Yeah, I know. Poor Carmine--so defensive.

I think we realize it's not up to him as to what stories he gets dealt, and I have to say, he always seems to go above and beyond with whatever he's working with. I like how he's always careful to express Danny's feelings--either through his expression or tone--in the course of an episode.
There's not much he can do with crappy stuff like flying to Montana to support Lindsay through her trial when she's been doing nothing but blowing him off.

But I think it's cool that he's expressed his displeasure with that; hopefully he won't get handed anymore crappy out of character stuff like that for Danny.
