Sonny tries, but gets shot down

I was a bit disappointed that TPTB decided not to re air Friday's final scene between Sonny and Dante, but today's scenes were just as good, just not as chilling.


Sonny was hoping everything was going to be forgiven and forgotten because the truth was out about Dante being his son. Guess again Sonny, Dante ain't having any part of it.


"There is nothing we're going to build," Dante said. "The fact that you're my father means nothing to me."


Dante made a point of calling his new-found father a "low-life gangster" on more than one occasion. Sonny tried to convince Dante they have a connection, but Dante said it makes him sick and he doesn't want anything from his dear old papa. Great line of the conversation was spoken by Dante, "I still have a badge and you're still a criminal."

Sonny was right though, there were times when Dante was being real with Sonny while he was playing the role of Dominic; but of course, Dante had a counter-point, Sonny still pulled the trigger. Does it really matter that Sonny did what he could to save Dante after he knew the truth? Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

Meanwhile, Lulu's in the hallway having it out with Olivia for covering for Sonny and wondering if it was a random mobster or a gang member would Olivia still be covering for them.

Then as if on cue, Lulu barges into Dante's room and stands up for her man. Telling Sonny she doesn't care about him being a family friend. Lulu defended her man by blasting Sonny. At least Lulu apologized to Dante for her outburst and that she can't imagine what he's going through. Seriously, how could anyone know what Dante's going through except for Dante. I mean he's the one that was shot by the man he has hated since he was child only to find out after surgery that that same man is his father.



As Lante cuddled in his hospital bed, Sonny had a slight confrontation with Olivia in the chapel.

I still can't wrap my head around Sonny telling Olivia he never would have shot Dante had he known he was his son and that Dante never would have gone after him had he known Sonny was his father.

It's hard, I feel bad for Sonny because he's reeling from the guilt of shooting his own son, but moments before he found out the truth he was showing absolutely no remorse. So where does the line get drawn?

When Sonny said, "Bless me Father for I have sinned" that was like duh moment, he has sinned for nearly his entire life, there's no shocking moment there. But hearing Sonny pour his heart out to God for what had happened, that's when I start to sympathize with Sonny. Why is it I can sympathize with a mobster that shot his own son, but not a single mother that cheated on her fiance with his brother? Guess I'm a hypocrite, just like about every single character in Port Charles.
