Oh lord, Michael is pretending he's intimidating. Look at him strolling into the Savoy like he's Mr. Badass. This should be fun

Sam's dress is hideous. Glad GH is trying new pairings but Sante are as boring as a potential pairing as they are as individuals.

While I appreciate that Dante has  lightened up lately, I still doze off  when Saminex is on.

Have Sam and Dante discussed her relationship with his father? Isn't that a bit awkward? I know it's a soap, but she bore the man's child and its death haunted her for years.

I don't think they have, but I could have missed it.  To be fair, it's rarely mentioned by anyone these days.  When you think about they are completely awkward because they share multiple siblings as well (Kristina, Leo).  They are really more creepy then the time they tried to pair Brenda/Dante, but Sam doesn't have any feelings for Sonny and it was a lifetime ago in soaps.

I may be in the minority, but I like them.   They aren't setting the world on fire with chemistry, but I think they are cute.  I may just be happy for anything that is not Jasam though.

I haven't seen enough of them - they  seem alright here, and I have generally liked Sam more than most (although Kelly Monaco seems to be...not having the greatest last few years...). It just sticks in my  head when I think of them together. 

So whatever happened with Dante and Lulu anyway?

No it's weird.  I get it.  You are not wrong. Just like I am super creeped out Alexis/Sam both had Sonny's children.  I am just not sure if the show wants to bring it up, but I assume Dante is aware at least.   I have never liked Sam at all, although I loved Dante when he first appeared, but it feels like both characters have been mopey for years.  I hope this changes it.   Neither Dante nor Sam have a ton of options right now lol.

Lulu is in a coma due to a mob bombing, IIRC. In a facility out of state. I believe her would-be post-Dante suitor, a teacher played by Mark Lawson, also died in the bomb? DZ came back before Rylan was fired/quit - Dante was in a psychiatric facility trying to undo some sort of supervillain brainwashing for awhile - and I believe Lulu was prepared to go back to him or had gone back to him before the bombing.

DZ and Kelly Monaco is a pairing on paper I think could work, but everything I have seen of them together is written and presented in the most grating way possible - from the embarrassing sports outfits and company baseball game shenanigans to her constantly yowling and the terrible face work she's had done making her look very old. If they had actual adventures like in her very, very early days and didn't base everything around her showing out like she's still 25 and a rebel, I might be a little more into it. You know things are rough when Rebecca Herbst propping up Easton #4 is a more appealing pairing.

I was excited about Sam/Dante at first (which surprised me, as they are both played by low-key actors) but like most promising pairings or stories, GH effed it up. I’m feeling pretty bored by them now. 

[DRW50]

Thanks. 

Mark Lawson never  gets a break.

Lulu is one of those characters we were meant to like, but I never did (I think she  peaked when she was the kid who never, ever spoke). I don't think she's missed.

[Vee]

I think that part was just to give him some work, though he is not acting full-time now AFAIK. I don't think it was ever going to lead that far.

I think Lulu should be around for Laura but they've completely botched the character for at least a decade.

I LOVED Mark Lawson!!! There were so many avenues uncharted with Dustin.

[AlexElizabeth]

I really thought they were going to have Josslyn crushing on Dustin, but they totally dropped that.

And I agree that Sam and Dante are pretty "incestuous" but it doesn't bug me. But it is a bit odd that they have siblings in common, lol.

What was the fallout from Sam hooking up with Sonny's son?
