Filomena Soltini is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. She was portrayed by Argentina Brunetti, who originated the role in 1985.

Filomena first appeared on-screen on September 9, 1985, however it is revealed she previously helped Robert Scorpio and Anna Devane when they washed ashore in Italy years prior. After Robert leaves Anna, Anna secretly gives birth to his daughter, Robin Scorpio. Fearing for Robin's safety due to Anna's career as a double agent, Anna leaves Robin in Filomena's care, leading Robin to believe that Filomena is her grandmother and Anna is only a family friend. Even after Robin and Robert learn the truth in 1985, Filomena is still often referred to as Robin's grandmother, and despite no blood relation she is considered family nonetheless. She remained on the show in a recurring capacity until being murdered by Grant Putnam when he attempted to kidnap Robin on January 15, 1988. On the episode of January 20, 1988, her character was announced dead.
