Angelo Sorrento

Angelo Giovanni Sorrento was married to Regina Vasquez and was the father of Bay Kennish, Abby Sorrento and Daphne Vasquez (legal).

Plot
Season 1= Angelo Giovanni Sorrento was the ex-boyfriend/now husband of Regina Vasquez with whom he fathered Bay Kennish although the couple brought Daphne Vasquez home mistakenly believing she was their daughter. As Daphne grew up he became suspicious of her true paternity because of her green eyes, fair skin, and red hair. When Daphne was sick with meningitis he secretly had a blood test done to prove that Daphne was not biologically related to him. The result said that she wasn't and he left Regina and Daphne. However, Angelo claims that Regina kicked him out. Regina then had another blood test with her and found out that Daphne wasn't related to her either.

In The Homecoming (season one's summer finale), he returns to Missouri after reading that the girls were switched at birth in a newspaper. He shows up at Bay's art show and reveals that he is her father. Bay later meets up with Angelo at his hotel and he tells her he, and therefore she, is Italian, French, and Arabic. Daphane asks if her becoming deaf right before he left was just a coinsidence, in which he replies it had a ‘small’ reason as to why he left. Bay asks why he left, but he says he needs more time to explain everything. He then tells her that he wants her to meet his side of the family when/if she goes with him to France that summer.

Regina and Daphne see Angelo, but only Bay wants him around. After meeting with Regina several times, he tells her that he wants to get back together (without actually saying the words) and that the hospital is responsible for what happened to the girls (which he then sues the hospital, winning 5 million dollars). He also tells her that if the girls hadn't been switched, they would still be together.

Regina slowly starts to forgive him and they decide to open a salon together. Angelo becomes furious with Regina when John tells him that she knew about the girls being switched. He later forgives her and they end up sleeping together, much to the displeasure of Regina's mom. That night, Kathryn invites him over for dinner and they find out he is a fugitive. He beat up a man in Italy when he was drunk because the man had an affair with his fiancée. Regina's mom calls the police and Angelo disappears.

Physical Appearance and Personality
Angelo Sorrento has wavy dark brown hair and dark brown eyes that, according to Kathryn, are identical to Bay's. He is tall and viewed as handsome, with many women interested in him, though he only appeared to be interested in Regina during the end of his life.

Angelo's true intentions are often a mystery. He was suspected to have only returned to Kansas City for the settlement money he'd get from the trial. However, he does seem to genuinely care for his daughters. He shows a desire to form a very close relationship with Bay and mend his estranged relationship with Daphne. His fugitive status for harming the man who slept with his fiancée indicates a very bad temper. It also seemed that he really loved, or used to love his wife Regina.

History
On October 22, 1995, wife Regina Vasquez gave birth to a daughter who was switched at the hospital with another baby girl. The couple named this baby Daphne Paloma Vasquez and took her home. Angelo soon began to suspect that Regina had cheated on him and that Daphne was not his daughter due to the lack of resemblance between them. He did not get the chance to prove this until 1998 when Daphne caught meningitis and lost her hearing. He took a swab of her saliva and had it DNA tested. Obviously, the results said that Daphne was not related to him.

He left Regina and Daphne when Daphne was just three years old. He eventually moving back to Italy where at some point he met and got engaged to an unknown woman. A few days before the wedding, his friend confessed to sleeping with Angelo's fiancée. Enraged, Angelo beat his friend and wound up in jail the next day. He was released, but his friend's father turned out to be a prosecutor. He fled the country and ended up in Chicago, where he lived his life uneventfully for two years until he happened upon a newspaper article detailing the switch. He returned to Kansas City, prepared to beg for forgiveness from Regina and Daphne and hoping to form a bond with his biological daughter Bay.
