GH - Idea of how James Franco's new character Franco is tied to Dante, Jason, and Sonny (possible spoiler)...?
James Franco's character who is interestingly named "Franco" is set to show up in Port Charles on November 20th. I haven't been able to find any spoilers that come right out and say what his business in PC is, but I've formed an idea based on some things that I read on the GHH spoiler site. Remember the conversation that Dante and Lulu had on the docks a few weeks ago when he explained to her about the death of the man who he saw as a father figure? GHH has that conversation streaming on their site next to cryptic spoilers about Franco.
Dante: "There was one guy I related to the most. See, it wasn't a family member. Mr. Poletti. He was my best friend's dad. He would include me in whatever he did with his own kids... he really went the extra mile to make sure I had that father figure in my life ...right up to the day he was murdered. Everyone knew who gave the order, too. One guy and one guy only ran our neighborhood. No one came forward. It was like... Mr. Poletti's death was supposed to happen. After we buried him this long, black limo pulls up. This man in a perfect suit gets out. The whole street goes still. Everyone stared in awe at the man in the fancy clothes and his aura of power, like he was something to respect. And everyone knew that he ordered Mr. Poletti's death. But it didn't matter in the face of all that...what, charisma? For just a second I thought I could run up to that guy and cold-cock that bastard in the head with my stick, but...he always had bodyguards with him. I never would have got close. It's interesting to me now, you know?...Things come around. All these years later... I'm finally getting close."
Below that conversation it says that what Franco is after is bigger than just Jason or Sonny, it's more that's he's after them because of what they do, rather than a personal vendetta against them. He's supposedly going after Sonny and particularly Jason because they have gotten away with their crimes for so long and he wants them to pay. The site says that it may be a case of "Vigilante Justice," which leads me to believe that unlike Dante who is trying to take them down legally as a cop, Franco wants to take them down on his own through illegal channels. My guess is that Franco is Mr. Poletti's son and Dante's childhood best friend. If that were the case it would explain why Franco hates mobsters and also why Dante recognized the graffiti tag earlier.
Franco is supposed to be in Port Charles for about two months and I think that this is shaping up to be a very interesting storyline. What do you all think?

Yes I heard he is going to cause Jason a lot of problems! I can't wait to see what he brings to GH and I hope it gets new viewers to watch and stay watching after he leaves bc GH is in trouble in the ratings! That is a good guess about him being Dante's friend, I bet you are right!
I read a spoiler that said Franco is someone that helped Sam a few years ago. So maybe Franco & Sam were in a relationship, & she decides to leave him for Jason. He becomes obsessed & is out for revenge on him now. Or if they do decide to go with Franco & Dante being old friends, then maybe Franco was the son of the murdered cop (the one Dante said was a father figure to him). And now he's looking to take Jason out to get to Sonny. These are just my guesses here. I have plenty more. Oh & I don't think Spinelli will forgive Maxie either, if that spoiler is true. ☮ ❤ & ツ
From what I can recall from Dante and Lulu's conversation about Mr. Poletti, it sounded like Sonny was behind his death. If you think about it...Dante kept saying how a powerful man where he lived rode around town like he owned the place and he did because people were scared of him.
I remember from conversations with Olivia, that Sonny worked for the local mob boss...so Sonny might have been the one to kill Mr. Poletti on orders from his mob boss in Bensonhurst.
I definitely think that James Franco's character could be Mr. Poletti's son and Dante's childhood friend.
I personally can't wait to see James on GH. GH needs better storylines.
From what I've read, James Franco's character, Franco, is childhood friends with Dante and the son of Dante's murdered father figure. He's out for justice and his character will be heavily involved with several characters and he changes the relationship of some of the key couples on the show.
I think you are onto something. I have a gut feeling that it all ties in with the death of Mr. Poletti.
At first I thought that 77 was the year Mr. Poletti was killed, but that would make Dante waaay too old today.
Maybe it is the license plate of Sonny's car back when Mr. Poletti was gunned down.
Too many possibilities at this point.
My thoughts exactly! Should be very exciting- both he and Dante trying to avenge Mr. Poletti's death but on opposite sides of the law! Can't wait!!!
I was just gonna post a question about Franco on Gh. I think this is the most interesting thing to happen on daytime. I cant wait to see it.
James Franco? Ah shucks of course he'd go onto another soap opera then one life to live
that sucks
I love him
:(
All I know is that he has been "described" as being the worst nightmare coming for Jason!
I think he's going to either be a cop type guy or a mob rival. I can't wait until he comes!!! :P
