Emma and Gio are together on General Hospital. They are an official couple. They do couple-y things. Couple-y, Disney cross-promotional things. They have good looks. They have charm. What they don’t have is a storyline. Why that must change soon.
Key Takeaways
- Emma and Gio are popular.
- Emma and Gio are busy.
- Emma and Gio need a point.
Emma and Gio Already Have the Chemistry GH Needs
Emma (Braedyn Bruner) came to Port Charles determined to save dogs from being used in cold fusion experiments. She pulled several other young people into her plot, but since the science was completely bogus, not much came of it.
What did come out of Emma’s adventures eventually is her relationship with Gio (Giovanni Mazza). They have great chemistry, and are adorable together. Gemma for the win!
Emma and Gio Can’t Become a Supercouple From the Sidelines
Emma and Gio went to New York City and saw Alladin. That’s not a storyline. That’s corporate synergy. Now, they’re caught up in Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) stalking storyline, while Gio and she perform together, and Emma is… also there.
That’s not so much a storyline as it is a premise. Emma and Gio aren’t making things happen. They are letting things happen to them. And that’s not a very compelling thing to watch.
GH Has the Perfect Blueprint for Making Emma and Gio Matter
We envision a story where dealing with Trina’s stalker brings her and Gio together, and Emma is jealous. We envision a story where the stalker targets Emma to punish Gio for being with Trina, whom they’re obsessed with.
But what we’d rather see is Gio and Emma together… with something interesting to do. Perhaps they can become embroiled in a story that leads to Anna’s (Finola Hughes) redemption and maybe even Robert’s (Tristan Rogers) inevtiable death.
Action and adventure as the path to super-coupledom is a GH tradition: Luke (Anthony Geary) and Laura (Genie Francis). Robert and Holly (Emma Samms). Frisco (Jack Wagner) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner). Now it’s time for Emma and Gio to shine!
