The Saddest News Ever: Robert Scorpio’ Heartfelt Announcement Stuns General Hospital Fans 😭
General Hospital spoilers tease that Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and Sasha Gilmore Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) are in for some surprising revelations. When Robert revealed that the DNA test results proved they were father and daughter, Sasha was shocked. In time, Sasha may be able to come to terms with this reality and embrace the fact that she finally knows who her dad is—and that he’s an upstanding man. But right now, her heart is broken that she can’t be with Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and that she’ll have to tell him the truth about the horrific week she’s had and why their relationship must come to an end.
But we have a sneaking suspicion this storyline is just beginning, rather than wrapping up. Robert wasn’t all that surprised when Sasha burst into his office, insisting he wasn’t her father despite Holly Sutton’s (Emma Samms) claims. Could it be that he’s not her father? Is it possible he’s helping protect her from the man who actually is?
On one hand, it doesn’t make much sense for Robert to pretend to be Sasha’s father. Some fans believe he’s too moralistic to lie about something like that, knowing it could devastate Sasha. On the other hand, he might see this as the only way to protect Sasha from a legitimate threat to her well-being.
Robert and Holly did have a heart-to-heart about her lying to him all these years. Would that scene just fade to black if it turns out he was in on it the whole time? Or is it possible he doesn’t know and is just an unwitting asset in yet another one of Holly’s schemes?
It’s not far-fetched to think Holly may have looped Robert into this mess without him realizing the full truth. She knows him well enough to anticipate that he would confront the problem immediately and insist on a DNA test. She could easily predict he’d use the WSB lab to ensure the results were accurate.
As a professional con artist, Holly understands her marks well—especially someone like Robert, who was once her husband and has adored her for years. Still, why put Robert through this ordeal and use him to protect Sasha? Why not tell him the truth?
It’s possible that Holly didn’t want to risk her plan being foiled. If her goal is to protect Sasha, she may be willing to risk everything, including her relationship with Robert, to ensure her daughter stays safe. At the same time, Holly must know that lying to Robert could blow up in her face even worse than the “pretend” version of events she’s woven over Sasha’s lifetime.
Letting Robert believe he has a daughter when he doesn’t could be devastating. However, if Holly confesses the truth soon, Robert may be faced with a tough decision: should he continue to go along with her scheme if it’s in Sasha’s best interest?
