Robin once again has violence in her life and Patrick isn't the man who comes to her rescue.

11/3
since you are spilling is Lisa a psycho?
Lisa knows Steven Webber and will be key to his introduction to the show, of course he comes to see little sis too but that's not the only reason. Lisa is nice from what has been taped already, she is just a normal girl.
Will he actually be there for liz or will he be caught up with lisa?
Liz is happy to see her brother but she knows something is up. She is right because Steven and Lisa have a weird thing going on.
Will she want Patrick back or will it be Patrick wanting her? thanks
She is very much interested in Patrick and she asks a lot of questions about him. Robin doesnt seem to mind, she actually likes Lisa.
Matt is fascinated by Lisa but he is also in a position to see what is going on between Lisa and Steven Webber. More to come on that front, i dont know more.

Lisa isn't obsessed with anyone. Lisa is a fun loving nice person. But the friendship she strikes up with Robin leaves Patrick feeling awkward. Nothing says "oh boy" like your ex and your wife palling around. Throw in an interested brother, a glaring difference in how Patrick use to be with Lisa (ala Matt) as opposed with Robin, now. You got some issues

POZ Fundraiser for Aids Walk LA

Last nights POZ fundraiser for Aids Walk Los Angeles, at h.wood, was such a fantastic time! It was nice to see so many actors/performers take the time to stop by and greet the fans and support such a worthy cause. For a $25 cover, fans were able to mingle with their favorite stars from: Days of Our Lives, The Bold and the Beautiful, Y&R, One Life to Live and General Hospital/GH: NightShift. Speaking of GH, they had such a great turnout in: Greg Vaughan, Lisa Locicero, Brandon Barash, Lexi Ainsworth, Matt Borlenghi, Adam Grimes, Carrie Southworth and Amanda Baker. All eager to mingle with fans and have a blast! Not only were they busy chatting and taking pictures, but this group of individuals were some of the last to leave the party.

Most people know that Matt Borlenghi is going to be taking on a new role with General Hospital as the newest member of the Cassadine family, but he's already made his mark with us. When he walked into the event the first thing he did was pay the cover!

Greg Vaughan was so humbled by all the recent fan support. He is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his second child with wife Touriya Haoud and says their son, Jathan, can't wait to hold the new baby.

It was also nice to see NightShift alums Adam Grimes, Carrie Southworth and Amanda Baker (also ex-Babe, AMC). Carrie will be walking in this Sunday's Aids Walk and Amanda will be appearing in the returning CBS Comedy, Rules of Engagement in January of 2010.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to lend their support. What a unique opportunity for fans to spend time with their favorite daytime stars. We hope to see many of you at this years Aids Walk Los Angeles this Sunday, October 18th.

You can check out photos from the event at Steven Bergman Photography.

Monday, 4/20 - Elizabeth, Matt and Epiphany worry that Robin and Patrick’s personal problems will get in the way when they’re assigned to perform an emergency surgery and their worst fears are confirmed when the patient falls into distress.
Tuesday, 4/21 – Patrick and Robin work in tandem to save their patient and emerge from the crisis closer than they’ve been in a long time. Back at home, however, Robin and Patrick’s happiness is short lived when Robin can’t bring herself to soothe a fussy Emma.
Wednesday, 4/22 – After bailing on her therapy session, Robin runs into Alexis, who gives her sound advice about trying to juggle a career with being a mother. Already having spoken to Dr. Brown, Patrick is heartsick when Robin lies and says she kept her therapy appointment as planned.
Thursday, 4/23 – Patrick offers to attend a therapy session with Robin and they walk away from it in a slightly better place.
Friday, 4/24 – Robin’s denial about her condition leads to tragedy.
week of 4/27 - M, T, W, Th
Monday, April 27 – A potential tragedy is averted when Patrick rescues Emma before she crashes down the stairs. After learning Robin has stopped taking her anti-depressants, Patrick takes drastic measures to get her the help she needs.
Tuesday, April 28 – Patrick, along with Maxie, Mac, Kelly, Elizabeth, Matt and Dr. Brown, stage an intervention with Robin. Robin viciously takes her anger out on Maxie but is later forced to accept the fact that she needs help. At Kelly’s urging, Robin agrees to leave to get in patient treatment.

are Scrubs on good terms when Robin leaves for treatment?
Yes. Patrick supports her decision.

Will Scrubs get any love scenes or romance soon or later? Thanks
I don't know. They do have a difficult summer in front of them but its difficult because of things going on round them. Scrubs and Emma are a solid family unit. But I don't know if they get a love scene or not.
----
Emma has a open ended agreement with the show. She'll be in and out this summer.
Its my understanding that Tony agreed to less vacation time this year but I don't know how much less.
Its not official but all protests to the contrary, I think its a safe bet that Tristan will be returning, for at least a limited run, when Tony comes back.
Don't know anything about Luke/Tracey.

Wednesday April 22:
Robin gets advice from Alexis about how to manage a career with motherhood.
Patrick is stunned to learn that Robin bailed on her therapy session.

There was never any plan to break up Scrubs. The decision to reunite LL2 was made last winter, but stalled for reasons relating to the lack of an uncast Dante that sidelined several thinks that were planned. Ethan's story was beefed up and altered to take up slack for the winter. Added in was the young crowd being repositioned for the Summer stories. They still don't have any real direction. None of them. With no story for GV/BH, they were inserted into Rebecca's and Scrub's story. Expect tough time for Scrubs through the Spring, minus Liz who will be reconnecting with Lucky.

Do you know any pre-wake up info on Mikey like who is involved in his recovery?
Patrick and the lady doctor are both involved. They disagree about treatment. Sonny trusts the doctor, Carly trusts Patrick, and Drew is working 18 days before he ever wakes up which means a lot si going on in his room.

Good morning BuB... I Cant stick around to answer any ?... sorry!!!
I dont fell good... sigh*... I told you nice BuB`ers yeterday Liz was`nt going to
be around much longer...And she was not going to be bonding with Emma..
That Matt was going to be with Patrick...so trust me when i say Scrubs are fine
enjoy the ride..and have fun in May...

So Scrubs get over PPD tought times to just jump right in to more tough times?
Not really. They, along with Emma are going to be a solid family unit. But there will be problems at the hospital, Ethan is going to be insinuated into their story and he's going to be in a heapin' bit of trouble this summer. So they have problems ahead. But its problems they face together rather than problesm that pull them apart so they are ok.

The good bye scenes for Scrubs when she leaves for help to heal = Loads of tissues.
2 men and a baby=Loads of laughter.

Head writer Sri Rao sets the record straight by telling the Suds Report, “I’m not joining GH, and no one has contacted me about penning Night Shift 3. And if there are plans for a NS3, it’s news to me.” Moreover, Rao wants to clarify he didn’t pen this week’s Scrubs wedding. “I had nothing to do with it,” he answers. Translation: the nuptials will suck you-know-what.
• If you’re like everyone else on the planet and fell in love with Rao creations Claire, Eric, Patricia, and Kyle, you Sri out of luck. According to the show’s publicist, “there are no immediate plans to bring any of the characters back to GH,” reports Soap Opera Weekly.

They share scenes every day. He is concerned about her. When he goes to visit Robin he brings up how Sam had the same thing to Patrick.

they talk about sam's baby?
Not Jasam. Jason to Patrick.
Why would he talk about a dead baby to a man whose baby might have medical issues?
He isn't. He's talking to Patrick about how Sam had the same condition Robin did and clearly Sam lived. Maybe in his own way he's trying to give Patrick some words of comfort?

THE SOAPBOX

by Mala Bhattacharjee

Soap fans are increasingly unhappy with their favorite shows. Fractured storylines, high character turnover rates and a a lack of family drama and romance have people flipping away, deleting shows from their TiVos and just plain giving up on the genre. It seems like daytime is in need of rejuvenation -- or at least a refresher course in Soap 101.

Fear not, such a thing actually exists: General Hospital: Night Shift, which just wrapped its second season on Oct. 21. In just 14 episodes, NS head writer Sri Rao brought soaps back to the basics. Here are five examples of how.

1. Key into a core family.
NS has this in the Scorpio/Drake clan. Chief of staff Patrick and harried researcher Robin are the show's foundation, and vital bricks and mortar came from Robin's father, Robert, and his medical issues, as well as Robin's old friend, Jagger and his autistic son. No matter what else happenend on Night Shift, you knew everything came back to Robin, Patrick and their loved ones.

2. Have plenty of love in the afternoon.
Again, Robin and Patrick's love story is a featured aspect of the show; even when they fought, it was clear they're the "It Couple". Viewers were also gifted with new couples in Saira and Leo, Epiphany and Toussaint, and Kyle and Eric -- and reintroduced to old ones, like Robert and Anna. Kisses, hot love scenes, basic cuddling and comfort were all there, in just the right doses.

3. Stick to character-driven conflicts. No flash necessary.
The biggest drama on NS didn't come from its warring skinheads or explosive finale; it came from a health crisis and an infidelity story, respectatively. Robert's colon cancer and Leo and Claire's one-nighter spiraled out and gave material to everyone around them, and were both rooted in deep emotion. There was no need to embellish with bells and whistles. All the show had to do was pull from its characters' histories and relationships.

4. Reflect your audience.
NS boasts a cast of diverse men and women, mirroring a society populated by the same. Characters run the gamut from young to old, gay to straigh, white to black to brown. And there is no distinction made; just good, simple storytelling that is fair and balanced for everyone. Leo's Iranian heritage and Kyle's sexual orientation are a part of them but not the sum total of who they are. They're people, just like those who watch the show.

No matter how many dumb choices the staff at GH made while working on the night shift (engaging in kidney auctions, falling for patients, cheating), there was never a question of how much the-powers-that-be enjoyed crafting every single one of them.

Every show on the day shift should have their moment to shine. Maybe then the stars will be back in viewers' eyes.
