Bringonthedrama August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 Britt wants to salvage "what's left of my relationship with Nikolas"? She's as deluded as her mother. Guess someone needs to explain to her that they don't have a "relationship." He's being nice at at time when he's upset because his son disappeared. She's not relieved to find out that Spencer was okay when he didn't show up to meet her; she's upset that their "plan" didn't work. Apparently all the "parental understanding" she had when she was raising "Ben" went out the window. Spencer could not be less funny/more of a brat. The only good part of this little stunt/storyline I liked was seeing Elizabeth drag Spencer out from under Carly's table by his legs. For those wondering, the writing for "Scrubs" today is indeed shitty. And the styling of Kim Mc's new haircut on GH is so not an attractive look. I get it, Robin is supposed to seem cold, clinical, and like her work, not her family is her focus. Gotta love that Ron is just having Patrick bitch her out, rather than the two having an actual real conversation. Blech - that's all I have to say about Carly, NotTodd!Franco, The Nina, and the Lucas 'love triangle.'

CPP83 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 The gay "cat fight" scenes were just...Knots Landing? Really Ron? Can't he just write one of these characters like a fucking human being with a soul? So I'm getting the feeling that now they're going to have both Brad and Felix end up dating Lucas and see who can win his heart, so a mini gay version of the Hunger Games, fantastic. I might actually be on board with that if Brad would end up killing forest. By gosh he was so right about him being a wet, dead fish, glassy eyes and all. Wait a minute...did Ron really have the Nina bring up a story line from Orphan Black? It just doesn't end...he's such a twitter fame whore desperate for as many retweets as he can get. Patrick going off on Robin...I wish Helena was around to take him out, he could not have been more horrid. Does she even know about the divorce papers? I bet not. Hell, after his shitty behavior she should be the one filing and saying "so long, bitch!". God, I just want his smug ass to be sat down somewhere and bashed about the head with something heavy and metal. Nice to see the desk boy wasn't a total idiot and could put three and five together about Sam.

When you have to use a damn app to keep track of your one child and can't see that he ran away because he doesn't want you playing Captain Save A Ho to every woman in town but you invite his rival and crush over for lunch, you suck at parenting. Um, he leaped into Britt's arms. Perhaps your child craves limits and stability. Maybe he actually wants rules. Quit drying Liz's tears or flexing or hair gelling and raise your child, Nik. I mean, damn. Nik doesn't even have a job. Unless Professional Woman Chaser is one. Franco, please. Just get the tumor back. Did Patrick neuter you too? Like I can't.

(Omitting evil fathers) You spend days searching for your son, yet 20 minutes after he returns home, you take your crush into the kitchen and completely dismiss him. You invite over the one person he has no interest in seeing, Cameron. You know that his running away wasn't really about Emma, but instead of digging deeper and having private time with you want to have a play date.

Although it was a little amusing that she was still trying to deny being Sam Morgan when she was standing right next to the huge picture with her face on it. Way to stick to your guns there Sam. But here's a tip from someone that used to do data entry...Always have a backup page ready so you can create a cover story if someone approaches your computer screen when you are surfing the web instead of working. I was expecting her to just whip out her gun from under that huge hoodie she is wearing and knock the dude on his ass. There is still tomorrow I guess.

Robin and Patrick were apart for two years. That affected their relationship. No one will blink an eye if they reluctantly decide they can't live together anymore. The nuclear option isn't necessary here, and it's just making fans angry.

I mean we all see how completely ridiculous Ron has Spencer acting imagine if you had to play a dad to THAT. Nik knew all along Spencer wasn't really hurt, but the what ifs were bothering him, after he was safe and hadn't ever been in any real danger I didn't think he acted too unrealistic, other than the way the writers had him just leave the room with Liz without sending Spencer upstairs first, but that was intentional so Britt would be alone with him.

Even if she was too scared to do it, Patrick -- if he had two brain cells to rub together, or actually gave a crap about his wife, both of which are seriously up for debate -- should have taken Anna aside at some point and said "Robin is afraid we'll all get targeted by Victor Cassadine, but you need to know what's really going on here ...."

Since Victor is the head of the WSB, which Robert still works for and is currently on assignment for, he told Robin he'd kill her parents, her hubby, her child.

SlovakPrincess August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 (edited) WSB, which Robert still works for and is currently on assignment for, Well, that also doesn't make sense for the show to write this, because why is Robert working for the WSB after they turned on him and stole years of his life (as he claimed back in 2007 during the Monkey Virus! epidemic, when he said after the WSB finally released him he was working for some other, better, international health agency or something), and also if the WSB is still doing evil things to good people? And also if it's run by a Cassadine now, and they refused to do anything to Obrecht after what she did to Robin? (Maybe this would make more sense if I watched more than, like, once a month ... but maybe not?)

Evolution101 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 Gotta love how The Insufferable Douchebag tried to make Robin feel guilty for not being at his beck and call when his baby died. Why would you expect her to care about a child you conceived with another woman? What a tool. Lucas, dude...those two nitwits aren't worth it. You can do so much better. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3259-episode-discussion-tfgh/page/111/#findComment-264408
Francie August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 Make up your mind, you weirdo writers who think young gay men in their twenties are obsessed with 80s tv! Well, Ron is a horrible writer who is a middle-aged gay man in his 40s and is obsessed with 80s tv. Not that there's anything wrong with that. And by "that" I mean being gay. And not being the head writer of a show who indulges, without restraint, an obsession with "Yes, I'm a teen, but I don't date, so I watch television with my grandmother" 80's television. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3259-episode-discussion-tfgh/page/111/#findComment-264410
TeeVee329 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 (edited) Because Victor didn't threaten to kill Robin if she told anyone that she was being forced. Since Victor is the head of the WSB, which Robert still works for and is currently on assignment for, he told Robin he'd kill her parents, her hubby, her child. Not in direct words, mind you, but the threat was there, and she was being recorded and spied on before she left. Not that I disagree with your larger point that Victor indirectly threatened everyone around Robin (he totally did!)...but when last we saw Robert, wasn't he off to help Holly rescue Ethan from some con (and presumably get in her English knickers)? Did we get a name check update on his whereabouts I missed? Lucas, dude...those two nitwits aren't worth it. You can do so much better. Lucas himself is starting to lose some luster. Dude, when you're in your twenties, you shouldn't need your mom to nag you to get a job doing...whatever you are qualified to do. You should want one, and want your own place so you don't have to live with a SERIAL KILLER. So Ron doesn't get any points from me for finally acknowledging his joblessness because it should have been addressed FOREVER ago.

CPP83 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 Fuck Ron C. and really, fuck Patrick Drake, who I never did like all that much anyhow since he could never keep his dick in his pants, even when he's 'in love' with someone. The assiest ass that ever did ass. It's why I can't get onboard with Samtrick. I like Sam too much. Let Patrick stay with Sabrina--I dislike both of them and this way I don't have to look at either of them I want to lock this post up in my mansion and hold it hostage. I could not agree more. Sam's pretty much the only female on the show that appears on a regular basis who I like, putting her with a prick like Patrick would just be killer for me. It's always, always, about him and the venom he was spewing at Robin proved it, imo. In Patrick Drake's world the entire universe begins and ends with him, he is to be forgiven but can't be bothered to forgive himself, he's to be loved but hardly gives a true, lasting effort in return, he's to be supported but turns a blind eye when the same is asked or required of him. He's vile to me, just utterly vile. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3259-episode-discussion-tfgh/page/111/#findComment-264442

Did we get a name check update on his whereabouts I missed? Fixed that for you. Robert was name checked as being in Wisconsin. No mention of why he was there or whom he was with. But that doesn't mean anything, as Ron just did it to make a joke of Tristan going to Y&R.

TeeVee329 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 That's right, I do remember the reference to Robert being in Wisconsin (hardy har, Ron). So no frozen Cassadines today?

Fylaki August 6, 2014 Share August 6, 2014 I was going to watch today but once i read all the comments and realized this was one more round of Ron bashing Robin, I deleted it. When is Ron going to get the message that trashing a fan favorite and the ultimate legacy character is just never going to work.

TeeVee329 August 6, 2014 Share August 6, 2014 (edited) Wow, so I sat down and watched the Patrick/Robin scenes, through my fingers and with my jaw dropped. Shut up, Patrick, you fucking douchebag. What Robin said was absolutely right - there might as well be an ocean or a desert between her and her family because she's not working some 9-to-5 job where she gets to punch in and punch out, she's stuck there, until the thumb of an untrustworthy man and his minions, til the job is done. And Patrick whining about Emma being super sad about the baby? When did they happen? Because all I remember is her having shenanigans with the other kiddies all summer. Plus, I thought Robin and Emma have been chatting all the time on Skype, RON!

GHScorpiosRule August 6, 2014 Author Share August 6, 2014 Okay, I am begging here...down on my knees...can some kind soul, have mercy on me and provide the transcript of those scenes? Because I can't afford a new television yet, and just based on everyone's posts, I know I'll go apeshit and throw barware at it. Because, yes, I do have barware In my home. Thank ye kindly.
