Honestly, I'm not really an insider. I occasionally get information from someone who works on the set. And since I'm a fan of Scrubs, that's all I generally ask about.

What is the feel from your friend on the set Scrubs or Patrick and Leyla?
I seem to hear the same thing the poster MM hears. Scrubs is still the plan and they're going to start easing back into them during sweeps and into December. Is that basically what your source told you MM?
As for Patrick and Leyla, she kind of laughs a bit when I tell her how people are freaking out over it. Mainly because it's not and hasn't ever been what the plan was.
Pretty much.
MM (source)

RE: DYing for love
2. Patrick puts Robin in his place and stays on the island with the killer. (source)

MM PLEASE tell us about scrubs? I'd rather just know.
She said that Patrick does get mad at Robin & there are some "mushy" moments with him & Leyla at the ball at first but that it won't last long. She was going to get more details as to what the scarifice was. But basically if you can get past the first week it is a turning point.
MM (source)

Stepped out for a bit. The person who quit is behind the scenes.
~Set Source.
thank you
You're welcome.
Change is coming that's for sure.
~Set Source.
Do you think it would affect the Liason storyline?
I think it will affect EVERY storyline.
~Set Source (source)

MM, does your source still say a reunion in December is still in the cards for Scrubs?
Yes.
MM (source)

Thanks. I want scrubs together, but do you know if they are going to just put them back together? I hope they deal with their issues. As long as the third party is out, I can handle them being apart and working their way back to each other. I think that would be half the fun. Very Happy
She said "slowly" I think that is why it s hard to say a date. So I don't think they will be slapped back together.
MM (source)

Is FSA around?
YES, I AM HERE!
To my question, then, my friend. Crossover from NS to GH this week? Thoughts? Take care.
My Thoughts are that NS was NO more than a freak out dream on Robin's part, well at least her part of NS (and Leyla and Patrick's too)... Id say that this crossover is a manifestation of Robin dying from HIV before her baby is born. Robin is already pregnant, isn't she, my friend???
FSA,Still the dream theory! Now, dreams can also be premonitions. Correct?
Thus, my laughter during the last eppy of NS. Brookie promised to pass a message along to you earlier. Take care.
So, Robin sees herself on the gurney and ends up on THE gurney? My friend, is Robin ALREADY pregnant!?! Can you give me a hint if you CANNOT answer yes! Very Happy
THANK YOU!
FSA,
Robin will see herself again, if not edited recently. There continue to be changes to dialogue and edits.
The later is still on the table. Sorry, no hints. There is a lot to the storyline with recent developments.
Glad we had a chance to chat as promised.
The hours are long. Take care.(source)

5 people will walk away from sweeps with a new secret:
Robin
Logan
Carly
Lulu
Johnny (source)

Hey all you ratings spinners? The online fanbase is miniscule compared to what the offline fanbase is. You nitpick and complain about every little thing. The fact of the matter is, the couples that you will be seeing in the coming months whether you like them or not will be Scrubs, Liason and Lusam. Skate/Carjax will become a Quad. So continue to spin away while I sit back and laugh.
Thank you. That is exactly what I want to see on this show. When will we start seeing it???
Over the next couple of months, starting with sweeps. I am out night. (sourc)

MM it is basically what you see in the previews. Spinelli asks Jason to fill in instead of him. Before Jason can answer robin cuts in and says no. She tells him she understands why he can't do it. She would never ask him because of who he is and the life he leads. She tells him it would be ridiculous. He tells her that its not that ridiculous. He explains that if the circumstances were different and their life goals were different he would consider it but he can't do that. He tells her to re-think her methods of finding a father. He tells her not to give up and that she'll make an excellent mother one day. They hug, Patrick sees and Jason leaves. (source)

Hey Set Source,
You posted about the serious meeting that was taking place yesterday. Is this "news" today related to that? And was the meeting yesterday related to the ratings that came out today?
Yes and Yes.
Ratings are a concern.
~Set Source
Trouble on set today. Someone is resigning. Not re-signing. resigning as in quitting. Can't say who.
~SetSource(source)

Thanks. Can you tell us what the Patrick/Robin scene after that is like?
Its bittersweet. He tells her that he was jealous of seeing her and Jason together and he's been running around trying to get in her business and that he sees that he's being unfair. He tells her dejectedly that he wants her to be happy and he'll give her what she wants and he tells her that he'll leave her alone and she can chose a father or to be a mother anyway she pleases. They part and robin is upset. (source)

There is a reason why you're not getting scoops for very far in the future. People are being gagged. Leaks are trying to be found. Everyone is being very careful with what they spill so as not to get themselves or their sources in trouble.
My only advice is to turn off the show if it's too much, and take things one week - better yet, one day - at a time. Yes, scoops for the week of the 29th suck. Nobody denies that. But I'd suggest waiting each week for scoops for the next week before flipping out and deciding in your mind where the story is going. See it out as a whole. By "see" I mean read the scoops for each week if you're not going to watch. But don't start acting as if you know where things are going, because I think I can safely say that nobody really does. (source)

Hey, chat up! I was so sad to see the ratings today. When they come out like this is it a big deal behind the scene buzz wise?
Someone was here earlier and said that someone behind the scenes was resigning. Have you heard anything?
There was some buzz about the ratings but do keep in mind that they are looked at over a longer term than just a week. There are trends established so patterns etc can be identified. No one is pleased with the ratings but I haven't heard anything about anyone resigning. (source)

Chat up-
You haven't heard about either Guza or Phelps leaving, but mention it could be under wraps. Even still, have there been any whispers of replacements or even a co-hw being brought in?
Not Chat-up but I can answer this. I really think they are going to ride out sweeps before a final decision is made. Certainly if demos stay this low, actually if they are much below 1.8, then some changes are going to be made. What I've heard as the most likely scenario is that Guza will get a new co-headwriter to help with GH while he works on NSII and after he leaves to work on NSII he probably won't be back at GH. That's what people in the know have been saying for several weeks now. (source)

Chat Up, if the ratings for sweeps don't go up, do you think that there will be some shake-ups in terms of couples and storylines?
Not immediately. If the ratings/demos don't improve there will be behind the scenes changes first. (source)

Chat up Anon,
Any rumors of SCRUBS not getting back together? I am one of some Robin fans really wanting a new pairing/story/anything without Patrick in it. TIA
Everything I have heard and the last information I had was that they remain the story and they will be reuniting. (source)

Hi Chat-Up,
Thanks for answering the inquiries. Any hope of Leyla getting out of Scrubs story soon?
Thanks again.
I've been told by the end of the year at the latest (source)


I've posted before that I don't agree that one couple is responsible for the make or break of the show. I just don't. So how can I interpret the ratings in the same way as you do? I agree that there has been a long term storyline going on that has involved many stages and which may bring Jason and Liz together (I hope). I agree that the story for Jason/Liz/Sam/Lucky has been their main story. It hasn't been the whole canvas's main story although it has affected other characters.
Does this story affect the ratings? I'm sure it does. Do the other stories currently on the table affect the ratings, yes they do. But IMO none of the stories alone are responsible for decrease in ratings. I think it poor planning, storywriting, and poor continuity have more to do with ratings than one couple does.
That is very much how it works. Decline in ratings are almost never placed at the feet of one couple or one actor - there are so many other elements that are factored in. This isn't like prime time where there is one lead actor and a supporting cast.
Storylines affect ratings, which is why many are tweaked as they go along but those who make the decisions take much more into account than just a couple.
(chat up anon)
and for those who said I haven't spoiled any stories, you're right - I've never claimed to have breakdowns or scene information. I don't work on that side of the business. (source)

SD !
i am not an insider by any stretch of the means, but i got the invite tonight to the ABC soaps casino night. I don't have much to tell (more AMC and OLTL things) but i did talk to Frons.
Basically the night was all about advertisers. So everything was about advertisers and media outlets buying with ABC - so everyone was approachable and on limits.
So being a scrubs fan, i got in Frons' relm - made some small talk and then just basically laid it on the line: "What are you doing with the best couple I've seen since Sonny and Brenda?"
he laughed, and said "trust us, we know"
made me feel good. Scrubs fans - they know the story. (source)

Sweeps is going to have a huge twist and one spoiler in the past few pages has nailed it.
Have a good one (source)

STOP ! Seriously, I am a huge Scrubs fan, and honestly Frons was not mocking us - he was literally being self-deprecating. I promise. I left the conversation with a huge confidence that they understood that the storyline isn't going well.
no, he didn't say anything about the future of scrubs, but he indicated that the couple is a big thing- and he knew what people wanted?
does this make sense? I can't put words in his mouth that he didn't say - but I promise all you Scrubs fans out there that he totally understood and at least led me to believe that they are going to stick with Scrubs (source)

Robin's bottled up pain finally explodes and she suffers deep depression with continued visions of Stone
hese are for after sweeps into December
Good night SD
Different/follow-up Anon
I don't know if those are legit but the Robin, Liason and Carly one is true
The Robin one is true. Her flashes aren't for nothing. It will lead to her depression after sweeps.
So all of the other insiders we've had made no mention of this depression thing. That's odd.
Her flashes tie into it. They will continue to intensify end of sweeps
Will anyone realize that she is depressed? How will she act?
Lainey notices it first. think of Brenda's depression Wink
What's going on with her and Patrick for the rest of November and into December? Thanks.
They are mostly in doctor mode. The big sacrifice isn't much. Btw Leyla and robin he saves Robin from a bullet first. They are not back together by the end of November but they've made some headway although its not much
Will Patrick still be dating Leyla?
she's still a factor. He is still "with" her
Insider, is there a Scrubs dance during sweeps? If so, could you give details? TIA.
There was one filmed. Whether or not it makes it to air remains to be seen.
Insider is patrick aware that Robin is depressed and how does Robina act?
How in the world are the going to put Robin and Patrick together again if he has a new girlfriend and Robin is depressed?
What is Jax doing?
This is the last one i'm answering anything after this is not mine.
He is aware and he'll be helping, doesn't mean robin wants him to, exactly the opposite. I just answered the jax one. (source)

Maxie attacks Leyla and rips off her pearl necklace from her neck
What week? All next week?
yes (source)

Robin and Patrick both are able to get on the boat to go but Patrick gives up his spot to Leyla so she doesn't have to wait for the next trip. (source)

Is that "what Patrick does for love" referring to him giving up his seat to Leyla?
Yes.
I think it just means Patrick is noble. Patrick would allow any of the ladies to go before him.
No, it doesn't. This is what Patrick does for love. He sacrifices himself and his chance for a career so Leyla gets out. (source)

Patrick gives up his spot to Leyla because Robin refuses to leave the island. (source)

She has a spot on the boat though, why would she refuse to leave?
Robin chooses to stay to help Nikolas. Patrick refuses to leave without her. (source)

Robin chooses to stay to help Nikolas. Patrick refuses to leave without her.
I can confirm this Wink (source)

Srub fans,
The sky is not falling, they are not over. It may sting the first week of sweeps but the story is suppose to take a turn in your favor the second week.
MM (source)

MM and others,
The break up for your couple, Patrick and Robin, was never intended to be brief. Second, the character of Leyla was not intended to be a brief encounter for a variety of reasons. Third, the bonding will be evident later in sweeps. The reunion will not be swift by some standards, but there will be a reunion.
Go quietly into the day. Take care. Fingers and toes crossed that this posts. Take care. O. Henry (source)

The breakdowns specifically say Robin and Patrick have seats on the boat. Patrick gives up his seat for Leyla.
The script says they have seats.Robin won't leave Nikolas.Patrick won't leave Robin.He gives up his seat to Leyla.
The insiders this morning are clearly going off the breakdowns and winging the rest. There is a lot of that going on in the IL. On all storylines.
That is all I will say. (source)
