Exactly what i said, supporting Robin through her travails with her father and Jagger/Stone, none of which is a story for Patrick. It's giving Patrick something to do while Robin's story unfolds.
I think that there will be weeks when the patient-of-the-week story focuses more on one person. Like Patrick and the French woman. And other weeks where characters are playing a more supporting role. I think after this week, Robin will play a more supporting role in the Jagger/Stone autism story. But that's just my opinion. We'll have to wait and see.
That is what happens. Robin's main story starting next week is Robert. She supposed to still interact with Jagger but Jagger/Stone is more medically dealt with by Saira and Patrick. Also Patrick is dealing with Robert medically as well

I'm not sure if this has been scooped but Patrick and Robin are having a little girl. A lot more focus is going on with Nightshift for Robin/Patrick and I just don't have that information so I'm sorry. I know some funny situations are coming up with Noah/Anna/Eli. I also know that Robin will be preparing for motherhood. I've heard Patrick gets a shock. But I wasn't told much more on this.

any other backstage info?
It is expected that JT and KMc are not taking their outs this fall.
I don't get the SBr thing she did nothing for ratings excpet go down. Plus dammit I wanted to leave this year why can't Kimson take thier out there not valued compared to the mob and Guza's pet SBr included. They aren't getting airtime the mess on NS1, the bungle of this prgnancy why not take the outs.
They both seem happy at the moment.
Any chance they can Jason Cook?
He is staying and may show up on NS2.
regarding Kimson:
Were people wondering about that or something? Thanks.
There was a time when people wondered but it has passed.
In the case of the actors who were on the edge (IR, MB, KMc and JT), was there any attempt to entice them to stay, or was it too early and/or unnecessary?
All but IR were enticed. IR didn't have to be.
Do you happen to know anything about focus groups? How often are they conducted and who are the results released to? Thanks
They aren't conducted on a regular schedule and it really varies and the results are shown to those who need to see them. TPTB, the writers, the PR departments, the actors and in limited release to the soap media.
Do you know what Kmc & JT were enticed with? I hope it was good. Anything on Guza being gone please?
NS3 discussion has already started and Guza is here for at least 18 more months. He signed on for another 2 years after the strike.
about focus groups
Thank You. :D Do you happen to know if they use people who are already watchers or individuals who have never seen the soap before? Thanks so much again.
They do both and they do a mix at times as well.
The focus groups are interesting -- are there any particular actors who watch their focus group results?
Some more than others but they are all interested.
Interesting, thanks for the information. Do you happen to know if JJY is still on contract? I have seen it debated around here and was wondering if he is on recurring.
JJY is still on contract.
Isn't it a little early to be discussing NS3? Or are they talking about moving up the next season by a few months? Also, is Guza up for NS3? :? :? :? (Please say no.)
Guza is not up for NS3 and there is talk of starting a new season after X-mas break.
Insider what is one thing that would surprise us that no one really talks about but is well known behind the scenes? thanks!
That Steve and Sarah and Laura and Sarah do get along pretty well most of the time. Also that most of the cast don't care as much about storyline as the fans do. They are more concerned with airtime.
Do you know anything about KMc have a directing op in her fourth year? It's been discussed here by fans, but I haven't heard/read it from KMc, herself. If she DOES have an option, is it for only a couple of eps, strictly for soaps, etc? Thanks.
She will be doing some directing next year and it will be strictly for GH at this time. There has been talk of letting her direct for NS3 if it goes early but nothing about that is set in stone.
Insider any info on how Kimson feels about the GH and NS?
Fact. KMc and JT are thrilled. Everyone on-set is extremely happy for them and her in particular as she has had a rough time at GH. It is fact that for a few months she was in her dr [dressing room] a lot. NS2 will be a different story completely in attitude for the Robin character. She is respected and loved by many, just not B. G. [Bob Guza] and that is not politcally correct but also fact. And B. G. was never going to have her with SB when she came back and he was very vocal in back offices about that. B. G. also thought that NB would be the death of scrubs and the backlash from NS1 and the later storyline on GH frustrated B. G. He really thought that fans would accept Patrick's move on better. He thinks no couple on GH should be together longer than 6 to 9 months happy and their remaining time together should be the story of their break-up. Again not many will believe but it is true. And my drops here are not like other insiders. I do not like what is happening in back offices and so if fans know too, I feel better, petty maybe but I like knowing that some know what is really happening here. And last drop for the night. JFP and B. G. had a tremendous blowup (not loud) but things were said by both parties that left everyone here tense for a few days. That happened 1st week July. Fact. Believe it.

Tuesday July 29th:
Eli Love performs his song, "What's Virginia's Secret?" and flaunts his young girlfriend in front of Anna.
Robin sets it up so that Anna can showcase her spy skills in front of Eli.
