March 12, 2009 to October 27, 2009 [guest appearances]

Rocco Carner went to high school in Sherman Oaks, California, with Donna Logan, whom he'd been sweet on. After graduation, Rocco agreed to date Donna's insecure sister, Katie Logan, to boost Katie's morale; Rocco was happy to be near Donna, who was living with ne'er-do-well Mark Mallory. Trying to play footsie with Donna under the Logan table at Thanksgiving, Rocco was embarrassed to learn he was caressing Donna's grandmother, Helen Logan. Though Rocco enjoyed dating Katie, he kissed Donna, which upset Katie. Rocco slipped an engagement ring into the pocket of a coat he thought was Donna's but was really Katie's, and eventually faced the unenviable task of letting Katie down easy.

Rocco helped Donna get a job at Griffey's Diner, where he was a cook. But after he saved design house Forrester Creations heir Ridge Forrester and his fiancée Caroline Spencer from muggers, Rocco accepted Ridge's offer to take a job in Forrester's shipping department with Thorne Forrester. Rocco assisted Ridge with his idea to mass produce funkier fashions than Forrester's usual haute couture, but Ridge's father, Eric Forrester, nixed the project. Rocco helped avenge Donna, who had taken up modeling and had a nude photo featured in a magazine against her wishes, by snapping a naked photo of its publisher, Bill Spencer, Sr., so that it could run in one of Bill's other periodicals. Later, Rocco was promoted to a security position to guard Forrester's upcoming designs. Rocco initially thought unscrupulous designer Clarke Garrison was guilty of trying to steal the sketches when he caught Clarke rifling through Ridge's desk, but Rocco eventually fought an actual intruder, who was apprehended via Clarke's inadvertent actions.

After that incident, Rocco disappeared from the canvas until 2009, when Rocco returned from working at Forrester International's Paris office with Rick Forrester. With no love lost between Rocco and Rick, Rocco told Rick that he and Thorne were working on a secret project that was "the bomb" -- soon after, Rick's car exploded, and Rocco was briefly considered a suspect. Rocco was on hand for a fashion show where Donna got gallons of honey dumped on her, and a photo shoot involving then-new Forrester CEO Katie, but he hasn't been seen or mentioned in the years since.
