The moment finally came on when (Gregory Harrison) passed away. Holding on to celebrate Brook Lynn's (Amanda Setton) and ’s (Josh Swickard) nuptials, after the reception ended, Gregory arrived back home to pass away in his sleep in the episode airing on May 20. When Finn (Michael Easton) discovers his dad’s body in the episode that aired on May 21, he becomes emotionally distraught, and one of the first things he does is take a sip from the bottle of liquor that was gifted by Carmine (George Russo) and Gloria (Ellen Travolta).
Then, after calling Chase to inform him of their dad’s passing, Finn takes another gulp. Finn’s hidden drinks are problematic for one glaring reason: he’s a former addict who was addicted to prescription drugs, and any encounters with a substance can lead to a slippery slope. That’s precisely while he called (Nancy Lee Grahn), his sober buddy, after he accidentally drank some champagne at his brother’s wedding.
With all that being said, it looks like Finn may continue to turn to alcohol as grief sets in. That’s unfortunate because once alcohol no longer numbs his pain he could turn back to pills, which can snowball into a number of issues. First and foremost, his downward spiral is likely to impact his relationship with Violet (Jophielle Love).
The young girl may pick up on the fact that her father is acting abnormally and become gravely concerned. Then there’s his relationship with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). As a medical professional.
