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: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.
In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.
Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.
Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?
In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.
ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION
Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.
Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.
ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA
In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.
It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.
So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first check out the scenes featuring Anna on her road to recovery in France

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Drops First Single EDM/Dance Track ‘If You Need Me’

Last weekend, we shared the news that General Hospital alum and Daytime Emmy winner, Chad Duell (ex-Michael Corinthos) was releasing his first single today on June 26th and it has indeed dropped! And for those readers who guessed that Duell’s first track out of the gate was going to be an EDM/Dance/House track … you are correct, sir!
The song entitled, “If You Need Me” is perfect for the late night clubs and can be found on Spotify and other major streaming platforms! Duell is noted as the performing artist, but as the composer/ lyricist and the beatmaker of the track. For his music projects, Chad is going solely by the name of “Duelly” which has been his social media handle for years.
Taking to his Instagram on Friday, Duell explained his deep dive into making music, expressing, “I’ve wanted to make music for a long time… I just never did it. It always felt like this huge, overwhelming thing to learn. All the technical side of it, the programs, everything that goes into actually building a track… it was easy to keep pushing it off. A couple months ago I finally just decided to go for it.”

BIT BY BIT PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Chad added, “Since then I’ve been putting in a lot of time learning, experimenting, figuring things out, and slowly starting to find a sound I’m really proud of. This first release is more of a dance/EDM vibe, but I’ve also been working on a lot of different styles behind the scenes that I’m just as excited about. At some point I realized I could keep holding onto everything trying to make it perfect… or I could just start putting music out and grow as I go.”
Stepping out of his own way, Duell firmly says, “So that’s what I’m doing. My first track “If You Need Me” is out now. More coming soon… this is just the beginning.”
As GH viewers know, Chad made the decision to step away from General Hospital after a 15-year run with the series where his last episode aired in January of 2025. By May of last year, the role was recast with Rory Gibson debuting in the part.
Give a listen below to Duelly’s “If You Need Me,” and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Did You Think of the Return of Anna Devane, and What’s In the Letter?

Finola Hughes made her dramatic return on-screen on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of General Hospital. Viewers will see Finola as Anna Devane again on tomorrow’s June 26th episode.
In the story, while in the French mental health facility, Anna has a session with Dr. Laurent. She tell her she now knows she was never kidnapped and that Cesar Faison is dead.
As she continued with her ruse, she went on to say she understands she was enlisted back into the WSB on a secret mission, and through that she relived all the trauma she endured by Faison, which caused her to have a psychotic break. Anna promises Dr. Laurent that her treatment plan had helped her so much in figuring out what was real, and what was in her imagination.

ANNA’S GOT HER OWN PLAN TO ESCAPE
In a smart move (hopefully) Anna told Laurent if she could talk to someone else who had known Faison that it might aid in her recover. She was given the phone and she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), who agreed to fly to France in the morning. Dr. Laurent claims she is pleased with Anna’s progress, but that they still have a very long long way to go.
Now by herself, Anna pulled out a packet of letters from a bedside table. There is one in particular that she is fixated on. What does it contain? Is this all a part of her escape plan? Will she warn Felicia that “Nathan” is really Cassius (Ryan Paevey)? If so, will Felicia even believe her?
In a summer preview with Soap Opera Digest, GH co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten shared, “We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”
So, were you happy to see Anna Devane back on your screens? What do you think is in the particular letter she was staring at? Will Felicia help Anna escape or not believe a word she says? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, you can check out some of the scenes from Anna’s on-screen return below.
