General Hospital
GH’s Dominic Zamprogna Teases What’s Next Now that Dante Has Learned Gio is His Son
You couldn’t have asked for a bigger reveal then what General Hospital gave viewers at the end of the Thursday, May 22nd episode during its Nurses’ Ball.
On stage, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is supposed to accompany Chase (Josh Swickard) and Anna (Finola Hughes) in their tango dance, playing the violin. Only he is so overcome with what he just heard that he completely loses it on stage and announces that Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) are his biological parents, and then smashes his violin and walks out of the ball.
Dominic Zamprogna shared how he played Dante’s initial reaction when Gio blurted out the paternity shocker. He told Soap Opera Digest, “I kind of played it like he thought it was like a joke, like part of his performance or something like that, until Gio starts freaking out. It’s not really until he looks at Brook Lynn that he realizes, ‘Oh, this is actually a real thing.”
Realizing he has been duped since high school, Zamprogna says for Dante, “It’s just total shock. I remember kind of almost smiling, like, ‘What the hell is going on?’ It’s a good moment for Gio, for sure – he got to go a little apes–t up there!”

Zamprogna detailed that one of his favorite moments from the reveal was his scenes with Josh Kelly (Cody), where Cody confesses to knowing Brook Lynn was pregnant all those years ago. “Josh is phenomenal and a very soulful guy in his own right,’ shares Dominic.”I think those scenes that we had in the immediate aftermath of Dante finding out were beautifully written and super-emotional scenes.”

So, where does the story go from here? What Zamprogna did indicate is that it now opens up the story for plenty of conflict for Chase, Brook Lynn and Dante, not to mention Lulu (Alexa Havins).
When all-new episodes begin to air next week starting with the Tuesday. May 27 episode, Dominic previewed,”When he finds Brook Lynn, she’s in the middle of it with Lois (Rena Sofer). And those scenes may be the best scenes I’ve ever seen, the ones between Rena and Amanda. It’s just otherworldly. He goes to look for her to be like, ‘How could you?’ and he sees the place she’s in, this terrible moment with her mom.”

For Dante and Brook Lynn, Zamprogna shared, “It’s tough when you feel betrayed by multiple people who are very close to you and whether or not you agree with their reasons for doing it, everyone you scan your eyes to in those moments seem to already know something that they were keeping from you, whether it’s Cody or Chase or Brook Lynn or Lulu or Carly, you know? The list just seems to keep growing, and Dante is like, ‘Well, am I the only one that didn’t know?’ There’s a lot of great writing, a lot of great moments to come, for sure.”
So are you excited to see how the next leg of the story plays out now that the truth is out that Gio is Dante and Brook Lynn’s son? Do you think it will ultimately draw Brook Lynn and Dante together and cause trouble in the marriage of Brook Lynn to Chase and are Lulu’s hopes dashed in reuniting with the love of her life now that the secret came out the way it did? Weigh-in via the comment section.
When he said Josh Kelly is very soulful, I couldn’t agree more. That was a good scene. He was so calm and understated.
DZ’s acting in the last two episodes was brilliant. As Gio made his earth shattering announcement, Dante’s face went from amusement to puzzlement to shock and finally to ultimate realization. All these fluctuating array of emotions washed over his face in a matter of seconds. It was actually how someone in real life would react upon hearing life shattering news. It was subtle, intense, and it was real.
Sorry, I am not a fan of this story. There was too much retconning of the characters history regardless of how the reveals played out at the Nurses Ball.
I agree. Keep saying Lois was frank enough to sit down with the involved parties for a frank conversation. Not this sneaky Lois the writers want us to believe. Lois was honest to a fault, feelings always on her face. This is such !
I totally agree!!!
Right now, Gio is under the impression that everybody has been lying to him his entire life, and that his parents threw him away. As the facts are clarified, I think he’s going to warm up to Dante faster than he will BrookLynn or especially Lois.
Because Dante literally had no idea. And while Gio is still feeling some resentment over the way Dante treated him over the whole “Rocco got shitfaced” episode, he really can’t hold this new information against Dante. And more than likely, Dante will bring up the story about how he also grew up not knowing his father… and how that truth was revealed to him in circumstances a little more dramatic than a smashed up fiddle!
It’s Grandma Lois who will get the bulk of Gio’s wrath in the end, and – as much as a Devil has always liked Lois – she really deserves that wrath here. As she (and her mother) were the only ones who knew the real truth all along. Dante will also go off on her, more than likely. Though he will also have words for BrookLynn & Cody, who could have at least told him about the baby’s existence, even if they didn’t know any of the other details.
All the hate directed at Lulu over this? That’s ridiculous. The only mistake Lulu really made here was picking the wrong time & place to confront Lois. But let’s face it… it was a “May Sweeps Moment”, wasn’t it?
I agree, most viewers faulted Lulu 100% about finding out the truth about baby Gio and not a single post on how it was Lois and her mother orgistrated the cover-up of the century. It was cruel especially since Gio lived among his biological parents, what mother and grandmother does that to their children? I said it from the beginning, see my posts on GH blogs, I wrote Brook Lynn will tell her mother that what she did is UNFORGIVEABLE..
Lulu is completely at fault. I wish Chase had arrested her for breaking and entering. She just couldn’t keep her nose out of Brooklyn’s business. Really hope it all comes down on her. Especially since she kept saying she thought Brooklyn knew it was Gio, but hid it because she was such a good liar. Ummm excuse me, but Lulu was there when Brooklyn told her she didn’t even know if it was a boy or girl.
Right!
Dante needs an Emmy for his outstanding performances this year!
Gio as well!
I can’t wait until tomorrow this Soap is Hot. I can see many receiving awards at the next Soap Award shop. Lady and Gents get the fancy dresses and tuxedos going. No one is going to beat you this year. Good work
I can’t decide if Gio’s on stage melt down, or Michael taking Wiley “home” is my favorite thing of the ball. But The Look of Love is up there too. Gio should win an Emmy for sure! And if you saw the the gowns that Lucy wore, #5 was the best!
Agree!
I thought the look on Drew’s face when Michael walked in was the best part of the ball.
I would totally laugh if Gio is Cody’s son. Hope they do a DNA test.
That would be hilarious
Well then if that was even a possibility why didn’t Cody question Brooklyn about if he was the father. It never crossed his mind to ask her because they probably never had sex
1st.. Gio’s Violin Performance was so very amazing ! 2nd was his reveal that they were his parents! Super amazing talent! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode!!!
Too bad Gio plays the violin and not the cello because what fun the writers could have had engaging in word play. For example, “ Yo! Yo! Ma!!!??!
Good One!
Not Lulu’s story to tell. Especially when she obtained this information illegally. Her hatred for Brooklyn is over the top. Hopefully Dante sees Lulu for what she is. Too busy messing in other people’s business, maybe she should have been focused more on her own children. Looking forward to Drew’s demise. I have no use for weak women and Willow has played that part well. But enough is enough already. She will be humiliated when the truth comes out and it will be well deserved. The new Michael looks amazing in the little exposure he’s had so far.
Tuesdays show was so good with magnificent performances by Gio, Brooklyn rolling Lois off. Dante trying to understand Brooklyns position, and I think though hurt, trying to understand the best he could. Tracyvwas wonderful. But we dint know if Gio will accept . No
w maybe we will see Willow come to her senses and kick Drew to thr curb!being the newest Quartermain
Lulu doesn’t deserve Dante. She’s a woman scorned. She should crashed & burned. She was advised by her own mother/Laura & others who love her not to persue the matter. But she “intended” to play God & hurt a lot of people. She has to own it & pay dearly for being so vicious & feels the same hate that she so richly spreads. Her kids should despise her & forever reminding her she’s the scam of the earth.
I really hope Lulu and Dante get back together. They have always been in love with one another. I would be turned off bog time if Brooklyn and Dante would hook up after this, they just aren’t a good look together at all. Dante might be mad at first with Lulu but he will get over it and the two of them will wind up in bed together and later married again.
Why when Dante told her that he loved her but he was still in love with Sam a dead woman who has been dead long enough for him to get over her. Anybody remember that she had fallen in love with the teacher that got killed when they blew up the bar. She was planning a future with another man. Now she is so in love with Dante. She did all this to get back at Brooklyn even after 3verybody toʻld her toleave it alone.
Sam died a little over 6 months ago. Just how quickly is someone supposed to “get over” the loss of a loved one? Come on.
Lulu realized she was still in love with Dante around the time of the explosion – and even told Maxie that.
Rory’s short Entrance at the Nurses Ball was epic

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Has a Stalker: Is it Simon, Quinn, or Someone From Her Past?

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) looks to be the next soap opera character to fall under the “woman being stalked or the center of someone’s obsession,” soap trope, when in the closing moments of the Wednesday, July 22 episode of General Hospital, a bulletin board was revealed covered with various photos of the budding young singer who just landed her first record label deal.
Now that GH has launched this summer mystery, the soap opera gave us two potential culprits right off the bat, although they could be major red herrings, and someone else currently on the canvas, who would be the least likely person, could be the obsessed stalker. Or, could it be a blast from the past (think the ‘late’ Esme Prince) and someone who has an ax to grind with Trina?
Here’s what went down: Simon (Grady Eldridge) revealed to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina, that the record label wants Gio and Trina to sign separate artist deals, which surprised all three. Brook Lynn talks it over with her clients, and Gio is firm. He only wants to do the deal if he and Trina come as a package. After Simon learned of their decision, we later see him on a call. On the call he says although they had signed Trina and Gio, Trina was “the one to watch.”

QUINN SHOWS UP OUT OF NOWHERE WITH APOLOGIES FOR KAI AND TRINA
Meanwhile, Trina’s boyfriend Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) ran into former friend and football teammate Quinn (Jequan Jackson in his return to GH). The last time viewers saw Quinn was back in February of 2025, when after Kai’s injury that ended his football career, Quinn blamed this all on Trina for splitting Kai’s focus between football and her, when he needed to be concentrating on his career aspirations.
As Kai is waiting for Trina (following her meeting with music executive, Simon), Quinn shows up and apologizes to Kai for speaking to Trina so badly in the wake of his accident. Quinn hopes their friendship can be repaired. Suddenly, Trina arrives and is shocked to see Quinn. He promptly apologizes to her for his past mistake and hopes they could all hang out sometime.
When Quinn makes his exit, Trina informs Kai about what happened during the record label meeting and the two kiss as the camera pana to Quinn sitting in the corner table glowering at Trina and Kai. From there, we get the full on bulletin board with cut-out pics in a Trina collage, and the camera comes in close, and then we fade to black.
So, what do you think is going on here? Who is the obsessed stalker, or who is wanting payback on Trina? Do you think Simon or Quinn are true suspects? Could it be a very much alive Esme Prince, or someone else entirely? Weigh-in with your picks via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Tristan and Britt Continue to Have Snarky Runs-Ins: Do You Feel an On-Screen Spark?

On the Tuesday, July 21 episode of General Hospital, the new cardiac surgeon in town, Dr. Tristan Rogers, played by recent cast addition Dean Geyer, once again had a confrontation with Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). This time while at the hospital.
In the scenes, Britt arrived to have a meeting to hopefully get her job back. However, she was not happy to learn from her new pal, Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) that Tristan is the new surgeon on staff at GH!
Britt informs Lucas she is on the edge because she has to meet with Stella (Vernee Watson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) to see if they would reinstate her. Lucas warns her to try to be humble. Immediately after that, Tristan sees Britt. He informs her that her room at Bobbie’s is available again as he is moving out and to the Metro Court which is more to his liking and style.

BRITT GETS REINSTATED WITH CONDITIONS
The two throw barbs at each other when Britt finds out how Carly supposedly helped Tristan to get the room at the hotel. Lucas pulled Tristan away for a patient consult to ease the snark between the two doctors.
In the meeting, Stella and Elizabeth decide to give Britt an opportunity to explain her actions. Britt then has to apology for locking Elizabeth in the closet so she could flee the country with Rocco. Stella and Elizabeth also note how she faked her own death and the list of bad behavior and choices she has exhibited in the past year alone.
When Elizabeth and Stella ask, why they should rehire her? Britt says because she is an excellent doctor, which Elizabeth agrees with and gives Britt props for saving the life and bringing baby Phoebe into the world when Delilah died.
Ultimately, Britt is hired back with a six-month probationary period with a laundry list of additional responsibilities such as weekend shifts, working with the children, and more.
Meanwhile, Lucas invites Tristan to join the GH softball team to get to know people and they have a game tonight. Just then, Elizabeth came up with the idea that one of Britt’s additional duties was to be the new equipment manager for the team. In that moment, Tristan and Britt realize they have to see more of each other, when they already can’t stand each other (or so they say).
So, do you think that Tristan and Britt will soon be a new couple, especially after Jason sees Britt this week after his return from captivity? While Britt may hope things can pick right back up with Jason, will she be in for a devastating letdown, clearing the path down the line for a romance with Tristan? Do you think there are on-screen sparks already between Britt and Tristan, or do you feel like its completely feeling forced? Let us know via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kayden Brenna Tokarski Makes Her Debut; Is Scout Working with Drew To Bring Down Willow?

On the Monday, July 20th episode of General Hospital, 16-year-old, Kayden Brenna Tokarski made her debut as the new Scout Cain; the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).
In Kayden’s first scenes she appeared with Katelyn MacMullen (Willow Cain), Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine) and Daytime Emmy nominee, Amanda Setton (Brook Lynn Quartermaine).
When Tokarski entered the GH canvas on-screen, here’s what went down: Willow and Scout showed up at the Quartermaine stables. After Willow exits, Scout tells Tracy she was hoping she would allow her to use the lake on the property for a swim practice.

SCOUT WANTS TRACY TO ALLOW DREW ON THE QUARTERMAINE BOATHOUSE PROPERTY
Suddenly, Brook Lynn enters and with a wink-wink to the audience as she notes how grownup Scout looks! Now, Scout begins to explain to BLQ and Tracy that she has been training for a charity swim and plans to donate the money she raises for breast cancer research in honor of Monica.
Tracy being Tracy know something is up and asks Scout point blank, “What’s the catch?” Scout pipes up that there is one catch: She wants Tracy to let Drew watch her swim. Tracy agrees to allow Drew onto Quartermaine property for Scout. When Scout exits, Tracy makes a remark to Brook Lynn that Scout is definitely acting like a Quartermaine.
But do you think there is more to this? Is Scout onto or in on the fact that Drew will soon be seen able to speak and move? Could Scout be on to Willow’s machinations and be the one who actually trips her up and Willow’s house of cards finally comes tumbling down around her? Stay tuned.
THE AGED-UP SCOUT
On her GH debut, Kayden Brenna Tokarski spoke to Soap Opera Digest on what concerns the GH faithful might have or the older version of Scout. “I know that this age-up and recast was shocking to many. I think many people are concerned that she’s going to be very bratty, but I think just the opposite. I think she’s a lovely teenager who’s navigating a lot of things in life, but she’s a problem-solver and always trying to keep the peace and help others,” shared Kayden.
The young actress also added, “I truly hope that people enjoy watching Scout’s storyline and seeing some new relationships in her life that are a little more grown-up.”
So this begs the question: Do you think the new version of Scout Cain will be scheming like a Quartermaine with the adventuress traits of her mother Sam, and the often unscrupulousness of her dad, Drew? Do you think she will be helping Drew destroy Willow? Let us know your thoughts and send your welcomes to Kayden via the comment section below.
