Olivia finally reveals her secret , but at what cost?

For months Olivia has been trying to keep her son Dante's true identity and parentage a secret.

The problem is - in Port Charles nothing stays a secret for very long.

One by one people across the town have figured out that not only is Dominic Perelli actually Dante Falconeri, Olivia's son, but that he's an undercover cop and Sonny's first born.

Jax, Johnny, Lulu, Lucky and Mac all know the turth and now, thanks to Olivia herself, even Agent Raynor of the FBI knows that Dante is really Sonny's child.

Jason, Sonny and Spinelli find out this week that Dominic is really an undercover cop, but not that he is Olivia and Sonny's offspring.

When Olivia went to the PCPD to beg Agent Raynor to have Dante pulled off the case, she blurted out the reason was a "conflict of interest" because he was in fact Sonny's child.

While Olivia has been hiding the news from Dante, she told Johnny what she had done and he did not react all that well. Johnny automatically jumped to the conclusion that Olivia tried to have Dante pulled off the case to save Sonny, not Dante.



So here's where it gets sticky, yes Olivia has admitted to still having feelings for Olivia and yes she has been trying desperately to save Dante from Sonny, as well as himself; but is she truly trying to protect him - or Sonny?

The confrontation, that takes place while Josselyn is being Christened, leads to Sonny shooting Dante for his betrayal and Olivia letting Sonny know that he shot his own son.

What should have Olivia done? In my humble opinion, Olivia should have told Dante when he arrived in Port Charles that Sonny was his father. That way Dante would have had the opportunity to make his own decision as to whether or not he wanted to stay on the case and try and take Sonny down.

Now, instead of protecting her son, Olivia inadvertently gets him shot, by his own father. Unfortunately, Olivia, Dante and Sonny are not the only three that are going to get hurt from her keeping the truth as long as she has.

Carly, Jax, Michael, Morgan, Josselyn, Lulu, Johnny and Kristina are all going to have to face the consequences of Olivia's actions.

Who forgives who? Who feels the most betrayed? Will Sonny forgive Olivia and Dante and form a new relationship with the son he never knew he had? How jealous will Michael be when he realizes the man he thought was an outsider is really Sonny's son? Will Michael accept his new found brother or try to destroy him? Will Michael feel even more betrayed because Dante is blood, while Michael was adopted by Sonny?

Will Carly be able to forgive Jax, Olivia or Lulu for their parts in the lies and cover-up? Will she walk away from Jax for good this time? Will she allow Lulu to be a part of Josselyn's life after finding out she knew all along?

Will Morgan forgive Jax or Dante for lying to him? Will Morgan be able to accept Dante as his brother or turn into a spoiled brat like Michael?

Will Kristina ever be able to forgive Sonny for shooting her brother?

It's going to be interesting to see how the next chapter of this story unfolds. Who do you think stands to lose the most? Feel the most betrayed? Have to pay for their part? Which couples will be torn apart and which will it bring closer more than ever?

One thing is certain to happen - a lot of people's lives will be changed forever.
