Biography[]

Early life[]

Gina was born in Brooklyn, New York, on July 31st, 1931, to Italian immigrants Dominic and Philomena Bosco. Gina was born just minutes apart from Dorothy Zbornak. This led their respective mothers becoming good friends, and the Petrillos and Boscos were good friends until the Boscos moved back to Sicily, Italy.[1]

Foreign Exchange[]

At some point before the episode "Foreign Exchange", Gina became engaged to a man named Guido. Gina took a blood test for an unknown reason, and when the results came back, it was revealed that Gina may not have been the Boscos' daughter and that she and Dorothy were switched at birth. The Boscos travelled to Miami, Florida, to tell Sophia and Dorothy what had happened.[1]
