General Hospital fans are getting a sneak peek at the upcoming episode of the ABC soap, but warning: it’s emotional.

Emma (Braedyn Bruner) returns to Port Charles from her heartbreaking visit to France to see her grandmother, Anna (Finola Hughes), only to find that Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is waiting for her when she arrives home.

The hunky young man is just what Emma needs after watching her grandmother lose it and having to leave her in the mental health facility in France. Even though Emma had Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Mac (John J. York) by her side when she saw her grandmother, what she really needs now is Gio.

In the preview, Emma’s happy to see him waiting for her; it’s just what she needed. These young lovebirds have the sweetest moment before things get real.

“We had to leave my grandmother in France. It’s worse than we ever thought it could be, and I’ve lost her. I’ve lost the grandmother that I knew,” Emma informs Gio as she breaks down in tears.

The situation with Anna is taking a toll on Emma, which will play into her relationship with Gio. Lucky for Emma, Gio has proven time and again that he always has her back.

General Hospital fans have even stated that Emma and Gio’s romance gives them “90s soap energy.” It’s so true, and the drama involving Anna will certainly bring more of that vibe because Emma’s going to need to lean on Gio while she deals with her grandmother’s breakdown.

This week, Bruner and Hughes delivered powerhouse performances in their scenes as Anna feared for her granddaughter’s life and Emma had to be dragged away from her.

What Emma, Felicia, and Mac don’t know is that Sidwell (Carlo Rota), Pascal (Marc Forget), and Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) kidnapped Anna and tormented her into believing Faison (Anders Hove), the man who tormented Anna and her family for decades, was still alive.

That is the reason Anna was freaking out when she saw Emma. It’s also why she informed Mac and Felicia that Faison is still alive and coming for her family.

Fans know that the three men needed Anna to have a breakdown and believe Faison was still alive to have a break, so she would stay out of their shady business as they try to finish Faison’s cold fusion project.

General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
