Can you drop something Patrick/Robin related before you go?
Another thing Scrub fans, I don't know why you guys are down. Scrubs are going to be so good. There are things coming their way that just play into their love for each other. Some issues are just stepping stones to get them where they need to be. Neither one is going to come off looking petty or crude. You will see the reason why. Patrick will be out of his mind with fear. Robin and the baby are his everything. They are being written for and the story has drama, love and misunderstandings. All the soapy good stuff. So enjoy.
Chat Up:
Do you know if anyone at Prospect has admitted or Corporate has determined that Guza's big adolescent shooting story did not translate the way he expected?
The negative press over it did not go unnoticed by the mouse house and Guza's mitigation strategy (EW interviews) did nothing to counter the tide.
Is there any concern that if OLTL and possibly AMC continue to improve in quality and ratings that GH may soon be the lowest rated ABC soap? I never thought I'd see the day where OLTL was tied with GH.
I'm away this week so I don't have access to the most recent info but I will say that there a few people muttering and swearing over OLTL's "surge"

Will one man come to terms about his fears of losing those he loves? Patrick

5/31
Robin and Patrick fight and have misunderstandings and bicker but in the end they do get married and agree to raise thier baby together.
"Jake" (source of the above)

Some of the Scrubs stuff was rewritten to work in a big story for Finola since ABC more or less promised her one when they threw their fit about Young and the Restless.
There may be some changes made because of last week's ratings, but the stories I mentioned above all stand to be impacted by the return of Vanessa which they are diligently working on so they aren't likely to change any plans for any of these couples until they find out if she's going to come back. Obviously, if she does, there'll be a major overhaul on the stories affecting these characters. (source)

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)

[STONE] 5 year old boy. This will be a very complex and substantial role. Willing to see small 6-8 year olds if they can convincingly look 5. Strongly prefer dark hair color...
[JAKE] 35ish, an FBI specialist. Has a brooding, intense presence and sexuality. He is a single dad balancing his career and raising his son. Prefer dark hair coloring...SERIES REGULAR (source)

Farah has been cast. Leyla will be dealing with her Mom ''It's different than anything else I know of in daytime right now. Yes, it will weave in Pat and Robin in part, but don't thik you know where it's going to go because of the past history. Patrick is now in love with Robin and Leyla has made peace with that. There will be other things for her to deal with '' week of June 9 Farah shows up

Wedding Bells for Robin ? Patrick ? (scan)
Patrick will seek out legal means to allow himself access to his child ''It's quite a funny run'' says Guza of the plot thread that will air in July ''That will be a major story with comedic results that will fold in Alexis and Diane. They'LL also consider living together and down the line the question of marriage will come up. ''It's the right thing to do, right?''

SID says buzz is Scrubs marry sometime befor labour day. ''The HIV issue is not going to come into serious play until the actual birth'' ''We'll deal with the notion of natural versus C-Section. We found that, actually, Robin can have the baby naturally But the actual delivery is when the most danger occurs, because then there is blood on blood contact'' (source via mishymashy)

Muffin please help us scrubbie out with anything good on NS2 are they solid before and during NS2 thanks so much
Yes, Scrubs will have their own story from everyone else, but they will also interact with the new staff. Lot's of casting. Patrick will have trouble with Robin working nightshift. It's not going to be easy for her to get to work at nightshift, but since she is stubborn she ends up working.
*Real Muffin*
Leyla' story is not something that lasts long. I don't even think it is necessar, but look for her mom to be heating on every man she comes across. I've also been told that JC may either be a drake, a webber, a cassadine, or even somebody not related to anybody on the canvas.
*Real Muffin*
does she hit on Patrick?
No, she hates Patrick more than anything
*Real Muffin*
What will she know about Patrick?
Leyla will tell her, how he used her. She will also talk about taking the bullet for him. This story is stupid, because it doesn't accomplish anything and Leyla doesn't leave.
*Real Muffin*

June 13th Robin collapses and Patrick FREAKS to overload.
They'll need to calm him down he'll freak that much.
its due to her HIV (source of the above)

Not the other insider, but NS2 is going to be very different from NS1. I've also been told that some of GH's cast will be making appearences from here and there.
Thank you. Do you have anything else you can share? General outline of NS2? How different?
A solid couple dealing with the fall out of the pregnancy. They want to do something different this time. For me myself I think it's better with a new cast. I've also been told that they maybe another couple that works at the hospital too that scrubs become friends with, but I can't confirm because I don't know if it's true yet. (source)

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: 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.

5/26 Heard in the Waiting Room

"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.
*Muffin*
thanks Muffin!
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.
*Muffin*
Is it bad?
No

As a Liason and a Scrubs fan you should expect good, sweet, wonderful, and heartbreaking moments between your couples.
*Muffin*
any details for tuesdays scenes? tia
Scrubs do share another kiss
*Muffin*
can you give some details?
Liz and Jason will both work together to protect Jake, and Scrubs have a health scare. That is all I can give.
*Muffin*
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
*Muffin*
Scrubs have their own s/l for summer, which invloves a health scare.
*Muffin*
Muffin before you leave please tell me if Scrubs have an engagement coming up. Please
Yes, I'm out

Robin's baby kicks for the first time.

Have they figured out how excruciatingly painful it is to watch Johnny and Lulu yet?
they continue to increase in fanmail. and there has been a noticable pick up in their mail over the past month. just as there has been for Patrick/Robin
Welcome back! How are Scrubs doing?
As i mentioned, Scrubs have really picked up in the last month. the response has been better than a long time for them. i am going to sign my posters mail room from now just so you can see its me answering
-mailroom
Patrick
Robin
Response to pregnancy story
Thanks

Response has been good. Kim gets more mail than Jason, Robin fans always been vocal.
-mailroom
Will that result in a real story or airtime for Scrubs? TY
i don't know. but the response for the pregnancy story has increased scrubs mail a lot, and they were already high
-mailroom
Who has highest mail count overall?
What actress has most?
What actor has most?

Highest mail count for couples: i would say Patrick/Robin, Elizabeth/Jason lately
Actress: Laura Wright, hers has increased a lot too
Actor: Steve Burton and Maurice
-mailroom
can you just do a quick run done of the couples/actors for us in terms of mail count. thank you!
Top Actresses:
LW
BH, KMc, KeMo (vary in order week by week)
Top Actors:
MB, SBu
BA
As an Alexis fan, I'm not surprised
im sorry, NLG is always in the top five. and actually, Jerry/Alexis have gotten a very good response. actually LW,BH, NLG, KeMo, KMc have consistantly for the past year made up the top 5, the orders do change though
-mailroom
Do they actually read the letters or have someone else do it and just give them a summary of what most of them say? I always wondered if they are actually read
-the letters go to the actors, it takes a week to sort out the mail so they don't get it immediatley when it is recieved. whether the actors read it, i dont know, but it does go to them if it is addressed to the actor. a lot of times couple letters are for the writers or Guza/Frons/Phelps in that case they dont go to the actors
-mailroom
Ya that make sense. The mailroom insider says she's still up there but it definitely makes sense she would have fallen out of the top three because she hasn't really had a story in over a year.
yes, i apologize, i left NLG out on accident. She continues to be in the top 5, but LW,BH,KMc have recieved more mail than her recently i would say.
-mailroom
mailroom: where does mw rank in terms of mail and where does skate rank in terms of mail? gracias!!
like i said she has increased but still not close to LW, KMc, BH, KeMo, NLG.
I would say Sonny/Kate comes in after Jason/Liz and Patrick/Robin (these two have sat at the top spot for the past year)
-mailroom
Okay, I have to go I will leave me with a quick recap and summary of the past month and a half:
Top Couples:
Jason/Liz, Patrick/Robin
Past couples who still get high mail:
Sonny/Carly, Jason/Sam
Top Actress:
Laura Wright
Top Actor:
Steve Burton and Maurice Bernard
Couples whose mail has increased in past month and a half:
Jason/Liz, Patrick/Robin, Jerry/Alexis, Johnny/Lulu, Sonny/Carly
Couples who have held steady:
Carly/Jax, Sonny/Kate (still third in receiving couples mail), Spinelli/Maxie
Couples who have dipped in fanmail:
Lucky/Sam
Couples poorly recieved:
Jason/Claudia
And to all the people that asked about the Scrubs pregnancy story: Fan are happy, mail has definitely increased, but i can also say that in that mail there are complaints about how the pregnancy line is being carried out.
that is all and i hope you all have a great night. i will be back in a couple weeks because i myself am curious about the response to Nik/Claudia.

OK, so I lurk here often and felt the need to address a certain rumor. While I am not confirming nor denying specifics of this rumor I am simply adding some insider info. You may have noticed a trend happening on ABCDaytime recently. All My Children and One Life to Live have garnered critic acclaim with their story lines surrounding the return of some fan favorite actors and characters. Mr Frons is very happy with the positive press and hopes for the same with General Hospital's upcoming arc. I do know there is a death only because I know there will be a funeral. I don't know who dies, however, I do know that many actors have been contacted to return for a beloved character's funeral. Mr Frons does not want to go ahead with this arc until he has confirmation from two certain actors, so right now it is on a temporary hold. OK, I've probably said enough to get my butt in trouble, but I wanted you all to know what I know about the situation.

Do you have anything on Scrubs?

More bonding, more kissing, more baby talk and a baby kick to Daddy's voice. Patrick's views on fatherhood are changing by the day.

Do you have anything on Scrubs?
Sorry, no info on scrubs. I'm waiting for them to get engaged too (source of the above)

Have to go, but just to clarify:
I didn't post anything about Scrubs. I am waiting for the engagement like everyone else.
~It's What I Know~

Robin and Patrick are brought to tears when they feel their baby kick for the first time.

let's just say Guza may be on his last leg as well as JFP. The ratings have been a rollercoaster ride the past couple of months. .1+ on week .1- the next.
don't be surprised if we see a couple walk this year and another the next as it seems like their interest in gh has fizzled in the past couple of weeks due to stalled story lines.
as to the vet dying...if i tell i'm pretty sure u won't believe.
Done.Deal.
I will believe!
No one is out of the realm of possibility. Bobbie? Edward? Monica? Audrey? Mac? Monica? Tracy? Luke?
There are no suprises when it comes to deaths on GH. PLEASE SPILL!

let's say it's no coincidence that someone recently retired was seen on set.
------
the last on heard of the scrubbies is that they're gonna continue their same song and dance. there should be some progress made this summer (i.e. engagement possibly marriage?) but it depends on how other story arcs are accepted. if some receive the response that are desired, expect to see some progress finally being made for them. i'm crossing my fingers and i hope everyone else is that their should at least be a proposal being made next month (last time i checked). but don't take my word on it because as far as i know...the month of june is still gonna be called Claudia Hospital.
are you still here? Can you tell us it's true that Kristen is leaving?
last i heard kristen is safe. gh is betting on jc and her recapturing their magic and making it work and hopefully getting the reaction and fanbase they received on dool. she's a fan favorite and i would hope that by now gh has learned their lesson in getting rid of fan faves. the last thing they need is to lose more viewers. and with the impending death of a vet looming in the future i doubt they would want to fall any lower on the food chain. i.e. alan and emily anyone?
----
i see everyone here is twisting my words. since ga is on commercial break, let me just leave u with this brainbuster: simply because i said someone retired was seen on set does not mean that this person is the one dying. could they possibly be attending another vet's funeral? mmm...now the plot thickens.
Done.Deal. (source of the above)

There is a scrubs kiss tomorrow. I'll be back with other scoops. Off to watch grey's anatomy.

Heads up scrubs fans. Week of 6/2 Leyla and Patrick share a lot of scenes together and Robin is no where to be found.

GREAT we get a baby kick for scrubs before he starts hookin it up with layme!!
That drop was false. Naz hasn't taped recently.

Patrick's guilt gets the better of him and he agrees to pretend to be with Leyla when her mother shows up in PC.

Or maybe it's not true
Week of June 2nd. Salma shows up to visit her daughter and her boyfriend. It's set to play through June and play into Noah showing back up onscreen to discover Robin pregnant and Patrick "with" Leyla.

Have you heard anything about the Patrick/Leyla scoops in the IL? TIA

NO [Mandy] (source of the above)

Peyla is not getting back together or even pretending to be together
Not pretending?
Yeah, that is what leyla wants them to do.
she asks him?
Yes
and what doe he say?
Patrick puts the break on her and tells her he loves Robin. Robin will also have her say.

I might as well set the record straight since this has taken a life of its own. I am the one who posted the tons of scenes between Pat and Leyla for the week of 6/2 and I made it up. I never thought there would be elaborate storylines built around my fib.
Sorry.

Brenda is not coming back with Jax and that is not where he goes the second time he is gone.
Anna/Robin/Patrick/Noah/Eli/Maxie/Spinelli/Sam/Lucky/Sonny/Kate/Diane/Alexis/Max/Jerry - these characters will have a summer of wacky hijinks. Not together of course, but that is there stories. (source of the above)

When did this Vegas trip occur with JT?
Pa'u Zhaan
Apparently this past weekend.
Was he wearing his sling when he was partying?
Pa'u Zhaan
No clue. Someone just posted a link to some online gossip column in Vegas that said JT, KS and FF were partying at Tao this past weekend. No pics.
JT had his surgery on May 9th and returned to work on May 14th. He was and still isn't in any condition to party. He won't be for the next 4 weeks.
Pa'u Zhaan
Not when the studio is dark on Friday and there is no taping on Saturday and Sunday. Monday and Tuesday were the only days missed.
You are correct all those days do add up to 5.
Pa'u Zhaan
How do u know that?
Let's put it this way. It would be hard to do my job and not know it.
Pa'u Zhaan
So are Scrubs going to be MIA again in June because of his time off again.
The man has taken more fucking time off lately...

No I said he returned to work on May 14th. The sling will appear on-screen the first week of June.
Pa'u Zhaan
It hinders his mobility. He's going to be in his sling for 4 more weeks. He needs it 6 weeks total.
Pa'u Zhaan
So when he does his June 8 appearances he should still be in a sling?
That's correct
Pa'u Zhaan
Do you happen to know why JT had to have an emergency re-cast for 4 days if it wasn't for his surgery?
That's when he suffered his injury.
Pa'u Zhaan
Ouch.
Did he end up going to Hong Kong then? That would suck having to travel in one of those uncomfortable airline seats with a shoulder injury.

He wasn't traveling at the time of his injury and before you ask I don't know how he was injured. He didn't divulge the source of his injury to anyone who is willing to discuss it.
Pa'u Zhaan
Thanks for what you are giving us!
Can I ask if JT's injury will be written into Patrick's story or are we just supposed to 'ignore' it?

The injury will happen off-screen but it will be discussed on the show.
Good Night

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

Daytime Dish:
5/20
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.
Summer Insider aka SI
AIG:none at the time of this post
EMI: none at the time of this post
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.
Robin and Patrick share an intimate moment as parents (source of the above)
