The actor showed daytime fans that he was far more than a violinist on a soap the moment Gio found out about his true parentage during the Nurses Ball. Mazza combined devastation with anger as he\u00a0smashed his violin on the Nurses Ball stage,\u00a0then allowed Gio to navigate the emotions that came with realizing the woman who raised him wasn\u2019t his mother, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) had given him up, and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) seemingly wanted nothing to do with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join the&nbsp;<strong>SoapHub<\/strong>&nbsp;community and make your opinion matterComment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Willow may be full of bad decisions that landed her without her kids and married to Drew (Cameron Mathison), but her alter ego Katelyn MacMullen made every right decision while portraying Willow in 2025. Her feelings for Drew may be fake, but the love she feels for her kids is real, and MacMullen showed us all the heartbreak her character endured when Michael (Rory Gibson) wouldn\u2019t let her see Wiley (Viron Weaver) and Amelia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one of GH\u2019s most legendary characters, Laura wound up having a big year, and it was an even bigger year for her portrayer, Genie Francis. When Francis wasn\u2019t\u00a0remembering her late co-star Anthony Geary (Luke)\u00a0or joining Maurice Benard (Sonny) for two episodes of\u00a0<em>State of Mind,<\/em>\u00a0she was putting herself in the middle of Laura\u2019s fictional problems. Francis balanced celebrating Laura\u2019s mayoral win with the fear of Sidwell\u2019s (Carlo Rota) power over her in a way only she could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-top-spot\">The Top Spot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a hard year for Tracy. First, she gained a great-grandson she never knew. Then she lost Monica (the late Leslie Charleson), then was challenged by Ronnie (Erika Slezak) for ownership of the Quartermaine Mansion. Elliot\u2019s performance allowed all of us watching to feel every ounce of grief, frustration, and ultimately, love that Tracy felt throughout the year, earning her our top spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2025, Jane Elliot proved why she\u2019s a GH icon.
