I agree that Lulu is being smug about what she found out. However, Gio likely having a meltdown about his life and all the lies is entirely Lois and Gloria's fault. She found out recently and has not yet said anything to Gio, but even if she did, she's not the one who claimed to love him all the while betraying his trust. Lois and Gloria have chosen to lie to Gio, Brook Lynn and Dante's faces for 22 for years. As of now, we know (from a conversation with Chase) that the reason Brook Lynn never told Dante she had his baby is because when she tried to get him to cheat on Lulu with her, he was in love and uninterested. Brook Lynn has had dozens of opportunities to tell Dante the truth and Lois and Gloria have had countless opportunities to be honest as well. We know the reasons for keeping silent had nothing to do with them being scared Sonny as grandfather would endanger the child, so when the secret blows up it's really their own fault(s).

It seems like he will, soon. NuLulu and Dante both behave like he belongs there esp. in the hours/days since both said they're in love with each other (although they haven't physically acted on it because he's still grieving and because Rocco was just in the hospital). Rocco and Danny are spending significant time there for chores as punishment as either Lulu or Dante direct them to do. The most likely scenario IMO is Dante needs space from Lois, Brook Lynn, Chase, etc. upon finding out about his son and the lies, so Lulu agrees that Rocco can live there permanently and Dante can stay as long as he wishes. Danny will probably continue to split his time because he wants to still sleep in the same house with Jason and spend time with him when Jason remembers to play dad. As for today: So sweet to see 22-year-old Gio play his violin for his 6-year-old (?) Aunt Donna. Of course they are not yet aware that Gio is her nephew. It's also gross that Lois watches Gio with pride and is all "how cute" while withholding an important truth from Gio and the little girl. (I don't care that she's withholding from Sonny.) She and Gloria even lied to Gio about his real birthday. Ugh. I rolled my eyes at seeing Brook Lynn, Kristina, Sonny and Gio together and Gio saying "family." I assume he'll go to stay with Sonny when the secret blows up. Am I the only one who finds it weird that Lucas asked Elizabeth about romantic/sexy times between her and his cousin? Yes I know Lucas and Lucky aren't biologically related, but they were still raised as cousins. Interesting to hear Elizabeth confirm she's always been in love with Lucky but also say "I want to believe" she and Lucky can make a relationship work this time and references Luke calling him "cowboy." How long has it been since JJ and NLG shared a scene? I hate that it was all about Kristina and protecting Alexis' daughters. Is this a set up for JJ to exit when his contract ends? So Dante is still furious with Gio for not acting like an adult by calling him or Lulu when he saw Rocco unconscious. Dante wants to hold someone over age 18 responsible and Gio is the convenient plot point in this crappy storyline. I felt sorry for teary-eyed Rocco because you can see how horrible he feels about Dante being mad at both Gio and Danny. I know the "only" was supposed to be ironic and an anvil about Gio, but it made Dante sound like he doesn't consider Danny to be his child too. Lulu is being really smug upon assuming Brook Lynn lied in the confrontation, now that she has a confidante and supporter in Cody. Preview: Now Drew wants Laura to be collateral damage in his plans? Ugh.

Yes, there should be separate tribute episodes. I think the only characters who were around at the time of the rivalry and have still been on the Show in recent years are Tracy, Laura, and Scotty. Tracy, Ned, and somewhat Jason should be the lead characters on a Monica tribute episode because JE, WK and SB worked with LC the longest and the most as family. After that, of the current cast members, I think GF and BHerbst have worked with her the longest. Laura, Lucky and Lesley Lu should be the lead characters on a Lesley tribute episode. Maybe there are old clips of JJ and DA that could be used? I don't remember. I know the late TC had scenes with her when Grandma Lesley was trying to get Nikolas to spend time with (child) Spencer. I assume there are old clips of Scotty interacting with Lesley when he and Laura were together. Hopefully Kevin would appear for the death of his MIL.

Now Boyle is complaining about Laura having breakfast with her own children in public and taunting mother and daughter? Ugh, go away dude. I personally am thrilled to see GF having a scene with both JJ and AH since it's so rare. Laura deserves to spend time with her Spencer kids after so much time apart. Lucky being very subdued instead of all smiles about living with Elizabeth and their son is appropriate because he's lying about her accident. Then Ric doing the same thing to her face while bragging about his new car (that he got with blackmail money) was worse and gross. Stella is funny. I can tolerate dull Kai if she's in the scene. Good throw-away line from Dante about the boys planting for Lulu/their punishment continues. But the self-righteousness from Kristina about Alexis, ugh. At least Dante can tell she's withholding something from him. I don't think Willow could be any more naive and a complete idiot and then she surprises me. Now your "love" thinks he's brilliant for framing your burn victim husband as an absentee father by choice since he didn't go to Baltimore, and you don't vocally react?? LoL at Jason snapping at Carly and once again, and she thinks she's going to handle the problem she created. Because that thinking has worked out so well for her in the past. Re: preview - Lucky doesn't get to ask Alexis or anyone else why Ric's lying when he is also lying.

Absolutely. They lied to a half dozen or so people and continue to lie to their faces. They don't want their lies to be discovered because it would blow up their lives by people esp. Brook Lynn, Gio, and Sonny being hurt and turning on them. Not to mention that when Gio lost his mother at age 12 (mentioned several times now), Brook Lynn and Dante could have served as parental types because they would have been about 25 and 30 years old. There was no good reason for Lois, Gloria and the cousin to never tell him he was adopted and to tell him his father died before he was born. It's cruel to let a child mourn a lie.

Rocco and Danny are essentially extended family in addition to considering themselves brothers. Rocco's mother Lulu is Nikolas Cassadine's (half)sister; Nikolas and Danny's mother Sam are (or were, now) cousins. Soon Rocco will find out Gio is his (half)brother and Danny will find out Gio is his cousin (because Jason and Brook Lynn are cousins). Imagine Rocco's lines: "You're my brother, but you were already family anyway. My uncle is your cousin and now my brother is also your cousin. "

Gio was at the party. That's why Danny went to him for help getting Rocco up and back to the Q boathouse. Dante blamed himself for not having awareness of where Rocco and Danny were after he called Rocco, in that conversation with Sonny. I think he actually wanted/suggested that the boys go with Yuri to the Woodchucks game? But Danny said to Rocco, let's crash this party instead!

It was clear in today's episode that he had no intention of trying to charge Danny with anything/ He was trying to stress to Jason how serious this situation was when Jason was nonchalantly all "He knows he was wrong. It's not going to happen again." It was interesting to see that Jason actually seems to care about Dante's opinion of him as a parent. Hey Jason, when Lois of all people knows more about how your son and Rocco behave together as brothers, that should be all the proof you need that you are a bad father. There was some self-awareness that he was so focused on Sonny and his health that he had no idea where his kid was or what he was doing. Danny showed up on her doorstep today to apologize. They had a good, brief conversation. It's not like she went to the Q mansion and confronted him. I thought Lulu did a good job of talking with the two boys today. She didn't yell or force Danny to do anything. I liked seeing the boys working together and Danny apologizing to Rocco. Dante seemed pleased that the boys were working together like brothers in Lulu's home. He talked to the two of them as brothers. Rocco completely owned what he did, to Danny alone and to his dad alone. Is this leading to Lulu, Charlotte, Rocco, Danny, and Dante living together as a family in her home? Jason says the bare minimum as a father to Danny and then realizes he has to "make changes" while Lulu and Dante do the actual parenting of these boys. Good to see Lois apologize to Dante for implying that he's a negligent father and Dante apologizing too. I thought for sure the psychic lady who is now Alexis and Diane's secretary was going to say something to Chase and Brook Lynn that the son she wonders about is okay and very close to her. Lulu, Tracy looks displeased with you.

He didn't say AJ became an alcoholic at 14; he told Danny that AJ started drinking when he was "a few years older than you" and his choices hurt people. Jason knows that young AJ was an alcoholic and he knows the facts that they were in car wreck together (that damaged his own brain) and why. I thought he was remembering the aftermath of the accident and years following that, Emily, Monica, Alan, etc. being emotionally wrecked over it all.

Danny also put the first cup of alcohol in Rocco's hands. Rocco started drinking it when he was acting nervous because he was so uncomfortable being there. Then he participated in the drinking game (off-screen) when Danny wasn't near him. Does Dante know the details? I saw the scene where he told Laura a few details but I missed it if Rocco told his dad everything. Dante and the three kids really need therapy or family counseling. In 14 months (early March 2024 to early May 2025), Dante got (nearly fatally) shot, Danny's presumed dead father returned, Dante's fiance/Danny and Scout's mom died suddenly and then it turned out she was murdered, Dante's ex-wife/Rocco's mom returned to their lives after a 4-year coma, the boys essentially lost their relationship with Scout because her selfish father took her away from the Q mansion and is very controlling, Rocco got his sister back, and now Rocco is in the hospital with alcohol poisoning. That's a lot of stress and upheaval for Dante as an adult, let alone a couple of teenage boys and a little girl.

Since this incident involved alcohol, was he thinking of when he was in the car accident with AJ (trying to stop him from drunk driving) that made him change from Jason Quartermaine to Jason Morgan? Yes, I know he doesn't remember prior to waking up in the hospital, but he knows the facts of what happened and why he got in the car. It's not surprising that from his perspective, he is taking responsibility for Danny seriously. He moved back into the Q mansion where his son lives and turned down Sonny's request that he take over the biz. For a guy who spent little to no time with Danny when he was a child and then let him think he was dead for more than two years, that is a big deal to go from absentee parent to "present/devoted dad." Fathers who genuinely know what it means to take fatherhood seriously and be devoted to their children in a healthy way, would likely say what Jason has done is the bare minimum of what his kid deserves.

Yes, Lois was vile! Dante sent the boys to the Q boathouse to clean up their mess and while they were there, he was having the conversation with Lulu about the hostility between her and Brook Lynn and Chase. You are correct. Dant just told Lulu (after Lois stalked away in anger) that when he was out of line, his uncles and his mom held him accountable. When Gio was out of line, Lois's brothers tried to discipline him/hold him accountable but Lois and Gloria would always "swoop in." Dante told Lulu they shouldn't go to the Woodchucks game because he just saw how openly hostile Chase is to Lulu and heard that Brook Lynn is really, really angry and upset that Lulu is writing a story about adoption. It sounds like they were going to go to the Woodchucks game with Brook Lynn and Chase and maybe some other Qs. Dante then called Rocco as he and Danny were finishing cleaning up their mess in the Q boathouse, to say we're not going to the game. I think he suggested Yuri could take them to the game? Danny then got excited and said hey, we can go crash this party instead. Dante must have thought the kids were still on the Q property because they certainly didn't ask for permission from parents to go to the party. Rocco has only been parented in his teen years by both Lulu and Dante for a few months now. The feeling of seeing them together for him is still new and fragile. You are correct.

She really is. Her line that she and Gloria were there for Gio when his parents couldn't be ... hard for Dante to be there for his son when he didn't know he existed, because of Brook Lynn and especially you lying to him! It's double b.s. because Lois and Gloria have led Gio to believe his dad was a service member who died before he was born. He has never had a father. Lois clearly thinks that after her cousin died, she and Gloria raised Gio to be an adult who is incapable of lying or bad judgement. I saw Dante getting angrier because Lois followed them after Dante said "private", kept interjecting and defending Gio. She literally won't allow Dante to doubt his word or say anything against him. Lois is outraged that Dante won't just take Gio's word on faith, because she always will and she secretly knows that Gio is his son. She wasn't present on scene to actually know what happened and neither was Dante, so her antagonizing Dante didn't help matters. All she did was escalate the situation when she felt attacked for "coddling" Gio. Dante has a need to hold someone from that party, older than a teenager, accountable for his son drinking (esp. after not getting justice with Cyrus), and so at the moment he is blaming Gio for poor judgement. Lois has a need not to feel guilty and like she's an excellent "aunt" aka secret grandmother, so she is all "poor Gio, Dante you're a bad parent/weren't there for Rocco" as she walks away.

ALWAYS! Her second child Morgan is presumed dead because of a Mob world car bomb. Her first child was shot in the head as a tween, while standing near Sonny. Yet she still re-married him. As an adult, her first child literally caught on fire from an explosion meant for Sonny and is recovering from severe burns. Yet still Carly and Sonny are all "you can't get rid of me" to each other. Her third child shot someone to death and she has no idea. Her youngest child took "daddy's vitamins" without asking and didn't want to share, which resulted in a trip to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. She was rewarded with popsicles. Right now, Lois gets my award for second worst mother for lying to her daughter's and son-in-law's faces every day (including today, about why she's so upset re: Gio and Dante), lying to everyone else including Gio, and bashing the other half of her daughter's family while living in their home as a freeloader. Lois is delusional if she genuinely thinks Brook Lynn wouldn't want to know her son is doing fine and living right there in her own home. Lois is protecting herself and Gloria. Lulu has had a scene with Rocco in her new home since she moved in (they hugged and he told her he does want to spend time there) and he was in Lulu's house with Danny when Dante told them to go clean up their mess in the Q boat house. He hasn't been seen a lot on-screen prior to this plot point, but we know from a few scenes and dialogue in various episodes that he has been spending time with his mom consistently.

I understand that Dante's point is Gio is legally an adult and no longer a teenager (age 21 I think?) but is still talking like he's a kid by trying not to narc on a teenager when it was a serious situation. Threating to arrest Gio was a bit over the top, but it was an empty threat since he didn't have handcuffs and wasn't on duty. As for today: GF for the win! I really loved Grandma Laura's chat with Rocco, seeing Laura, Dante and Lulu rally together in his hospital room with love, the Laura-Lulu hug and the Dante-Rocco unconditional love moment. Lois can take her righteous indignation and shove it since she's still lying. I can't with her attitude like Rocco has a no big deal minor concussion and her poor baby Gio is the one really suffering. Good for Chase standing up for Dante when Lois was complaining about him to them. Alexis, PLEASE stop being a coward. I'm begging you. Dante talking to Jason about Danny tomorrow should be interesting.

Seriously. Dante walked away with Gio to speak in private, so Lois followed to make sure Dante didn't get to speak to him privately because she does indeed think of/see him as a child. She is determined to protect her secret precious grandbaby. Was she concerned at all about Rocco, her grandbaby's brother, who almost died? Didn't look like it. Danny told Carly he only held a cup and then went off to play volleyball so he didn't consume any alcohol. But he still took a cup of alcohol and pressured Rocco to hold a cup, to look cool and socialize. His actual family, Aunt Molly, is available. Yes, I know she has not raised children to adulthood, but it would be good for him to know how courts view his and Rocco's actions in the event Rocco had gone into a coma or died. That could certainly make them think about the future. Also, Carly was wrong about something - Rocco is not Danny's "little brother." Danny should be younger. If not for SORASing Danny up to 14ish he should be 11/12 years old.

The doctor just told Dante and Lulu that Rocco would most likely be in a coma had Cody not made the decision that Rocco needed to go to the hospital immediately. Dante is still traumatized by Sam's unexpected death after worrying for weeks or months by comatose Lulu's bedside that she would die. Now he sees his son is in a hospital bed, unconscious at first. I think the words about coma and near death of his child after so much trauma just six months ago was too much for him.

I agree Gio was not responsible for Rocco deciding to drink. Rocco and Danny made poor adolescent decisions. But I don't think Dante was wrong to call out Gio. If Gio wants to be perceived as an independent college student and responsible adult than he should behave like one. IMO he became the responsible adult as soon as he knew this younger boy was in real trouble. "I didn't want him/them to get in trouble" is a childish response in a serious situation and Lois isn't helping by forever coddling Gio because he's her secret grandson. Danny is still a child who thinks like a child, which is why he didn't call Dante and Lulu. This is what, the third or fourth time he's shown poor/dangerous/reckless judgement? Drinking, sneaking out, confronting Cyrus ...

The audience hasn't specifically been told. Danny was grounded for getting drunk and brought home to Dante and Sam by the police. The kids knew Danny was in trouble/being punished (Scout mentioned it) but the adults have not said whether they talked to both boys about alcohol.

Lois deserves every bit of anger she's going to get from Dante when the truth comes out. "Gio did what he thought was right" ?? Lois seems more upset that Gio got teary eyed than that a boy has alcohol poisoning. That's going to be her own defense, too. Hey Lois, would that defense work for you if Brook Lynn was the one in the hospital, unconscious? Gio showed in the confrontation with Dante that while he's technically an adult, he still thinks like a kid. Dante and Lulu in tears together as the doctor basically said Cody saved Rocco's life, was rough to watch. I actually don't think Dante was too hard on Gio and I enjoyed watching him blast Lois for "swooping in". God forbid she let Gio talk to Dante alone. "You don't know who he really is!!" So go ahead, Lois, explain because you can't handle watching Dante be mad at the son he doesn't know is his and you think poor Gio doesn't deserve this. Lucky, stop being SUCH a coward with Kristina. Hey, how's Elizabeth, the love of your life doing, btw? Ugh that Carly has taken it upon herself to play mother to Danny. Why didn't lightning strike her when she spoke of taking responsibility? It was odd though to see Danny more emotional over Rocco almost dying than he was when his mom actually died. Yes, I know he feels guilty, but his mother was there his entire life. Ava and Ric are gross. Alexis is weak.

I feel like Lois decided not to give her grandson up despite what she told Brook Lynn about supporting the decision, or she wouldn't have given the baby to someone in her family to raise (as she watched nearby) instead of a couple going through an adoption agency and the regular legal process to become parents. There was no valid reason for anyone to tell Gio he had a father who died in service to his country before Gio was born. He mourned a lie. In a way, Lois agreed with Tracy. She decided the baby should be raised by family - hers. Not the Quartermaines. You could hear the contempt Lois shows for her ex's family (despite her now living with them as a freeloader). She flat-out said "I wanted better for my grandson." Even if her teenager hadn't sworn her to secrecy, it sounds like she felt Ned's family didn't deserve to know there was a new Quartermaine baby after the way she - Lois - had been treated by Tracy, etc. The fact is, Lois lied to her daughter and did what she wanted instead of respecting the real spirit of Brook Lynn's wishes. She doesn't want the truth coming out because she and Gloria are afraid not of "ruining lives" as they claim but of the wrath and hurt from Brook Lynn, Dante and Rocco, Gio, Olivia, Ned, Tracy and especially Sonny after decades of lying to their faces about their own family. Gio should feel especially betrayed by "Aunt Lois" (Grandma) and great grandmother Gloria.

Did you see Carly today telling Lulu she had no right to tell Dante Brook Lynn's secret and that she, Michael and Jason were happy as a family until Robin ruined it? That Robin and Jason's relationship was forever changed after she told AJ the truth? It seemed like in a roundabout way, Lulu reminded Carly of when she went to Jason and berated him to go be a father to Jake. I agree with Cheyanne above. I was greatly amused that Carly is still bitter that playing the "my/our son Michael" card didn't ultimately win her Jason's heart.

Good question. The preview shows Dante angry at Gio and Carly talking privately/separately with Danny. Maybe Dante and Lulu will decide they want Rocco to live with her and Charlotte now because Rocco living around Danny and Gio has led to Rocco having his stomach pumped. One of my projections was that the boys showing up at a college party where Gio, Emma and Joss were for thumbdrive gate was a plot point set-up for Gio to save his for now unknown younger brother. The positive thing is Dante having a conflict with Gio about Rocco must mean he and Gio will both find out the truth soon. Let's move this along. I am really really, really tired of hearing the words "my baby" out of Brook Lynn's mouth.

Lulu only knows Brook Lynn and Dante had a son. Lois told Martin (just out of ear shot of Gio and others in the Q mansion) that the young man there - Gio - is the child of Brook Lynn and Dante. Brook Lynn also told her OB/GYN doctor that she had a baby in the past, when she and Chase were a little frustrated that she wasn't pregnant after a few months of trying to conceive. They both decided to have tests done about fertility, and here we are now. He's still passed out; Danny found out and went back to the party and asked Gio (of course) for help getting Rocco back to the Q property. Danny left the boathouse to go get water, aspirin, etc. for Rocco while Gio stayed with him. Then Cody discovered them. EDIT: Cody and Gio got Rocco to the hospital for alcohol poisoning and Dante is under the impression Rocco was drinking at a college party on the beach with/because of Gio. Lois sounded so much like Carly with the "this family" line to Tracy. It's clear from that scene IMO that Lois didn't want Gio being raised by the Quartermaines, once Brook Lynn said she wasn't ready to be a parent/wanted adoption. I'm Team Tracy here.

This! So much this. BLQ told Granny Tracy she only ever told her mother "until recently." In the past few months BLQ and Cody had a conversation that he dropped her off at the bus stop to go home from camp when she told him she was pregnant (and he knew about her and Dante). Did she forget that she told Cody? Or is that a writer's mistake? Six people (including her OB/GYN) know the secret from BLQ and Lois. Lulu has told Carly. I assume BLQ is going to be forced to tell Dante because he overhears her fighting with someone about the secret and she can't deny what he heard, or Rocco will have a health crisis and she and Lois will both have to tell the truth.
