General Hospital has found pure gold with the teen scene of Rocco, Danny, and Charlotte. Other soaps should take note of what is happening on the ABC soap because fans are loving it.

Key Takeaways

• GH is taking advantage of legacy teens.
• They are written like real teens with a soap twist.
• The sibling dynamic on GH is off the charts.

Back To The Good Old Days

Soaps used to have mad respect for the teen scene. In fact, soaps would build their whole summer around teens, which was how Lauralee Bell (Christine) was cast on her parents’ show, The Young and the Restless.

GH is going back to that train of thought, and it’s paying off in droves for the ABC soap’s teen scene. Charlotte (Bluesy Burke), Rocco (Finn Carr), and Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) are the best thing to happen to the teen scene on soaps in a long time.

The dynamic between the characters and actors is impressive. Seriously, these young stars are on fire and can handle their own in scenes with soap vets like Steve Burton (Jason) and Genie Francis (Laura).

These kids can also lead their own storyline with a little help from Braedyn Bruner (Emma) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza). The whole trying to bust Dalton (Daniel Goddard) for animal testing is a believable thing that teens and young adults would do.

Unlike other soaps that focus on romance, or love triangles, or in Days of our Lives cast a teen pregnancy without a lot of reality, GH is writing their teens in real stories that aren’t about young love.

The ABC soap has proven that teens are valuable if written correctly, which involves using the family legacy of characters like Charlotte, Danny, and Rocco, who have deep ties to Port Charles. Throwing in the sibling dynamics between Danny and Rocco, and Rocco and Charlotte, is the icing on the cake.

It’s been a while since teens have been this interesting. DAYS fell short with their latest teen scene by focusing on Holly (Ashley Jones) and Tate (Leo Howard). Y&R hasn’t even had a legit teen scene in years, and neither has The Bold and the Beautiful, which is focused on young adults, not teens.

GH’s Teen Scene Glory

GH fans are in agreement that Danny, Charlotte, and Rocco are the ones to watch on the show.

“Charlotte is the brains of the group. Danny is the enforcer. Rocco is the heart. I freaking LOVE this group of teens!!!” wrote a fan on X.

There was a fan who responded to that X to say, “I haven’t felt this way about a group of teens since the Liz, Emily, Nikolas, and Lucky..”

Another fan shared on X, “Another generation of teens working together- I love it!! And you can’t beat Jason and Sam’s son, Valentin & Lulu’s daughter and Dante and Lulu’s son!!! Danny, Charlotte and Rocco- I’m here for it!”

“My favourite thing on #GH these days is the sibling dynamics: Rocco & Danny, Danny & Scout, Rocco & Charlotte etc etc. it’s really beautiful to see the young cast exemplifying the future of the show,” stated a fan.

One fan declared, “TPTB struck gold with Bluesy, Asher and Finn Charlotte, Danny and Rocco are the best young trio in daytime.”

What do you think about the GH teen scene, and do you think other soaps should take a page out of GH’s book?
