to you, or were you hoping for a more emotional embrace?
