Rocco Falconeri is reeling from a shocking double revelation on General Hospital. After learning Gio Palmieri is his half-brother, Rocco discovers he wasn’t birthed by Lulu Spencer—but by Dr. Britt Westbourne, who stole his embryo. Now, desperate for answers, he contacts Liesl Obrecht, setting off a deeply personal search.
A Shocking Discovery Changes Everything
Rocco never expected to learn he had a half-brother—let alone one like Gio Palmieri. But that twist was only the beginning. He was hit with another bombshell: his mother isn’t Lulu Spencer. Dr. Britt Westbourne gave birth to him after stealing his embryo. This revelation rocked him to the core.
Finn Carr, who plays Rocco, told Soap Opera Digest that this storyline stunned even him. The actor found out about Rocco’s real origins during his own research and was floored. “I thought it was going to be messy in all the best ways,” he shared. “’Wow’ is the one word I’d use.”
While Lulu and Dante never outright lied, Rocco believes the truth was hidden. That secrecy has left him feeling betrayed and deeply hurt. He’s now obsessed. He wants to understand what happened and why no one told him sooner.
Carr explained that Rocco’s biggest issue is how he found out. That’s what’s fueling his quest for answers and pushing him toward risky choices—including reaching out to Dr. Britt’s mother, Liesl Obrecht.

In his confusion, Rocco sends an email to Obrecht, hoping she’ll tell him the truth. It’s a bold move—and one that will surely upset Dante. But to Rocco, Obrecht is now the only person who can fill in the blanks.
Carr shared a behind-the-scenes look at those scenes. “He dresses up a little nicer than usual,” Carr laughed, adding that Rocco puts on a button-up and combs his hair. “It’s pretty funny. He wants to make a good impression.”
Carr revealed the emotional intensity of the scenes where Rocco learns the truth from Lulu and Dante. Working with Alexa Havins and Dominic Zamprogna was powerful, he said. They didn’t rehearse specific reactions—Carr just let the emotions come naturally.
Rocco is now questioning if his parents truly wanted him. That thought weighs heavy on his heart. Was he born out of love? Or was he the result of a manipulation? He’s taking time to process it all, unsure how to trust anyone moving forward.
With Obrecht back in the picture, more secrets could spill. Rocco may uncover even darker truths about Britt—and maybe about Dante and Lulu, too. As this storyline unfolds, one thing is clear: General Hospital isn’t done turning Rocco’s life inside out.
Rocco’s emotional journey will continue to be a highlight in upcoming episodes. Fans should brace for drama, tears, and unexpected twists.
