For those hoping that Gio’s (Giovanni Mazza) parents would not turn out to be Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), sorry, but the story went as predicted. However, the fallout of the reveal could be very interesting on General Hospital. It all began to unravel itself on the Thursday, February 6th episode.

In story, Lois (Rena Sofer) goes to see Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) for legal advice. She shares that her daughter, Brook Lynn and her husband, Chase (Josh Swickard) are trying to have a baby, but they just found out Chase is sterile. Lois then admits that her daughter already had a child, and that Brook Lynn had a baby in high school and gave it up for adoption. However, the father never knew about the child, which is complicated because of how close their families are.

It’s at that point Lois reveals to Martin that the baby’s father is Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). Lois also shared that the baby was given to someone from her extended family via private adoption, and Brook Lynn never knew about it.

Lois is worried the truth will come out because Brook Lynn has been wondering of late what happened to the child she gave up and so she wants to know from Martin if the adoption papers could be unsealed? After being interrupted by Tracy (Jane Elliot), Lois returns and continues the conversation with Martin.

He says a boy of his age could want to see his birth certificate. Lois says he has no idea he’s adopted. Martin goes on to say if Brook Lynn insists on finding her son, the adoption agency would have to track him down first, and would inform him that he was adopted. Lois panics. Martin asks if she is in contact with this young man? Lois cops to living in the same house with him, and that Brook Lynn and Dante’s son is Gio.

Amanda Setton spoke with Soap Opera Digest on just how Brook Lynn might deal with all of this, sharing,  “It’s eating her up alive. I think that now that the box has sort of been broken open for her, she can’t put it away. She doesn’t know how to tell Chase. She doesn’t want to tell Dante. She believes that all of this is so far in the past and really has no hand in her current life, but as the pieces sort of unfold for herself, logistically, with trying to have a baby and then emotionally with Chase’s difficulty processing his inability to have a baby with her, or with anyone, for that matter…. It’s just hammering away at her and it’s eating her alive and you guys will see that unfold.”

As previously reported, Giovanni Mazza previewed to TooFab that things were about to get very interesting for Gio on-screen, when he said, “The last nine months I’ve sort  of been involved in building my relationships. But now, we’re really going to explore just who, my character, Gio is.”

So are you ready to watch Brook Lynn struggle to cover-up her past? What do you think will happen when Gio’s true biological parents learn the truth? What will happen to Brook Lynn and Chase’s marriage? Will the revelation pit Brook Lynn vs. Lulu over Dante? Share your theories via the comment section below.

This whole storyline is such a steaming pile of dragonshit. We’re now supposed to believe that Lois has known that Gio is her grandson for his entire life, and has concealed this fact from both Olivia and Sonny, her best friends since childhood, even though they are both also his grandparents.

And apparently Sonny’s been paying for this kid’s school for years, with no idea that he’s actually family?

On top of the already ridiculous rewrite where Dante & BrookLynn are now the same age.

Other than propping up this new character, who otherwise wouldn’t have any reason to stay around, I don’t see any practical benefit to this storyline.

Well said.

Satan, I agree with you 100%. fortunately, for you, I haven’t a word to add, you said it all.

We all guessed that Gio would be Brook Lynn and Dante’s son, and I figured Lois kept a secret from BLQ that her son grew up in their family as she had a hand in Gio’s adoption. The fallout from Lois’ secret will effect multiple families, not just Brook Lynn, Chase and Dante. This will involve the Quartermaine, Falconeri, Corinthos, and Cerullo families. How will Chase handle the fact that she shares a son with his partner and best friend, when he can’t have children? How will Ned, Tracy, Olivia and Sonny react to the news that Brook Lynn had a child and they never knew. I think Gio will be hurt by the news more than anyone. He always talks about how much he loved his mother, misses her. Gio’s living with his parents, grandparents and great granny and doesnt know it. The fallout will be very emotional for everyone involved.

Gio will make a fabulous Quartermaine

Love when he goes toe to toe with Tracy, his great- granny.

This has been hinted at for the longest of time, and people kept denying it to be true. Well, guess they thought wrong.

Do i hate the idea that once again the show is rewriting history, and making things up as they go along, YES ! and what puzzles me is that all this is coming from a writing team the head writers no less have been there for years,and their the ones coming up with all this recent plot twist from making sasha and cody cousins, changing the personality of familiar charactrs(emma) a lot of recasting, and its all to much, but I like Gio and I’m not mad if he’s a Quatermaine and Corinthos.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum’s Got Plans to Keep Brennan Out of His Way

Published

On General Hospital, the Wednesday, May 13 episode saw Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) plotting to keep Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) from ever being a problem for him again, as Lucas (Van Hansis) reveals his hopes for a plan to rid the world of Cullum and his co-conspirator, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) in one fell swoop.

At the hospital, Nina (Cynthia Watros) is still freaked out by what she did by jabbing Jack with the dose of medication meant for Drew (Cameron Mathison). Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) comes to the hospital to try to get her mother to get a grip and then heads out to do damage control.

Cullum arrives and questions Nina about Jack’s medical condition. Nina lies and tells Cullum he should talk to Dr. Lucas Jones about Jack. In a tense exchange, Cullum shows Lucas he has documents that make him Brennan’s medical proxy and wants an update on his condition. Britt stumbles upon the scene and comes up with a fake emergency in another patients room to pull Lucas away from the WSB director.

STARING MY BOYFRIEND’S KILLER IN THE FACE

Now alone in the hallway, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) warned Lucas that if he acts like that around Cullum, he will get suspicious. Lucas says they should just tell Sidwell that Cullum stabbed Marco, so Cullum will be killed and Sidwell would be sent to prison. Lucas drops the idea realizing if Cullum dies Britt cannot get her hands on her Huntington’s disease medication. However, Lucas warned Britt how everything would explode once Sidwell found out that Cullum killed Marco, so they have to be certain that they have the evidence that Cullum’s the culprit.

Inside Jack’s room, Cullum tells an unconscious Jack that his stroke may have saved his life, because he planned to kill him. Meanwhile, Willow arrived at Wyndemere to see Sidwell. She explains that Jack accidentally got the dose of Drew’s medication and kept her mother’s name out of it. Sidwell is livid.

TWO MEN HAD “STROKES” AT MY HOUSE!

Willow thinks it’s time to stop drugging Drew so that people would be focusing on his recovery, rather than the odds that two different men had “strokes’ at Drew’s house. Willow threw the responsibility back on Sidwell telling him that he needed to figure out a way to make sure Drew didn’t expose them. Next, Sidwell reminded Willow that he gives the orders around here and not her. For good measure, he threatens that if they were exposed, she would have the most to lose.

At the end of the episode, and at Wyndemere, Sidwell informed Cullum that Brennan had been dosed with Drew’s medication. When Sidwell declared that things would go from bad to worse when Brennan wakes up and out of his locked-in state, then Cullum fired back, “Then he can’t come out of it.”

Meanwhile, Willow unexpectedly shows up at Michael’s (Rory Gibson) office while Jacinda (Paige Herschell) is there.  She demands to talk to her ex-husband now, as the photo of Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow looking close snapped by the private eye is sitting on Michael’s desk.

So, do you think Sidwell should be the one to kill Cullum and then be carted off to prison … 0r, would you like to see Willow get caught for murdering someone since she got away with shooting Drew? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, check out the threatening exchange between Willow and Sidwell from today’s GH.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Rocco is Coming Apart at the Seams

On the Tuesday, May 12 episode of General Hospital, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) was at its epicenter and the secret which is destroying him. Previously, Rocco shot WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) in the back to stop him from killing Jason (Steve Burton) and to save Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). 

However, the consequences of Rocco’s actions are weighing so heavy on him, that now he is starting to crack, and with good reason! While Rocco has been suffering in silence, he is wracked with guilt over Jason taking the fall for him, being carted away by the WSB, and worse yet, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) losing his father.

While Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) confronts “Nathan” (Ryan Paevey) about how he covered-up and “advised” Lulu (Alexa Havins) to stay quiet about the night on the pier which saw Rocco shoot Cullum, Dante can clearly see that the man in front of him seems off. His responses and demands and insights are not those of the good-natured “Nathan.” Will Dante be the one, or the last to know that “Nathan” is really Cassius Faison?

STAY AWAY FROM MY SON

In yet another confrontation, Lulu and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) go at it over Rocco. Lulu blames Britt for Rocco being on the pier at all that night, because Rocco cares about Britt, and she warned her not to get close to Rocco, but Britt did anyway.

Then, at the Quartermaine boathouse, Rocco was shocked to learn that Danny overheard Sonny saying that Jenz Sidwell was responsible for Jason getting taken away, and confided in Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) the intel several weeks ago. Rocco tried to cover his guilt as Danny and Charlotte explained they hadn’t confided in him because he has been so withdrawn lately.

ROCCO AND DANNY AT ODDS

Next, Danny asks Rocco to help him and Charlotte break into Wyndemere. Danny is determined to get info on Sidwell to try to find Jason. It’s at that point Rocco loses it. He shouts that Sidwell is a dangerous man and Danny needs to stay away from him.

In the most surprising turn of event, Rocco threatened both Charlotte and Danny that if they tried to sneak into Wyndemere he would turn them in.

Danny loses his cool and firmly tells Rocco, that unlike him, he didn’t have parents to clean up his problems for him and told Rocco to stay out of his way. As Rocco walked away, he asks Charlotte if she was coming with him. When she refuses, he tells the both to screw off.

THE ONLY PERSON I CAN TALK TO

Later, Britt returns to her room at Bobbie’s and finds Rocco waiting for her. He begins to share with her how freaked out he has been feeling over shooting Cullum. Britt hugs him and attempts to comfort Rocco letting him know he is a hero for saving her life and Jason’s. Britt tells Rocco she can talk to her anytime, as the two hug one more time. We fade to black.

Finn Carr delivered another excellent performance within his storyline. It’s clear GH made the right call by giving this young actor the ball with such a high stakes dramatic and emotional storyline to play.

So, do you think Danny will find out what Rocco did and come after him for letting his dad take the fall for shooting Cullum? Do you think Rocco will continue to turn to Britt, further upsetting Lulu? Will Dante get a clue about Cassius? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, in case you missed it, check out the emotional moments between Rocco and Britt on yesterday’s GH below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina is Frantic, Sonny is Mistrustful, Chase and Willow are Being Framed

The highly-anticipated Monday, May 11 episode of General Hospital picked right back up with the drama; which also sets the tone for today’s next installment of the ABC daytime drama series.

In another excellent performance by Daytime Emmy winner, Cynthia Watros, Nina is watching things unravel right before her eyes, and she is always playing defense to try to cover for the events that just transpired.

Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) ends up on the floor of Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) house unable to move after Nina injected him with the paralytic drug dose meant for Drew. Her intended target was Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), but during the Jack/Valentin Brawl, she struck the wrong guy! Valentin helps Nina turn Brennan on to his back and then makes his exit before anyone sees him as she calls the paramedics who rush Jack to GH.

MAN DOWN

In the meantime, Drew, who has overheard all the screaming in the other room, starts to have mobility in his hands and is trying to reach for the phone since his weekly dose went to Brennan instead of him. Now at the hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) has questions for Nina on how Jack ended up like this; which Nina claims one minute they were talking and all of sudden he dropped to the floor.

A panicked Nina calls Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), who went out for a run and ran into Chase (Josh Swickard). She tells her daughter using cryptic words that Jack got the dose of meds meant for Drew. Alarmed, Willow runs back to Drew’s, but not before having conversations with Chase about how she will help ensure he and Brook Lynn have the best chance at keeping baby Phoebe, after all, they had been through so much when she lost their baby.

SNAPS TELL ALL?

The moments of closeness between Willow and Chase are snapped by a photographer or someone hiding in the bushes as it seems like Michael’s plan to implicate Willow and Chase by making it look like their having an affair is underway. How far will this go?

Meanwhile, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) went at Lulu (Alexa Havins) for keeping him in the dark about Rocco (Finn Carr) being the person who shot Cullum and their elaborate cover-up. Things get worse when Lulu mentioned “Nathan” also knows and helped Rocco the night on the pier of the shooting. Dante is livid that as Rocco’s father, she felt he could not be trusted, and it was for him to figure out how he would navigate the information to protect their son; even if he is the police commissioner. Lulu also shared she did not want to tell him, because of what happened when Michael went to prison all those years ago.

BROTHER TO BROTHER

At Ava’s (Maura West) art gallery, Sonny (Maurice Benard) with gun in hand, rails at Ric (Rick Hearst) for lying and deceiving him. Ric confesses he was being dishonest, but not about anything to do with Sonny or the business. He shows Sonny the secret art transaction he was working with Ava. The reason is, he wanted to surprise Elizabeth with it as they have a special weekend planned. Ric explained that the sale had to be be done covertly because of a legal conflict involving the seller’s divorce. Eventually, Sonny lowers his gun. Cooler heads prevail and the two brothers hope there will come a time where Ric’s loyalty to Sonny will never be in question.

Carly (Laura Wright) learns what happened to Jack from Valentin, and feels badly for Jack. Valentin also tells her Jack does not know where Josslyn is and now that he is incapacitated that means that Cullum will take over the day to day of the WSB bureau in Port Charles and things are about to get worse.

In the final moments of the episode, Willow runs into Drew’s house and stops Drew from dialing the phone near his wheelchair. She scolds her husband and says, “Looks like no one can be trusted to keep an eye on you except me.” we fade to black.

So, what did you think of the performance of Cynthia Watros? How much longer can Nina and Willow get away with what they have done to Drew and now Brennan? Elizabeth already mentioned to Lucas, what are the odds that two men have the same medical issue at the same house.  Are you glad Willow and Chase are being framed, or annoyed by it? Weigh-in via the comment section.  In case you missed it, check out the scenes below with Sonny and Ric, and Ethan and Ava.
