Angelo's Death
Why was Daphne so upset about his death? She hated him for most of the series. Also why did she blame Regina as if she literally killed him.
shareAngelo still was Daphnes` dad. He abandoned her and they were just starting to get close again. I really understand why that hurt Daphne so hard. She was starting to get back dad she had missed her whole life only to loose him again.
shareI don't get it.
I would have "gotten" it, if Angelo was biologically Daphne's dad, but he wasn't. The only thing that makes Regina Daphne's mom is that Regina is the person who raised Daphne. Angelo did not do that, and he has no biological connection to Daphne, so Angelo is NOT Daphne's dad.
At best, Angelo is the person who would have been Daphne's dad, if Regina had not kicked him out of her home when Daphne was a baby.
I don't think Daphne was grieving Angelo's loss at all. I don't think Daphne had time to develop any sincere feelings for Angelo, the man.
She resented him for the first few years, and then, she had a few good weeks with him, before he died. I think her grief was over the realization that she never had a father growing up. You would think that would have made Daphne cling to John Kennish, but for some reason it did not. Instead, Daphne decided to take out her grief over never having a father on Regina.
I guess, because Regina is the one who kept the secret about Daphne being the Kennish's biological child, and because Regina hid all of Angelo's letters to Daphne and kept him from seeing her while she was growing up, that Daphne has a lot of hostility and anger towards Regina.
I know Daphne seems to have snapped out of her snit, ever since the parents found her crying at the tree where Angelo's car crashed, but I still don't believe Daphne has worked through all of her anger and resentment towards Regina.
He did raise her 3 years as his own. So it makes him her dad and add to that Daphne thought 16 years that he is her biological dad.
shareBut I do agree that there was also issues with switch.
shareAlso Regina didn't kick him out..he left thinking she had an affair cuz Daphne wasn't his.

Did you miss the episode with all of the flashbacks? It's the same episode where Angelo dies.
Here are Angelo & Regina's exact words, when Daphne was a baby:
Angelo: I just want the truth.
Regina: Go home, pack your stuff, and get out! We'll be better off without you.
And Angelo & Regina discuss his departure in detail, in the first episode in which Angelo ever appears:
Angelo: I told you I didn't care if you slept with someone else, I just wanted to know the truth.
Regina: I was telling you the truth.
Angelo: Look at it from my point of view. You pushed me out.
Regina: What?! No, I didn't.
Angelo: You said, "If you don't trust me, then just go." You didn't give me any choice.
From both episodes, it was painfully clear that Regina kicked Angelo out of their home, because he did not believe she was telling the truth. Angelo even goes on to say that he tried to keep in touch with Daphne by sending cards, letters, and packages, and Regina hid them from Daphne and never gave them to her. Regina said to Angelo, "By the time you tried, she'd already forgotten about you. It was just easier."
Bay reminds me of Regina.
When Emmett told Bay, "It doesn't have to be forever. Maybe in a few years...," Bay told Emmett, "You do this now, it's done. It's forever."
In my mind, that's a whole lot like Regina's "Go home, pack your stuff, and get out! We'll be better off without you."
Both women are quick to cut their noses off to spite their faces.
Luckily, Bay has some of Kathryn in her, too, through her upbringing, and therefore, I believe Bay is more forgiving than Regina.
The fiery temper may be an inherited trait, but Bay's got Kathryn's kindness and Angelo's warmth. Regina doesn't have that. share
Oh yaaaa It's been awhile since I seen it..I must have missed that. I am a forever bemmett fan and I hope they do end up together.
shareWhen Emmett told Bay, "It doesn't have to be forever. Maybe in a few years...," Bay told Emmett, "You do this now, it's done. It's forever."
In my mind, that's a whole lot like Regina's "Go home, pack your stuff, and get out! We'll be better off without you."
I think it seems similar, but it is actually quite different. With Regina and Angelo, the issue was that Daphne didn't look like any of them, so he thought she cheated, with Daphne's looks being the only indication that anything was wrong.
With Bay and Emmett, Emmett thought Bay cheated, then that she was raped, then again that she cheated, then took up his fling with Skye and made a movie about Bay's actions from his point of view behind her back.
Bay had both the movie and Skye directly in front of her when she came to L.A. All Regina had was the mistrust of Angelo which was an extremely understandable mistrust.
Bay had more reasons to break things off for good. And I think she felt quite ridiculous when Emmett suggested they take things up again in a few years. For one, that's a pretty stupid thing to say in the first place. Why not just say "Let's have a break for a few months and try to figure out what we want with each other and in life".
Second, after him not believing her (Indeed, not even trying to listen to her) and making this movie behind her back and Skye in front of her, there wasn't much reason to forgive Emmett, not in that moment. His mistrust was misplaced, since he never listened to Bay, or talked to Tank.
What had happened was something only Bay and Tank had any actual information about. With the Daphne issue, there were DNA tests and it was just not an issue no one could have done or said something about.
While I think it's okay to compare Bay's temper to Regina's, and I second your opinion on both Regina's temper and Kathryn's kindness in Bay, I think it's important to remember that the two situations between Bay and Emmett and Regina and Angelo are not as equatable as they might seem.
... oh, thank you, now I ship Kathryn and Angelo. Hopefully, that's a good thing. Although they would make pretty babies... (Then again, Gilles Marini would always make pretty babies.) share
