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’s’ Tabyana Ali Weighs In on Who She Thinks is Trina’s Stalker (Exclusive)

Tabyana Ali

On General Hospital, as Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) has launched a music career alongside Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), it was recently revealed that she actually has what seems like an “obsessed” stalker! How do we know? Well, there is a collage of the young woman that said person is continuing to add more photos to as the weeks and months roll on.

There have been several obvious suspects in the way GH has presented the characters. Chief among them music executive, Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) who continually has made statements and has been shooting daggers at anyone getting in the way of his prized recording artist.

At the same time the stalking started, Kai’s friend and former college football teammate, Quinn (Jequan Jackson) showed back up who previously had a falling out with Trina. Might he be playing nice, but wants revenge on Trina?

KEPT IN THE DARK

Fast-forward and now General Hospital fans learned that two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Alley Mills is on her way back to the show as Heather Webber, who previously was known as”The Hook” killer at one point, and is the biological mother of Trina’s sworn enemy, Esme Prince (last played by Avery Pohl).

Esme perished went she went overboard with Trina’s boyfriend, Spencer Cassadine (last played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez) a few years ago into the steely waters below. Could Esme be the one obsessing over Trina, or could it be someone else completely?

In a brand new video interview out on Tuesday, September 29, Tabyana Ali visited You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel and weighed-in on who she thinks could be the culprit! However, Tabyana shared she actually has no idea who it actually will turn out to be.

“The crazy thing is that everybody knows who it is except for me! They’re keeping that secret from me,” revealed Ali. “They want me to be as oblivious as Trina.”

THOSE WHO WENT OVERBOARD AND PRESUMED DEAD

After looking over the potential suspects and with all the theories that have floated about, Tabyana had her top picks! “I would love for it to be Spencer. I would love for it to be Esme. Mostly because I also just want my friends back on set, too. I would love to just see them and hang out with them. I think it definitely could be one of those two,” speculated Ali.

“I think everybody thought it could have been Quinn, or could have been Simon. I think we were all pointing in that direction for a minute, but I thinks that’s too easy”, declares Tabyana. “I think they’re just trying to throw me off, and trying to make it seem like it’s one of them. Now, nobody told me one way or the other about them.”

As soaps go, it’s usually not the first string of suspects who turn out to be the actual person behind the stalking. Tabyana agreed, “If you just know writing in general, if you just know TV in general, if you know soaps in general, you know that’s a game. You know, they set up, set up, set up, and then they really show the reveal. So. I was like, ‘This is just the setup to the reveal, right?'”

As for it being Spencer, it may not because his motives are bad. Ali shared, “It could be Spencer trying to fight his way back to Trina, or Heather trying to get revenge for her dead daughter Esme, or Esme herself. Those are all good ones, I was also playing around with what if it’s Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober)? That would be kind of fun. Don’t know what his motive would be. I know he passed away. He’s dead because of Joss (Eden McCoy), but it’s like everybody comes back alive on soaps, so…”

FROM KAI WITH LOVE

Some fans theorized it could be Trina’s boyfriend, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) or one another option being that the real stalker takes him out. “I think that’s kind of happened to all of Trina’s boyfriends,” lamented Tabyana. “They’ve all kind of gone that way. So, hopefully it doesn’t happen that way. Would it be easier if Kai was the stalker? Okay, yeah, maybe. He’d go to jail for a couple months or whatever. Come on out and then what? He would had to have had a brain-eating amoeba that made him do it. Who knows?” (Laughs)

In the end, are Trina and Kai truly in love? Ali shared her viewpoint and gave a tease, “I think they have love for one another, but to love someone it does take gradual time. I think it’s getting to that point. I think with this music situation as well, it is really proving to Trina that Kai is willing to be there with her every step of the way.”

She continued, “He is supporting her 10 toes down, making sure that she has everything that she needs, to going to every live show. I think this portion of their lives will definitely guide them somewhere else. I think, an ‘I love you,’ might come just around the corner.”

You can check out the full conversation with Tabyana now on the Michael Fairman Channel below.

Then weigh-in, after hearing Tabyana’s thoughts on the matter, who do you think will be proven to be Trina’s stalker? Let us know via the comment section below.

Lulu and Charlotte

The Monday, September 28 episode featured emotional scenes for Lulu (Alexa Havins), Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Charlotte that set the stage for the previously reported exit of Bluesy Burke.

In story, Lulu and Valentin inform Charlotte they are sending her away to boarding school in Maine. The reason: she needs more structure, and more than her parents can give her. Charlotte’s recent actions to try to set up Drew (Cameron Mathison) to make it look like he was making advances to a teenage girl was the last straw for the teenager.

Charlotte, at first, was angered and begging her parents to not make her leave Port Charles. Valentin exits to give Lulu time alone to talk to their daughter.

MOTHER HAS SOME THINGS TO SAY

Now alone, Lulu tries to open her daughter’s eyes as to what could have happened to her if she went through with her plot to videotape Drew with her in his car! Charlotte explains her plan and how she had everything under control, but Lulu asks her what if Drew took advantage of her or hurt her? What if things went terribly wrong? She questions Charlotte, if she even thought about that?

Lulu tried to make Charlotte see that Drew could have sexually assaulted her. Eventually, Charlotte agrees to go to boarding school, as Lulu and Charlotte share a tear-filled goodbye. However, before she leaves town, Charlotte asks her mother to let her say goodbye to Danny (Asher Antonyzyn).

VALENTIN OPENS UP TO ANNA

Meanwhile, Valentin has gone to the Metro Court Gardens and runs into Anna (Finola Hughes). Valentin is distraught sharing he feels like a failure as a father and because of his choices what has become of his daughter. He is devastated. These were also well-played scenes between James Patrick Stuart and Finola Hughes. Anna assures Valentin that sending Charlotte to boarding school is not a bad idea at all.

DANNY IS HEARTBROKEN AND ANGERED

Towards the conclusion of the episode, Charlotte tells Danny she is being sent to Maine to boarding school by his parents. Danny tries to look on the bright side, that Maine is not that far away from New York, and at least she is not being sent overseas.

However, Danny becomes upset when Charlotte tells him that her parents knew what she was planning with Drew, because Rocco had told Carly (Laura Wright).

Danny is confused why Rocco would have ratted her out. Charlotte says to impress Scou (Kayden Brenna Tokarski). The two teens hug with Charlotte promising that she’d be back, and Danny telling her he would here for her once she returned to Port Charles.

So, what did you think of the scenes between Lulu, Valentin and Charlotte? Did Lulu raise good points to her daughter about Drew, to scare her enough to realize actions have consequences? Will you miss Bluesy Burke? Let us know via the comment section, but first take a look at the opening scenes featuring the trio that sets-up Charlotte’s farewell, for now, below.

Bluesy Burke

On the Monday, September 28 episode of General Hospital, Charlotte Cassadine was sent away from Port Charles to boarding school in Maine, thus ending the run, for now, of Bluesy Burke.

Burke’s tenure with the ABC soap and the future of Charlotte were left up in the air and a hot topic for many GH fans over this past weekend when her parents, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) agreed their daughter should get far away from Port Charles. Now we can confirm, while the character is being written of the canvas, that doesn’t mean we have seen the last of Bluesy.

In real-life, the young actress is going off to college and also out of state. General Hospital’s executive producer, Frank Valentini explained via a statement to Soap Opera Digest, “Bluesy is still a part of the General Hospital family, and we worked it out so that she will come back on her holidays and school breaks. We are incredibly proud of her as she begins this exciting new chapter and starts her college journey.”

BLUESY GOT THE STAMP OF APPROVAL FROM GH EP

GH fans first saw Bluesy take over the role of Charlotte Cassadine back in September of 2025. Prior to Burke, the role was played by Scarlett Fernandez from 2014-2025.

Bluesy shared with SOD, that she was able to work things out with Valentini and General Hospital so she could make returns while in college. “I love my job and I didn’t want to leave it,” expressed the actress. “But I spoke to Frank and just kind of laid it all out there and let him know what my situation was and he was in full support of me going to college. When I told him I was thinking of taking a gap year, he was like, ‘No, you have to go to college, that’s so important and we will be here for you.’”

COLLEGE VS. THE SOAP A DIFFICULT CHOICE

In the difficult choice of going off to college or continuing in her professional career acting on GH, Burke acknowledged that when she heard the door would be left open for her return, that it, “meant the world to me, and really made me feel better about making the decision.”

Burke also shared that on her final tape date before heading off to school, that Valentini was already asking her when her next availability, and window would be to come back to tape all-new episodes as Charlotte.

So, happy to know Bluesy is able to go off to college and return when she is able to during her school year and the holidays? Are you upset that Valentin and Lulu decided, in story, to send Charlotte away from Port Charles in the first place? What will become of Danny?
