General Hospital: Perkie's Observations



Anna tells Patrick that Robert was really angry when he left. She worries he’ll do something bad. Patrick tells her she should be with Robert, that Robin would want that. Anna says Emma’s been asking about her mother. Patrick says he’ll tell her the truth. Anna says he doesn’t have to do it alone, but he says he’ll be doing everything alone from now on.

Robert is about to go into the morgue when Mac stops him. Mac says it’s not how he wants to remember Robin. Robert says it’s his daughter and Mac can’t stop him. Mac says she was burned beyond recognition and that Robin loved Robert. She would want him to remember her as she was. Robert punches Mac, runs into the room and locks the door. Mac continues to plead with him not to do it.

Johnny catches Carly leaving his apartment and wonders what the rush is. He’s looking for some morning nookie but she says she has a life and daughter to get back to. Johnny points out that Sonny has already seen her there, so there’s no need to hide. Carly asks if being together was just a way to provoke Sonny. Johnny swears he would never use Carly like that. None of this was her fault. Carly says it actually was.

Sonny’s not happy with the way things ended with Kate. She reminds him that they’re done. She shows him the bloody dress and says people get hurt around him. She says she’s kept the dress because it reminds her of the violence that touches everyone around him. Kate asked one thing of him, not to go after Anthony, and yet he did. Sonny says he can’t turn the other cheek.

Ethan and Luke demand the truth from Holly. She admits she lied to protect Ethan and that he is Luke’s son. Ethan’s still confused at how she just showed up. Holly says Luke called her weeks ago, afraid that Ethan was falling for a con woman. Ethan says Cassandra wasn’t a con woman, they fell in love.

Patrick talks about Robin and how she changed his world, challenged him. He says she was smart, beautiful and that she thought he was a player at first. Anna says she knows Robin loved him. Anna says she told her all the time how great a father he was and that Emma will need that now. Patrick feels he can’t be the father that Emma needs because so much of him is gone. Anna tells him that Robin had faith in him and to have it in himself. Patrick tells her to go and find Robert.

Robert pulls the sheet back over the body, has the same flashback and cries, “not my baby”. Ghost Robin appears so Robert thinks she’s real and the body is a mistake. However, Robin says it’s what’s left of her. Robin asks where her father was when she was burning up in the lab. She says he’s her hero, that he can save anyone and why didn’t he save her.
Anna arrives and gets the key to go into the morgue. Robert storms out of the morgue and Mac offers to go after him.

Carly tells Johnny that she set the Claudia thing in motion, by asking Luke to find something on him. She said she didn’t realizing how big it would be and that he’d sell it to Sonny. She apologizes and says she never set out to hurt him. Johnny understands why she did it, but still blames Sonny and wants to make him pay. Carly tells him to forget about Sonny and let it go.

Kate wonders where she fits into Sonny’s personal world and whether her needs count. Sonny says again that he couldn’t let Anthony get away with anything, but she says he could have gone to the police. He says that’s not how he works. Kate says she’s been shot twice since being with him. Sonny says he should have avenged her sooner, but Kate says she doesn’t want to be avenged. She says he didn’t hear her when she asked him not to go after Anthony, but Sonny says he did hear her, but didn’t like her making demands that she knew he couldn’t meet.

Sonny says he needs Kate in his life and explains about Robin dying and how she was like a sister to him. He says he can’t lose someone else close to him. He says he wants to make it right with her. They kiss and start to make love on her desk.

Ethan declares he’s going to go after Helena for killing Cassandra. Luke says she’s his to handle and wants Ethan to hold onto the vengeance until he has a good plan. Ethan storms off to be with his thoughts. Holly says Helena won’t’ be happy when she finds out the results of the DNA test, but Luke says he won’t let her hurt his son.

Patrick’s talking to his and Robin’s wedding photo, unsure of how to tell Emma the truth. Liz arrives, offering her condolences. She says she can’t believe it’s happened. Patrick tells her about saving Jason with Robin’s drug protocol, and that Jason will live even though Robin didn’t. Liz says she made a promise to Robin to look after him and Emma and she won’t break that promise.

Johnny doesn’t want Carly leaving just yet, and they start to kiss. They end up in his bed, but Carly wants to check the news. She is shocked to hear the report that Robin has been killed.

Anna gets a text from Robert, saying: “I’m sorry. I can’t do this. I love you. Goodbye”. She calls Luke and tells him she needs his help.

Patrick says he needs to tell Emma the truth. Emma comes out and asks about Mommy, so Patrick tells her that Mommy was hurt. Emma asks if Mommy needs a band aid. Patrick says Mommy’s gone to heaven. Emma asks when she’s coming back. Liz steps in and reminds her of when Cam’s fish died and went to heaven. Patrick assures Emma that Mommy is up there with the angels, watching over her.

So now that Carly knows, the only one left to find out is Matt, and I swear, if they have him stroll into work without a clue, I'll be ticked. Someoen should have called him to tell him that his sister in law is dead.

Loved seeing Robin/Robert, but I didn't like that she was angry with him. I get that it's his conscience, but I don't like seeing My Robin mad at My Robert.

I'm glad the Windemere stuff is done.

I'm glad Carly admitted her part in the Claudia stuff. If those two have any shot of something, he had to know the truth.

So Sonny guilted Kate into desk sex with the death of Robin. Douche.

Loved the PAtrick/Liz and Emma scenes. That poor sweet little girl.

The Robert scene with a mad Robin was just heartbreaking. Sad

I really like Johnny and Carly together ... not so much that her daughter seems to be with a sitter at night and so, but I like them so far as a potential couple. Also liked that she told him the truth.

About that Liz/Patrick/Emma scene ... I wish that moment was just between Patrick and Emma. I love Liz and loved that she was there to be there for Patrick and Emma, but this should have been a moment between father and daughter. And yeah, Emma's a kid but Liz didn't had to compare Robin's death to Cameron's fish.

So Holly lied only to Helena to protect Ethan ... that's fine with me. The damage is done anyway so why don't leave it at that.

I couldn't believe how fast Sonny can go from crying over Robin in front of Kate and then having sex with her on her desk. Disgusting!!!

Oh my tears were a rolling again today.... for Robert, when Robin appeared as his conscience and asked where was he when she needed him.... for Emma when she said her mommy could have one of her band-aids... for Patrick and his raw grief and pain.

I think Holly might be lying to Luke and Ethan about the paternity. Something about the whole thing just doesn't sit right to me. The timing would be awful for Robert though to find out now, and he's not staying that long so I don't know how they would play this out. We shall see.

I wish Johnny would've been a little more mad at Carly for unleashing this pain on him.

Sonny completely played the dead friend card to get some sex from Kate. It was gross, nasty, and was shown in poor taste considering the heavy scenes we were witnessing from Patrick.

"So Sonny guilted Kate into desk sex with the death of Robin. Douche."

This is a statement i can get behind.

I hate Sonny. Why is HE allowed to live and be a douche while Robin is dead? Why does Kate still own that dress? Why hasn't anyone taken it away from her and burned it?

Why are holly, Luke, and Ethan still hanging around Wyndemere? I have fond memories of Holly back in the day although I didn't really like her when she was first introduced. I liked her with Robert pre-Anna but I have always been firmly TEAM Anna. I just don't understand her function now. Id she going to ride off into the sunset with Luke? Ethan? I find myself wondering if Helena just wandered off to run her DNA test and plans to reconvene her Kill Ethan party after the results are in. They were just waiting for her to come back.

soapjunkie - I agree that the Patrick tells Emma scenes should have been just father daughter. I am not sure why they chose to include Liz and the fish tale came out of left field. I thought she was going to mention Jake and I was kind of bracing for that. I would have liked to see Liz and Cam with Emma in a few days. I feel like it will bring buckets of tears if Cam and Emma start talking about Robin and Jake being in heaven together.

But, I do think Liz and Patrick should share scenes and I am always glad when the writers write for anyone besides the mob especially Liz.

I find myself interested in Carly's reaction. How will she handle the news? How will Maxie handle finding Liz at Patricks? These are things I want to see but I would like them to wait until after Patrick sees Maxie and Matt. I want to see the Patrick and Robert scenes and I want more Anna and Emma. I want much more Robert and Mac. If Anna, Robert, and Holly will only be around for limited time, use them and forget Sonny and his whackadoodle bloody bride.

The entire show was good today accept for Sonny looking for sex and the whole Windermere nonsense.

Liz came by to offer her condolences to Patrick and it was obvious (at least to me) that Patrick was going to lose it before he could tell Emma that her mother was dead. Liz told Emma the truth at a child's level while Patrick tried to pull himself togehter. I have always liked the Liz/Patrick and Liz/Robin friendships and it's a shame that TIIC effed up the Liz/Nicholas decades old friendship.

Kate should have put a cap in Sonny's butt when he dumped her to marry Claudia.

Matt is probably still drunk in his hotel room. During each episode, a new person is finding out that Robin is dead which explains why her funeral is at least two weeks away!

Should I or shouldn't I? Oh, what the hell... Let's talk about the grossness that is Skate. I'm not a shrink, but a layman with even a small working knowledge of pop psychology would be able to conclude that Kate is having a major PTSD event that may or may not include DID--having heard the terms,and of course--knowing that Kate was stabbed, shot not once, but twice--AND basically dumped afterward by her fiance, even though she held her up and declared that her relationship with said fiance was a stupid fantasy.

Add to this her cultural identify struggle as she climbed that ladder; am I Connie, am I Kate, blah, blah...blah.

Just who are the people she can rely on when clearly, she's very fragile, and headed down a very dark path? Nosy, lecturing Boobliva, who admitted that she saw scary, out of character behavior, but essentially walked away without offering real help? A shrink who happened upon a bat-sh*t crazy, possibly unsafe mess, who mumbled the appropriate words, but also walked away? Or a manipulate, emotionally-abusive psychopath who dismissed her declaration that she wanted nothing to do with him, and twisted her sympathy so he could get his f*ck on?

How nice for Kate.

I've read many rightly derisive comments about the direction of Kate's character and how much they miss Megan Ward's strong, capable performance.
For me it's gone past that. I feel hopelessly sorry for this person, and am dismayed by just how far GH will let this character self-destruct before either one of the characters gets a clue and helps her, or they pull the plug and write into the loony bin. In the mean time, I think it's disgusting to watch, and I'm left shaking my head about the taste level of TPTB.

But the rest of the show is fantastic!

Sure didn't take long for Liz to show up sniffing around Patrick to "keep her promise to Robin". Anna has to leave, he practically threw her out the door with his, "go, go, go" and then Liz shows up with a story about a fish. Geeezus!

I'm usually the first to jump to Sonny's defense, but that was gross. Kate and Sonny are FF material if there ever was any. I still don't get why Sonny had to get over Brenda so fast. If he was ever going to pine away for a woman that left him it would be Brenda. That lasted all of two weeks and we get Skate back. Kate is only interesting to me when she's going batshit crazy. I really need her off my screen because she's boring me to tears. Maurice Benard is one of my favorite actors of all time and I think he's been killing it since RC took over last Tuesday, but I FFed almost every scene he was in yesterday. RC is blowing through these stories like crazy so I'm hoping Kate is caught soon and either killed or locked away in a padded cell forever. Kelly Sullivan cannot pull off Erika Slezak. She can't even pull off Bree Williamson. If we need a DID character why not have included Jessica in the OLTL crossover? I'm not saying to do it now, but I'm saying why not have her from the get-go? She's a good actress and has nothing left in Llanview for her now that Ford is dead. Now it just feels like Kate's DID is an attempt to steal a storyline from OLTL.

Mixing the Johnny/Carly sex scenes with the Sonny/Kate ones was just also pretty disgusting. I'm fine with Johnny/Carly because I'm not really a fan of either character anymore so I like them being in each other's orbit. Plus they are undeniable hot. I don't think there's any way for their relationship to actually go anywhere, but they seem to be pretty popular on this site so I'm good with it.

I was hoping Helena would come back with the DNA results and start firing like a mad woman, but it wasn't to be. I'm sad it appears that we are done with Constance Towers once again. I need her on the show! I love that woman so much and love Helena Cassadine too. BUT I'm thrilled to be done with this bogus Wyndemere story revolving around Ethan and Cassandra. Emma Samms said she filmed with Tristan Rogers so I can't wait for those scenes. Holly's scenes so far have been bleh because the material is such junk.

Tristan Rogers ripped my heart out when he locked himself in that room. I didn't even need to see anymore after that I was already starting to get upset. Then when he removed the sheet it was over for me. I liked that Robin was yelling at Robert. Tears were flowing when she asked where Robert was and said he was her hero and can save anyone. That did me in. The same flashback as last time, but it so much more effect this time. It broke me down big time. I like how this confirms that the Robin we are seeing is just in people's heads now and not a "ghost." Ghost Robin would never yell at Robert like that. Tristan Rogers put on a masterclass in acting, as he always does. 6 episodes?! What the HELL?! Did they not realize how golden he is as Robert Scorpio? All feels right when he is on the canvas and I'm going to hate to see him go away again.

The only consolation is that we get to keep Finola Hughes. Hopefully forever. That woman rips my heart out every time she's the screen. I haven't been so intrigued by an actress in as long as I can remember. She plays Anna Devane so strong. Her brief moments where she lets her true emotions shine through are brilliant. Finola Hughes has not lost it one bit and Anna Devane continues to be the best heroine maybe of all time in the history of soaps, at least in my opinion.

Jason Thompson is on the roll of a lifetime for an actor. I didn't even want to watch the Emma scenes because I knew they were going to be rough. The Emma/Elizabeth/Patrick scene was phenomenal. I'm sure JT was having some real emotions thinking about Kimberly being gone from the show and it shined in his performance. That was one of the realest soap cries I've seen in quite a while. I loved this episode. The Scorpios and the Drakes should carry this show for the rest of its run.

I will never understand how people aren't capable of acknowledging that men and women can "just be friends". I have ALWAYS had good close PLATONIC men friends in my life. They are usually able to give you a different prospective on issues, because of the gender differences. Men do look at things differently then women... Anyway...I have always found having them, to be very valuable and helpful....So why is it that this concept does not carry over to our soap viewing? Why are soap characters incapable of having a platonic friendship?

Elizabeth and Patrick have ALWAYS been good friends...in fact I will go on the books as saying that I think Elizabeth has been Patrick's closest friend. When he has had personal problems in his life that Robin wasn't able to help him with...or for that matter were about Robin...Elizabeth has always been his go to friend. Think about...who has Patrick ever really confided in, other than Elizabeth and Coleman. He asked Coleman to stand up for him at his wedding because his relationship with Matt was just forming, and he had no other close male friends. The show has continually showed him turning to Elizabeth for advice concerning Robin. The character of Patrick has really been isolated to the hospital, Robin and other hospital personnel. I think that is part of the reason for this Electrick friendship.

On the flip side Elizabeth has also relied on Patrick since 2006. He is the one that helped her through Lucky's addiction, finding her support groups.... and also helped her find extra work to pay her bills. He has always been there for her to talk to and confide in. Robin and Patrick were both her friends...the show has always talked about their joint friendships....so why wouldn't she show up at his door to help him in his time of need???....ESPECIALLY since she just promised Robin in the past month that she would always be there to help both Patrick and Emma, if anything ever happened to her.

I am so sick of people attacking her for being a good friend. There was absolutely nothing to suggest she had any ulterior motives other than trying to help a grieving friend.

Below is a link showing that it is a two way street here in their friendship....Patrick has always been there for Liz also.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWsl9ZJr3Ig

As for Liz using the fish story....I think she was trying to explain that sometimes you can't fix people or loved ones, and they need to move on...Would you really want her to use Jake?...Emma is five years old....she was trying to be gentle and not scare and upset Emma...but still trying to get across the point that Robin couldn't be fixed. Elizabeth only stepped in, after Patrick lost it...and looked over to her for help....She did not say anything to Emma until he showed he needed her to.

Robert and Patrick both broke my heart yesterday...This has really been a tough week for me to get through.....I love the Scorpio/Drakes. It has been so sad for me.

Agree, but I don't think Patrick had the ability to do it alone. He told Pif, Anna and us (via the picture of Robin) that it would be hard to break the news to Emma. I wanted Anna to stay and help him, and then when the knock came at the door, I was actually thinking it might be Maxie, but was glad it was Liz.

Liz, having been there very recently in terms of loss, would know what to say. And she didn't jump right in or anything, she stood back and when it became obvious that Patrick was not going to be able to hold it together, she took over.

Personally, I think it was handled beautifully. Poor, poor Emma.

GHfan777 - For the record, I didn't say that I wanted her to use Jake only that I was bracing for it. I thought that she was going to and I thought I might lose it.

As for the inference that Liz was there for more than a friendly gesture, that is just sad that anyone would think that.

I just want to add that Tristan Rogers really looks good. They keep flashing back and forth between Robin at 5 and present day and he hasn't changed. What is the mans secret?

I love Sonny to death, but using Robin to get nookie...I have no words.

I FLOVED the scene with Liz, Patrick, and Emma. Liz was being a good friend. i also loved the fact that she didn't bring up Jake. Liz didn't make this about her. A fish may have been a poor choice, but she brought the conversation down to Emma's level. But this moment wasn't about Liz's loss, it was about Emma and Patrick's. And Liz only jumped in when needed, and she stepped back and let Patrick tell Emma that her mother was in heaven and cry together. That was a wonderfully done scene.

I think that Anna had to be there for Robert, and I loved Anna trying to get a peek after doing her level best to keep Robert from going there.

No more LIW? Whatever will I laugh at? I know... I can laugh at Ethan declaring his love for the late LIW.

haha! Good point! When Robert texted Anna, I was actually wondering why Anna would have Robert's cell number programed into her phone - The only way she was able to reach him before through the agency...she didn't try his cell first.

I think that's where some of the emotions are coming from as well. He's doing an amazing job of showing me someone completely wrecked by this.

I agree with this too. They are friends. They are neighbours. They are co-workers. Why shouldn't she have checked up on him? I'm annoyed more people haven't been by to check up on him (Maxie, Matt, Steve, Lainie, Kelly, Monica I'm looking at you)

I remember right after Jake died, when Liz was at Shadybrook and Patrick came to see her, and sat down on the floor with her. She's now paying it forward and it has nothing to do with her "sniffing" after him.

Acturally Vet...my statement about using Jake was not in reply to your post. My comment was really coming from my own thought process.... that Liz's most recent personal loss... was Jake...and that to use him as an example for Emma would have been scarier for her as a child...If there had been a older person on the show, who had been sick and recently died...Elizabeth could have used them....but there wasn't anyone that fit that bill... I think to use a child of the same age... while trying to explain death to another child.... would have been more traumatic ...This is just my opinion on the subject....Elizabeth chose to use a pet as an example, as pets are loved by children like actual people...I actually thought it was a good idea myself.

I am sorry that you took it that I was making a negative comment to you...that was really not the case...I can normally co-sign your posts...I agree with you so much Smile

She knew that he had an assignment before and wouldn't pick up his phone. That changed when Robert came to PC...^^

I also wanted to add, I can't believe they let Ethan mourn Irina like he lost the love of his life. He has only known her for a few weeks. Sorry, but that wasn't some epic love story we are talking about her.
So get over it, boy! She was a pawn used by her mother to screw you, she lied to you ... yeah she died tragically and you had feelings for her, but don't play it like you lost someone playing a big part in your life. That she did not!

Of course Liz was only there to be a good friend. How would anyone turn this around? And it's great that she showed up! I like her friendship with Patrick. Smile
I also agree on JT: He's killing it these days!!! Hope these performances bring him a Daytime Emmy, if there's still one around next year(?).

You can tell Cartini is in charge. In one week, shirtless Sonny, shirtless Matt and shirless Johnny. Sad to say thought that shirtless Sonny is in much better shape than shirtless Johnny.

Biggest douche moment of the day goes to Sonny. He used the death of one of his supposedly best friends to get back into his girlfriend's pants after she had ended things. DOUCHE.

edit-just read through the comments and noticed Perkie called out Sonny for his douchery- didn't see it before, but definitely agree with it!

I loved the Patrick/Liz and Emma scenes. I think it was very fitting to have her there when Patrick told Emma about Robin. Especially since she has had to have a similar conversation with a young kid herself.

I had to leave the room a few times while the show was on, but I assume there was no Sam raving on and on about Jason today? Thank God for that.

Carly pissed me off. I still don't really like her or Johnny together. I see the chemistry. I just don't get the pairing. Plus she blew off her kids yet again for another mobster. WTF Carly.

Oh Robert. Every scene with him in it made me weepy. And when Robin "appeared" to him saying that he was her hero and asking where he was when she needed him...that was it for me. I was a mess.

Still completely bored with anything Ethan. I just don't care. I kind of hoped Helena would have "busted a cap" in him.

While I get people wanting Patrick telling Emma about Robin to have been done between the two of them, what is so bad about Liz telling Emma about the fish to give her a sense of what has happened? Patrick was having trouble telling his daughter, Liz's fish story helped ease him into it. Was he supposed to just blurt out that Robin was dead and never coming back? Emma is a young child and young children usually don't get the concept of death and that someone is "never coming back" because they are dead. Having to tell someone that a person they love is dead is hard enough, explaining it to a small child is another thing entirely. Hopefully that didn't come off bitchy, it wasn't meant to be. Just my two cents.

As for the "sniffing" around Patrick comment. Really? Are friends not supposed to offer condolences in person now? Should Liz have called him on the phone to tell him she was sorry for his loss? People seem to find it so easy to call Liz out when she does something stupid (and even I can admit there have been times when she has) but when she does something nice and there are no ulterior motives, people have to find something to attack about her. All she did was show up, offer condolences and help Patrick find the words to explain Robin's death to his daughter. Nothing more.

You must be kidding LOL? I'll take hot sexy shirtless Johnny any day over orange shaved shirtless Sonny! And Johnny really has the six packs that I love! yummy yummy yummy! Wink but it is probably good that all women are not attracted by the same kind of men!

As I said already I have been pretty surprised by how hot Johnny and Carly are together and how in fact i have come to enjoy that pairing (compared with the incredibly lame Shawn/Carly pairing even an Edward/Carly pairing would look more sparkling to be honest) I was pleasantly surprised that Carly told Johnny the truth about how the Claudia info came up. She showed some honesty and some respect which was kind of a surprise to me. Johnny's reaction surprised me even more. Shows how much more mature he is than "the bully" to quote sweet Swan. Imagine Sonny hearing about Carly doing something like that to him...

Kate and Sonny? no word. Using Robin's death to get laid? It is even lower than I expected from Sonny. And the big love of Sonny's life is Brenda. Carly would probably come second but I never had the feeling that Sonny was madly in love with Kate. She threatens to break up with him if he goes after Anthony and he couldn't care less about it and of course runs to the Qs the second Kate has left. And then comes back whining to get his sex fix. Wow.
But I was eventually done with Sonny (who used to be my favorite GH character for so long) the day he entered Robin's home with a gun while Emma was there. Sonny cannot be redeemed in my humble opinion since that day. So to hear him talking about his pain and getting that as an excuse to soften Kate? VOMIT WORTHY.

I thought the Liz/Patrick scenes were well done and nice. But I certainly don't want a Liz/Patrick pairing anytime soon!

Thank god, this LIW storyline is OVER. And Ethan is still a Spencer so I am OK with the conclusion of one of the most boring, pathetic and contrived story GH ever proposed us.

Emma is really a super cutie... I am rooting for a Cemma (Cam/Emma) pairing already!

I loved the Liz/Patrick scenes in this episode. She was such a good friend to both Patrick and Robin (and vice versa). I think it made perfect sense for Liz to go to Patrick to check in with him. They both loved Robin very much, and Liz and Patrick are friends and love each other in their own right. Sniffing around? Really? That allegation is not based on anything other than dislike for the character, because it sure didn't play out that way on screen. I agree with everything Perkie, GHVetfan, GHfan777, Kazy24, thecourt99 and soapjunkie88 stated these scenes and the Skate scenes.

If that is all we get of Robert, I am one very disappointed and pissed off fan.

Random thoughts and questions:
*Did they dye Michael's hair to be redder?
*Wasn't Carly supposed to get back to Shawn with an answer about going out with him? Considering she hasn't left Johnny's in days, I guess she hasn't yet.
*Not that I care, but does anyone think the LIW might be playing Ethan and is still alive?
*FLOVED the scene with Pif and Patrick, that brought me to tears!
*Most of us suspect Kate is behind all the shootings, but would really like to see her actually stashing a gun, or something to prove it.
*Michael: news flash: you are NOT responsible for everything bad in this world, get over yourself and stop blaming yourself for all the evil in Port Charles. Ugh, it's getting tiring.
*Sympathy death sex = sad and sick.
*When Lulu found out about Robin, why did she ask how Luke would react to the news? Has there ever even been scenes between Luke and Robin? What am I missing here? Oh, I guess because he is friends with Robert and Anna? Found that kind of left field.

Okay Im going to surprise folks (and AGAIN prove Im more objective than some of the sam bashers) I actually liked the Piz scenes. Yeah okay she used the fish analogy and maybe that was a little strange, but at the same time shes dealing with the death of one of her closest friends and trying to make that relatable to a five year old. If she did it less than perfectly, isnt that sort of human? And strangely Im sort of more open to a piz situation in a few months if its done right than you might expect. They actually do have chemistry - and I dont think she has that in most of her pairings (sorry but I dont I think JT pulls out a better dynamic from her and I dont know if its a slam on some of the actors shes been paired with or its that tptb consider her to be the vet and expect her to elevate the pairings but I think JT is such an exceptional talent that he makes the people around him even better and for me I think becky does better work with him than she does when shes in scenes with a newbie like ewan or even someone thats been around like sbu or jason cook) - and i think its going to be interesting how a growing closeness between them might effect matt and maxie (oh how I wish KS was back) because Im sure maxie is going to assume that she is the natural candidate to sort of inherit responsibility for her cousins family.

And since we are in this storyline - which so far has been pretty good despite some kinks - I will add this. People grieve and struggle in different ways. This is just me, but what people do when they are trying to protect someone they love or when they are grieving someone they love is not always pretty or "correct". There are times when Ive felt characters have used a situation like that to advance and agenda and THAT I will call out, but in general I think you have to give characters SOME latitude when it comes to their behavior in these situations. If patrick kisses liz or sam plays the baby card or maxie acts out because they are on emotional overload I think its fair to say wow thats kind of cold or ugly or dang I didnt want that to happen, but at the same time people do ugly dumb unplanned stuff when they dont know what else to do. The reality here is that liz lost her young son and now one of her best friends. Sam is in a high risk pregnancy and her husband may be dying. Maxie lost her sister, her parents have abandoned her, and now she is lost the cousin that in reality was also raised with her like a sister. Patrick is mourning the death of a 30 something year old wife that he thought he would be with for the next 50 years. If this were real life I wouldnt want to trade places with any of them right now. Im sure that some mistakes will be made.

Robert and Anna - my god I cant believe that once again we have been blessed to have them on our canvas, and still tptb dont appreciate that the show is all the better for it. Im one of the few that doesnt need to see sonny eliminated from the canvas, though I do need him to be written as less skeezy (and if they erase the mob that would probably me no johnny and I love my brba and my john/carly scenes) but robert and anna add so much to the show and they IMHO balance out the mob element.

Yeah we still have some kinks in the writing - luke had his cell, anna had roberts etc. but I think its clear things are improving.

BTW Im kind of annoyed that lulu had time to call liz but hasnt had time to reach out to maxie. I thought they were bff. With friends like lulu, no wonder maxies a hot mess at times. (and I still dont understand why the writers had robin telling maxie that jason was sick and maxie didnt go to see sam, not to mention why alexis hasnt been at the hospital). this is the kind of nonsense that still needs to get worked out. Real people dont behave this way. Alexis has always been shown as a devoted mother, and she wouldnt leave her pregnant daughter alone at the hospital. Monica should have had a line mentioning edward if JI cant be on set. Liz could have mentioned to ewan that lulu called her on the way to maxies if they didnt want to have a lulu/maxie scene. maxie could have said to robin when she left in a huff that she was going to go stop and see sam before she went to the party again if they didnt want to have a maxie/sam scene.

The 'Robin's death by explosion' material is so flawed as to be ridiculous.Announcements would never cease in a hospital setting.Ever. So many wrong details that ruin the story. Patrick wouldn't have been allowed to do surgery under those circumstances. A case could be made for extreme malpractice by both he and the hospital. It would just never happen. A Dr. could never make the final determination about treatment just as an act of vengence. (Not if he wanted to have a continuing Surgical career and stay out of court). There are all kinds of checks and balances required to protect the patients . They just over-wrote the entire thing. Adding unnecessary details is just poor storytelling. And when they showed Robin's arm being moved under the sheet it was wrong. Human muscle when exposed to extreme heat and fire will curl up. Her hand should have been curled up like a claw.

Sam acted as any good ,loving wife would act to save her husband(hitman or not). I think so many here have such a hate for Sam. Period. She isn't bad she's just written that way.I would like to see her have a baby of her own. With or without JM. I really hope he isn't the twin of Franco ,as someone suggested.Yipes.

Michael reaching out to help the girl in the car shows he is interested in being helpful to others. Which is a good sign. I don't know who the girl is but she might be able to be his friend. God knows he has none as it is now.
The kate/Sonny thing is now very boring and old.I just don't care what happens to her. I have such mixed emptions about Sonny. I used to like him then I hated him. But I have to say love him or hate him he is capable of good acting when the material is there.

I agree that it was good to see Robert & Anna return. They handled the material well. I thought uncle mac was spot on in his reaction. Really well acted. JT has done a good job with all of his emotional scenes.So far no tears. I liked Elizabeth helping Patrick with his daughter. That rang very true.(I have been in that position more than once). The fish/Robin comparison was perfect. With a young child it is vital to meet them at their own level. Keep the explanation simple.(The child will keep asking "when is mommy coming back " no matter what you say.)
Hate the Windemere stuff,have for a long time.I think someone should wire the 'house' up and detonate the whole thing and leave just a crater where the house used to be. I do enjoy Constance Towers.
Ethan should move out of PC,now.He's overstayed his welcome.
I don't know what they should do with Dante and Lulu. They are both good actors.
I just don't know how this mash up of GH and the other show's characters will work. I would have liked to see Ted King return.Too bad.
If it wanders too far away from GH it won't survive.
I've been a loyal GH viewer through all of the crap writing it would be nice if they didn't turn it into something worse.

The loss of Jake really bugged me because he was 'a generation character' -related to monica,Jason, Elizabeth,Lucky,Edward,Tracey,etc., he could have connected a lot of characters as he grew up.

Why don't they find a storyline for Alexis Davis.Her character is so interesting but they waste NLG's talent.(I've loved her since Santa Barbara).
