Lulu’s Flight Plan with Rocco
Lulu (Alexa Havins) began preparing to leave Port Charles with her teenage son Rocco (Finn Carr) after he shot Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes). She packed duffel bags, secured a fake passport for Rocco, and told Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), the acting police commissioner, that she was ready “in case she had to take Rocco on the run.” Lulu also approached Ethan (Nathan Dean) at a park, asking him to assist with the escape and to accompany them.
Background: Rocco’s Shooting and Police Investigation
Rocco’s act of violence placed him at the center of a police investigation. After the shooting, Jason (Steve Burton) was initially blamed, while Rocco remained a fugitive. Dante, tasked with protecting public safety, has been monitoring the family and coordinating with other officers to prevent Rocco from fleeing.
