Spinelli: Love Interest & Friend

Since I didn't get a chance to post about Thursday and Friday's episodes and now we are past Monday's episode I decided to go over some general topics i have been thinking about.

Spinelli the love interest:
I wanted to start of with this because this really bothers me. I have read in different places places things like "Spinelli can't be a serious love interest". Honestly are we living in different worlds? Who are the love interest out there? Does love have to be 'taken seriously". On a personal level for myself one of the most attractive personality traits a man can have is a sense of humor. Take that with Bradford being pretty easy on the eyes, I can't see how Spinelli isn't a viable love interest.

Spinelli the friend:
It does not take a rocket scientist to realize that Spinelli is deficient in the area of social skills. I imagine he spent much of his life on the outside looking in. Never quite clicking with everyone . Like any social misfit he clings to the people who befriend him. He is very loyal to these people and is willing to make himself look like fool to help them out and protect them.

  • When Sonny was hurt and was saying 'inappropriate" stuff in the hospital Spinelli 'covered' for him. They where so busy looking at Spinelli acting oddly that they really forgot what Sonny was saying.
  • Yesterday when Spinelli came in with the camera to film the birth of his friend Jason's child he was willing to cover again by being made a fool of (I have some issues with this scene as it being a little stupid but it still works with the topic.)
  • At Lucky & Elizabeth's wedding he was willing to make himself look foolish in order to stop Lulu from saying something about the baby (be it you agree with the secret or not Spinelli did what he did out of friendship to both Jason and Lulu)
  • He accepted Sam using him as a cover for her Angela Monroe secret (saying the package was for Spinelli not her)
  • When he go the finger prints for Logan (gag) he completely made a fool of himself to complete the task.
Spinelli is a good and loyal friend. He was willing to put his own life in risk to go into the Metro-Court.

Spinelli is a good egg.
