What would make too much sense is showing the 2013 July 4th show, which Britt just brought up to remind Nikolas about how they met. The BBQing of Molly's doll baby and Mac's line as he scraped the grill are absolutely worth seeing again. Britt's horror in that moment was hilarious.

Yeah Patrick needs to pull his head out of his ass; he knows Robin leaving wasn't really her choice, and it's plot point stupidity that's making him act like Robin could just leave that clinic and she doesn't want to because Jason's the most important thing to her. Bull! His reasons for wanting her to come home are all about the mess he created while she was "dead" - this woman who idolizes him, had his baby pre-maturely and is a wreck, the baby being in ICU, and Emma being scared about the car accident, Sabrina's pain, and the baby. If Emma had been really hurt or traumatized, or say if Grandpa Noah or Grandpa Robert showed up in Port Charles due to a crisis and the family really needed Robin to be there, then I could understand Patrick's anger/frustration and think it made some sense that he thought she just wasn't trying hard enough to come home. But this is all about Patrick not getting what he wants, and ignoring the obvious so that Ron can make Robin look like a crappy wife and mother. Blech. I don't think Britt asking Spencer to help her get back together with Nikolas is okay because he doesn't know WHY Nikolas broke up with Britt. Does he even know that "Ben" is actually his cousin, Aunt Lulu and Uncle Dante's kid?! The major details would be too much for a little kid to take in, but he's old enough to be told that Britt betrayed Aunt Lulu when she was Aunt Lulu's doctor, and lied to Dad and Aunt Lulu about Ben the entire time she was living at Wyndemere. He might be less likely to help her if he knew the truth. Sure, he likes Britt based on his limited knowledge of her, but the big reason he wants to help her is because he doesn't want Liz and his cousins around because Cam "won" Emma's heart. *RME*. This show is way more tolerable on a day w/o Sonny, Carly, Shawn, Duke, NotTodd!Franco, Luke/Fake Luke, Ava, Sabrina, Felix, Levi, current Lulu, and Kiki,

I found three positive things to say about today's show. 1) Maxie/KSt does look very pretty in that shade of blue. 2) Jason and little Brooke are absolutely believable in their roles as Daddy Patrick and Daughter Emma - great parent/child chemistry. I get the hate for him speculating about him and Robin to Emma, but "I'm not alone - I have you" made me go Awwwwww. 3) TC did a good job w/Nikolas looking very uncomfortable about putting his arm around Britt in response to Spencer's 'whispered' demands. Yep, Britt is not looking any less pathetic to me.

I'm actually wondering if Patrick's outrage at the person (now Rafe) who "killed my son" has more to do with lots of guilt than loss. In a scene with Robin, he'd said "that baby" and he wasn't happy (just generically supportive) about finding out Sabrina was pregnant. He wasn't focused on the unborn Gabriel until Sabrina showed up at the Scorpio-Drake house to go to Emma's dance recital ... plot point writing since the birth was pre-mature later that night. I think he must feel like crap somewhere inside because (since Robin wasn't the one pregnant) this baby's birth wasn't being awaited with great love and anticipation. Patrick was just getting to the point of accepting that he would be a father again, and was ready to open his heart to this baby, so now he's all twisted up inside (plus telling Emma yes you're getting a baby brother, no you're not, this time you really are, nevermind because your brother died).

Yes, the blonde is the re-cast Kate/Connie. That beefy guy is Johnny Zacchara, played by Brandon Barash. He's now married to KSt (the character "Maxie") and they have a baby girl. It's ironic that KSt got pregnant while Maxie was in the middle of her pregnancy w/baby Georgie. Johnny was blackmailed into marriage by Kate/Connie, and he went off to jail. Lexi, Haley and Kelly had great Davis sisters chemistry and yes, they all looked like they could be sisters and daughters of Alexis.

Lola - No, Kristina got back into college last fall when the (second) actress got fired. Molly or Alexis really should have a line about Kristina's fun/exciting internship in ___ because it's now summer and she's still not in PC. *Sigh*. I thought Lexi A. (first actress) was great in the role.

NOOOO dubbel zout - it must be Morgan and Kiki - I can NOT deal with her being an insult to the name. And I agree with you. I figure Ava will end up having Sonny's baby if it goes full-term. That's Baby Mama #7 - or higher- for him?

LOL! Love it! Yeah I think Morgan still feels a little disgust/anger regarding her - the nausea/disgust/anger is now 99% directed at his dad and Ava.What I meant is that I got a hint that he likes talking to her, and was remembering how he felt about her/how they were together (off-screen) before he was hiding out at Ava's place in NY.

It's a little ironic that Molly wonders aloud who would run someone off the road and just drive away, both because she's talking to Rafe and because her elder sister did the same thing with Claudia, and the fetus died. Either Molly doesn't remember that or never knew about it. Haley P. is doing great work, and looks lovely in red. Glad Maxie stood up to Levi, defending ELQ and Edward, esp. because he saved Emma's life. I like that she got genuinely ticked off at him for making generic assumptions. Levi knows zero about the company or Edward, but as always thinks he is all-knowing. So now he's making assumptions about Michael - can a crane please fall on him while he's protesting waterfront development? I'm sure the late Abbey would approve of death-by-crane for a manipulator/abuser. Ugh@Kikikaka. Appealing to the ex-husband you left (while he's shirtless) for his brother in order to get free housing, and referencing how much you've appreciated his help. That's such a Carly move. I do think this is leading to another Kiki-Morgan "thing"/triangle. BC conveyed that Morgan still feels *something* for Kiki. I got the impression that talking together like that about family is how they were together before Michael showed up at Ava's in NY looking for Morgan. Patrick describes Sabrina as a woman he "care(d) very much for" -please let that mean he's realized he never truly loved her and Purina is totally history. Also, it's nice to see JT showing signs of life. Wow, NotTodd!Franco stole Sonny's Orange Glow. Yikes not a good look for Howarth. (Couldn't watch the rest.)

Turtle - Can you imagine Sam attempting to explain to someone that yes, she was once involved with Sonny and they had a daughter who was stillborn, but what's relevant today is that he's her college-age sister's dad, her little sister's uncle, and her new baby cousin's grandfather (or dad) as well. Awkward doesn't even scratch the surface there... Assuming the baby is actually born, I just want to see Carly's head explode in reaction to Monica saying, "Sam, Congrats on the birth of your cousin! *Smirk toward Slagbeast, just a foot away* It didn't occur to me that Carly is his/her grandma." She would of course be thinking 'Karma, that the mother of Carly's grandchild is a woman she hates, both of her own sons hate her now, and Josslyn went to live with Jax permanently because of the Franco situation.'

I really want someone to tell Alexis on-screen that Ava is having either Sonny or Morgan's baby - NLG's WTF?!?!/Ewww face would be epic. Then she gets to tell Sam and Molly that for once, all 3 of her girls are getting either a cousin, sibling, or niece/nephew (Ava is Sam's aunt, Sonny is Kristina's dad and Morgan is her brother, and Sonny is Molly's uncle and Morgan is her cousin). I imagine their reactionary expressions would be screen-cap worthy as well. I can just imagine Sam being like "I have no words..."

Maxie choosing to be with loser Levi when Nathan is an attractive, single, kind/supportive guy with a respectable job reminds me of Brenda or Slagbeast - or any woman really - choosing Sonny when Jax was available. Although Jax obviously has factors like high intelligence, lots of $, and lots of charm in his favor as well. Does. Not. Compute. I could be wrong, but I'm under the impression Dr. O thinks of this "Win the Prince" idea as Britt v. Liz in the same way she thought of herself v. Anna Devane. She sees Anna as beneath her for a bunch of reasons, and figures hey I never "won" but Britt can because "that Webber girl" is just a lowly nurse, not a child of brilliant people, won't wear a bikini like Britt, and isn't adored by Nik's son like Britt is.

Hey, it's summer - all the power to Sam for showing off great cleavage and legs. I WISH my legs looked that good!! I see too many women in this world showing too much cleavage or leg when (often due to weight) theirs are more cringe-worthy than attractive, and I wonder if they actually look in their mirrors before leaving home. I liked that Patrick told her she looked great, after that idiot Silas just left her in the park to run home to cray-cray. I think Patrick may subconsciously like Sam (more than he ever had "feelings for" Sabrina) but with everything that's happened with Robin's return and exit and the rollercoaster with Britt, Sabrina as well as all the associated baby drama, his mind just hasn't gone there. Also, he has no idea if Robin really could bring the Jasoncicle back to life. Patrick actually speaks, in real sentences, is a doctor, and can have real conversations with Sam that aren't about Sonny/mob/Michael, so that automatically makes him 1,000% better than Jason even if he's only ever Sam's friend.

Watched the Nathan/Maxie/Levi scene and I think KSt did a great job of showing that Maxie knows Nathan must be right about Levi being the source to snitch to the judge. The tears and the "I don't want to hear this/just want the day to be over" speaks to her denial and wanting so badly for Nathan to be wrong when she knows it couldn't have been anyone else. Levi was the one who didn't want her to see her daughter, and wanted Nathan out of Maxie's life/apartment. She knew that. She just doesn't want to believe that after this period of "growth," she chose and brought home a lying, manipulative freeloader who doesn't respect her. Also, Sam must be annoyed (deep down) that Nina is the new Carly in her life. Jason was constantly running off to help/save Carly while he was w/Sam because of Michael and his long history w/Carly. Now Silas is having Nina live w/him,and running to her when she calls to say "Help." Nina hates Sam now like Carly hated Robin when she found out Jason was in love w/Robin.

I think Patrick's outrage about Robin saying (via phone) she's not coming home immediately/staying put to revive Jason was too much. Emma was scared about being in the car accident and Sabrina/baby (what child wouldn't be), but not injured or traumatized. Traumatized is Kristina witnessing her big sis shoot somebody, screaming her head off, then going mute. Seems like Patrick wanted Robin there to love/attend to Emma while he's at the hospital attending to Sabrina and the baby. I think he also wants to be able to lean on his wife for emotional support. What's gotten lost there is that Patrick (in theory) is better equipped to help Emma feel better after the accident because he is also her parent and he was driving their car. That phone conversation/argument didn't seem like it was all about Emma's needs - more like "I can't handle all this, so you need to come home right now."

Levi trying to be Maxie's hero in court, vomit-worthy. KSt did a terrific job with her monologue, though. "If Kiki can forgive you, so can I." Vomit-worthy. I do like seeing Tracy attempt to manipulate Michael. But everything Kiki...go AWAY you stupid b. Tracy's "Kiki kaka line" makes me think TWOP was actively trolled. "I'm moving in." Molly, there are days you make it really hard to like you. Even when your mother is being stupid. Sam's hair, pretty top - so lovely. Living sans Jason agrees with her. Wow is Nina manipulative. I hate what I heard while eavesdropping through the door, so I'll just imply that Sam is clearly still in love with her late husband.

Favorite lines of the day... Dante to Sonny: "You selfish son of a bitch" Morgan to NotTodd!Franco: "No one asked you" Tracy snarking at Michael and his worthless gf was a nice ending. Good to see Tracy interacting with her grandnephew about the family business instead of being All. About. TG's Gross Current Character.

Gotta love that Sonny tells Dante "you're lucky" re: walking into his home and telling him what to do because he's "my son" - as they are standing in the area where Sonny shot Dante in the chest a few years ago. Glad Dante was not taking his father's usual douche behavior.

NuJoss is SO the daughter Carly deserves - love it!!! I hope that the worst mother ever award is polished and ready for when Carly is finished browbeating her little girl into accepting NotTodd!Franco into their home. BTW Carly, that little bit of pain your girl caused him is absolutely nothing compared to the pain inflicted on your 'treasured' first born son thanks to him. Only Carly would see how angry/upset her child is and want to be all kissy face with Psycho. I really hope that is Joss's permanent nickname for him. (Yay Jax!) I can't even - re: Sonny's threats/insults to Julian. Kiki and Morgan repeat, coming soon? Sam - yes The Nina is clearly trouble but she and Silas aren't worth it. Also, I have a slight headache from that Jason anvil.

On the one hand I'm amused that upon learning of Ric's "death," Nic ditches his conversation with Britt to go running to find Elizabeth. On the other hand, he's a total douche to want to go find her when his cousin Molly is the one really suffering because she thinks her dad got killed. Molly could use an adult male family member to lean on - who's not a greasy criminal that is. Nikolas and Sam should both show up to comfort Molly.

Yes, that is indeed Kerr Smith - I remember him as Jack on DC. I knew immediately by the stricken look on his face when Callie was talking, and the way he was staring at her, that he would turn out to be her bio father. So he must have been a young guy (early to mid 20s?) when he left Callie's mom. Great casting for the role of the younger half-sister. She certainly looks a lot like actress MM. I too was thinking, C'mon Brandon, 'fess up to your dad that his gf is guilty of statutory rape. The sooner that woman is gone, the better. Lovely seeing Callie have a mom go toe-to-toe with the judge to get her back. Poor girl!

We all totally called it that Anna and Nathan set up that "shot fired" scenario so the three could fake Ric's death. But it's cruel to allow Molly to think her dad died. I felt for her when she saw the bodybag. Both BH and HP did a great job looking shell-shocked. I totally get Elizabeth believing he's gone, because she has no reason to think that Anna would lie to them. Same for Molly. So is Maxie going to dump Levi now? Hoping so - nice to see her old backbone coming to life. Go away Levi, so we don't have to see your horrid self/hair anymore. That is some serious manipulation going on from The Nina, but at least she knows Silas said ILY to Sam/that Silas wants her to stay because he feels obligated to her. Purina - Yeesh.

KeMo looks so beautiful in actual feminine top with some color in it. While pink is a lovely color on Becky Herbst, an outfit that emphasizes how thin she is, I find disturbing. Sabrina's acting the same way now as she did with the non-wedding and Robin's return - no tears, wanting the funeral to be "perfect", wanting to focus on thank you notes. Sobby needs some therapy, stat. How could she put on her wedding dress, didn't they get rid of it? The Nina is somewhere between a young girl with developmental issues, manipulative and Koo Koo for Koko Puffs. Yikes. Methinks Rafe is going to die from drugs. Uberdouche behavior today! Also pretty clear he's the hit and run driver responsible for the Purina baby's death. Ric lost points for putting Elizabeth above Molly in importance. And no Molly, Elizabeth "dating" Rick does not make her "practically family." I get Molly's hostility toward Alexis, but geez dial it down w/the demanding attitude toward Commissioner Anna.

I realize the reason I mostly liked today was I'm interested in 10 characters out of about 14 who appeared - all of whom are true GHers. Some mentioned relevant GH character history, recent and not-so-recent. And the majority are portrayed by actors who know their lines and have talent. Most of the characters we complain about currently weren't on today, so yay.

Re: the Elizabeth-Britt scenes - Britt really is just a 16-year-old girl in a woman's body. I wish Monica had happened to hear Britt's AJ bash and issued a smackdown as she was going at Elizabeth. Good to see Diane!! Really good Diane-Elizabeth. Diane was mostly right, although she was a little wrong because Liz hasn't "fallen for" Ric. Nice of Ron to have a character acknowledge this is a repeat of the AJ downfall. Super sweet/well done Molly-Ric scenes. That's the first time I've believed Ric loves his daughter. Great job by Hearst. Nikolas looks great. I'm so amused at his jab at Britt and Brad. Love that Alexis-Nikolas relationship, I like that she called him out. Also, Brad really is just an immature teenager at heart as well. Ugh. Re Previews: Don't tease Samtrick, show. It's not nice.
