General Hospital‘s Emma and Gio have become the best couple on the soap. They are young love at its finest.
Key Takeaways
- Fans were unsure about both Gio and Emma at first.
- They were there for each other as friends first.
- Their relationship grew slowly, which made it feel real.
- They have a sweet love story.
- Being from legacy families makes it that much better.
Gio and Emma
When Gio first arrived in Port Charles, it was unclear where this character would go. It was odd that this random guy was living with the Quartermaines. Some thought he was a new love interest for Trina (Tabyana Ali), but that didn’t pan out.
Then Emma (Braedyn Bruner) moved in with her grandmother to attend PCU. Fans were hesitant to accept this new Emma, who was quite different than the younger version.
The two students began interacting quickly, and it was apparent that there was something special between them.
Slow Burn
This couple fell in love slowly. It was friends first, which we don’t usually see on GH. Gio respected Emma’s passion for animal rights and went the distance to help her.
It was Emma’s turn to support a devastated Gio when he was shocked to discover that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) were his parents. She helped him work through his feelings without judgment and even gave him a place to live. Their bond grew stronger.
Emma and Gio’s first kiss felt sweet and innocent. They were both unsure of the other’s feelings, but when they finally spoke about it, it felt right for them to be together. Now, their relationship is growing stronger every day, and fans love it.
Legacies
Fans also love this couple because they are both from legacy families. They are part of the fabric of Port Charles.
Gio is now a Quartermaine, while Emma is a Scorpio. Her mom is Robin (ex-Kimberly McCullough), who grew up on GH, and her grandparents are none other than superspies, Anna (Finola Hughes) and Robert (the late Tristan Rogers). You can’t get better than that.
