RIP Rocco
Alas poor Rocco, we didn’t know him that well. When he joined the show, we were told that he used to be in a gang. The problem with these gangs are that they are hard to leave. So it proved with Rocco and his membership. He reminded me of Michael Corleone; “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”
Rocco’s gang was headed by his brother Johnny. Johnny ruled his gang with an iron fist. Any dissent was silenced with a punch to the face. They engaged in petty theft and administering beatings. They were tough alright. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ross Kemp does an episode about them for his Sky 1 documentary “Ross Kemp on Gangs”. The Bloods or the Westies have nothing on Johnny et al.
Rocco wanted out so he went to the Bay and, as usual, Sally took him in. He did his best to reform himself and turn over a new leaf. But Johnny was against Rocco’s new found independence and followed him to the bay, bringing the gang with him.
Johnny managed to “convince” Rocco to return to the gang and steal from Sally. Rocco got sick of this and confessed to Ash, a guard. They combined to set up and ensnare Johnny in their next big job. The police were ready and waiting when the gang turned up and Rocco went to jail.
But that wasn’t the end of it. He forced Rocco, against his will, to stab poor Sally in the belly. She didn’t like that but couldn’t remember it afterwards. Rocco couldn’t live with the guilt and did a legger. Ric followed him to have a “chat” but when he found Rocco he’d already been bashed up and later died in hospital without being able to tell anyone who’d battered him. But who gave him the slaps? As of now, we don’t know. It’s a mystery.

Saul was feckin’ deadly. Remember Selina was pregnant and all? Did she have that baby or wha’?
Do you mean you can’t add two comments, Gill?

Ya i meant trying to add a new topic but I realised how little sense I was making as I wrote that, nevermind it! Selina miscarried but I think Saul told her he could return the baby to her, or something along those lines. Good times though, Saul was definitely the best character ever, in my opinion. And he was so creepy. It was great!
