Gia arrived in Port Charles and tried to blackmail Emily Bowen-Quartermaine. She got caught by Emily's friends, but agreed to help them out when they suspected Zander Smith of murder. After working together to solve the mystery, Gia grew close with Nikolas Cassadine. Gia's mother Florence Campbell was unhappy with Gia's decision and demanded that Gia return home with her. But Gia remained set on staying with Nikolas and tried to find a way to provide for herself. She got a job as a public relations assistant for AJ Quartermaine's football team. Gia and Nikolas started dating. Gia then became the new face of Deception, a cosmetic company owned by Laura Spencer, Nikolas' mother. Things were finally looking up for Gia, but that all came to a startling halt when Nikolas dumped her. What Gia didn't know was that this move was part of a scam to protect Lucky Spencer and to find out what Nikolas' grandmother Helena Cassadine was up to. Heartbroken, Gia tried to move on with her life and briefly dated Lucien Cane. Later, she found a picture of Nikolas with his father Stavros Cassadine and realized that the man she had been dating, Lucien Cane, was actually Stavros. Before she could warn Nikolas of the deception, Lucien showed up and took her to the room that he had decorated for Laura. When Nikolas showed up with Laura, Stavros locked Nikolas in the room with Gia. Stavros and Helena were soon defeated and Gia and Nikolas made it out alive.

Characterization
The character of Anthony is first described as "a homicidal maniac who goes beyond Tony Soprano in craziness". Weitz himself describes Anthony as his character to TV Guide's Michael Logan as being "out of his mind." He is also described as ''GHs "crack mobster". Weitz gives Anthony a "loud, bombastic characterization rife with humor" allowing the character to appear more evil and sinister. Weitz also adds some much-needed comic relief to the particularly gloomy soap. Anthony's hatred for his daughter, Claudia ( Sarah Brown) is a big part of the character's descent into madness prior to his appearance in the series. It is known that Anthony didn't have a happy life with Claudia's mother, Dominica, and his disdain for Claudia stems from her being so much like her mother.
