Scrubs are solid. The upcoming PPD story will only strengthen their relationship. Leyla is dead.
Airdate for Leyla dead? Thanks
I don't do airdates, but she's still dead.

We will find out Tuesday that Robin just got cleared for sex from Kelly this week.
Spec or fact?
Fact which is why it is such a big deal Robin says no.
Since the show is making the sex a big deal-is patrick or robin tempted to have it w/someone else? OR will show make a big deal when finally have sex as man and wife? Thanks.
Scrubs from all the information I have are good through her PPD. I don't know anything after that. Patrick leans on Matt not some woman. I have no idea if they get a love scene after that as again I have no information after that. The gist of the PPD arc is Patrick is fantastically supportive even though he has a lot to deal with at the hospital. Scrubs really seem to be golden.
My own take from the information I have is that Guza botches the PPD part of it because from what I have the story seems to be very focused on how Patrick is handling this. I doubt that is a surprise to anyone though given Guza's almost obsessive need to highlight the men on this show.
Which is my problem with this arc. The woman gets nothing. No sympathy, no emotionally charged dialog. If he wants a story for Patrick, make it a male issue.
Let me be clear. That is just my take based on the information I have. It is in no way is a spoiler. Just my opinion of the spoilers I have.

KMc has some great material.
Is Leyla found dead after a fight with Robin?
Yes

The Money Anon
Actually, they aren't worried about the ratings or he rankings. They are worried about the bottom line which translates into $$
I shared a portion of this earlier but let me try again.
Look at primetime.
In 2005, Desperate Housewives was bringing in $560,000 per 30 second time slot.
This year they are bringing in $316,000 per 30 second time slot.
In a year's time that translates into a quarter of a billion dollars a year loss in revenue for Disney.
Now look at GH.
In 2005, GH was bringing in about $9000 per 30 second time slot
Now they are bringing in $7000 but they in 2005 we were getting 40 minutes of programmnig and in 2009 we're getting 37-38 minutes of programming which equals out to less than a ten million dollars a year in loss of revenue. Then consider how many vets(with higher salaries) have been cut, how many newbies(with lower salaries) have been hired. added to the fact that there are lower production values, no location shots, etc. and there's a very good possibility that by the time accounting has reached a true bottom line, GH is even, or maybe even a little ahead of its 2005 dollars.
And utimately THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!

Well March sweeps should be interesting as far as ratings go. Frons put his foot down and believes he's gone back to a formula that will fix this show. I guess we'll see.
How did Frons out his foot down? thanks
JaSam; L&L2; Scrubs; CarJax - those are his babies.

Writing work is in short supply and there are former senior writers and head writers who are willing to work for scale as breakdown or script writers. For the producers, this seems like a steal - you get a seasoned writer at a bargain basement price. It's pushing young writers out of the industry.

Just an FYI:
But there's a guy in Iger's office. I think his name is Louis. He goes through Iger's mail and logs it. The stuff about daytime is then re-directed to Frons; the stuff about primetime is re-directed to McPherson; etc. Iger doesn't see it. Same thing happens in Sweeney's office although its Susan that logs that mail. It will be on a list that Iger/Sweeney see. In a given day there might be two or three hundred letters received and they are all logged. So when Iger looks over the list he'll see a notation that that he received 1, 2, 750, etc. letters about daytime. It won't specify what the letters are about but if there's an excessive amount he might ask Lewis what the problem is and if Lewis said like "Well, people are complaining because an 8 year old killed murdered his dad" then Iger, or Sweeney might check into it. I don't really see them getting too bent if they were told that it had to do with fans being upset because a couple didn't get together. But, if you don't mind buying the postage I guess its worth a try.
