Chat Up:
Hey Chat Up? Hope you are well. TTYL did indeed tell us about two actors on last rites. You mentioned one. Have you also heard that the other one mentioned by TTYL is also on her last chance?
I have heard that as well. If you'll remember, back in November I did mention that there were issues there and there were some who wanted her let go at the end of her cycle
Chat up, what do you mean by end of cycle? Is that the end of the 13 weeks?
Also, in regards to both characters I am no lawyer so I was wondering is it possible to recast and if they do does that mean they have to buy out the other two's contracts ? Just wondering how it works. thanks.
contracts for newbies are on 13 week cycles and management can let them go at the end of any 13 week cycle. Should they wish to recast mid-cycle, they would have to pay the departing actor per the terms of the contract (they wouldn't buy the whole thing out on new contracts) If it is at the end of the contract, no buy out required
I remember us all discussing that and then she was supposedly saved during that power struggle between who wanted to keep her and who wanted to let her go. Now that they've thrown her this Ian story, I thought that maybe there was no longer any discussion of letting her go. How long is this story supposed to be playing out? I thought I read that Ian is a recurring character. Will it go through next sweeps period or is it meant to be a shorter term story, if you know.
The discussion about her only ever simmered, it never died out. Ian's story is longer, Leyla is not necessarily essential to it
Chat Up, this is just my guess, but could they be keeping Robin's role limited (only for right now) because they want Leyla to succeed? We heard that she hasn't gotten alot of negative feedback because of Scrubs, could they be trying to help her gain more support by taking Robin out for a bit to try to get her more support and then when she does, they will move her on elsewhere and then start Scrubs up again? I hope this isn't viewed as negative, because I do think TPTB value KMc, it was just something me and an offline friend wondered because we haven't seen very much of Robin yet in the story.
My problem in provided any type of lengthy answer to this is that it will be torn apart elsewhere. Suffice it to say that is not what they are trying to do.
I love how they are going to give Robin a POV through Liz. But I am wondering if they will give Liz a POV through any of this. They seem to not be writing for her POV and I was wondering if you knew if there was plans on changing that,
Thanks
I haven't heard anything on that, I'm sorry
Hey chat up!
Great to see you!
This is my haven and heaven at the moment. I have work to do tonight but while eating dinner, I thought I would check in with everyone.
Saw the ratings and the demos really impressed me! A 0.2 jump in one week is fabulous! Do you think those wearing mouse ears will give any credit whatsoever to the Robin pregnancy due to the soap press and promo?
Hey m2c -
Some credit has been given where it's due - and that's one of the places.
I'm now really out.
Hi chatup are people happy with the ratings for last week. They did really well.
the improvement in the 18-34 demo is good news indeed. However, it needs to be sustained for it to have any real impact.
Sustained all the way through sweeps?
Yes.
Chat Up, if the ratings sustain through sweeps is there a chance there will be a change in Head writer? Thanks.
That particular item has been on the table for a while.
I would say showing improvement only bolsters the case of the people who are working for a change.
Awesome!!! Would that mean Wolf or would they attempt somebody completely different?
That I am unsure of.
Will GH or ABCD ever consider releasing Old eppy's on DVD? It would be great for us generational watchers to re-live the good ole' days!
They might but I haven't heard anything in that regard.
Any idea if they are taking the Robin/Liz friendship anywhere? I always believed these 2 matched up well and found it strange they weren't work buddies until now.
My understanding is that Liz will be Robin's voice of reason through some of the more challenging aspects of the pregnancy but I don't know how long they are going down that route (source)

Sam will receive a shocking news from Patrick (source)

February 21st , Patrick learns he's the father after hearing a conversation between Liz and Robin. A angry Patrick confronts Liz.
Not sure if this is the person above or not...
Patrick asks Liz to keep quiet. He doesn't want Robin to know that he knows.
Ave specced this but...
well that is what happens. This part happens on the 21st/22nd.
Why is he yelling at Liz?
I don't know the specifics. Only that he is furious but then asks Liz to not tell Robin that he knows. Liz agrees as long as he steps up and takes care of his child indirectly. That is the only info i really have. Believe what you will (source)

This is all from M&M
MM, have you heard about Patrick learning the paternity secret on the 21st?
Nope
going by what you know with your spoilers, would you say it's a possibility?
Nope. (source)

Patrick does not find out anything about the paternity anytime soon.
and by soon you mean not in Feb sweeps?
fact. I did not want Patrick/Robin fans to get their hopes up. I am not answering any questions but I wanted to correct this. (source)

Do you know who else Liz shares scenes with tomorrow?
Patrick and Robin and Jake (source)

Patrick asks Leyla to move in with him. (source)

Chat Up:
CU...can you give us ANY thing that Scrubs fans have to look to the next two weeks or so? Specific moments? I am starting to get frustrated with the "things will turn around soon" "Scrubs are still the story"
As I've said before I don't have specific scene information as I don't have access to the material that would provide that to me. You have other insiders who can give that to you.
And as I don't have specific information on this pairing and it's a hot button issue, it's probably best I just refrain from answering on the subject until things start to improve. Less frustrating for everyone all around. (source)
TTYL:
TTYL -- Since you have backstage stuff, what can you say about how JT feels about things? I thought the Patrick character was awesome up through the flirting with the playboy bunnies. Also, what do you know about why the HIV informed consent has been so mangled? Is there no one there who cares about being responsible?
From what I have heard JT is HAPPIER than he has been .. I haven't gotten the impression that he has been unhappy or heard anything about him being unhappy like he was last year. From what I am hearing , if anything, he is excited that the baby story is kicking into gear.
The HIV angle - I need to ask around. I have been out of the office for a while - and now with getting sick I need to ask around.
TTYL, was his unhappy phase -the NS phase, or something else?
NS and coming off of NS for both JT and KMc were rough.
From PA's it seemed as though Kmc really enjoyed NS. So, she was disappointed as well?
She's a company man first.
TTYL was that because it didn't turn out the way it was promised to them? I know that Patricks character took some hits - but during NS, KMc got some great material. Were they unhappy just because it stalled their story or was there more to it?
Kim herself was great and as you saw, got lots of meaty stuff but her pairing suffered greatly...and JT and his character suffered. Those were concerns.
If you have access to her can you tell her to quit with the bangs!!! I get the impression she is the consummate professional from her PA's I have attended.
I'm sure she already knows the feelings about her hair.
I took it to mean, even if she HATED something, she wouldn't bash her employer in public. In private would be a whole different matter. TTYL am I on the right track?
Correct. She's have to really be upset to break ranks. Only recent thing I can think of was SD's firing.
TTYL, JT and KMc both relized the damage done by NS. Did TIIC realize Patrick may not rebound from this NS redux on GH. Do they really think fans would accept this story direction?
They still consider NS a relative success. (don't shoot the messenger) And any "damage" that they felt was done to the character they felt the ground could be made up on GH.
TTYL is there any backstage gossip you want to drop? It can be about anyone. TIA!
I think I gave you guys all I had.
My last rites drop was the latest.
Sorry.
You can't give us more hints on who they were ..can you??
I thought I came back and told you? NB and JD. (source)

GH's TMK is rumored to be a face from the past. We won't blow it by reporting any more than that.

Regarding the above scoop, with the way things are now with the writers strike noone knows what is going to happen that far out. They haven't even filmed all of sweeps yet, much less what will happen down the road. The actors themselves don't know their s/l that far in advance. Things can change at anytime. (source)

Robin and Ian clash with Patrick. Alexis and Sam take Ian and Robin's side. Patrick tries to get Alexis to see his side but she doesn't. (source)

I'm going to say it one more time.
Scrubs is the story.
Leyla is creating angst. Robin believes Patrick is moving on. It'll come into play later on when he decides he wants to be with her and HER baby and she believes he's just feeling sorry for her because of the health issues that arise during her pregnancy.
And that's it. I'm officially through even talking to Scrubs fans after this.
This negativity is just mind-numbingly boring and at this point its really not worth it anymore because you guys have been told by everyone on the internet what the story is and you refuse to believe it. (source)

Oh so you are psychic too? So what does Patrick say to Robin on Friday when she catches him staring at her?
Awww, tell me! I am always a good and postitive scrubbie! Please! If not, thanks for letting me know that they are on Friday. How about tomorrow? Very Happy
Well since I didn't get an answer I'll tell you this before I split...she asks what he's doing and he says he was just thinking about if it had been his baby.
Also Sonny really loves red shoes and Jason likes lighting fires for Liz.
Later SD.
Is Friday the Riz scene?
Liz tells Robin again to tell Pat the truth.
Ok really got to go. (source)

SON: Despite rumors circulating around the net that ABC Daytime's "General Hospital" is getting a new opening sequence, Soap Opera Network can confirm that those reports are untrue. For weeks message boards have been abuzz that "General Hospital" would be getting a new opening as the show began adding new characters to its roster nearly moments after dropping others from contract. However, according to a "GH" representative, there are "no immediate plans to change the opening." It is understood that the confusion could be related to the fact that "GH" and the other ABC Daytime dramas have recently begun showing new mid-show and post-show bumpers. The last time new bumpers appeared on the network was when each show respectively debuted their current opening sequences in 2004.(source)

I think Leyla is going to be pleased with herself again about Patrick being jealous but finds he is more concerned with Robin being pregnant?
Patrick isn't jealous. I'm not arguing with SD this early in the morning. Watch and judge the scenes for yourself.
Patrick is angry because his "set up" is being disturbed by Ian. He is very competitive in regards to Ian. Ian - though it isn't known yet - already knows all about Patrick, Leyla, Robin, etc.
What causes Robin's health crisis? Is it Patrick being a mean whore and causing her stress?
Stress and HIV related issues.
When will Robin get to tell him off for his dumping his crap on her and treatment of her?
IDK about Robin, but lots of people will be telling Patrick about himself in regards to Robin
Insider, how long will Patrick be an @ss towards Robin?
2.5 more weeks - sorry.
Insider have you heard of Scrubs nice moment on V-day?Can you share at all what it is?
I can't, sorry
>>Is there a scene where Robin tells Mac that she is pregnant or is the next time together he already knows? I have heard both scenario's. Though, viewer reaction to Robin-Mac scenes are very postive, so I would think they won't cut the scenes.
Will we see Patrick having any introspection or self awareness from people calling him out?
Yes
Will Ian and Robin develop a real friendship?
Professionally yes.
Will Robin call her mother or Brenda about the baby news?
Yes
Does Robin tell Ian that Patrick is the father?
I have heard yes and no.
Is he jealous of Leyla and Ian? Or is he bothered that Ian is becoming the new hot shot?
It is a bit ambiguous; but its really about Ian encroaching on his territory.
What do you mean by "set Up" in regards to the Patrick info?
Patrick has no professional or personal rivals at the hospital (source)

Johnny and Leyla may have something in common
I'm an idiot
Can you share anything about Robin and Patrick?
He will be on her side when she will need him the most
I'm an idiot (source)

I just want to know why Robin is not getting much airtime. She is the person I want to see on the hospital side. Do you have any idea why she is not getting much airtime? Thanks
I don't really know what has been going on there but it is going to pick up in the next few weeks. (source)

Please don't consider me an insider but I have a friend that spend about a half a minute on the GH set recently. They have never watched the show so getting information was difficult at best. Pathetic actually.
THey seemed to think that Robin's pregnancy, etc was supposed to start earlier, in Nov sweeps but was postponed to facilitate the second season of NS.(which obviously never happened anyway).
Dr Devlin and Jerry have been working together for a while and were involved together in the Metro court/Alkazar delivery thing. They are well aware of Robin's familial connections and she will be a pawn in their plan.
I THINK the TMK, black market Iraq stuff, Cooper and Daniel and Logan have/will all play into this story.
Wouldn't be surprised if Anna and/or some of the other WSB people show up soon.
I guess this is spec which came about based on very sketchy info. My friend has done several "jobs" for GH and NS in the past year, and feels his "jobs" tie together with this story. (source)

There will not be a new opening soon. However there will be a new order of characters.
Take Care (source)

There will not be a change in the opening right away. There may be additions and subtractions closer to end of sweeps. No new order. The list that has been circulating here for days could not be legitimate on its face. The opening always includes all contract players. The list that got so many Liason fans hopes up was missing 3 contract players and contained one recurring player.
NYE
NYE - have you posted here before? just wondering?
Everytime I come here I get called a liar. I said there would be not hint of a sperm switch. I told you who Develins first scenes will be with. I also told you to watch for a Lusam/LNL2 triangle which is just starting to play out now.
NYE
Do you have anything on Scrubs, SpinMax, JLex, LuSam or Liason?
TIA!
Scrubs are gonna keep going through the crossed signals stuff you hvae been seeing. Things will get ugly when Patrick finds out Robin lied about the baby. But they are still moving ahead. They will be together in time to plan for the baby.

About NB:
They've given her a year in April. I would think if she can't hack it after a year they should get rid of the character. They even went out and hired her her own acting coaches and lessons. Far, far less than what they've ever done for JG, JT, JD, MW, KS, JMB.
They hired acting coaches for her? No wonder she comes off as a smug
Yep, she got her own personal acting coaches and lessons on GH's tab.
Jon Homa is the in house Acting coach that many of the cast uses. I wouldn't be so sure they brought outside acting coaches in. Maybe dialect coaches ?!?
I'm not speccing. She got her own personal acting coach and private lessons on GH's tab. Phelps and Guza love her.
Love or loved?
Do you have anything else?
Love as in present love.
How are JT/KMc doing with this s/line?
JT is cautiously optimistic this will turn out better for him/his character than this same plot on NS did. KMc likes the potential for the story and is excited in that respect. Whether GH bothers to deliver remains to be seen.
Any idea why they will not allow her to move away from JT/Patrick's side?
No one else will take her and they like her/jt's aesthetics together.
I would guess that they have found how to best have her work the scene. That may have helped in the relaxed vibe you're seeing.
Standing, sitting or laying down? Notice how she doesn't really move anywhere in scenes and when she does her acting level goes down markedly?
yeah, that's a concession that the directors have come up with to help her with her issues with blocking and flubbed lines when she has to move around in scenes.
Be brave insider-does this mean she will always be stuck in Scrubs?
Unless she strikes a spark with someone else I don't see her being moved anywhere else. Sorry.
Will it always be as a romantic rival or will they move her on in their story in another capacity?
Also do TPTB think that KMc's Robin s not attractive enough for JT's Patrick?
Rival
IDK what their issues are with JT/KMc. I don't think that's it. At least I've never heard that (source)

Someone tell me that that crap in the IL about NB and acting coaches and never being moved away from Scrubs is total BS, please.
Acting coaches - she has been given a little help.
Staying in scrubs? This is her last hurrah with Dr Ian Devlin. She has to make this work on her own.
but, won't they expect her at some point be able to walk and talk at the same time? they can't always have her standing still to deliver her lines.
Well, when you make more work for the crew you aren't endearing to them. She is a nice girl, but her shortcomings are obvious. So yes, sooner or late they will have to address those issues with her. (source)

She wasn't meant to be in scrubs forever - just long enough to be "angst" until NS2 started. But with the strike, lost revenues, NS2 in flux, NB has to make it on her own...she has had enough time. (source)

1/30 Robin and Patrick

::Golden::
Robin and Patrick engage in an ugly spat over their usual sore subject: baby-making. Nothing’s changed in that department, other than Robin’s having Patrick’s baby and not telling him about it.
The ugly spat provokes Robin into blurting out that she’s already with child, and it’s not his, so rest assured and go to hell.
Robin keeps the paternity to herself, so Patrick isn’t the only one at the hospital to think she was artificially inseminated.
The only hospital person Robin confided in is Elizabeth.
Patrick confides in his buddy Ian … thank God the father of Robin’s unborn baby isn’t him.
Robin can’t shake the paranoia of Patrick keeping his eagle eyes on her, and shares this fear with Elizabeth.
Leyla catches Ian’s eye. The two head out and off for a cocktail. Too bad for her, but I don’t think Patrick gives a damn what she does with her free time as she’d hoped he would. He only seems to care about Robin.

I told y'all that Scrubs fan would love Ian in the long run. Laughing And I still stand by that.
Why though?
Like I said, talk about a catalyst to bring two people closer together. (source)

Patrick isn't getting knocked down at all IMO. He is happy as a clam fucking and carousing and completely free.
How wrong you are.
not really ....he's quite happy on screen
Okay. Don't say you weren't told beforehand. February is not going to be a pleasant month for Patrick Drake.
Ian is going to be the catalyst to knock sense into Patrick
What sense? That he loves Leyla and wants to settle down with her? The focus seems to be on that triangle.
There is no triangle. And people here who harp at it just make me laugh. And you'll see that for yourself when the next few weeks are over with. (source)

A little information that I'm sure no one will believe.
But if people sit and think about this stuff for a while they'd see the clear comparison between what's happening now and what was originally supposed to happen on NS.
NS's initial outline was to have a Robin/Patrick breakup that would ultimately lead to him being "brought to his knees" before a reunion. That's what you're seeing on GH now only it's fleshed out much more. Patrick is on a crash course to disaster, professionally and personally. One of Ian's many purposes is to assist Patrick in being brought down to a level where they can build him back up. Will it be a re building process everyone wants? Probably not. Nothing on this show ever is. But that is the plan. And the ultimate plan in all of this is to end with Robin and Patrick reunited. And don't ask me for a timeline on that because I don't know and I refuse to lie and give you a time that will be picked apart and used to base my legitimacy from.
Have a nice day Soapdish.
My last post today. I'm going to try to address Leyla's place in the Scrubs story.
TPTB see the inclusion of her in their story as two things. One, as a plot point and angst for Robin/Patrick in order to keep them apart longer and give Robin a reason to act so out of character in keeping the paternity a secret. Two, it's something to give NB/Leyla. They are at an end point with that character, meaning they have no idea what to do with her. I see people say they wouldn't be as angry if it was a random character Patrick was hooking up with. But it might as well be. The only reason it's Leyla is because it gives NB something to do and they do not want to admit quite yet that her character isn't quite working.
I know it's not the answer people want and I know you still may be frustrated with her part in this, but it's all for a purpose and that purpose isn't to make a pairing between her and Patrick work. (source)

When do Scrubs start to bond over the baby? March, April,May, or ever?
Over the baby? I don't know. When do they grow closer? I've heard March. But it's a slow process
Insider,
Does Leyla have sex with Ian?
Thanks!
No but she lets Patrick believe they did.
But he's not jealous right? Annoyed, but not jealous?
He's bothered by it and warns Ian about Leyla not being that type of girl. (source)

Insider
Do Jason and Robin have any scenes together anytime soon?
The week of the 4th
Insider do have any info on Ian and Robin? does Robin get to tell her family she is pregnant? and is she getting a house anytime soon?
When Maxie and Robin talk it'll be like it's already common knowledge. There is no scenes where she announces it. Robin isn't getting a house during sweeps.
Thanks insider. When does Robin share her first scenes with Ian?
Monday or Tuesday. I know it's two days in a row but can't remember which two. (source)

Do you have any info on Scrubs?
Are they on Valentines Day?
They're both on.
Patrick takes Leyla to the MC for dinner on Vday. Robin is working at the hospital.
...False.
Correct. Robin and Patrick are both on and working at the hospital that day.
any idea what their scenes are about? are you the insider who posted the solaudia information?
No, and I don't have details about the scenes since they haven't been filmed. I just know Robin and Patrick are both on and the scenes are on the hospital set. (source)

NB looks OTT with the fans blowing. (source)

So can we spec about what the moment is or what we could like it to be?
Course really at this point them not yelling or being intentionally cruel would be nice!
Nice V-day moment?
Patrick bringing flowers for the new mom?
Patrick brings her something she is craving?
Patrick brings her a baby gift?
Or is it related to the old sd spec about Patrick seeing the sonogram for the first time and gets emotional?
Patrick and Robin hearing the heartbeat?
Patrick telling her what a great mom she will be without censure?
What else?
I can tell you that I don't know anything about a sonogram or heartbeat, doesn't mean it won't happen, I just don't know anything about it.
And I can tell you, you're very on track in at least one of your specs. Smile

Greener Mountains coming to DVD

Trailer:

credit to We Love Soaps

Greener Mountains is the coming of age story of JP Barton, an adopted boy raised on a throwback Vermont family resort. Since being found as an infant by the mercurial aging owner, JP (Chris Heuisler) has essentially never left the resort grounds. But with the arrival of a young, free spirited New York artist, Alice Flynn (Kimberly McCullough), his sheltered life is suddenly turned upside down. Her arrival, plus a convergence of events, propels JP on a bumpy ride of self-discovery. It's not until JP accepts who he is, that he realizes what's most important to him. As a result he is finally able to win Alice and in the process save the resort. Greener Mountains is a story of finding out where you belong in the world and discovering that who you are is often more than enough. (imdb)

Hmmm...not too much happening other than there are 2 people who have been given "last rites" so to speak regarding their status. One is male one is female. They either hit pay dirt or hit the road.
TTYL
TTYL, I asked these questions this morning, but you'd already left. If you are aware, could you ask around or do you know the answers to these questions?
With regards to Patrick's 'professional mishaps' that cause him to be stressed:
Is it just the stupid antics with the whore?
Are more patients expected to be dying on his table with no explanation?
Is he going to be so preoccupied with Robin and whether or not he made the right decision about their relationship, that he's going to start messing up in the OR like Monica has been (not that I'm suggesting he starts drinking, that's been done to death, but just the freezing up or zoning out stuff)?
TIA if you can help me out here.
No
Not that I am aware of
Can't say at this time.
Great to see you TTYL. Hope you feel better. Tis the season, I guess though.
You mentioned insiders deliberately throwing in false info to cover their butts...you're not one of them, are you?
Also, I don't know if this has been asked or not, but does this look about right?

SCRUBS
Will Robin have scenes with Mac? Yes
Is Noah coming back? IDK
Will Ian put Robin in danger? IDK
Do scrubs get closer during sweeps? Yes
Does robin have a health scare? Yes
Will Leyla be having sex with Ian? Yes.
Will Patrick care and try to save her? No.
Will Leyla have sex with Patrick still while starting up with Ian? No.
Will Leyla either become pregnant or pretend to be pregnant? No.
Is Patrick going to know he is the father of Robin's baby before the end of Feb sweeps? No.

Thanks!
I don't put in false info, if anything if I think I have been given false info - I won't post it at all. But when I do post, I always keep in mind that something I have posted may be false.
I saw your list of ques, I just am really not up to getting up out the bed and looking for my sheets..but I can say that sweeps will not be a heavy scrubs month. The introduction of Claudia will be in the forefront.
As far as I know Leyla will not be pregnant.
I don't have Patrick knowing he is the father in Feb.
Robin will have a health scare, but nothing I have says in the next 2weeks.
Don't know about Noah.
This is off the top of my head, so I will have to look at my sheets to see what I have and if I have missed anything. (source)

Leyla and Patrick will continue with the occasional rendezvous throughout the month of sweeps. Leyla and Ian will flirt but she will not be having sex the new doctor. She will allow Patrick to wonder if she did and Patrick will not be pleased because in his opinion "Leyla isn't that type of girl". He will actually say this dialogue.
Remember This. (source)

I am thankful for any info dished out, but you have to understand that some of aren't seeing a Scrubs story on screen, I hope that will change, but so far nothing is screaming scrubs to me.
I get that but I am tired of posting the same stuff over and over and since I'm getting frustrated, it's probably best that I just not for a while. Before I take a break let me leave you with this:
the Scrubs story, for those who aren't seeing it, should be more evident in the coming two to three weeks - chapter 3 if you will. (source)

whats going on with peyla?
Patrick's attention is mainly on Robin. Robin w/Ian. Ian's place in the hospital. He's concerned Ian may hurt Leyla but this is played out only in a passing comment.
He is more bothered by Robin's pregnancy that he will admit.
Told You So. (source)

I don't know what all has not been spoiled but haven't seen this.
Next week, Mac has a scene with Lucky where he talks about Coop being the TMK. He's feeling really down because he raised Robin, she's HIV positive, Georgie is dead, Maxie was dating a serial killer before his eyes and he didn't even know it. (source)

Does Patrick find out about the baby in February? Does Robin have health issues?
No reveal or health issues during sweeps itself. (source)
Told You So

will the tmk killer be resolved during sweeps??
People will think it is resolved. It isn't. (source)
Told You So.

By the way this is what I heard as well. No paternity reveal during sweeps and the health issues are at very end of February or early in March. The first 2-3 weeks of sweeps are Patrick acting like a complete jackass because of Robin being pregnant and because he feel he isbeing replaced by Ian everywhere. He also has some professional mis-steps but it isn't clear if it is because Ian is setting him up to be the fall guy or what. Either way life is not great for Patrick. Also remember this will play out over very little airtime as truly the mob is eating up sweeps.
What do you mean by a complete jackass? I have my armor on, you mean sex with Leyla or anything that moves?
From what I can tell he doesn't actually have sex with anyone again on screen nor is it indicated that he having it off screen but he is doing his best to show Robin's news does not affect him. (source)

Not the OP, but if you were a Scrubs fan, would you watch?
If I were a Scrubs fan I'd watch select clips during the 1st 2 weeks in February. And start watching live afterwards. Wink (source)

To give you an idea about how Patrick is going to act about the pregnancy think back to when he thought Nik was taking her to lunch. It will be pissy like that without the actual kissing another woman. (source)

Thanks!! Very Happy I am pretty strong. I sat through Night Shift. Do you think I handle the next two weeks?
Anyone can handle the next two weeks except the purists. Wink (source)

being that robin will be avoiding patrick, i don't see that happening..
Patrick doesn't harrass Robin about the pregnancy. Robin will start distancing herself from him somewhat and he gets sulky & irritable. He tries to hide behind the facade of "Everything's fine. Congratulations!"
Time to finally move on now! Patrick's true feelings will be start becoming obvious to viewers but not to Robin. (source)

So was it just a speculation that all those guys were gonna visit robin and congratulate her on the pregnancy?

New Opening insider
When does it debut?
Bomb worthy spoilers por favor?
Jan 31 (source)

is the new opening insider on?
if so- is there a new song too? or just a switched order of pics?
the current song is so cheesy!
i love friday night lights' opening - wish they'd pick a less jazzy song and more of a theme like that...
They're all wearing black, but no the rest is the same. (source)

Order is diff....song is same.
So same flashing lights and colors? Is the there a group picture at the end?
It's gone.
new opening insider- all new shots/photos of people wearing black?
Some clothes had to be tinted to look black.
Now that is just cheap
Actually CGI is expensive.
Well why didn't they just put everyone in black then?
Because they'd have to reshoot them all (i'm not the insider), just guessing - budget wise cheaper to tint it right?
Still got all the guys at the end?
No, but one shot looks night shifty.
Is it the shot of what PC supposdely looks like?
Yup. (source)

Do you know when Robin is on this week? TIA
Tuesday and Wednesday
Thanks do you know who she shares scenes with? TIA
The hospital crew.
When does she get into it w/Carly?? when do Jason and Spin go to see Robin?
It's not happening in the next two weeks and I read my information a couple of times.
can you tell us if when robin blurts out she's pregnant if she and patrick are alone. or are they in their usual banter mode at the hub.
At the nurses station with colleagues around.
Insider do Ian and Robin have scenes? and is Patrick jealous of Leyla and Ian?
Ian mingles with practically the entire hospital staff. Patrick is annoyed by Leyla humoring Ian.
Insider Do patrick and leyla have sex again?
Not this week but the following week on Tuesday or Wednesday. It's the day after the hit and run when everyone is at the hospital. It's not seen but it's implied.(source)

Insider can you tell me what days Leyla is on this week? Patrick?
Tuesday and Wednesday for both. (source)

THere's another GNO? Who goes and what's it about?
I think it's Regina, Lainey, Kelly and the NuBlonde nurse.
Is there much of a reaction at all for Patrick regarding the pregnancy?
What is the GNO about?
He reacts. He's shocked but then covers and says good, then she can finally focus on her job and they can all stop talking about it.
It's all about Ian and how hot they think he is. (source)

You might be the worst fake insider I have ever seen!
That's your opinion. I'll be back with only LuSam related information from now on.
Just so you know Robin is wearing a white turtleneck under blue scrubs in her scenes, Alexis is wearing a v neck wrap dress in her scenes with Sam, Jax brings Carly back a lei from hawaii with pink flowers, Sonny kicks Kate out of his office, Monica holds her flask while she drives, Carly dials a cell while she drives and Sam punches her attacker to get away.
This fake insider is taking their information and leaving once and for all. (source)

Robin tells Liz she feels so alone and empty even though she is pregnant. Liz tells her to focus on her own happiness and her baby's future and to forget Patrick. With time Liz tells Robin the pain of the break up with Patrick will pass.
Ian has his own plans that Jerry is unaware of. He uses the Hospital staff and their weaknesses against them to move drugs through the hospital. Ian develops a genuine friendship with Robin but at the same time uses her for information on drug research and her connection to Jason. (source)

Normally the 411's are in the can on Thursdays of the previous week. This week they'll be available for release by tomorrow because 2/1 -2/4 is being re-tooled. The original version had all four suspects, Carly, Liz, Monica and Nikolas in it. The new version will be without Nikolas. He will still be seen in the episode but they took him out of the 411 because the plan is to make him the culprit and they didn't want viewers looking for clues about him prior to the airing.

Chat Up:
Hey, Chatup! Good to see the ratings tick up a little. Hopefully, it will continue.
Hey Chat-Up. Two questions.
#1. Did you hear about the meltdown on the set on Wednesday? Any insights?
#2. Big rumor I heard today that Guza offered to go fi-core back in late November in exchange for his contract being renewed long-term and was basically told to go and hit the picket line? Do you have any idea if that's true?
1) I didn't hear of a meltdown per se. I heard there was an actor who was not ready to go and that upset a few people - whether or not that is the story the anon was referring to I don't know.
2) As far as I know it is not. He signed the solidarity petition and from all I heard was/is committed to the strike. (source)
Hey Chat up!
So are TPTB a little happy about the bump in ratings?
It is a positive upwards trend. It needs to continue that way before anyone will even consider the word happy (source)
Hey CU! ANything positive on the scrubs from?
I don't have any new information. I've posted before what I've been told about the direction of the story which I consider to be a positive but I understand that others think less so. (source)
Hey Chat Up, I know you probably get tired of being asked the same thing over and over, but recently an someone dropped that Scrubs are up in the air and the writers don't know what to do with them. Is this true? Are Scrubs up in the air and do the writers want them apart for good? TIA
It is not true as far as I know.
What writers have been specifically told to do or not do is information available only to a very exclusive group and I would be surprised that it would make its way here (source)
Chat up,
Do you know who the TMK is? If you do I know you won't spill but can you at least tell us if it was someone who was written off but came back to off folks??
I've been given information about how it is, but I have reason to believe that I have faulty info and so I can't offer any insight on that. (source)
CU, have you heard anything about the strike possibly ending soon?
Talks are still informal and there has been not date set to return to the table formally and get negotiations done. The sticking point remains digital/dvd royalties and the DGA deal is not necessarily a cut and paste for the WGA so I don't believe the end is near yet. (source)
CU do you know if the VDay spoilers are true?
At this point I don't. I will have to check
TTYL:
TTYL, do you have anything new and positive for scrubs fans? Thanks.
All seems to be still on target for a reunion .. but what fans will put up with while they head there is a different story.
Will we at least see Patrick changing alittle? Or is more Leyla/Patrick games in our future?
Patrick will have a lot more heaped on his plate - professinal jealousy will be a large factor. I haven't had it confirmed, but Ian and Robin are supposed to be more friendly as colleagues due to Robin's expertise in drug therapy - but again - this isn't confirmed - just things I've heard.
The Leyla/Patrick games will be coming to an end .. but don't expect the character of Leyla to just drop off the screen.
Thanks, I've got my armor on. Please tell me if we have to put up with anymore Peyla sex
Leyla will be setting her sites on the new Dr.
Is there more bad stuff coming, or just angst between them?
In the SD IL, there is a post that ends with I'm Tired, I Tried, I'm Out. That was me.

Sigh ... its on the downswing, but I get tired of posting that so I will let the fans believe what they want. This part of the story is about to wrap up.
Leyla is moving into Ian's sphere, jealousy of Robin, jealousy of Patrick's reactions to Robin
Patrick is about to get slammed from all sides, Ian, Robin, Liz, professional mishaps
Robin is dealing with embarassment at running into Leyla and Patrick, her baby issues, her upcoming health crisis, her interactions with Ian, her fights with Carly, her bonding with Liz, her dealing with her family and trying to help Maxie.
So pick your poison, but it looks to me that there is a lot coming up other than Peyla.
I'm tired, I tried, I'm out.

TTYL do Ian and Robin flirt at all for patrick to see?
I wouldn't call the flirting reciprocal. (source)

Insider, here.
The favorites, are; Jason, Liz, Robin, Lucky, Sam, Alexis, Sonny, Lulu, Johnny.......... Or this is what my source believes.
The Scabs want to leave a last imprint on the canvas also I have been told. Especially since they are being positively received.
Scrubs will continue in this back and forth dance we have been seeing for awhile. Scabs have been instructed to keep them apart for a while.
The writers want to keep Patrick in this limbo for awhile.
The Scabs purposefully have diminished the HIV aspect of Robin's baby story, yes.
Insider, again.
This is my last post for tonight.
With Scrubs, I'm sorry I don't want to put false hope out there. Their future is really up in the air at this point. The writers aren't sure where they're going, hence the limbo. (source)

JoLu does have sex on Valentine's Day, but the last scene of Valentine's Day, the identity of the TMK is revealed to the audience. I'm sure of that. About the other stuff, I don't know, it could happen or not, I think Scrubs will be on that day also though. (source)

FYI: There are no plans in the outlines at this time for Alexis and Jerry to end. Also Robin and Patrick will be given a lot of angst, however it is being set up for them to come out of this together and being parents together.
Take Care. (source)

[not sure if this is spec or fact, but will delete if it is spec]
What are you talking about 'push Peyla." They aren't pushing "Peyla."
Scrubs is the story. Leyla is a conduit. She's there to show that Patrick is carefree and does not want a commitment of any form in his life.
As the story develops that begins to change and at first he fights the change, then later on he owns it but others including Robin, don't believe that he's evolving.
Robin will have a severe medical crisis toward the middle part of her pregnancy in which some tough choices will have to be made about her pregnancy. By that time, through a few crooks and turns, Carly will have learned the truth about the baby's paternity and ultimately she will end up being the one who tells Patrick the truth about the paternity (source)

Yeah, its a pretty good story and its been planned for a long time. When Patrick's character was first developed one of the reasons for the mother died on Noah's operating table backstory was because they already had this in mind.
The problem is they dragged it out for one reason or the other, just a little too long, and Patrick became pretty much settled down and in a committed relationship wiht Robin. That's why there has been so much push wth Leyla. To re-establish that he's a hard partying commitment phone, pardon my french, whoredog. That's going to continue to be a point in the story for a while simply because they do want to establish tha tlove, and impending fatherhood do change him, they can't let him turn around next week, or they lose the impact of the story. (source)

Can any insider lurking out there answer if TMK is someone we see on the canvas right now? As in we have seen their face in the last 2 months?
~DA~
Yes(source)

Another one of my friends with a inside hookup confirmed that Liz and Robin are going to become tight. Apparently Kelly and Lainey will be befriending Leyla and Nadine. Bleck. (source)

KMC- She is happy that she will be getting such a big storyline. Look for her to confirm to Patrick in may that he is the baby's dad. I don't have anything specific I just know that that is the timeframe.
JT- Not much on him I just now that everyone on set loves him (source)

Or does more happen that causes troubles at work? Is it just a matter of his sexual exploits causing people to make fun of him?
I thought Ian and Leyla were supposed to play into some of Patrick's troubles. Do they no longer play a factor?
How long is the sexual exploits angle going to continue to play out?
thanks for any insight you can provide.
I don't have a ton of details because I don't work on set and have no access to breakdowns. My understanding is this:
Both Ian and Leyla will affect him at work and contribute to some uncomfortable moments/situations

So it almost seems like the Peyla crap is going to continue after all, with Robin commenting on it soon?
Why oh why? Sigh.
It's not.
for sure? I hope not, I hated reading that in the IL though. I trust our insiders to be trueful, but the show has fooled us all with Peyla more then once. They just never seem to end. They are like the couple cockroach of GH: they will outlast us all No matter how many times you think you got rid of them, they are sincerely dead this time, they somehow manage to come back again.
For real. You'll see soon enough when by the next few weeks, Leyla becomes more focused on Ian than anything.
See that doesn't cut it for me. I wan to see Patrick not be interested in her. Leyla falling for Ian just gives Patrick another default exit from his shit.
Why is GH so dead set against Patrick choosing Robin and only Robin?
It's not a default considering Patrick doesn't care what Leyla is doing. He's too focused on Robin and her being pregnant. (source)

"JFP says sweeps is about the Power of Love vs the love of power, who chooses what option? and who is caught in a trap between both?"
see, the sad thing is (for me) I don't see how Robin fits in that.
but hell, they acted like November sweeps big theme involved her and it was a total bait and switch for Leyla, so who knows.
Power of love = telling the truth/trusting your heart over your head
Love of power = controlling everything/keeping people at a distance
It goes for both Robin and Patrick
Hi CU, do you know if Finola Hughes will be coming back for this story?
She has an open invitation but at the moment I'm not aware of plans
Hey CU, am honestly not trying to bait. If I'm sufficiently disgusted with Patrick at this point that I no longer want to see Patrick and Robin together anymore as a couple yet I know the show is going to put them back together, would you advise to give it up now or continue watching while lobbying for a change?
As far as I know, they are committed to a Robin and Patrick pairing - you have two choices - fast forward or write in and express your displeasure and be specific on the reasons why - characterizations etc - that being said, I don't believe they will be veering off course any time soon.
What does it take to kill a pairing?
Measurable viewer tune out, controversy, actors asking out can play into it.
So ratings tanking and fans bitching bigtime might sway the show?
It can but measurable viewer tune out is key. In order to kill pairing x, they have to measure that viewership declined because of pairing x -that's not easy to determine
Gossip and BI's seem to have dried up.
An actor (male or female) seems to have rediscovered their wandering eye and many are noticing.
Hey Chat Up! Anything new on the Scrubs front? Do we start to see them moving toward each other again toward the end of sweeps?
For obvious reasons I won't say reunion. That being said, my information is that they do the one step forward, two steps back for a while and that Patrick really struggles with the reality that Robin is pregnant.
CU, is there a reason that Robin and only Robin is in light make-up at the hospital. What is the best way to let make-up know that you hate what they are doing with a character's look?
Mostly make up is used to enhance a situation or condition - Robin is particularly stressed and worried these days and so her makeup is going to make her look more washed out.
You can call or write in - it likely won't change it, if it is direction from the show
Is this Chapter 2? (in regards to Scrubs and CU saying this Peyla stuff is chapter 1)
We're getting close to Chapter 2
Is peyla still a footnote?
yes
We had someone come on one day and say that KMc and JT were fighting, is that true?
If you're talking about the person who said they were bickering so much, they stopped production, it's not. At the time I posted that I would be shocked if they would be so unprofessional - neither has that reputation and my colleague confirmed it for me
Any offline reactions to Robin's pregnancy and Patrick whorefest from fans you can share?
TIA
It's early yet - I'd have a better read on it later next week
CU -- when do promos for sweeps start rolling out -- this weekend??
Should be - Sat/Sun - just a teaser I think (I haven't checked the schedule in a while)
What would entitle the first 2 chapters of this Scrubs book?
TIA
How to give chatup a migraine? (i'm kidding)
How about "the road to true love never runs smoothly"
Is the SCRUBS storyline suppose to borrow from the Carly/Robin/Jason storyline or is it suppose to borrow from the Robert/Anna/Faison storyline?
There will be echoes of Carly/Robin/Jason but specifics I do not know
UGH. UGH. So Patrick loves Leyla and Robin is the Carly and interloper?
No. I was referring to the paternity lie aspect of it.
Chat Up you are one very smart woman. Any ranges for sweeps demos you can share?
last post because I've missed chatting with you - the ballpark is similar to nov sweeps but they want it consistent all the way through
How seriously is GH taking Feb Sweeps. From what I see not much. The previews look like Newbie Central and Mobbies all over and that to me spells disaster for fans who have been crying for something different. What gives?
TIA
They are taking it seriously - there is a lot riding on the returns. They believe there is a greater comittment to balance and they are hoping for some payoff there (source)

See I hate that, Patrick is going to know Robin saw him, yet he won't back off the flirting at their workplace where Robin can see.
It will only get worse when he finds out she is pregnant. Dr Devlin kinda puts the kibosh on that though.
I hope he puts a permanent kibosh on it. I hate that Patrick would deliberately hurt Robin.
He is punshing her for getting pregnant - but it doesn't last.
What do you mean? He amps up the sexcapades at GH even more? God, when will this horrid crap with PnL end?
It doesn't last too much longer ... its on the downswing...then its Patrick looking the ass for a while professionally and personally.
How long? weeks? another month?
Weeks - thats it.
Leyla will be busy with Dr Ian around the time Patrick is feeling the heat in other areas of his life. Sweeps is mobcentric so the Ian/Leyla/Robin/Patrick stuff won't be playing out long and drawn out as people keep speccing.
So this week and next week? Or next week and the week after?
And is it all onscreen?
Counting sweeps?...2.5 weeks then the story begins to shift. Keep in mind they will not be on everyday. (source)

Don't fall into the tease from SID about Patrick knowing. He doesn't. Robin's health crises doesn't even come into play until the very end of sweeps and they are planning on using the health crises and Patrick's work troubles to work them closer together before he knows about the baby. IOW they are setting this up now for a May sweeps reveal at the earliest. The first 2-3 weeks of sweeps are Patrick trying to prove that by God her becoming pregnant didn't bother him at all and no that doesn't mean skanking it up all over the hospital with Leyla. From what I understand he is going to go intro overdrive hitting on people all over the hospital and very pointedly in front of Robin. He does this in reaction to the pregnancy and to Dr. Devlin being the new hot doc in town.
Thanks!
Did you happen to see the insider TTYL's scoops? Do those sound legit according to what you have?
Sounds like what I have as well
Thanks insider!
So when Patrick finds out about Robin being pregnant, he starts flirting it up in front of her intentionally because he's angry that she's pregnant and doesn't understand his own feelings about it (according to the SID article). In between that, Ian is flirting it up with Robin to get under Patrick's skin and Leyla is mistaking Patrick's friendly concern as jealousy when it's not?
Call me crazy, but I'm getting a little excited about this.
Let me caution this all takes place between almost 24/7 mob follies. Ian gets the most airtime of any of them because he is part of the mob follies. The rest don't get a lot at all. IOW don't expect this to be a fleshed out story at all.
Someone was on earlier this morning saying Kimberly's taped 11 of the 15 days of sweeps that they've taped so far. Are you saying that person was wrong?
She may have taped a lot of days but they will be short short scenes. I am not kidding when I saw February sweeps is shaping up to be the Claudia and mob hour. (source)

Sigh ... its on the downswing, but I get tired of posting that so I will let the fans believe what they want. This part of the story is about to wrap up.
Leyla is moving into Ian's sphere, jealousy of Robin, jealousy of Patrick's reactions to Robin
Patrick is about to get slammed from all sides, Ian, Robin, Liz, professional mishaps
Robin is dealing with embarassment at running into Leyla and Patrick, her baby issues, her upcoming health crisis, her interactions with Ian, her fights with Carly, her bonding with Liz, her dealing with her family and trying to help Maxie.
So pick your poison, but it looks to me that there is a lot coming up other than Peyla.
I'm tired, I tried, I'm out. (source)

Liz will be listening to Robin, helping Lulu try to figure out who she loves, fighting off the amorous advances of Dr. Ian(along with every other female in the hospital.) (source)

The new doctor in town is moving drugs through GH.
Robin tells Patrick she's pregnant..but that he's not the father.
Leyla tries to make Patrick jealous with the NuDoc
Maxie and Spinelli will work together after she finds Coop dead.
Robin's thrilled and scared about having her baby. She will let Patrick think she had AI.
Robin will tell Jason that Patrick is the baby's father.
Leyla wants to make Patrick jealous with the new doctor. Patrick's more concerned about his interest in Robin! (source)

Just FYI, most of Patrick's scenes from this point on are with Ian....and Robin.
Believe that or not, but it's true.
Leyla shares most of her upcoming scenes with Ian.
Thanks. When does Ian start flirting with Robin?
Ian is a chronic flirt. From his first scenes he flirts with anything with breasts. I don't think Robin gets really dragged into it until towards the end of next week.
what happens at the end of next week?
Patrick talks to Ian about Robin's pregnancy. This is when Ian gets a brief low down of their history and realizes Patrick's feelings for her (source)

Ian is the doctor who reconstructed Jerry's face.
I had heard that. Got anything else you can share?
He gets Leyla in trouble soon.
Also fact that Jerry's connection to Ian endangers Alexis.
I also heard that Ian may have been the one to supply Jerry with the drugs that almost killed Nikolas. (source)

Liz tells Robin to do what she thinks is best for her child even if it tears her heart apart.
Patrick doesn't show a mature side of himself around Ian, which further cements Robin's feelings about not telling Patrick.
Patrick attempts to move on and act uneffected by Robin's pregnancy.
Patrick worries that Ian will hurt Leyla. Leyla basically says she's developed a tougher core since Patrick is the first one who hurt her.
Ian deliberately presses Patrick's buttons and flirts with Robin.
Robin and Liz stand united against an intrusive Carly. (source)

1/24
Robin lets slip that Patrick is the father to Ian when he comforts her after a fight with Patrick (source)

FYI: Ian and Leyla sleep together. (source)

I don't think so. We're not that lucky. Robin has the baby secret while Patrick's with Leyla. A repeat of Cottage Hell only Robin as the bad guy.
Not chat up but Leyla has her sites on Ian as of next week. Really there is no more Patirck/Leyla stuff beyond him trying to be a horn dog in reaction to Robin being pregnant.
Is there more scenes like today and Friday to come in sweeps? Or is the onscreen crap over with?
From what I know over. Like i said Leyla is all about Ian (source)

I think there is a Carly/Liz/Robin scene coming up within the next week.
There is. Next week after Robin has announced to the hospital that she's pregnant.
Later Soapdish.
To expand quickly before I leave, take a guess as to why Carly is at the hospital in the first place?
Night.

When You’re Gone

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

Robin sat on her couch holding a picture of her and Patrick as she listened to the radio. It was pouring outside and like always the rain made her a little sad. So she’d turned on the radio and as the words started to fill her apartment she’d picked up the picture of her and Patrick from a day when they had danced in the rain at the park. She hugged it close to her chest as the words from the song started to hit her…..it was as if they were written for her and Patrick.

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

She wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked again at the picture of them. She couldn’t believe that all the happiness she’d felt that day was gone. That he was gone. She missed him more and more everyday, even though she saw them at the hospital and worked with him, it wasn’t the same. They were still not together and after today it was cemented into her that they never would be again. She’d caught him going into an exam room half naked, which meant he’d been somewhere with the nurse……and what made it worse was that she’d been on her way to tell him about their baby. When he’d turned and saw her standing there he couldn’t suppress the surprise in his eyes and she couldn’t hide the disappointment in hers. Sighing she let herself cry some more at the fact that her and Patrick would never be again.

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

Patrick sat on the couch in his apartment staring at a picture of Robin. Picking up his beer he slipped off the couch and onto the floor suddenly feeling nothing but hate for his couch…..hell for everything in his apartment. She’d picked it out, all of it, and after today he knew that she’d probably never again step foot into it. He’d thought her getting pregnant would be the final nail in the coffin of their relationship but it hadn’t been….it had been her finding him half naked in an exam room….and while nothing but kissing had happened, he’d known that she’d seen it as something completely different. She’d seen it as him once again moving on with Leyla. Sighing he placed his beer on the table and leaned his head back as he listened to the sappy song that had been playing on his radio since he’d turned it on.

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

He felt a tear slip down his cheek as he picked up the picture of her and traced his finger over her face. It was a face that even without pictures he would see forever. It was the face of the only woman he loved, and the only woman he wanted to love. Closing his eyes he started to remember what it had been like to have her back in his arms four weeks ago. It had felt right that they were together; comforting each other, the only bad part of it was the broken condom……which he still hadn’t told her about. He knew he should, but he knew that if he did she would take all of the blame and the guilt. So he kept it to himself and faithfully took his PEP protocol while he prayed that he was ok, because he knew if he was HIV+ at the end of the next six months that wasn’t something he was going to be able to hide from her. Unless he left…….which he didn’t plan to do for many reasons….the main one being……even though he wasn’t with Robin, he knew he couldn’t live without seeing her every day. Sighing he finished his beer. He stood up and walked to the kitchen to put it in the trash and then walked back out into the living room. He stopped short suddenly feeling suffocated in the wide open space of his apartment. Grabbing his keys and cell phone he headed out into the rainy night.

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

Robin pulled her coat around her tighter as she made her way down the familiar path to the gazebo in the park. She hadn’t been there since before Georgie was killed. She couldn’t face knowing that someplace she’d had a happy memory at was now tarnished with the memory of her cousin being found dead there. Stopping short of the gazebo she sank down onto a bench suddenly feeling like she couldn’t breathe. She felt water dripping down her face and couldn’t tell if it was the rain or her tears. Wiping at her face she stood up once again and turned to make her way back to her apartment, knowing that being outside in the rain wasn’t good for her or the baby. She stopped short when she saw someone striding towards her.

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

Patrick walked aimlessly through the park. He just needed to be out and away from things that reminded him of the life that he wouldn’t have. The life with the woman that he loves. Stopping he realized he was close to the gazebo….a place where on a night like tonight he’d dance with said woman, a place that once was happy….was now tarnished by the death of a young girl….a girl that mattered so much to the woman he loved. He lifted his face towards the sky and let the rain wash away the tears he knew had been falling since he’d left his apartment. Hearing a noise he looked straight ahead and locked eyes with the woman who was never far from his thoughts.

“Robin.” He said softly. “What are you doing out here?”

“I um….I don’t know.” She told him. “I just needed some air.”

“It’s pouring.”

“I know.” She said “I um I have to go.” She told him not trusting herself to talk to him after everything that had happened this week.

“I miss you.” He told her as she started to walk away. “I know my actions of late don’t show it, but I do.”

Robin stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. “I miss you too.” She said before once again turning away.

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

“I love you.” He said stopping her once again, not really able to just let her walk away from him again.

“I’m pregnant.” She said not able to stop herself.

Patrick stared at her with wide eyes. He couldn’t’ believe she’d done it. She’d actually gone out and gotten pregnant with a strangers baby. Hanging his head down he felt tears form in his eyes and felt his heart shatter at the fact that it was truly over.

“It’s yours.” She said before quickly walking away.

Patrick lifted his head and stared after her retreating form in shock……he wasn’t sure he’d heard her correctly. He could have sworn she’d said it was his……and in that one small moment Patrick felt as if his entire world had just been turned upside down. Finally finding the power to move he’d started after her. He needed to know if she’d said what she had…..because if so things were definitely about to change.
