===Dionyssis Dangas===

'''Dionyssis Dangas''' (Διονύσης Δάγκας, played by [[Haris Romas]]). Dionyssis was born to a [[Rebetiko]] singer (played by [[Sperantza Vrana]]) and an unnamed father. Later in the series his father was revealed to be a successful [[cross-dressing]] singer and committed [[Homosexuality|homosexual]] who was seduced by a female colleague while drunk.

Dionyssis was raised in poverty and sought scholastic success in order to escape it. His favorite pet as a child was a [[rabbit]]. While unemployed and unable to get other supplies, his mother killed the rabbit and served it to Dionyssis as [[stew]]. This left him with a [[psychological trauma]].

Line 39:

Dionyssis grew to be a social climbing lawyer and married into an affluent and well-connected family. By the start of the series Dionyssis was highly successful in his chosen profession, having secured a position in the Supreme Court of Greece and a luxurious residence in [[Kolonaki]]. His marriage on the other hand had grown stale, largely because of his lack of interest in [[sexual intercourse]].

Dionyssis was [[nouveau riche]] and sought to impress others by showing off his wealth and education. He essentially became a [[snob]] and hated being reminded of his lowly origins. OnHe thewas other hand Dionyssis wasalso a [[miser]] and hated expenses that gained him no prestige. AnOne episode revealed his childhood idol to be [[Scrooge McDuck]], to the point of Dionyssis having his own [[Number One Dime]]. He earned his first dime by winning his first trial at the age of five: Twotwo kids were fighting over a loaf when he happened to be passingpass by. He asked, one of them:"Well, who does it belong to?" and one of the kids answered:, "It belongs to the other kid. But if you say that it belongs to me I am gonna'll give you this dime.". And so he earned his first dime by practising his future job.

During the series, Dionyssis grows used to financially supporting both his wife and his neighbours. By the series finale he is a father of two but is much closer emotionally to the son of his neighbour. The finale suggests Dionyssis attempting to raise four children instead of two and learning to co-habit with the Stamati family.
