Dante will join Sonny’s organization. [Speculation]

[Cicero]

Now that DZ is back I predict Dante will get involved with his father’s criminal organization at some point. His personality will be much darker because of his ordeal in Turkey, and his subsequent struggle with PTSD. Dante was forced to cross the line in Turkey and can’t find his way back. Sonny will not actively recruit him, but he won’t prevent Dante from getting involved like he did Michael. Sonny remembers Dante when he was Dominic, his first undercover persona.

[Big Cheddar1]

I don't see Dante going right back to the PCPD, or if he did, he would have trouble adjusting somehow. Part of me wonders if he might first get sucked into the Cyrus vs Sonny drama by going to work for Sonny, after he hears about the attempts on their lives. Or maybe he works with Spinelli and Robert to take down Peter, since he promised Nathan to always take care of James and Maxie. Or maybe he does both!

[Ribbonette]

I could see that, but I really hope not. I hope Dante is kept on the right side of the law.

[chebbo]

Suffering with PTSD is a disability. Maybe he does not work for anybody when he gets back. Being anywhere around danger could be a problem for him. I wonder if the WSB pays worker's comp disability claims?

[LovingLiz]

Uh except he didn't have PTSD, that was a LIE he told Lulu and his family on why he had to go to treatment, he went because (as he noted to Anna when eh went to her for help) they had messed with his mind and as he noted something was wrong and he felt he was a danger because of what ever the WSB did to his mind.
Dante ties into the mind mapping storyline, which they are FINALLY seeming to be heading toward this stupid drug out story's conclusion.

[msan1025]

I really hope not. I'm so sick of Sonny and the mob storylines. I think he was pretty boring as a cop so I'm cool if they don't put him back on the police force. I definitely don't want to see him back with Lulu either. I was really bored with them when JMB left the role.

[Ribbonette]

I agree with this, almost. I'd rather he not come back at all if he's going to the mob. I liked him with Lulu. But she's become screechy and I just can't see that working.

[WalnutGirl]

Emma is OK as Lulu, IMO.

[msan1025]

WalnutGirl I like ER as Lulu, but when she took over the role, her personality was so different from JMB that the character completely changed for me. ER's Lulu seems more like a delicate flower than JMB's Lulu who would hustle Dante at a pool table.

[stopthefall]

Good heavens, no no no. Don’t do that to the character of Dante. He already had an asterisk as far as I was concerned because of letting his mon boss daddy off the hook and then the way he treated Lulu when he cheated on her. This will be the final straw.

[sppa125]

Not only did Dante PTSD, but wasn't he also brainwashed? And that's partly why he shot Peter? It wouldn't surprise me if somehow Cyrus got his hands on him and has him go after Sonny.

[LovingLiz]

Actually he never had PTSD, that was the cover story he gave to explain going back to the WSB. He confided to (don't remember it was either Anna or Robert) that they brain washed him and he couldn't control his actions and was afraid he would harm his family as a result. So no PTSD, just brain washing or mind mapping, take your pick. But we are in the middle of a huge mind mapping storyline that includes most the characters in one way or another.

[samson2]

Yay, I would love it! Nice change.

[deniseisra]

I wouldn't mind this. I loved when Dante was an undercover cop and even his role as the mob boss in the Sonny What If episode.

[Cicero]

I forgot about that episode when he was a mob boss. Yes, that’s the direction the writers should go with his character.

[jaxijoy]

DZ is back?! I'm behind.
Idk where he fits now Yet I too can see him taking over from pops
I actually think DZ would bring something very different to the organization. I wont mind whatever...as long as he aint tied to (this) Lulu.
msan1025 that makes 2 of us!

[GHfan420]

Sonny is a "coffee importer" now. What is he going to do run the warehouse? A man of his skill , taking orders and loading trucks. It be a downgrade surely.

[heddalee]

I think this story only works if Cyrus shoots Dante in the chest because he's assassinating Sonny's thugs, and Olivia comes in screaming, "You just shot your own son!" (she knew about the shooting because of one of her premonitions), and we find out that Cyrus really is Dante's biopappy. (Cyrus also grew up in Bensonhurst. The neighborhood is like finishing school for wanna-be junior mobsters.)


In future storylines, we find out that Dante: is actually a mass hallucination, and never existed; is actually Duke's son; was switched at birth with Brad; is an alligator. (Each reveal will include a scene of Olivia yelling, You just shot your own son!"

[Harleygirl38]

Yout have a vivid imagination I must say.

[eileenregina]

I think Olivia would have a stroke if Dante joined the mob. It would put her son back in danger, this time on the wrong side of the law.

[CassadineSon]

I’m probably in the minority but I don’t see a need for him to come back. Especially if he is just gonna be Jason - lite. Not needed.

Plus Lulu is a much better character with her new guy. Far less annoying.

[Ribbonette]

I'm with you. Frankly, I was never a huge Dante fan anyway, especially after he got cozy with Sonny, so I'm good if he never comes back.

[Chabby lover]

I love that he is coming back and I hope they get Lulu and Dante back together they are perfect for each other and soulmates. No thank you to Dante ever joining the mob at all. Dante was a good guy and I would love for him to stay a good guy on the right side of the law. I don't want him to change to become Sonny's lackey.

[JOHNNYLOVER]

I want Lulu and Dante back together too
