Soap Wire's Performer of the Week: Dominic Zamprogna (General Hospital)

Dominic Zamprogna delivered unforgettable performances in the past two episodes. Though other actors like Nancy Lee Grahn and Steve Burton were remarkable in portraying the grief of losing Samantha McCall, Dominic stood out. His expression of shock when Dante first hears of Sam’s death was haunting, and Finn Carr, who plays his son Rocco, mirrored his disbelief beautifully.

The anticipation to see Dante and Rocco’s reactions on Friday was intense, and the scene did not disappoint. I was moved to tears watching Nancy Lee Grahn’s Alexis cradle Dante as he silently wept, with Rocco’s teary eyes adding to the heartbreak. Alexis’s gratitude toward Dante for loving Sam felt incredibly sincere, and Dominic’s portrayal of silent sorrow was powerful.

When Dante was alone with Sam, expressing how she changed his life and gave him a family, it was impossible not to feel his grief. Dominic captured every emotion—disbelief, shock, heartbreak—at losing the woman he loved so deeply. His performance was a masterclass in expressing loss, and I’m grateful for witnessing it.

Stay tuned for more drama!
