In the July 6 episode of General Hospital, Danny confronted Rocco over his shooting Cullum, not Jason. The teens faced off in a moment that changed everything for them and Charlotte.
Key Takeaways
- Danny blasted Rocco for his actions.
- Rocco learned Charlotte betrayed him for Danny.
- The fallout led Danny to make a bold move that could destroy Rocco.
No Longer Brothers
After months of waiting for Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr) to have it out over the latter shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and letting Jason (Steve Burton) take the blame, GH fans finally saw that moment. Rocco and Danny did not disappoint either.
Danny was enraged at the fact that Rocco didn’t just betray him but allowed him to lose the only parent he had still alive. Things went from bad to worse when Rocco wouldn’t agree to turn himself in so Jason could go free.
The two brothers ended up in a heated argument. Danny called Rocco a coward, and the situation was about to get more intense until Lulu (Alex Havins) broke them up.
Betrayal Is Everywhere
Lulu and Rocco learned that Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) found out Rocco shot Cullum and told Danny. After the latter left, Rocco fought with Charlotte for choosing Danny over her brother.
Charlotte stood by her decision that Danny had a right to know. Rocco, though, was angry at his sister, and their dynamic was changed in an instant.
If that wasn’t bad enough. Danny went straight to Jack (Chris McKenna) at Turning Woods, claiming he knew who really shot Cullum and it wasn’t Jason.
Nothing Will Ever Be The Same
The sibling bond between Rocco and Danny is no more. Danny’s out for revenge, which will only put a new target on Rocco’s back. However, with Jason coming back soon, Danny could very well do more harm than good in this situation.
Whether Jack believes him or not, Danny running to rat Rocco out speaks volumes. It is also a reminder that these are teens dealing with adult problems. The fallout from the entire situation has ruined a once-close brotherly friendship.
That’s not all, either. Charlotte choosing Danny over Rocco has further proven what Rocco has been feeling for a while: he’s the third wheel in the teen group. Rocco’s trust toward Charlotte is broken, much like Danny’s is with Rocco, which means they will be even more divided.
The summer brings a tense time for this teen scene that honestly needed a little shaking up and drama.
