5/31 Heard in the Waiting Room

Daytime Confidential has an interesting theory that GH has been letting go of actors or reducing them to recurring characters in order to free up cash. But for what? Tinfoil hats needed? or are they on to something...

Patrick suppose to be so overwhelmed becuase legally he's noting to her and he's not allowed to know her medical condition and that scarces the hell out of him.
Only Mac is told first and then of course he shares with Patrick but because of HIPPA even kelly can't say a word to him.
That will start things turning around for him. (source)

Okay I think I get the Scrubs story : Robin is rushed to the hospital and must stay on bedrest for a while but there is complications but Patrick is shut out because he has no rights yet to the baby and robin , so he freaks out and hire Diane to give him some rights but Mac call alexis to defend robin's rights then things go the comedy route until it gets serious again and patrick thinks he and robin should get married so he could have some rights on robin and the baby , robin of course fights it because his reasons for marrying her are not really the ones she wants etc ..then Anna and Noah come back to be in the middle of all this , and I can actually see it end as a wedding , ELi sings at the wedding and all .
That isn't it. Robin doesn't shut him out at all at the hospital. He is right there with her and Kelly when she gets her prognosis. This is a set up for him to decide that he wants to be daddy. If you notice right before that he i still unsure.
thanks...so why does he seek legal advice? and why do scrubs fight ?
He seeks legal advice because he wants to know what his options are in regards to shared custody.
Patrick, Patrick ... this blows. Why must he do this while she is in the hospital? I swear, I think Patrick is ramping up her stress levels with all his crap.
She still isn't in the hospital. The health scare is elevated blood pressure and she is put on a few days of bed rest.
Sorry I don't get that. Patrick would automatically have more rights after the baby is born.
Custodial rights. Marriage is not something Robin is considering at all.
And what is her medical scare having to do with?
Thanks for answering.
One more time. Her medical scare is a plot device to make Patrick realize he wants to be daddy. That is all it is. right before that he is still struggling over what role he wants to take in the baby's life.

Robin doesn't shut Patrick out at all. Mac is the one that hires Alexis and not Robin.
Patrick wants to be the one that makes the decisions for Robin and the baby when something goes wrong and not Mac. He argues with mac, and Robin is not thrilled at all, but she doesn't hire Alexis, Mac does.
insider what does patrick do when mac hires Alexis?
He hires Diane to get some legal control over Robin and the baby. He also wants to be her doctor.
Insider,
Can you tell us what the health crisis is, and is Robin IN the hospital for more then a day?
She has elevated blood pressure. She is out of the hospital after a few days. (source of the above)

Okay here I go again. You guys are making too big of a deal out of all of this. The health scare is a catalyst for Patrick deciding he wants to be daddy. There is no big deal made about Patrick not being able to make decisions for Robin because Robin is awake for most of it and Patrick is given full access. Robin is skeptical of his sudden turn around but open and Mac is even more skeptical. Patrick decides he should figure out what his rights are. Goes to a lawyer. Mac misreads that. Eggs Robin on. She gets her own lawyer. Comedic antics ensue.
want to make clear that Patrick is not seeking full custody. He realizes that since he and Robin are not co-habitating that some sort of custody thing needs to be drawn up so he goes to a lawyer to start that process and yes he needs a lawyer for that as does Robin.
Yes. The resolution to the "tension" (hijinks tension) is them deciding they should live together. SI and Guza both spelled out this story for you all.
1) The health scare makes him realize he wants to be daddy.
2) Next he is simply seeking information. What he does is misconstrued.
Oh of course. Patrick the eternal victim of big bad Robin.
That isn't what happens as well. There are misunderstandings all around. Over zealous lawyers. It is Guza's brand of humor.
There isn't a custody battle. It doesn't reach battle levels.
So Patrick and Robin are in a good place during this?
I said before . Think of it as the blog wars combined with the vegas trip.
I get your point but you also have to understand that as JJY just backed me up it isn't just that Robin turns him down. It is also that Mac is coming on very strong. He is freaked and wants to make sure he understands what his rights are.
thanks for all the scoops, and sorry, I hope you know the frustration we are all feeling over this isn't directed at you, but at this stupid storyline.
The storyline isn't the best, but it could be worse.
From the sounds of it, Mac is what makes things worse and it just snowballs from there into a whole bunch of misunderstandings.

NOT legals rights to fight robin but to make sure the baby's father is there for the baby if anyting happens to the baby's mom. HE wants to be the dad and legally without marriage (which she refuses cuz she thinks that's the only reason he wants to marry her) he needs paper. paper so that NOT mac or any state person can take custody is she were to die. Because he loves the muffin.
Wrong. It isn't about her dying. It is just to see what his rights in general are because she is not open to his hey we should get hitched proposal. If she were to die it wouldn't be an issue because he would get custody. It is about custody since they aren't married.

in regards to Patrick and Robin they will have thier usuall misunderstandings but will work it out and yes they do get married this fall
I dont know as much about them as I do Jason and Liz but thats what i do know,
"Jake"

He wants joint custody.
What? Since when? He doesn't even want the kid.
th scare is a catalyst for him wanting to be daddy,

Let me spell this out. Patrick's first thought after his epiphany is we should get hitched. Robin shoots that down. Mac is threatening. Patrick is freaked. He goes to see what his rights are. It gets blown out of proporation. Diane/Alexis add fuel to the comedic fire. Misunderstandings abound. No one at first approaches this rationally. It is Guza's brand of humor. Yes it will probably be not funny. Yes it will probably be insulting to Robin and I would even guess Alexis (since they are favorite targets of his) but it isn't a serious custody battle or even really a battle. (source of the above)

Robin's health crisis kicks Mac into action. He hires Alexis in case she can't make her own decisions.
Robin has a health scare and has to be taken to GH

anyone? what did JJY say about his scenes with patrick?
He said they were top secret. But he's done 3 shows where he's been in Patrick's face over Robin. He's watching out for Robin. He said it was funny SK asked the question because he's in the middle of doing these very scenes right now.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Scrubs is broken up for Night Shift. Appears where this is all heading. He's looking to secure joint custody which means they are broken up and he wants to make sure he can legally have his kid. Someone must tell him babies are chick magnets.
They aren't. This is over and done with and they are living together by the time NSII airs.

um that lasted 2 weeks, this is through july according to Guza. The baby isn't even born, and Patrick is already looking to get his piece of the pie while the woman he "loves" is in the hospital.
It happens in July but doesn't last the whole month. It ends by the second week.
Also Robin isn't in the hospital that whole time. In fact she is out by the end of the week of 6/16. (source of the above)

Season 2 of Night Shift will be shot in High Definition, and feature continuity between GH and Night Shift. Also, given the recent spat between CBS and Finola Hughes, it's likely there is more merit in the return of Antonio Sabato Jr (ex-Jagger) rather than Jack Wagner (ex-Frisco) from The Bold & The Beautiful.

Scene Insider:
SI, anything to add on whether Leyla gets a mom and what the purpose of the story would be? And why involve Scrubs?
I'm going to say this again because I feel bad that people keep asking.
For a while I dropped off Scrubs info anonymously but now I've let people know who I am, I will not be dropping off anything related to Scrubs or the character of Leyla.
It works out better for everyone. This way I can't be accused of spinning information intentionally to get a rise out of Scrubs fans. I can't be accused of intentionally withholding information or only sharing negative information on these characters.
Summer Insider/SI
Who gets good feedback that would be surprising to onliners?
I touched on that last night.
Lulu is popular. Johnny is.
Anything Quartermaine.
I don't want to get to far into it because I'm sure I'll be called a liar and it'll be like painting a target on my forehead.
I'll say this board would probably be very surprised by what stories, characters, actors and couples the offline fans appreciate and who they'd like to disappear.
Summer Insider/SI
And I'm betting most offliners aren't the ones writing the letters. It's probably mostly onliners. We are the lunatics invested in the show.
Mail isn't how they weigh onliners and offliners but then again mail counts for about 25% of feedback.
Polls count Zero.
Focus Groups/Surveys is where they get their numbers.
Very easy to identify offliners and onliners there.
Summer Insider/SI
SI--So my question is, if the Qs are still so popular with fans, and I know there are a bunch of save the Q campaigns, is it just a total disregard for what the audience wants, or just that Guza has no use for the Qs?
Tracy is the only Q who gets anything, and that I am sure is because she is married to Luke.
The problem is while they're loved. When people are asked who they want to see featured, no one picks them.
Summer Insider/SI
Because mailcount isn't a true representation of the actor/characters popularity. They use the focus groups for that. Even the list you have there isn't fact. MW does fantastic with mail and she's consistantly in the top 5 I don't see her on your list.
With focus groups, she's liked with Sonny but on her own she's ignored.
Summer Insider/SI
The Scrubs/Jax baby is a lie I never vouched for that. The wedding is a different story. That was dropped when Guza came back. The wedding was pushed back but it's still coming.
Summer Insider/SI
That's not what I said.
After giving out Jason & Liz would be married someone made a comment along the lines of "there's goes scrubs getting married". I asked why they thought that. My intent was finding out why one wedding automatically meant a second couldn't happen.
I never spoiled a wedding for Scrubs. Some people jumped to that conclusion.

Patrick's fears are confirmed when Robin collapses
Leyla's mom is another kind of trouble for Robin and Patrick (source)

-Robin a summer bride with Patrick by her side.
One last tidbit: This summer is all about redeption. Not redeption of the characters, but redeption of the writers and producers. With Night Shift 2 looming over Robert and Jill's head, they want to make sure that the mothership sails far ahead of its spinoff.
Do you know if we'll see much of Robin and Patrick on GH?
Robin and Patrick's airtime on General Hospital will continue to be 3 + days a week. Please remember that I said that Jill and Robert are going to make this the summer of redeption. The last thing they want is for Sri and Lisa's ratings to be almost as much as a nationally syndicated daytime drama.
do you know how they end up on NS again?
The latest information I have does not indicate this, as I do not have specific Night Shift scoops, as I do General Hospital. I will come back with more information when that becomes available to me.
Bob and Jill are going to have a lot of work to do, especially if the writers of NS2 are as good as we think they will be.
Sri and Lisa are going to be a winning team. Jill and Robert know this and lets say that the once WWIII over at Prospect has become more harmonious.
Thanks! Any NS tidbits? Or BIs?!
You're welcome. Night Shift, from what I heard is going to start out with Robin and Patrick as a solid couple, but much of the happenings will be focused on the birth of their baby. The other stories will include many new cast members as well as Ephiphany ruling the ER with her iron fist. I can say that scoops, etc are kept really close to the vest right now. General Hospital leads into the start of Night Shift.
You asked for more and you are getting it:
-Leyla's mom is set to come to General Hospital in June. She is there for a few days to usher Leyla back across the pond.
Any other questions?
-redeption.
As much fun as some "insiders" have on here with backstage hate and hostility, there really is not any. There is no hate for one actor and there is no love fest. To say that each actor on this show does their job and goes home is pretty accurate. Yes, some are friends, but beyond that, nothing. These grand romances that people have between NLG/SR and JT/KMc are grand ideas and there is nothing of truth to them. Prospect is like any other office, just that these people happen to be on TV.
--redeption.
OHH! Do you see any big stories happening this summer, or are they all gonna be little ones?
Seriously, no gimmicks at all. Night Shift Season 2 will be a great blessing for all. This summer is going to give us storylines that some fans could only pipe dream about.
-redeption
Robin and Patrick's wedding --- big or small wedding?
Big and Jason and Liz's wedding does not happen this summer. Not sure where the other information came from, but no one knows what is going on in November, no one.
--redeption
cool thanks. Who going to be there and Are Kim and Jason close friends?
Anna, Noah, Eli, Lainey, Kelly, Liz, Epiphany, Leo, Coleman (yes, even he), and many more.
Kimberly and Jason are friends. What you see on screen (playful wise, not romantic) is really how they are. Laughing and joking with one another.
--redeption
Redeption: Anything on the "big story" for Robin and Anna?
The big story? Yeah, a little too premature for me to even speculate on that one. When I do find something out, I will let you know.
-redeption
Redeption-Who's dying??
Dying? On SD, it is always poor Mac or Edward. John and John always laugh over what they hear from the younger set in regards to their impending characters "death." No one is dying, unless you count the ratings?
--redeption
redeption-Has Audrey been on set? Why?
It is news to Rachel Ames that she has been on set. And Jackal, Audrey is not dying, sorry.
-redeption.

VM is back for 6 months starting in july

Only on SD would an insider spending the day on the board be construed as bad. If you don't believe them then simply scroll or provide your own info. As far as I can tell SI/Summer Insider is the same SI from the old board.
Happy Memorial day.
Thanks to all who PM'd me. (source of the above)

Not taking questions or dropping off scoop since I promised myself that I would never do that again. But I have seen some stuff in the insiders lounge that is just letting fanbases in for a fall. So I want to point out some things that are false:

5/26 Heard in the Waiting Room

Jason Thompson was interviewed by the Edmonton Sun about the current storyline

"When you start thinking about it, it is a big responsibility," says Thompson, weighing in on the fatherhood issue. "I can relate to that. Everybody has a certain fear -- I know I do, personally -- when it comes to committing to anything, whether it's a relationship or having a child or talking about going bungee jumping, or whatever.

"I absolutely love kids. I love being around them," Thompson admits. "I definitely want my own some day. So for me to play not wanting to have kids has been a little difficult."

SoapNet has ordered 13 episodes of GH: Night Shift, with production beginning next month. The series will premiere on July 22nd. Frons said that while the second season of Night Shift is being led by new executive producer Lisa De Cazotte (NBC’s Passions, ABC’s All My Children, One Life To Live) and head writer Sri Rao (MTV’s What Goes On, off-Broadway’s Precipice), they are sharing the acumen and advice of Robert Guza, Jr. and Jill Farren Phelps.

Chat Up:
Hey Chatup -
Can you chime in regarding rumors we are hearing of Francesca James meeting with Frons and the possibility of JFP being forced out?
Any validity there?
There has been at least one meeting that I have heard of (a while ago)
If I were a betting person I would say JFP is out before Guza
Hi Chat Up hope you are having a nice weekend! I have a question, Is the Scrubs Storyline still moving along, albeit slowly but still moving toward what we were told about (proposal and wedding)?
Thanks
yes
CU- I realize sweeps just ended this week, but based on the numbers, would May sweeps for GH get a grade of A, B, C, D or F.
D
CU, are the female vets still ready to leave or are higher ups going to make things better for them?
I apologize if I gave the impression they were out the door. They are looking at options - what is available and what kind of move they could make.
The recent FH fiasco has done nothing to make anyone feel better about things
Chatup -
Why is the pressure more on JFP than Guza? I don't get why there have been writing changes and producer changes at both of the other ABC shows, but virtually no changes at GH?
There are backstage politics at play with JFP that I'm not privy to.
In all fairness both AMC and OLTL were in greater need of changes. I remain hopeful that Frons will now be focusing his attention to fixing GH
CU, do you personally believe Frons has the talent and/or vision to do that?
My personal opinion is that he does have a good ability to identify the right people for certain positions (yes, yes, Guza sucks, I know) and that if he is truly intent on fixing GH then he will ensure he's got the best
If he's only making a half hearted effort then no, I don't believe he can do that
CU,
What is the word on the SAG strike, will it effect GH at all?
It's not looking good at this point. Daytime will not be affected
Chat up? Can you share anything on the Finola fiasco??
It was very, very poorly handled and is part of the larger abc/cbs turf war going.
many who work both behind and in front of the camera were disheartened by it
CU,
Any chance that once JFP is gone Frons can get the folks back on board who brought the great 11/06-2/07 days at GH that lead into and during the MC sweeps?
Pretty sure hell would need to freeze over first
I have a question about that.
How does Guza accept, or even get nominated for an emmy, for htat storyline if he didn't write it.
Isn't it a violation of all kinds of great big WGA rules and regulations for Smith(or anyone else) to have made contributions to that story but not been credited for it?
There are story consultants and writers. He was the writer, the other was the consultant.
If you can answer, will what happened affect the amount of FH's participation this summer in the Scrubs story?
I don't know at this point but I remain very skeptical about the "big" story as it didn't reflect anything I had heard this spring
CU, are TPTB unhappy that JT had an emergency to take him offscreen in early sweeps. Then a vacation during sweeps and now some type of surgery. They can't be thrilled right now
Not that I'm aware of. They are well aware that emergencies - personal, medical whatever - happen and they do their best to accommodate
What is the word on FH? She OK? Or when the summer is over will she ever be back? And KMc? How is she after this mess?
I was told they were both pissed
I hear long weekends are a good time for fishing - careful of the bait.

Patrick's favorite hobby lands him in the hospital and in hot water with Robin.
Robin believes any progress Patrick made in proving he would be a responsible father has been lost. Until he grows up and proves he's responisble, he's just the guy who got her pregnant.

Someone is dying this summer. I don't want to say who because I'm not 100% sure the actor involved knows about it yet. I think they probably do, and if they don't know for sure, they probably won't be surprised but still, I remember a few years ago word of something like this actually broke on the internet before the actor got word and that was unfortunate so its better to not say until the actor has acknowledged himself(Or herself--dont want to drop any clues here)
The death will be as a result of mob violence.

Someone is having fun with the board this weekend.
Audrey isn't dying and Liz isn't dying or "dying".
If you want to know who the male is who is dying you might want to ask Paula Zahn.
Pa'u Zhaan (source of the above)

Just thought I'd drop in some scoops coming up:
Patrick will ask Robin to move in with her

anything on scrubs?
Scrubs share five scenes this week Tuesday. The week of June 2 they're on three days.
Thanks. So they're only on on Tuesday this week?
Robin is on Wed.
Insider does Patrick get injured?
Does Patrick propose?
Patrick gets injured off-screen while racing. He does not propose as of the week of the week of June 9
Thanks-what prompts him to go racing and does he go alone?
Nothing prompts him. He just says he was racing at the track and ran into a wall. He's not acting out if that's what you're asking. (source of the above)

insider, Is Robin pissed at Patrick? Does Robin tell him to grow up?
No. She actually tells him to tone it down.
So she doesn't shut him out?
No. She lets him in.
this is for the week of the 2nd?
The 8th

Robin is not mad at Patrick and they don't even fight.

what does Patrick ask spin to do? tia
Its something to do with Robin's blog, but I'm not sure so I don't want to post something that may not be true.

Liz and Jason will both work together to protect Jake, and Scrubs have a health scare. That is all I can give.

Does the health scare bring them closer or push them farther apart? Thanks
Closer, but with lot's of fear from Patrick about losing Robin

TIOLI:
TIOLI! My first favorite SD insider (the Stuart stuff was my first hit off the Soap Dish crack).
Can you share anything about what is happening/happened with Finola?
I can only offer a guess based on what I know to be happening backstage right now - and that she would not want to rock the boat for her friend(s). I'm sure someone "asked her" to not appear, as it would impact story already planned. Whether FH believes it or not, I'd say not. Again, my own hypothesis.
Hmm. So would another certain petite brunette that has known Finola for most of her life have paid the price for Finola jumping to Y&R in your opinion?
And is there really a big story planned or is it like it sounds a bunch of smoke?
My opinion?
Yes and considering all stories are put on hold - including theirs - it's smoke.
Thanks for the answer. Lived through FH upsetting the apple cart backstage back in 92. Do you know if there is big meaty story for her this summer or if it is like last summer's Eli stuff? Thanks for posting tonight. You are much appreciated!
I almost didn't post, as I have been annoyed most nights when I have peeked in here.
TIOLI...any idea why the Scrubs baby story is being written as comedy and not dramatic and meaningful as it should be?
Sadly, I believe it's a case of someone believing they have more time than they actually do to pen this story. With all pens poised to rehabilitate their returning Diva - the way to "stretch" the other stories is either inaction, minimal "meat" or filler/fluff.
TIOLI,Does Jason Thompson have legit primetime offers ?
He's been approached as well as made inquiries.
I think TIOLI2 would be confusing. My preference is that they just use another name - I don't see it as being that difficult.
Anna is not going to ever be Mother of the Bride on GH. If and this is a big if, Robin and Patrick get married, it will be some quick elope to Las Vegas before either backs out wedding. With no guests and if not off screen probably their last scene and they never come back to PC
I believe the point the poster was trying to make is that however misguided, ABCD would prefer that FH not appear as MOTB on another network with them having a potential wedding story in the works.
Morning TIOLI, Do you know anything about the drop in the IL about Jason Thompson auditioning for a role on Brothers and Sisters?
G'morning. No, I haven't heard any specifics.
morning, were you the one Dropping off the info in the IL?
Good Morning - no I was not. I have not posted info on the new board since it's inception. I will not be around too much though - at least not posting info - but someone sent me a PM yesterday to sign on, as they were confused about a drop.

Chat Up:
Anything good behind the scenes lately, Chatup? Anything bad behind the scenes?
Things are getting very dicey behind the scenes. The tension between the HW and the EP is getting worse and it's trickling down to the cast
There are at least 4 cast members currently looking at options - the rehabilitation of Claudia, which shows no end, has made a few question why they are there
Cu you said 2 females are looking at other options...got any hints, age range etc
both are vets -one on the younger side than the other
Hey Chat up long time no chat...So the cast is not liking the rehab of Claudia. Wow it's a shame. Thing must be tension filled on the set
Things are not great - it's as bad now as it has been in quite some time
So is this is whats causing the tension between the EP and HW?
The HW blames the EP for everything going wrong during the strike and making a mess he can't fix.
The EP thinks the HW is undermining her. She also doesn't agree with his rehab program but he claims it's her fault he needs one to begin with
Are these cast members all female?
No.
CU - if you were a betting woman, what do you think is going to happen between the EP and HW and who do you think will be leaving and/or which arcs are going to do a 180? TIA (Have you watched Cranford yet?)
hey anon!
I did and it was good!
My guess is the EP will be out the door first - either to another show or out for good.
As for storylines - I'm not comfortable guessing
CU can correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a feeling CBS recognizes the position she [Finola Hughes] was in with ABC's pettiness.
Probably - and if she did infact sign a contract, there likely was some kind of out clause given her prior committment to ABC which CBS would have been fully aware of
What went wrong during the strike? I didn't see anything major that couldn't have been tweaked. The mess was not in the introduction/writing of the character but in deciding to hire her in the first place.
hey deedee - that would be where you and the HW have a fundamental different point of view. He believes she would have been a hit if only handled properly
ChatUp who is most unhappy now? Kimson and Burton?
Kimberly is said to wanting to move the story on to the more serious material
Burton is accepting where things are for now.
How many of the actors that are considering other options are female? And have you heard anything about VM?
2
nothing concrete beyond the "it would be great if she came back"
have you heard anything about Chuck Pratt moving to the 90210 spin-off that is coming out this fall. the main reason I'm interested is because I heard a rumor that he was doing this and was interested in taking two current GH actors along for the ride.
You heard anything about that?
I have heard that he is attached to the project but I haven't heard anything about taking actors
Is Jason Thompson happy with Patrick and Robin's story?
the last I heard - which was a few weeks ago - he was not overly pleased
How come some people can post GH on Yt and others get shut down? Do you know how TPTb feel about the show being on YT. Why don't they put the episodes up on ABC.com.
I do know that if the videos are sent to their attention, then the laywers will recommend they act on it but beyond that i don't know
Chat Up can you expand on the Frons sees Scrubs as cash cows drop from the weekend and why it doesn't show up that way onscreen or in story for them
I wouldn't want to put words in PA's mouth so this is my interpretation - Frons is aware that Scrubs are popular - hence NS - and that there is much storyline potential that could garner mainstream press (except they aren't going there but that's another story...)
This rehab project is really hurting the show. Isn't the EP strong enough to stand up to the HW?? I guess I've answered my own question. :lol:
She's having her legs cut out from underneath her
So chatup, you have lost hope that the Scrubs story really won't be told? And Frons doesn't care enough to make it told well?
I wouldn't say that. It is taking much longer than what I was orginally told it would

Robin - Braxton Hicks - July

Robin is surprised with Anna comes to her doorstep in full grandma mode.

Robin/Patrick are one of the strongest couples out of the bunch. They will have some sweet moments together and experince many "firsts" with their bundle of joy. But that doesn't mean their won't be hard times. Expect alot of bumps in their journey to parenthood.
That is all I have for right now. Ciao!

Robin deals with her mother's paranoia about being a grandmother. At the same time Robin and Patrick are at cross purposes about Patrick's role and/or ability as father.. possible husband. Robin has a pregnancy scare. Patrick deals with his fears when Noah comes onto the scene.
Summer - Leading into Fall

Robin and Patrick open up.
when?
Two weeks.
can you expand on the scrubs one? tia
From what I understand, they come to an understanding after some deliberation.
What kind of understanding? Is it a good thing or a bad thing for them as a couple? TIA
Mostly good, but self-doubt prevails.

I will tell you this, that there really are several actors looking at other options. Some have been at the business longer than others, some are being courted by outsiders, some have other career interests they'd like to pursue, and some find themselves slowly being ousted. Those in charge are preparing for several change-ups within a year, as they have been met with many requests for early "outs." Expect massive storyline changes in the future as a result.

Scene Insider:
I see word has started trickling in that the information I shared with you on Saturday is factual.
The summer preview in SID will confirm the remainder of my drop off plus it'll give you information on the other characters I was going to drop off this weekend.
Thanks to all those who weren't quick to jump on the faker or baiter bandwagon. It was much appreciated.
Enjoy your summer and I'll try again in the fall.

Chat Up:
Hey there.. Still no word on who's gonna be on Shit2?
I was told again recently that Jason and Kimberly are, not sure who else right now but it's definitely not more than one other GH contract
Someone said early today that the writers were told there would massive rewrites given out today-is that true?
I saw that and I'm trying to find out more. It would not surprise me
I was wondering, what has been the response to Scrubs and the pregnancy storyline so far?
the response to both the storyline and Patrick has been mixed. The response to Robin remains consistently positive on the whole
what has been the big complaint with the storyline?
My understanding is the prevailing complaint is that the storyline isn't reflective of Robin's medical status and there is disappointment over Patrick's behavior

NB is not on it
Fact or spec? I think that is why they were holding on to her.
Fact.
Her little story with her mom, if it goes ahead will happen on GH
NS2 Insider, which GHers will be on the show? TIA.
Kimberly
Jason
and one other but it's not NB - I'm waiting for confirmation

Is RS starting to tape in ealry July or starts to air in early July
As I said a few nights ago, I think there's a little misunderstanding about this. Rick's summer story kicks-off in July but I believe he'll be back for a few appearances in June.

Except maybe Rick S.'s return. But there is a lot of comedic stuff surrounding this storyline.
If you're interested in that. Then summer will be pretty good for you.

Patrick becomes frustrated with Robin's feelings about Patrick as both a potencial father and a husband.
Anna's struggle with becoming a grandmother varies in vast degrees . Eli Love's appearance may make all the difference for Anna. While Patrick faces up to his ultimate fear of losing Robin the way Noah lost Patrick's mother.
