Making his first appearance on the Wednesday, May 15 episode of ABC’s “General Hospital,” actor Giovanni Mazza is officially on contract at the daytime drama series where he portrays Giovanni Palmieri, Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) cousin who played the violin during her nuptials to Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard).

According to Friday’s closing credits, Mazza is the latest actor to join the show’s contract cast list, which includes 33 actors. The show also retains several additional actors who appear in a recurring capacity. Two other actors who joined the show this year and whose names appear before Mazza on the contract list are Adam J. Harrington (John Cates) and Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).

While Harrington is a newcomer to daytime, his character originally appeared on the show as recently as 1995, when portrayed by Antonio Sabato Jr. Meanwhile, Burton returned to the series after he was let go in November 2021 due to Disney’s (owner of ABC) since-vacated vaccine mandate.

News of Burton's return to the show was first revealed in early January during a promo aired at the conclusion of the primetime special “General Hospital: 60 Years of Stars and Storytelling,” celebrating the show’s milestone anniversary. Burton first aired on the Monday, March 4 episode.

With “General Hospital” listing its contract actors primarily in the order in which they signed their contracts, the most veteran members on the list are Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis), Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber), Kelly Monaco (Sam McCall) and Laura Wright (Carly Spencer).

Mazza is an experienced violinist and actor who has appeared in episodes of “Chicago Fire” and “Bella and the Bulldogs,” among other credits.

In 2021, Mazza appeared on the short-lived FOX competition series “Game of Talents,” hosted by Wayne Brady (“Let’s Make a Deal”), which had contestants guessing the hidden talents of performers based exclusively on first impressions and with minimal clues provided.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
