Daphne isn't as bad as people make her out to be

Yes Daphne yelled at Angelo at the party-she was jealous if Abby & the fact that Angelo was sticking around for his new -third daughter-but didn't for her.Angelo didn't come back for Bay or to get to know her,he came back for Regina& Daphne to make amends,rekindle the flame with Regina ect.Daphne spent more time with Angelo especially in the episodes before his death-them making cake,them making dinner,Daohne bring the first& only one to find out that his restraint was belly up,he loved I with her & Regina.Bay barely knew or interacted with Angelo& admitted as much in his death episodes so why would she be devasated that he died when she barely knew him& confessed she didn't make time/effort for him?Just because Daphne & Angelo didn't share DNA means nothing as in some cases ,step parents,fosters parents ,adaptive parent can be closer to kids than the kids are to Thier birth parents.Yes Daohne was mad at Sngelo stfirstfor leaving her & Regina but she forgave him.Evfn when Angelo,Bay,Regina lived in the new house he had built,Angelo & Bay weren't close.I think that Bay & Daphne have two moms,two dad even though two of the parents aren't biological.Daphne was upset when Angelo died cause they were just getting close,sgpharing a love & talent for cooking.Daphne asked Angelo to move in to keepRehpgina safe-why would she do that if she didn't are about him,was still mad at him,didn't trust him ect?Angelo leaving when she was three gave Daohne daddy &abondonment issues.-she was hurt,mad cause she lived him,thought of him as her father,

I agree 100% that Bay barely knew or interacted with Angelo. She shared nothing with the man other than a biological connection that was never explored. You are absolutely right about that.

But I disagree with your presumption that Daphne did share something with Angelo. They made dinner together one night, and they baked one cake together a few weeks later. That's it. That's all they shared.

Daphne did not ask Angelo to move to the guest house, because she cared about him. She did it because she feared for her mother's life. Nacho had thrown a brick through the window at her business. Daphne did not have a lot of options, and Angelo was her mother's best protection. Plus, Angelo was married to her mother. I think Daphne had finally started feeling guilty for separating the married couple, as she should.

At least Angelo went to the movies and to restaurants with Bay. He chaperoned Bay's Valentine's Day party. He spoke for Bay at the honor board. They may not have had a father daughter relationship, but he shared a lot more with Bay than he did with Daphne.

And as Bay says in "The Homecoming" about Angelo: "He just waltzes in without warning, tells me he's here for 72 hours and then just expects me to drop everything and get to know him, risk pissing off Daphne and my parents. Ha ha, all three of them. I want to be mad, but I'm not. He's never done anything to me. How do I know what's true unless I hear what he has to say?"

Angelo was there for one reason and for one reason only, to get to know Bay. Yes, he eventually was excited to put things back together with Regina, and he had hopes for his relationship with Daphne. That's true. But Daphne had no memory of him being her father.

I still don't understand why Daphne claimed to be so upset about a man that she never really knew. When Angelo died, I think Daphne was really upset that she never had a father at all.
