General Hospital fans should gear up for a major storyline twist concerning the identity of Giovanni "Gio" Palmieri's real father. Speculation has been getting the best of all the GH fans, especially after Gio mentioned that his father died in Afghanistan before he was born in the early episodes.
As episode 196 (season 6) aired on ABC on Jun 14, 2024, Gio digs further into his dad's past. This has now led to several theories about who his biological father might be.
All these theories are about to be laid to rest as the show may finally reveal his identity in the coming episodes. As of now, the biggest possibility is that Giovanni "Gio" Palmieri and Drew Cain could be related by blood.
Exploring the mystery of Gio's real father in General Hospital
Giovanni "Gio" Palmieri could be Drew's son. Gio has recently appeared in the show and his background remains a mystery, he doesn't know who his father is and claims his father was an Afghanistan war veteran. Gio also states that this tragic death happened before he was born.
Moreover, Gio finds Jason to be a familiar face but he can't recall where they met. This mystery comes to an end when Gio remembers that he saw Jason in a photo album at his home, perhaps in a younger look. This sequence has caught the attention of all the viewers.
It is also well known that Jason and Drew are identical twins. Hence, this leads to the theory that he is related to Drew Cain by blood. But Gio is averse to the fact that Jason has a twin and this may lead to a conflict between Gio and his mom as he may think she lied to him and his father is indeed alive.
