Spoilers for General Hospital Although there isn’t any concrete proof yet, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) might be Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri’s (Giovanni Mazza) biological father.
We do know, however, that Dante and Amanda Setton’s character, Brook Lynn Quartermaine, obviously have a secret from their past. When Brook Lynn allowed Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) to pay her to end Dante and Lulu Falconeri’s (Emme Rylan) relationship, we also know that she wasn’t exactly a saint in the past.
General Hospital Spoilers — Dirty Little Secret
Brook Lynn has carried so much shame over the many poor decisions she’s made in her life. This is one of them. While she may not regret having given her child up for adoption so he could have a better mother than the person she was at the time, she might have lied to everyone involved the whole time, too.
If Gio is her son and she has no idea, then that means Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) orchestrated his upbringing to keep him close while not letting Brook Lynn and Dante know the truth. But what if Dante was never the father?
GH Spoilers Tease That Girl Got Around
Initially, Brook Lynn took the bait from Carly because she was a bad girl who sometimes did bad things and she really couldn’t stand Lulu. It was a cake job being paid to hurt someone she already loathed — and being paid to go after a guy she kind of already liked.
While we were led to believe Brook Lynn drugged Dante to make it look like they hooked up when they didn’t, what if they did? That would certainly bring on some more shame.
Or, what if they continued to hook up later on and Lulu never knew? It’s possible that he could have gotten Brook Lynn pregnant, but it’s also possible the tryst she immediately had with Nikolas — after her scheme with Carly was exposed — may have borne a fruit called Gio.
General Hospital Spoilers — This Changes Everything
If Brook Lynn led her mom to believe her baby was Dante’s, then all bets are off when the truth comes out. She’ll have to confess her lies, which will at least clear Lois of any wrongdoing as it may appear she lied to Sonny.
But wait, Brook Lynn likely has no idea that Sonny knows, and so his outburst when he learns the truth — that Gio isn’t his grandson — could lead him to blowing their cover entirely and letting it slip who Gio is.
How will that change things for Dante discovering his father knowingly kept his alleged son from him? How will it change things for Brook Lynn learning her mom worked with Sonny to set up this arrangement so they would always know Gio while Brook Lynn and Dante/Nikolas wouldn’t?
How will it change things when Nikolas — and Mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis) — hear about it? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to find out.
