General Hospital: Which situation led Dante to blame Gio?

Thursday's episode, dated May 1, 2025, saw Dante Falconeri admonish Rocco and Danny for creating a mess in the Quartermaine boathouse, as reported by Yuri. As mentioned before, when he sent the boys to clean up after them, the two skipped off to a beach party meant for young adults. While Danny asked Rocco to hold the glass and not to drink out of it, the latter took enough sips of a spiked drink.

Come Friday, Rocco was seen unconscious between rocks. On Monday's episode, dated May 5, 2025, Danny spotted Rocco and tried to wake him up. Coming across Gio, Danny asked for the elder boy's help. Together, they took Rocco to the boathouse.

When Cody learned from Giovanni about the situation, he checked on Rocco and had him taken to the hospital. After getting Cody's phone call, Dante arrived at the hospital with Lulu and Lois in tow.

Unexpectedly, Dante gets angry with Gio, holding him responsible for his son's predicament. The cop will likely try to put Gio under arrest, with Lois rushing into the orphan's defence. Fans are baffled by Dante's unreasonable finger-pointing.


What is likely to happen after this scenario?

Rocco will likely respond to the treatment and wake up. He may reiterate the complete sequence of events, apologizing to his parents for causing this trouble. He may also apologize to Gio for his father's behavior. Absolved of the baseless charges, Gio may try to understand Dante's point of view or may hold him in contempt.

Alternatively, Rocco may need some medical help from a kin, as predicted by some fans, leading to Gio being found a match. This may expose the long-pending Gio-parentage story. However, this may not come out this soon. Lulu will likely do some more digging with Ned Ashton-Q before things start to reveal themselves.

Meanwhile, Jason will learn about the Rocco-Danny situation and chastise Danny. Initially, Danny planned to keep this escapade hidden from his father and promised not to tell on Josslyn either. However, with the story already out, whether Danny opens up about what he overheard Joss and Vaughn discussing remains to be seen.
