General Hospital’s Scarlett Spears books major feature film

Scarlett Spears returned to General Hospital on September 18th as Donna Corinthos. She had a cute conversation with Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) in which they had a lighthearted discussion about how they are related. Because Donna is the daughter of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), she is the half-sister of Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), which makes her an aunt to Dante’s son, Gio. Donna called Gio her favorite nephew.

After they had fun with that, Donna helped convince Gio to stay at Sonny’s house for a while, where he chatted with Dante at a barbecue, helping thaw the ice between him and the man he learned was his dad in May.
