Scrubs wedding brings out vets-- alive and dead.

With the ratings for all soap operas declining, TPTB at GH are worried that they will end up in a situation like DOOL, where their future is unclear from one year to another.
One of the main things that fans are being vocal about is the show being too dark. However, TPTB know that there is a large audience that does tune in for the dark mob stories. Therefore, in the coming months (actually this ‘plan’ started in early September) there will be a balance between the mob and lighter stories. Nikadine, Scrubs, Lusam and Spixie are going to provide the ‘lighter’ romance/hijinks that TPTB feel the audience really enjoys.

Robin and Liz fans?
Robin has some very kind words for Liz while Jake is missing.

Scrubs aren't on much the rest of this month and when they are it is family scenes with Emma and adjusting to being parents. In December, they start to plan their big wedding.

Robert will attend the wedding and walk Robin down the aisle. Then he will go back to Swizterland with Anna. There won't be much for either at the wedding. It's unknown whether Guza will be bringing either back, probably not anytime soon. But who knows after that.

Also, kinda getting frustrated w/ the lack of anything on GH. SSDD is grating on my last nerve!
The ratings indicate that many are feeling the same.

According to sources, there is an ongoing debate about the level of violence. A variety of scenes were recently shot which have been edited from the final product due to the level of violence as well as tenor given to each storyline. For example, Jerry was much more cruel to Sam in scenes than the product that aired on your screens. In addition, scenes for the next arc (mob war) are being edited and revised prior to final production.
Drops of water cause many ripples, seen and unseen.

Sorry I was going to correct that. Patrick is doing good while Robin finds trouble in the early stages of motherhood. Expect some giggles.
