Overview of the current storyline
Since Lulu Spencer's return on General Hospital, she has not been spending time with her son, Rocco. Once a central part of her storyline, Rocco has been largely absent, with little to no focus on their relationship. This has raised questions about why Lulu hasn't prioritized bonding with her son, especially given their deep bond before her departure.
Lulu's return has been filled with emotional struggles and family complications. However, her role as a mother seems to have taken a backseat. Fans are hoping that as Lulu navigates her personal challenges, she'll eventually turn her attention back to Rocco. Their relationship might be explored more in the coming episodes of the soap opera.
Meanwhile, Ava Jerome (Maura West) is struggling with her own issues. Laura Collins (Genie Francis) informed Ava that she would be unable to testify in favor of her in the custody fight related to an ongoing conflict with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
Ava is also dealing with an uncertain future, as Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) assists her in finding a new apartment, but worries remain about his allegiance. In addition, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is dealing with his heart condition and plans a secret trip to consult a prominent cardiologist.
