Ned’s heart attack on General Hospital was full of important plot points—Drew leaving Ned to die, Gio finding his grandfather on the ground, and Tracy not being in Port Charles to be there for it all. But one moment in particular happened off screen, and it would have been a major moment in viewers’ eyes had it played out on screen.
Key Takeaways
- Gio was tasked with calling Ned’s loved ones after his heart attack.
- Instead of calling Olivia, it would have been much more profound if viewers saw him call his mom, Brook Lynn.
- Gio did, however, share a sweet moment with Brook Lynn in the hospital.
Gio’s Call
After Gio (Giovanni Mazza) found Ned (Wally Kurth) outside Bobbie’s gasping for air, his one and only concern was saving his grandfather. Fortunately, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) was nearby and stabilized Ned until the paramedics arrived, leaving Gio to lean on Emma (Braedyn Bruner) during the crisis.
Once Ned was in good hands at GH, Gio realized there was something he needed to do. That was when Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) got a call from Gio alerting her about her husband’s heart attack. It wasn’t until a bit later that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) arrived after noting she got a call from Gio.
However, it would have been a much more significant moment had we seen Gio call his mother—see him debate making the call and then see Brook Lynn’s reaction to getting a phone call from Gio, of all people. Gio’s phone call was made much less profound after learning it was Olivia on the other end of the line rather than Brook Lynn.
But in the end, Gio did call her—a moment that happened between mother and son, viewers just didn’t get to witness it.
Of course, Ned’s heart attack did allow a couple of sweet moments between Gio and Brook Lynn, starting with the latter overhearing her son refer to Ned as “Grandpa.” Later, when she learned that Gio rushed to give Ned CPR, she mouthed a “thank you” to her son from across the hospital.
While everyone waits for news on Ned’s bypass surgery, it looks like General Hospital spoilers for November 13 tease more trouble for Gio and Emma, who learn that Rocco (Finn Carr) got caught breaking into Professor Dalton’s (Daniel Goddard) lab.
