Oh, OK. I guess that's better than her not being on-screen at all, as I originally thought was the case. I do hope she sticks around a bit longer to work opposite Billy Miller.

Being an A.J. fan was definitely frustrating. He was ALWAYS in the wrong. Every.single.time. I don't think I've ever watched a show where an alcoholic was deemed more horrific than murderers.

Does anyone know KMc's current status with GH? I was under the impression that she was gone for the foreseeable future, but read a spoiler elsewhere that she was appearing on 9/17. Is she just coming back for 2-3 episode stints now?

Exactly. None of this should be foreign to Patrick. A part of me understands why it has to be this way, but I also believe that this type of story is the wrong way to go when an important character is no longer on the show.

THIS. If Patrick has an inkling of a feeling that Victor is dangerous and may be putting people's lives in danger, which happens to include the mother of his child, I think he should tell Sam, Anna, Dante, Spencer, I don't even care who. With the dire circumstance, I just don't think it matters if the Jason information hurts Sam or puts a damper on Sam/Patrick's budding romance. I surprisingly enjoyed the Emma/Patrick scenes today. I think it's realistic for Emma to act out and be upset that Robin isn't around (And I don't think Robin looks bad, but then again, I don't think anything was ever really her CHOICE. Yes, she wanted to help Jason, but even if she said no, Victor wasn't going to accept that). I'd rather this be Emma's main storyline for now than anything involving Joss/Spencer/Cameron. I don't think I'm ever going to like the children acting/dressing/speaking like adults. Patrick calling the clinic like nothing was quite hilarious, though. Did he really think someone was going to put him through to Robin? I don't have any attachments to Sam/Silas, but when Sam was looking through the window toward Silas in his office at the beginning of the episode, along with her continued obsession with Nina, I think she still appears to be in love with him. Not sure where it's going, but it was an interesting moment to showcase if they're moving Sam to Patrick. I liked the sweet moment between Carly/Liz remembering Jake. Sam/Patrick babbling about his beard AGAIN in the middle of a serious conversation will never not be DUMB. Timing, people.

This was mentioned a few pages back, but I was a fan of Billy Warlock’s A.J. I especially loved his bond with Skye in the early ‘00s. Warlock and Robin Christopher had kickass chemistry.

You hit on the head the majority of my problem with the current storyline, besides the fact that Patrick talks about Robin like she was someone he knew in high school. Patrick’s dilemma no longer has to do with Robin. It’s not about him believing his wife chose Jason and/or the field of medicine over coming home to their family. It’s not even about her safety working at the shady clinic for a shady Cassadine. His struggle is now solely about Sam and his romantic future with her. On-screen, all I see is a guy who wants to keep the Frozen!Jason! information to himself because he has feelings for Sam. All this, of course, under the guise that he just doesn’t want to “hurt” Sam. Agree. The severity of the situation with Robin combined with Patrick’s visit with Sam was out of place and inappropriate. You can tell JT/KeMo are happy to be working together. I do think that some of the flirting comes off as a bit forced sometimes, especially the 1,000-watt smiles they’ve had recently.

The SECOND Jason is spotted, Patrick, realistically, should spill the beans to anyone with half a brain and get a search party together. But the only way that type of story works is for Robin/KMc to physically be on the show for a significant period of time, especially after she's finally found and everything is out in the open. I've watched soaps for a very long time and there has to be some type of payoff after so much tragedy. And for some reason, Ron doesn't think that applies to Robin's character. I know this is all dependent on the actress pursuing other goals, but then I think Robin should either be recast or written off for now. It's nearly impossible to have a character in the middle of a MAIN storyline and not be present.

I understand that Robin/KMc is no longer on the show*, but the way Patrick is so flip about Robin’s situation and “at peace” about his impending divorce kind of makes him an unfeeling idiot in my eyes, which I’m sure isn’t the intention. Two seconds after speaking with Sabrina about the fact that Victor is most likely threatening Robin and may have run them off the road, he’s smiling and semi-flirting with Sam about…his beard. Sabrina debunked his theory, but does she really have so much clout with Patrick that he’s completely ready and willing to let it go? And it seems like the only reason he’s OK with letting it go is so he doesn’t have to tell Sam about Jason. So a part of him believes Victor is dangerous, but he doesn’t want to tell Sam about Jason, so screw Robin and her well-being! Also, having Alexis push Sam toward Patrick was laughable. She was nearly giddy that Patrick/Robin were divorcing and I just don’t think that was true to her character. Sidenote…did the writers completely whitewash that Patrick wanted Robin to leave Jason to die? Or the fact that he despised Jason and didn’t care if he came home to Sam/Danny? I think those are far more dramatic points in the Sam/Patrick love story than anything else. *I don’t get how this storyline works without Robin on-screen. So Jason comes back and Robin is where exactly? Still being held against her will and no one cares to look for her? Actually, that sounds about right at this point.
