It was an almost successful mission for the Port Charles teens.
The kids of Port Charles are following in their iconic parents’ and grandparents’ footsteps this week on General Hospital as they take on the mission to break into Professor Dalton’s lab. But not everyone made it out safely during the November 12, 2025 episode.
Key Takeaways
After Ned’s (Wally Kurth) heart attack put an understandable wrench in Emma (Braedyn Bruner) and Gio’s (Giovanni Mazza) plan to break into Dalton’s (Daniel Goddard) lab during the mayoral debate at PCU, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke), Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), and Rocco (Finn Carr) took it upon themselves to complete the mission (no post-WSB Dante pun intended).
While Gio and Emma sat vigil at GH as Ned underwent bypass surgery, the other three made it to the lab. After the two boys were comically unsuccessful at getting the key fob to work, Charlotte got the lab open in one swipe. However, they were shocked to find not a single animal in the lab.
They continued snooping around until they heard the door opening and Danny and Charlotte managed to hide behind a glass case while Rocco only had time to hide behind a table. But as soon as Dalton headed toward where Danny and Charlotte were hiding, Rocco sacrificed himself by slamming a drawer and drawing Dalton’s attention.
Charlotte stopped Danny from coming to Rocco’s rescue as Rocco revealed his plan to oust Dalton’s animal testing and Dalton grabbed Rocco by the collar and assured him he’d have him arrested.
Just before the debate between Laura (Genie Francis) and Ezra (Daniel Cosgrove) could begin, Dalton dragged Rocco in and announced that he had broken into his lab. Laura became a combination of shock and anger toward her grandson, while her mayoral competition simply smirked at the turn of events.
General Hospital spoilers for November 13 reveal that Laura makes a sacrifice that may cost her entire mayoral run. Odds are, she’ll have to come to Rocco’s rescue instead of debating Ezra, and time will only tell how his police commissioner dad handles the news.
Do you think Danny, Charlotte, and Rocco make a good team or came up short? Let us know in the comments section below.
In a world of over-the-top, staged proposals, Paulie Connell just delivered a masterclass in heartfelt, chaotic, and utterly perfect romance. The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania is engaged, and the story of how her longtime love popped the question—in the middle of an Apple Store, with a fake PEOPLE interview as a decoy—is a tale of pure, unscripted magic.
The plan was elaborate. Dolores was told she had a PEOPLE interview for a new medication she was promoting. After getting full hair and makeup, the meeting was “canceled.” Seizing the opportunity, Paulie insisted they finally go get her new iPhone. “I kept saying, ‘Just go get it for me! Why do you need me?'” Dolores recalled. But Paulie was relentless, inventing a story about the “only one iPhone Pro Max in the area” being held for her.
At the Apple Store in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey—the very spot where they first met nearly five years ago—Paulie’s nerves began to show. “He was sweating so bad, his T-shirt was soaked, his face was beet red,” Dolores laughed. “He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere and I was like, ‘Paul, are you okay?'”
As an employee led them to the exact table where their love story began, Paulie’s mind was racing. “I was so nervous, my knees where knocking,” he confessed. “I’m like, ‘What are you doing? Don’t start getting sad, you’re meant to be happy!'”
While he was trying to deliver a heartfelt speech, Dolores was still completely oblivious, even joking to the employee, “Wouldn’t it be funny if we got engaged here?”
Then, he pulled the box from his pocket. That’s when reality hit. “I immediately said yes,” Dolores gushed. The ring, a show-stopping 11-carat centerpiece from John Anthony Jewelers, was a testament to his devotion. “Go big or go home,” Dolores laughed.
This wasn’t the first ring Paulie had bought. He revealed he’d purchased a stone years ago, but after getting to know Dolores better, he realized it was the “opposite of what I got.” This new ring, which he’d had for over a year and a half, was perfect.
The proposal was a symphony of sentimental details. The date, November 10th, was the same day Dolores had moved in with him four years prior. The celebration dinner was at Rocco’s steakhouse, the site of their very first date. “There’s not a thing this guy didn’t think of,” Dolores said.
For years, Bravo fans have relentlessly asked, “When is he going to propose?” Now, they have their answer. In the most unexpected of locations, surrounded by iPhones and unsuspecting shoppers, Dolores Catania’s next chapter has officially begun. And as Paulie laughed, “I’m just glad Dolores won’t have to answer a stupid question anymore.”
