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 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.

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks 
    • I genuinely thought when they said she had been throwing up, we were going to get a pregnancy story. I’m actually not convinced we aren’t. Especially the way she and Doug danced around her own infidelity.
    • Shouldn't it be the other way? I don't think Taylor Hayes is playing Rebecca Budig.

    • And the most detailed discussion I've seen from an industry figure about some of JFP's worst choices as a producer (steamrolling over writers) was from another woman, Megan McTavish.
    • IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood. I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications. So it must have been within those last 3-4 months. I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

    • Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).  Even though Linda Thorson would have been a hysterical choice given her British accent.  Especially because SOD often published questions by readers who wondered why Tad and Jenny didn't speak like their mother.   All of which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted. 
    • And if I remember correctly, at one point, they were considering having Linda Thorson play Opal's sister.
    • Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th.  It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.   ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline. 
    • Well, they were both involved with Ray Gardner.  Then, the actress left in 1980, only to return as a somewhat broader interpretation of the character after Dottie was SORASed.  By that time, Opal had left in 1983.  So, while they serve the same story function,(verbally abusive/neglectful mothers who make you feel sorry for their daughters), one could argue that Edna was the carbon copy.
