April 1, 2026
It's about to be a whole new world for a couple of Port Charles residents. Entertainment Weekly can exclusively announce that "General Hospital" will be crossing over with the Broadway production of Disney's Aladdin.
In a series of episodes stretching from late April into early May, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and his girlfriend Emma (Braedyn Bruner) take an excursion to New York City, where they're received by Gio's old friend Michael James Scott (as himself).
The actor — who's played Genie in the stage musical since 2019 — will later repay the favor with a trip to Port Charles.
In the storyline, Gio whisks Emma away to the big city on a romantic rendez-vous. A skilled violinist, Gio once played in a Broadway orchestra pit, where met and befriended Scott.
During his visit to Port Charles, Scott breaks into a jazzy rendition of "Friend Like Me" — popularized on screen by Robin Williams — on stage at Curtis Ashford's (Donnell Turner) swanky club, The Savoy.
