Recent updates from *General Hospital* suggest a major revelation is on the horizon—Gio Palmieri’s (Giovanni Mazza) biological
parents are set to be unveiled. The key question remains: Did Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) ever disclose to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice
Benard) the identity of Gio’s father once Sonny uncovered the existence of his secret son?
### **A Shared History: Lois, Sonny, and Olivia**
Lois, Sonny, and Olivia Falconeri Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero) share deep roots in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Their longstanding friendship extended to their children—Brook Lynn Quartermaine Chase (Amanda Setton) and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). However, over the years, hidden truths have surfaced. The most shocking revelation was Sonny discovering Dante was his son, a fact Olivia had concealed for years due to the dangers associated with Sonny’s life. Despite the rocky past, Sonny and Dante have now forged a strong bond.
Lois and Sonny have historically shared a close friendship, with Lois often being one of the few who could reach him on a personal level. However, she is currently harboring a significant secret—one that directly ties their families together in a profound way.
### **Sonny’s Role in Gio’s Life**
Brook Lynn and Dante’s past relationship resulted in an unexpected pregnancy. Brook Lynn, confiding only in her mother, agreed to an adoption plan orchestrated by Lois. However, instead of a traditional adoption, the baby was placed with a Cerullo family cousin. Following the unfortunate passing of both adoptive parents, Gio, now an adult, resides with the Quartermaines while attending Port Charles University.
Lois appears to be the only one with full knowledge of Gio’s true lineage, yet Sonny seems to possess partial information. He has quietly supported Gio over the years, with Gio referring to him as “Uncle Sonny,” a term of endearment similar to Brook Lynn’s.
### **Sonny’s Unawareness of His Grandfather Status**
At the time, Sonny had no idea he was Gio’s grandfather because he was unaware of Dante’s paternity. However, he may have known Brook Lynn was Gio’s biological mother while remaining uninformed about the father’s identity. It is plausible that Lois later confided in Sonny about Dante’s connection, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
Despite Sonny’s tumultuous past, he has consistently demonstrated a deep sense of loyalty and care. Whether or not he was privy to the full truth, his unwavering support for Gio and his adoptive family aligns with his protective nature.
As this long-held secret comes to light, Sonny’s reaction will be one to watch—will he be caught off guard, or has he known more than he has let on?
