General Hospital News And Spoilers: Lisa LoCicero Mourns The Loss Of Her Father

Lisa LoCicero’s father

Lisa LoCicero’s father has passed away. As a Grosse Pointe, Michigan native, General Hospital star Lisa LoCicero is from my neck of the woods. Growing up Italian on the East Side of Detroit, family meant something more than just biology.

LoCicero brought her Italian roots to her role as the spitfire from Bensonhurt, Olivia Falconeri. Olivia’s family values closely mirror those of traditional Italian families. She displays her roots when expressing her adoration for her sons Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Leo Jerome Quartermaine (Easton Rocket). Family, food, and prayer mean everything to Olivia.

Family is held in high regard by Olivia’s portrayer Lisa LoCicero as well. General Hospital spoilers reveal LoCicero has taken to Instagram to announce the devastating loss of a close family member.

General Hospital news reports confirm Lisa LoCicero’s (Olivia Falconeri) father has passed away. A recent IG post by LoCicero features childhood photos of herself with her father Robert Moffat, along with photos of her parents, Robert and Mary Moffat.

Lisa LoCicero Says Goodbye to Her Father

We’re not crying, you’re crying! Lisa wrote an emotional goodbye to her father in the caption below her IG post.

I’d hoped this moment would never come.
The best dad a girl could ever hope for passed away
peacefully, as he lived his life.. surrounded by the love
of his family. It still seems unreal that I am finally a
member of this sad club.. I’m so old it just felt like I’d
go on having a dad forever..
As other members of this club have told me, the grief
comes in waves, and it’s not what you expect. Time to
grow up a little more, even at my age!
Thank you dad, for setting the bar high, for protecting
me and always showing us how much we were
cherished. I will remember you in healthy, smiling years
before time took so many of the things you enjoyed.
Death, like all important things is as common as dirt
and yet completely unbelievable.
I’ll always have you with me Dad..

Our prayers are with Lisa and her family at this difficult time.

General Hospital Spoilers: Olivia Has Startling News For Robert

Olivia Robert Holly

Robert and Holly reunite! You won’t want to miss a moment of ABC’s General Hospital when Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) thinks she’s seen a ghost!

This week on General Hospital, it’s like old times when Robert Scorpio is reunited with Holly Sutton (Emma Sutton). Peter August’s (Wes Ramsey) long history with devious plots and schemes didn’t miss many people of Port Charles. Robert was deceived by Peter when his lie about Holly’s death was used as a distraction.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Peter’s lies will come undone when Olivia finds Holly alive at the Quartermaine estate. Robert has been mourning the death of his long time love and dear friend, Holly. Anna too had been saddened by the loss of Holly. Between Holly and Luke Spencer (Tony Geary), Robert and Anna lost two of their closest friends.

General Hospital rumors suggest that it’s no coincidence that Holly and Luke’s tragic [alleged] deaths were mysteriously out of left field. GH spoilers hint that Anna has a feeling Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) is behind it all.

Maybe Anna and Robert will get more answers once Holly is discovered alive and well. Only she can tell them who was behind her kidnapping. There is a chance that Holly knows what happened to Luke as well. Robert hopes she can give insight into Victor’s plans, while Anna hopes to get to the bottom of what really happened to Luke.

Mayor Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) is away from Port Charles for the time being. Victor is currently using this open opportunity to facilitate his plan. Serving as active Mayor during Laura’s absence, Deputy Mayor Eileen Ashby (Heather Mazur) is working under Victor as an informant.

Holly could be the key into Victor’s game that Anna and Robert have been looking for. It’s about time Holly and Robert reunite.

General Hospital News And Spoilers: Colpo di Fulmine; The Story Behind The Sicilian Thunderbolt

Love in the afternoon is a common phrase when referring to the stories which come from daytime soap operas and their notorious reputation for love and romance.

General Hospital news and spoilers reveal GH’s current storyline surrounding Leo Quartermaine (Easton Rocket) and his desire to make Dante and Sam fall deeper in love stems from a Sicilian superstition.

What is the Sicilian Thunderbolt?

The Sicilian Thunderbolt is a way to describe it when love hits like lightning, or, thunderbolt, when one comes face to face with the person of their destiny.

When a man becomes spellbound by the woman he loves, the feeling hits them both with an intensity neither can ignore. Colpo di Fulmine means, “love at first sight,” whole directly translating to “lightning strike.”

The Sicilian Thunderbolt concoction is a drink used to make two people see they’re destined to be together. As Olivia describes, when two people want to know if they’re meant to be together, they’ll drink the Sicilian Thunderbolt and suddenly everything becomes clear. The clouded outlook is lifted and they will have an awakening, making them certain it’s true love.

General Hospital spoilers reveal, due to Olivia Falconeri Quartermaine’s (Lisa LoCicero) Sicilian heritage, her son Leo is well versed in this legend of love, taking it upon himself to use on Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). Things go a little haywire and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) drink the potion and share a kiss.

Is it real? Check out these testimonials!

It’s very real. It happened to me nearly two years ago (with an Italian-American woman no less). You will never be the same. The most amazing moment in my life, without a doubt.

Hello Jared, Thank you so much for answering my request to share a “colpo di fulmine” love story. I wasn’t sure if I should leave a reply here to you, as this is a love letter to Rachel. But my mom said I must write you back, that this is my blog and I should write a quick note to acknowledge it (I have to listen to mom!). Your story is a very special story and is quite beautiful. It made my heart smile and put a tear on my face to read such honest words. It was refreshing to read something so lovely when there is so much hurt happening now in the world. It is a true love story that continues on and and I wish for you and Rachel to be reunited very soon in the UK. Stay safe and wishing you and Rachel all the best! Lora

General Hospital Spoilers: Olivia Urges To Push Lulu Out

In the wide range of those who fall under the meddling mothers category, Italian moms are right there among the top of the list. (I’m allowed to say that because I’m an Italian mother ????). Olivia Falconeri from Bensonhurst is no exception.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) have hit a snag in the progress of their relationship. General Hospital recaps recall, when Dante asked Sam to move into his home with him, Sam resisted, and for good reason.
