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.

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
