General Hospital spoilers tease Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) floored Sasha Gilmore Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) when he said the DNA test results proved they were father and daughter. In time, Sasha may be able to come to terms with this reality and embrace the fact that she finally knows who her dad is — and that he’s an upstanding man.

But right now, her heart is broken that she can’t be with Cody Bell (Josh Kelly), and that she’ll have to tell him the truth about the horrific week she’s had and why their relationship must come to an end.

But we have a sneaking suspicion this storyline is just kicking off versus actually ending. Robert wasn’t all that surprised when Sasha burst into his office touting he wasn’t her father, despite Holly Sutton’s (Emma Samms) claims. Could it be that he’s not? Is it possible that he’s helping to protect her from the man who is actually her father?

General Hospital Spoilers — Clearing the Air

On one hand, it doesn’t make much sense that Robert would be pretending to be Sasha’s father. Some fans feel he’s entirely too moralistic to lie about something like that and mislead and devastate Sasha.

On the other hand, he could feel there is a legitimate risk to Sasha’s well-being and that this was the only way around it. However, Robert and Holly did clear the air and have it out with each other over her lying to him all of these years.

Will that scene just fade to black if it comes out that he was in on it the whole time? Is it possible he doesn’t know and is just an unwitting asset in another one of Holly’s games?

GH Spoilers Claim We Wouldn’t Put It Past Holly

It’s not reaching at all to suggest that Holly may have looped Robert into this mess and he has no idea that it’s a lie. Does she know him well enough to know he would’ve confronted the problem right away and insisted on a DNA test? It’s likely.

Can she trust that he would use the WSB lab to perform it? Probably so. She’s a professional con artist.

She knows her marks well, especially when they are someone she used to be married to and has adored for years. Still, why put Robert through this and use him to protect Sasha? Why not tell him the truth?

General Hospital Spoilers — Who Could It Be?

It’s possible that Holly didn’t want to take the chance that her plan could be foiled. If her goal is to protect Sasha, she may have been willing to risk everything — including her relationship with Robert — to ensure her daughter stayed safe.

At the same time, she must know that lying to Robert will only blow back in her face even worse than the pretend version of events that she has been lying all of Sasha’s life. Letting Robert believe he has a daughter when he doesn’t could be devastating.

However, if she tells Robert the truth soon, he may have to make a decision about whether or not he will continue to go along with her scheme if it’s in Sasha’s best interest. Will he agree to that? Keep checking back for more GH news and spoilers to find out.
