General hospital Sees Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) having this growing animosity towards Gio Palmeri (Giovanni Mazza) from nowhere. He is his secret son. And so it looks like another overhaul of the same old plot as GH Love to do where there is a secret and child secret relationship and they do not hate each other before they discover that they are linked.
Do you know how many times GH did this? It’s a lot. We are going to talk about it. It is Belynda of the dirt of the soap. And we will look back very quickly how GH Always make people hate each other while building secret paternity or a maternity connection. It is, I think, at least the fifth time as they did. And now they play again with Dante and Gio.
Dante’s sudden animosity towards Gio: another parent conspiracy from the general hospital?
So, at the moment, the people who know Dante are Gio’s father are Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer), his mother Gloria Cerullo (Ellen Travolta) and Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) the lawyer. I think that’s about it. But Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) on the case and it seems that she is about to understand him and blow up all this big.
And this aversion that Dante has for Gio, she came out of blue. It is very poorly placed, not organic and very clumsy. It’s very forced. That’s what I feel when I looked at him, honestly. He feels artificial and out of character for Dante. Obviously, he was afraid of what Rocco Falceroni (Finn Frances Carr) did, but Gio has clearly hurt anything about the university party where Rocco got drunk.
General hospital: field played?
And what is funny is that I watched the episode on Monday and my husband traveled my office and said: “GH will hate Dante Gio as they did with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Dante.” I laughed and I said to myself: “Oh, they would not start again.” And then a few minutes later, I said to myself: “Ah, my husband called him. They start him again.”
Everyone thought that Gio was a big child to this alcohol poisoning incident. We have not heard a nasty word about it. And then suddenly, blamed Gio, who did not take him to the party, did not know that he was there, none of that. And he even threatened criminal charges.
They make Dante Gio in a very transparent ploy to replay history again. It is, as I said, the fifth time it happens. Maybe more, but five. This is the fifth time that I remember. Do you remember the other four times two characters hate each other before a big parent and a child reveal? We are going to talk about it.
First story of secret son of the general hospital: Sonny and Dante’s Shocking Reveal
So, speaking of Dante, let’s talk about him and Sonny first. If you looked General hospital For a while, you will remember that when Dante came for the first time to Port Charles, he had no idea that Sonny was his father, and vice versa. Sonny did not know either. Dante’s mother, Olivia Falconeri (Lisa Locicero), fell pregnant in adolescence, but she never said Sonny and raised her as a single mother.
And then here, a few decades later, Dante appeared in Port Chuck as an infiltrated cop using a false name. He was trying to descend Sonny because he was a mafia boss, you know. And Dante obtained the goods on him, but he felt guilty of having built a case against Sonny because they had come closer. And when the mandate arrived, at the end, Dante was like: “Okay, I have to do my job.”
He went to stop Sonny and then Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sonny understood that Dante was a cop. Son put a trap and he pulled Dante point empty. He almost killed him. Olivia showed up and shouted to Sonny that he had just shot his own son. This is how Sonny discovered her child.
Dante has almost died. He recovered. He did not make up for Sonny for shooting him. And although they are close now, Dante and Sonny have conflicted over the years because they have been on the opposing sides of the law. Now, here we are, we get a secret scenario of secret sound with Gio and Dante. And although it is not identical to the history of Sonny and Dante, the atmosphere and the intention are almost the same.
Sam and Alexis secret mother-daughter: a story of conflict and connection
Then you cannot forget Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Things took a bad start when Sam was pregnant with Sonny at the same time as his daughter and the daughter of Alexis, Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), who was little at the time, was sick.
And Alexis wanted Sam to induce the work early so that they could use the stem cells of his umbilical cord to save Kristina because they were half-sisters. And Sam was very reluctant. She knew it would be risky, but in the end, she accepted. And then of course, unfortunately, baby Lila is dead.
So there was a lot of Sam resentment targeting Alexis. And then things got worse when his brother Danny Morgan was dying of an encephalitis. Alexis also had it and obtained the vital serum when Danny did not do it. And then he died. And of course, Sam appointed his son Danny (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) after his brother Danny.
General hospital: fallout from the family of secret children
Just before her death, Danny told Sam that she had been adopted. And it happened at the same time as its aversion to Alexis intensified. And of course, later, when Sam discovered that Alexis was her mother, she was not delighted. Things became even more messy between Sam and Alexis when Sam slept with Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) when he was married to Alexis.
Worse, when Sam and Ric act on the living room carpet, Alexis actually seen them out the window. I remember so very well. And finally, Sam and Alexis became this wonderful mother-daughter relationship. And then of course, she tragically lost Sam when Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kuber) murdered it last year. It was still another artificial scenario to ensure that a parent and a child hate himself in front of the great revelation.
The difficult path of Nina and Willow: discover a secret mother relationship on GH
Then I was able to talk about Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Willow Tait (Katelyn Macmullen), right? They don’t hate each other. It was at the time when Michelle Stafford played the role of Nina. And at the time, Willow was the teacher of Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez), and Nina was her devoted mother-in-law. It was then that she was with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
Thus, Nina Hassled Willow. She accused her of being unfair and nasty to Charlotte. And as he turned out, Willow was right. Charlotte was wrong because the child was a school intimidator. And Nina tried to turn Willow.
And Nina would probably have managed to perform without a petition signed by many other parents saved Willow’s work. Meanwhile, Nina was on a mission to find her long lost daughter for which she gave birth during this 20 -year -old coma. And it turns out that her daughter was Nelle Benson (Chloé Lanier).
General Hospital: Twin Twist fails?
But there was more to come because Harmony Miller (Inga Cadranel) turned out to be the organic mother of Willow and Nina. So they made a lot of recurrence stuff. It turns out that Nina had twin girls in a coma and her horrible mom Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills) wanted children to leave Nina’s life because she hated Silas Clay (Michael Easton), the father of the twins.
So Nelle died in the interval and Nina thought she would never be a mom and then twin torsion. And immediately, Nina wanted to put their past behind them so that she could be a mother in Willow, but she rejected her and it was only a lot of back and forth. They are in a good place now, of course, but he seems condemned because of Nina’s plot against Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison). I have the impression that the relationship of Willow and Nina is on time borrowed.
The Original Gh Secret Parent Hate Story: Bobbie and Carly’s Volatile Beginnings
And finally, but in no case will we go back in time in the very first of these scenarios on which I remember GH, Who is Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) and Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright). Things with them were particularly volatile because Carly came to Port Charles Hellbent to destroy her biological mother, Bobbie.
So, this first story was slightly different because Carly knew that Bobbie was her mother when she came to town, unlike the other reveals where the child and the parent were in darkness. So, that’s why I saved this one for the end, but it was really the genesis of all that they continue to repeat and repeat and repeat, every 10 years. Carly did not have the best childhood, and she wanted Bobbie. She thought that her mother had this charmed life in Port Charles and had just kicked her side.
Of course, Carly had no idea of the rough and tragic education of Bobbie, living in a brothel in adolescence, working as a prostitute for years. Everything Carly saw was this beautiful comfortable life that Bobbie had worked very hard and she wanted to destroy it. Thus, Carly seduced Bobbie’s husband, Tony Jones (Brad Maule) and destroyed their marriage.
It was an obstacle to overcome for them, but they finally made and had a moving mother relationship to the sad pass General Hospital, And it seems that they will follow suit with Dante and Gio. I hope they do not only make Gio and Dante hate each other before it is revealed that they are father and son and I hope the bomb falls as soon as possible. We will have to wait and see.
