Aw\u2026 we agree; they are adorable together, and we are looking forward to seeing how this budding romance develops. But before we look ahead for Emma, we\u2019d like to take a quick look back and see how her story could have been made even more emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-she-s-a-rebel-and-she-ll-never-ever-change\">She\u2019s a Rebel and She\u2019ll Never, Ever Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma (Braedyn Bruner) has taken a firm stance against Professor Dalton (Daniel Goddard) using animals in his research, especially when he isn\u2019t limiting himself to rats or flies, but experimenting on higher-level species, like dogs. This is a valid stance to take. Emma is hardly the only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the problem is, Dalton is experimenting with cold fusion. And, at least in the world outside of Port Charles, cold fusion doesn\u2019t require animal research. It\u2019s mostly electrodes, heavy water, and lots of math. So, unless Dalton has dogs doing his calculations for him, he has no need for research animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-health-food-for-thought\">Health Food for Thought<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much better a story would it have been if Dalton had been working in the biological space? Researching a cure for a disease. That definitely would require research animals. That would have made Emma\u2019s stance a bit murkier. Especially if the disease Dalton was seeking a cure for was\u2026 HIV. Emma\u2019s mother, Robin (Kimberly McCullough), has been living with the illness since 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if Dalton\u2019s research with animals could have cured Emma\u2019s mother? As well as millions of other people? What if it could have prevented literally hundreds of thousands of deaths? Men, women, children? But before he was ready to try it on humans, he had to test it on animals. Would Emma have been so certain then? And, even if she had been, wouldn\u2019t that have added so much to her story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ NEXT:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/soaphub.com\/general-hospital\/news-gh\/slow-burn-sunday-perfecting-long-game-gio-emma\/\">Here\u2019s why this storyline was a great slow burn on GH<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pulling in Anna and Robin.
