GENERAL HOSPITAL: Did Dante’s Outburst at Gio Seem Out of Left Field, Just to Make Father/Son Angst for Reveal Down the Line?
On the Wednesday, May 7 episode of General Hospital, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) went off half cocked on an innocent Gio (Giovanni Mazza), after his son Rocco (Finn Carr) is rushed to the hospital with alcohol poisoning. Rocco and Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) had snuck into the PCU beach party and Rocco ended up on his own drinking too much. Gio actually found Rocco passed out and tried to get him to safety.
However, while at the hospital, Dante throws down all over Gio with a tirade saying while in front of Lois (Rena Sofer), he knows who Gio really is. Of course, that has double meaning here, as everyone has been shielding Dante from learning the truth – that Gio is his biological son with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton). Lois just looks on in anger and horror.
Dante continues to yell at Gio, that he has watched him grown up since he was a baby and wants to know how he could be so careless as to give Rocco booze that almost cost him his life? Gio swears up and down he had no idea that Danny and Rocco were even at the party.

Next, Dante goes in on Lois, saying that she and Gloria coddled Gio his whole life and this is the result. Gio swears he doesn’t know who is responsible for the plight Rocco finds himself in. Dante threatens Gio that if he finds out that he gave booze to Rocco he will face police charges. Lois fires back at Dante that if he’s going to play Mr. Detective, maybe find out the facts first.
Lulu (Alexa Havins), who is conveniently eavesdropping on the conversation, comes forward to intervene and tells Dante to stop, and that Rocco will be okay. An emotional Dante yells, “My ONLY son could have died tonight.” That’s when Lois yells at Dante that he’s way out of line.
Out of nowhere, Gio takes responsibility for the situation and says, “No, Dante’s right. This is on me.” Next, Gio runs off. Dante tells Lois to chase after him and make it better for him, just like she has for his entire life. Lois yells back at Dante and says at least Gio was there trying to help Rocco, as opposed to Dante who was nowhere to be found when his son needed him. Lois tells Dante his anger is misplaced and he should be thankful that Gio was there. Most college kids would have left a drunk kid on the beach to sleep it off, but not Gio.

Lois tries to explain to an unknowing Dante, that Gio has a good heart just like him, and shame on Dante for not recognizing it as she storms off. Lulu thinks Dante is way out of line, especially when he keeps saying how irresponsible Gio is, but Lulu points out Gio is a classically-trained violist, which takes extreme discipline.
Eventually, Rocco and Lulu go into Rocco’s hospital room to be by his side, after he was just visited by his grandmother, Laura (Genie Francis). Rocco’s parents, while angry at him, love him and are just so glad he is alive and OK. When Lulu exits the room, an emotional Dante tells Rocco, he promises to never turn his back on him. Outside in the hallway, Lulu makes a voice memo to herself to look into where Lois was when Gio was born.

Clearly, this episode was written to establish conflict between unknowing father and son, Dante and Gio. So, when the reveal happens things are not good between the two of them, or Dante will feel so guilty and awful for the things he said, he will eat crow too. Then we have Lulu, who clearly has put two and two together. Now the question becomes, if Lois gets on to her, will she manipulate any past paper trail or evidence tying Gio’s birth to her? Stay tuned.
So, were you annoyed by the scenes where Dante unloaded on an innocent Gio and brought up what an irresponsible kid he had been all his life; when clearly that is not the Gio in front of us? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
Yeah.. two things came out of this:
First one was the standard soap cliche writing that always comes with the “long lost kid” storylines. Gotta make up some reason for the parent and the kid to hate each other before the truth comes out. Long time GH viewers will remember how much Alexis & Sam hated each other, just before they found out they were related, and then stem cells from Sam’s dead baby were used to save baby Kristina’s life.
The other thing was Lois’s outburst in the hospital where she’s yelling at Dante “You don’t know who he really is!!” Lulu saw that, and she’s putting 6+6+6 together and adding it all up.
So to continue with the standard soap cliche writing, I’m expecting Gio to find himself in a medical emergency soon, where blood transfusions are required. And either Lois will blurt out “Dante, he’s your son!!” (as she came very close to doing yesterday) or Lulu will insist that Dante get tested, probably with BrookLynn giving her some kind of “death stare” as she says it.
I was super annoyed that Dante went off on Gio. So out of character for him. And Gio did get him home. How is a young college guy supposed to know if someone has alcohol poisoning? And I am really tired of Miss holier than thou Lulu butting her nose into this situation. It has nothing to do with her and others have repeatedly told her to keep it to herself. She just keeps on meddling.
I wanted to shake Dante. Talk about kicking someone when they’re down. Every time we thought he’d gotten it out of system, he’d hunt Gio down to lay into him some more. Gio is so sweet. I was glad Cody defended him but I’d like to see Cody lay into Dante a little for being so hard on Gio. I understand Dante was terrified and upset but he went rogue on Gio and he got personal and came short of calling him a worthless, fatherless bastard. He definitely insinuated he was a pampered, sheltered charity case. It was cold and harsh. He owes a major apology to Gio. Yes, Gio is guilty of not calling 911 nor calling Dante or Lulu, but he still got him off the beach where he otherwise might have died right there.
Well said. Dante was a total jerk! Gio is the best… I can’t wait til it all comes out.
It was over the top the way Dante reacted to Gio. That kid has been nothing but perfection since he came to town. So polite, helpful, loving, intelligent. I am dying for this secret to come out. Tracy needs to beat it out of Lois! Gio is Sonny’s grandson! Sonny will have a cow!
Tracy is gonna have a cow too when she learns she shares a grandson with Sonny. Lol. Maybe she’ll learn about it first, and maybe she’ll just tell Lois she’ll keep the secret. As much as Tracy hates Lois, she would go along with Lois’ deceit rather than let Sonny know the truth. I look forward to when Tracy learns it’s Gio. She already loves him.
At least neither Gio nor Danny had unprotected sex and knocked somebody up as a teen, Dante
Well… not that we know of. But considering teenage Sonny fathered Dante (and didn’t find out about it until decades later) and now we find out that teenage Dante did the same thing, then that establishes a pattern, and there’s probably a toddler somewhere in Bensonhurst who has an unusual ability to play his little Fisher-Price toy violin.
Of course we won’t really find out about that until about 2050. If GH is still on the air, that is.
Oh my God. HILARIOUS!!!!!

GENERAL HOSPITAL Promo: Women on the Edge

General Hospital has released their official video teaser for all-new episodes starting today on September 8 through September 11. In it, several women in Port Charles have reached their breaking point. Who will do or say something they cannot come back from? Let’s take a look!
First, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) in tears and who is wracked with guilt, might be forced to admit her cover-up in driving a car after having a bit to drink to get to her son Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) performance. Brook Lynn believes she was the driver of the other car involved in Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis’ (Donnell Turner) car accident.
In the Quartermaine living room, Trina confronts her with, “Were you the driver who kept going and left them there to die?” What will BLQ say? And, is the moment that Chase (Josh Swickard) is so fed up with his wife, he hightails it to Willow (Katelyn MacMullen)? Stay tuned.

SIX FEET UNDER
Then, with Jack out of the picture (and buried six feet under), Drew (Cameron Mathison) feels vindicated and that he holds all the cards and confronts his now ex-wife for shooting him in the back. Willow blurts out with indignation, “Prove it!” Will this be Willow’s ultimate downfall or Drew’s?
Next, WSB agent Baines (Alimi Ballard) is on the case of Brennan’s disappearance and confronts Carly (Laura Wright) and says, “When was the last time you saw Jack Brennan?”
Will she flip the situation and throw shade at Nina (Cynthia Watros) and tell Baines she heard and saw Nina threatening to kill Jack? We already know Drew is setting Nina to take the fall for Jack’s murder, too!
INTO THE WOODS
Finally, Jason (Steve Burton) has located Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and Anna (Finola Hughes) in the woods. He asks Anna to stop, just as it appears she is going to pull the trigger and end the life of Dr. Britt Westbourne.
Shots are fired after Anna says, “This has to end tonight!” Do you think anyone was on the receiving end of a bullet, or did Jason save the day?
Check out the official GH promo for this week entitled “The Fallout Continues” below and our previously reported additional spoilers for the action in Port Charles here.
Now weigh-in: Do you think GH has several ladies on the brink of disaster? Who do you think will end up A-OK, and whose life do you think may be vastly altered by week’s end? Let us know your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Trina Demands Answers from Brook Lynn, Scout Questions Rocco, and Can Anna Pull the Trigger on Britt?

This week on General Hospital, the week kicks-off on Labor Day with a rebroadcast of the special episode dedicated to Anthony Geary (ex-Luke Spencer). The eight-time Daytime Emmy winning star passed away in December of 2025 and come February 2026, GH crafted a tribute in his honor with the story centering on Luke’s daughter, Lulu (Alexa Havins) mourning the loss of her father.
Then, all-new episodes begin on Tuesday, September 8 and in the video teaser for it, Trina (Tabyana Ali) continues confronting Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) at the Quartermaines, demanding to know if BLQ was behind the wheel of the other car that “caused” the accident that injured Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and her father Curtis (Donnell Turner), who is now spending jail time after being found guilty of assaulting Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) believing he was the other driver who caused the accident.
Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarksi) questions Rocco (Finn Carr), if their first kiss together was “OK?” What will be his answer? Meanwhile, Isaiah continues to question Ava (Maura West), wanting to know where she has been in the last 24 hours that she would have had a very dangerous tick stuck in her scalp? What will she say to get out of the fact that along with Drew (Cameron Mathison), she was burying Jack Brennan’s body in the woods.

Then, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is seen talking with Sonny (Maurice Benard), where she says, “It’s time to change tactics!” Most likely, she is talking about dealing with Drew’s threats. Meanwhile, Drew is on the warpath and Ava tries to talk him down by saying, “Don’t you think calling the sheriff is a little extreme?” Why does Drew want to call the sheriff?
Finally, in the pick up from last Friday’s cliffhanger where Anna (Finola Hughes) pulled a gun on Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in the middle of nowhere, Anna says, “I’m not going to let you stop me!” Who is she talking to? Is it Jason (Steve Burton) who found out Britt’s location … or Britt herself? Stay tuned.

‘General Hospital’s’ Braedyn Bruner Reveals Her Daytime Emmy-Nominated Scenes and How Emma is Getting Her ‘Edge’ Back

The 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards are now just a little over a month and a half away, and General Hospital’s Braedyn Bruner picked up her first nomination for her performances as Emma Drake.
Braedyn received a nod in the Outstanding Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series category along with: Al Calderon (ex-Javi, DAYS) Alice Halsey (ex-Rachel, DAYS) Giovanni Mazza (Gio, GH) Ambyr Michelle (Eva, BTG) and Arielle Prepetit (Naomi, BTG). The winner will be announced in a ceremony held on October 30 in Hollywood, California.
Now, for the first time, Bruner spoke about what she chose to put on her nominated reel that landed her a chance to go for gold. The 25-year-old actress discussed it when she appeared on an all-new episode of the That’s Awesome with Steve Burton (Jason, GH) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli, GH), that dropped this Sunday, September 6.
In speaking of her nominated work, Bruner shared how she went about approaching submitting her reel, which was a conglomeration of scenes from the eligibility year and her first on GH. “The first two scenes on my reel are with Anna (Finola Hughes). The first one is in her office after she arrests Emma at the Quartermaine crypt,” explained Braedyn to her GH co-stars. “I felt like, for me as an actor, that was the first time I understood this character really well. I felt like I had become her in some sort of way, and the things that she stands for and she is willing to fight for.”

Bruner continued, “I also love doing scenes with Finola Hughes. The second scene is with Anna also, sort of a similar setting, but a different time of the year, but it was a scene about what Emma stands for, and how much she wants to be like her grandmother, and how influential and important she is to her. I also had included scenes with Gio as well from the post-Nurses’ Ball fallout. We had a lot of wonderful things that I got to choose from.”
Reflecting on now being on the legendary ABC soap opera for a year and a half, Braedyn told Steve and Bradford, “It’s so crazy looking back on where I started, to where I am now, and I think, I’m so grateful for this job. All I ever wanted to do is to tell stories, and even just saying that I have an Emmy nomination is crazy, because that just feels like a great bonus and such an honor. So, that’s really, really cool.”
Since coming to GH, Braedyn said she felt support all along the way behind the scenes. “I love the relationships that I formed on this show,” she shared. “I always tell people that when they ask me what is it like working on General Hospital, I just always say that I’ve truly never been on a set where every person that you encounter is a joy to be around, helpful and kind and supportive. and wants you to succeed.”

As for what’s ahead for Emma, viewers know that music executive Simon (Grady Eldridge) has been asking Emma’s boyfriend Gio and her friend and his musical partner, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) to play up a “relationship” when they are on stage performing to help sell them as a recording and performing duo, which may cause problems for Emma in the very near future.
“I love that she’s (Emma) getting her edge back,” confirmed Bruner. “I feel like there had been a period where I was just being really cordial and kind. And that’s fun, but I missed the kind of attitude that she had when she came on the show as this animal rights activist and fighting for justice. I missed that. So, I’ve been really enjoying what we are shooting now. ”
You can check out Braedyn’s guest appearance on the That’s Awesome podcast below.
Now let us know, what do you think about Braedyn’s choices for her Emmy scenes that landed her an Emerging Talent nomination? Do you want Emma to have her edge back? Do you think that Gio and Trina might actually wind up together and Emma will be the one left out in the cold? Stay tuned and weigh-in via the comment section.
