In the September 28 episode of General Hospital, Charlotte tried to convince her parents she didn’t need to go to boarding school. When they weren’t convinced and vowed to send her away, Charlotte proved that what Valentin and Lulu had decided for their daughter was the right move.
Key Takeaway
- Lulu attempted to give Charlotte a reality check.
- Charlotte heard her mother, but she still blamed Rocco for her parents’ decision.
- The teen’s response showed that Lulu and Valentin are right to send her away.
Lulu Gets Real With Charlotte
After they informed Charlotte she was headed to boarding school, Lulu (Alexa Havins) asked Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) for some alone time with their daughter. Charlotte was revealed because she assumed she could persuade Lulu to allow her to move back in with her.
That was not the case. Instead, Lulu gave Charlotte a very grown-up talk about what could have happened to her if Drew (Cameron Mathison) showed up instead of Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski).
Lulu teared up as she talked about how Drew could have hurt Charlotte, assaulted her, or even left her for dead. Charlotte got emotional as she realized the dangerous situation she put herself in.
Placing Blame on Rocco
Lulu was emotional as she continued to explain why boarding school was necessary for Charlotte right now. Once Charlotte seemed to understand the severity of what she had done, she said a tearful goodbye to her mother.
Even though she wasn’t happy, Charlotte agreed to boarding school but asked to say goodbye to Danny (Asher Antonyzyn). Lulu agreed.
Charlotte showed up at the Quartermaines and filled Danny in on boarding school. She wasted no time blaming Rocco for her situation.
The teen insisted that if Rocco had stayed quiet and not spilled her plan to Carly (Laura Wright), she would be staying in Port Charles. There was no accountability or ownership; she just blamed her brother.
Charlotte Needed To Be Reigned In
It’s no surprise that the daughter of Lulu and Valentin went rogue and has no understanding of why what she did was so wrong. After all, she was just trying to help her friend. Charlotte’s for sure a chip off the old block, something Valentin admitted when he spoke to Anna (Finola Hughes).
The fact that Charlotte blamed Rocco shows that she doesn’t fully understand what Lulu said to her so honestly and tearfully. Charlotte’s behavior isn’t just teenage angst.
She’s flirting with danger, and it’s because that’s what she has been taught her whole life. Valentin and Lulu realize this and hope to save her from going down a dangerous path.
There’s no question Charlotte has some maturing to do. Perhaps boarding school will do that. However, it just might backfire and make her channel more of her inner Cassadine.
Either way, Charlotte taking a Port Charles break right now isn’t just a bad thing. Plus, as the GH preview video showed, Charlotte’s exit has Rocco and Danny fighting again, just after they called each other brothers again.
