Is General Hospital Really Killing Off Rocco?

Oh, kids. Ya can’t take your eyes off of ’em for a minute, can you? The May 2 episode of General Hospital (which is recapped here) ended in disaster, with young Rocco having drunk so much of the spiked punch at the PCU beach party that he and Danny crashed that he was left lying unconscious in the sand.

But does Dante and Lulu’s son actually (gulp) die? The short answer is no — although part of him may wish that he had. Spoilers that ABC released for the week ahead reveal that by Tuesday, Rocco is beginning his apology tour. We have a hunch that it will be a long one, too, because Dad is ticked — so ticked that Lois is left pleading with him to take a breath.

We might go so far as to recommend that he take two.

Later in the week, Jason delivers some tough love. Anyone else suspect that that will be to his and late former wife Sam’s son, Danny?

Maybe the former med student will regale the teenager with the story of how he was on his way to following in Alan and Monica’s footsteps when half brother A.J. drove drunk and landed them in the accident that scrambled Jason’s brain and turned him into a stone-cold hitman.
