Who is franks dad

Of course, seeing how he was really Sam's son, he was a Keating all alone. Frank was never really a legal associate, which is how Annalise introduced him and Bonnie to the Keating 5 in the very beginning of the series.

Frank was not qualified to practice law as he did not hold a law degree, or possibly any academic degree at all, given how he spent much of his young days going in and out of prison. In season 5, Frank was shown finally trying to turn his life around, applying for the law program at Middleton, although as in most other things in his life, this too was fated to go wrong.

It was probably a good thing that Frank did not stay with Sam while growing up. The hot-headed young man tried to murder his father, who he knew to be his own father but of course, must have been an adoptive father, in the light of the information of Frank's biological parents revealed in the final season. Frank planned the murder of his adoptive dad at the tender age of 13 and finally executed his plan after weeks of preparation. He ran his dad over and had been in and out of jail ever since, right until Sam came to his rescue.

Frank was always shown to be a gray character. He committed atrocities either out of a warped sense of justice or to make things right. In season 3, when his backstory was revealed in bits and pieces, in true HTGAWM style, Sam realized that Frank had never forgiven himself for planning his father's murder. It was because he felt a deep sense of guilt that he repeatedly committed other foolish acts while in jail, even as his parole hearing came out.

He made sexual advances on a female guard in prison, and also incited a fight within the cell, hoping that such behavior would prevent him from getting out, because he felt he didn't deserve to get out in the first place. After Frank was given up for adoption by the Keatings, he grew up in a large Italian Roman Catholic family.

His amazing cooking skills were most likely picked up while his time with his adoptive family. Frank was shown to have cooked some delicious looking meatballs for Laurel and also took charge of food more than once when the Keating 5 hung out all night to do research for one of their cases, or simply to complain about their lives. In one of Frank's earliest interactions with Laurel, the former was an absolute jerk to the young law student, telling her how she would end up quitting law to become a mother sooner or later.

Does Frank being able to recognize he loves Laurel still, but for a different reason than his love for Bonnie represent significant growth on his part to you? I saw it as acceptance, and acceptance is definitely growth, so yes. There's another person that is like him, and it's okay to be this way. Despite his acceptance of being a pretty bad person, it was growth in the sense that he finally truly accepted himself. Laurel was him trying to be a normal person.

How much guilt do you think he feels for choosing Laurel? Guilt isn't necessarily the word but certainly this responsibility to clean up the mess he created. He feels liable for choosing her and all the things that came with that. Guilt is not something that is really; he's not hammered by guilt, it's his ownership. He owns that he chose her, it's created a complete mess and he has to clean that up. I think he knows enough that he needs to stay away.

I think he cares enough to know he needs to stay away. Might he have to take the blame for either of those? It creates a whole new complication for him in that at this point, all bets are off. I don't think Frank has any illusions that this is going to turn out ok.

Did you ever feel significantly team Laurel or team Bonnie? Were you happy ultimately that it's Bonnie? I'm happy that the story took that route because I think that it's a reflection of what I said about Frank's character. That is his truth and to let a character find their truth means a lot.

He dropped the facade. He stopped attempting to be whatever he thought regular people are supposed to be like, and he accepted who he was. He found somebody who shares that same issue of they're bound by this trauma and abuse. I am so happy that he found that and accepted it. For me personally, I would say the worst thing Frank has ever done is kill Lila Stangard. She was an innocent girl. It was at the behest of somebody who had control over him.

Of all the things that he's done, that's the one person that was innocent. She didn't do anything wrong. And I do stand by that he did not know she was pregnant. It displayed something in my relationship with Sam, but if we're talking the worst from a moral standpoint, that's the worst thing he ever did. It definitely feels even worse now knowing that he killed his father's pregnant girlfriend. What's so hard to the whole storyline of Sam being his father is that both Lila and Annalise were carrying his half sibling.

They were both related to Frank, which was pretty crazy. It really turns things on its head. Or, to be specific, a romantic history between the character and his own sister Hannah. What was the reasoning for that? It has a thing or two to do with her being able to prove that Hannah has been trying to set her up for the majority of the series. Think along the lines of jealousy.
