The Shocking Truth About Danny's Father in The Crowded Room — Unveiling the Untold Mystery!

The Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room is gradually uncovering the enigma surrounding Danny Sullian's life. Despite this, the question still remains regarding the location of Danny's father. Following Danny's arrest for a 1979 shooting at Rockefeller Center, the show delves into his life through interviews conducted by Rya Goodwin, played by Amanda Seyfried.

Throughout the series, fragments of Danny's past are revealed, shedding light on his familial connections. While his mother is still present, Danny discloses the loss of his brother Adam. However, the lingering mystery revolves around the whereabouts of his father. Danny speculates that Ariana, Yitzak, and Jack may be utilizing him to find his father. Nevertheless, Danny's unsuccessful attempts to locate him leave viewers pondering where his father could be and the potential for his appearance in The Crowded Room.

Danny's Father Left The Family When Danny Was A Child

In episode five of The Crowded Room, Rya urges Danny to delve deeper into his past and share his childhood experiences. Through his recollections, viewers gain insight into Danny's close bond with his brother Adam and their mother, Candy. One summer, Adam traveled to London to visit their father, resulting in a temporary separation between the twins. Danny expressed his longing to join his brother, and Adam playfully remarked that he would be envious during Christmas, implying that both twins had the chance to spend time with their father.

During a visit to Candy's workplace, her boss made a remark, saying, "I'm sorry Pete turned out to be the same asshole he always was." This comment reveals that Danny's father had abandoned the family, leaving Candy to work two jobs to support Danny and Adam. When Danny presented to his classmates, he mentioned that his father was starting a company in London and that he would eventually be able to visit him there. However, it becomes evident from the present-day information that his long-awaited trip to see his father never materialized.

The Crowded Room Hints Danny's Father Never Actually Moved To London

In The Crowded Room, Danny's obsession with his father's presence in London persists. He eagerly shares a travel guide of the city's landmarks with his classmates, promising to visit each one. However, when Danny finally embarks on a journey to London as an adult, hoping to reunite with his father, he instead encounters Jack, his father's business partner, resulting in yet another disappointing encounter. This raises doubts about the existence of Danny's father in London.

It is plausible that Jack and Adam, who are believed to be alternate personalities of Danny, contribute to this uncertainty. It is likely that the story of Danny's father residing in London was a fabrication created by his alter ego, Adam. During his trip to London, Danny was unable to access the persona of Adam, further supporting the notion that it was all a figment of his imagination. Danny even goes so far as to claim that Ariana, Yitzak, and Jack were collaborating to help him locate his father. This invented version of his father may have served as a mechanism for Danny to cope with the profound loss he experienced. In meeting Jack in London, Danny finally has the opportunity to be guided through the city as he had always envisioned his father doing, filling the void of a paternal figure he longed for since childhood.

Will Danny's Father Appear In The Crowded Room?

The question of whether Danny's father will make an appearance in The Crowded Room series arises. The evidence presented suggests that the idea of Danny's father being in London is false, and that it was merely a coping mechanism for dealing with his father's abandonment at a young age. However, if Danny's father were to reappear in the series and offer explanations for his absence, it could potentially provide the closure Danny needs to come to terms with certain aspects of his past.

It is important to note that this series draws inspiration from the novel The Minds of Billy Milligan by Daniel Keyes. If the show stays true to Billy's early life events, then the "truth" that Danny needs to confront may be his father's suicide, as Billy's father took his own life when he was four years old. This tragic event played a role in the development of Billy's multiple personalities. Considering the basis of The Crowded Room on this novel, it is possible that Danny's father could be deceased, and his creation of an imagined version of his father served as a way to cope with the traumatic loss.

Episode 7 of The Crowded Room airs on June 30 on Apple TV+.
