General Hospital took an unexpected turn with Rocco shooting Cullum. This storyline has so many layers as the tangled web gets weaved and it’s giving off juicy soap vibes.
Key Takeaways
- A throwback to Michael killing Claudia.
- The lies being told to Danny and Rocco.
- Fans are all in on this new storyline.
GH Is Getting It Right
The last thing we expected was Steve Burton’s (Jason) exit from the show to center on Jason protecting Rocco (Finn Carr), with Nathan (Ryan Paevey) in on it. However, that is where we are, and we can’t wait to see more of this storyline.
Jason covering for Rocco is a throwback to when he couldn’t protect Michael (then-Chad Duell) from going to prison. Even when he got himself sent to prison, Jason was too late to save Michael from being harmed. Now he can do for Rocco what he couldn’t do for Michael.
Other factors adding layers to this story are Rocco, Nathan, and Lulu (Alexa Havins) lying to Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) about Rocco being the shooter, not Jason. Aside from the part Dante played in sending Michael to prison, this also speaks volumes about what the future holds for Dante’s relationship with Nathan and Lulu.
The truth will inevitably come out, likely when Burton returns from his break from the ABC soap, and the fallout will be epic. Dante being left in the dark will have a lasting impact, but it will also change his dynamic with Jason.
Speaking of lies, Rocco isn’t very good at it. In this case, though, Rocco is lying to his father and his brother, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn). All bets are on Rocco telling someone sooner rather than later; the question is, who?

It’s about time for some friction between Danny and Rocco, and Jason going to prison for Rocco will make that happen. If Rocco tells Danny, the latter will go scorched-earth to get his father free.
Let’s talk about how Nathan didn’t even hesitate to let Jason take control of the situation. There are so many clues he isn’t Nathan, and this can be added to the list. Nathan would never have let Jason take charge of a crime scene in the past.
Those are just the major layers. There’s also how Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) will fit into this storyline, which is shaking things up in Port Charles.
Fans Loving the Layered Storyline
GH fans are psyched for what is happening on the show right now. “There are SO many complex layers to Jason being arrested & covering for Rocco. Rocco and Danny being brothers, Britt loving Rocco, Jason not wanting Rocco to go to jail after what happened to Michael, which ties into Dante’s role in Michael going to prison. Bro. I love soaps,” wrote a fan on X.
Another fan responded to that X to say, “They are firing on all cylinders with this s/l and involving so many characters,” while a different fan referred to it as “the best storyline in a long time.”
