I LOVED LD on AW...one of my all time favorite characters! However, on OLTL, her character was pretty pointless from the word go. I think trying to make her this character she played decades before was also a bad choice. She should have been a brand new character that could have been tied into the current canvas better. Rae really had no connections or family on the show.
I agree DZ is doing good work. It's nice to see him getting meaty material again. It's just off.
Sonny was also low key the voice of reason saying when talking about Gio which I don't love lol. And, yes, Dante calling a 15? 16? kid who had a couple of beers reckless at heart is silly. I think most people had a few drinks in high school.
In isolation, the scenes with Jason/Danny were good when he was talking about AJ's drinking problem. If you ignore everything else about what Jason did to AJ it was a good historic throwback.
-- This is maddening. DZ is acting his ass off, but the script is a mess. As you said, if Dante came down hard on Rocco, these outbursts would make some sense. Comparatively, though, Rocco got a pass, and that's just insane. Dante's not only criticizing Danny and Gio, but the people who raised them. It's just nuts.
-- And then Dante goes to his father -- the mob boss killer WHO SHOT DANTE -- to declare Danny "reckless at heart." JFC.
-- Kai was in the hospital for that dislocated shoulder about 3x as long as Sonny was in the hospital for his heart. Make it make sense.
Isn’t it thrilling to get that kind of buzz from a performance again? If this show had nothing else going for it (and it has other real strengths, including the actress opposite her), that would be enough to keep me invested.
