AIG:
not getting any Scrubs scoops?
I've been dropping them. Basically it is more of the same right now. Patrick can not accept no for an answer. He enlists Nik's help. Who politely declines. He understands Robin and her fears about losing those near and dear to her. He's been there himself and he tells Patrick as much. It is Mac who comes to his aid. The pressure gets to Robin and her body reacts to it.
Is there anything you can give us on Scrubs? Does Patrick tell Robin about Matt initially or does that happen later on? Does this reveal affect their relationship in a negative way?
Thanks.
It does not affect their realtionship in a negative way.
AIG,
Does Patrick flirt at all with Claudia?
Does Claudia say anything bigoted about Robin or HIV to Patrick?
Patrick is over his skirt chasing ways. You should see Nik's face when he says that. In any case, he's all about Robin.
However what is up with Matt? Does Patrick confide in Liz and not Robin over it? Do Scrubs get engaged begining of October? Does Robin have a vaginal birth?
I know that Scrubs get engaged. As I said before, they have not finalized exactly how it will happen yet but that is the intended end result.
Chat Up:
This is only going to get worse.
As I said last week, and Chat-Up later confirmed, Soap Net is on the verge of becoming a big time, mainstream network. IF that happens, Robin and Patrick and Night Shift are going to be the flagship project for the launch. That's going to drive people who's faves are stuck on failing GH absolutely crazy.
Could make things very, very interesting.
Mainstream network? Believe it when I see it.
Try February, 2009.
They are currently working on a deal that will move SoapNet from a Premium Cable Channel to a basic Cable Channel alongside of the Lifetime Network. If they manage to work out the kinks involved, then when tv goes 100% digital in Feb, 2009, Soap Net will be in just about every home in the US. I was told this by someone in the know a few weeks ago, I asked ChatUp about it and they hadn't heard. But later came back and said they got the same info from another source. So it is DEFINITELY in the works. And I don't care if you believe it or not
Mandy:
I'm the person that said no Scrubs engagement until after the baby is born. I'm standing by that and for the poster wondering, Robin has scenes with Mac this week. He goes to see her at the hospital to talk to her about Maxie moving in with Spinelli and Jason. Robin does act on his behalf and goes to the PH to talk to Maxie. She winds up going off on Jason when he tells her he's happy for her and Patrick. She thinks it's a push for her to marry Patrick but he says he's happy about the baby and doesn't know anything about people ganging up on her to marry Patrick. She feels foolish and leaves. Mac is also there when she has a pain later at the hospital. Mac's there Monday as well when they get word it's nothing but stress. Patrick says he'll drop the wedding talk to help alleviate stress. Robin doesn't stay in the hospital. She's back at work the next day. When she realizes Patrick is no longer pushing marriage, she's a little put out that he's given up so easily.
I dont know about the engagement stuff but i know this stuff is true.

Matt is not a Drake. It hasn't yet been decided who he is.

Not sure why people come in here and lie unless it's interns. Matt is Noah's son and Patrick's brother. You'll see it soon.

8/31
[regarding Sonny's wedding]
Spinelli/Maxie, Robin/Patrick, Jerry/Alexis, Diane/Max and Nikolas/Nadine attend.

Do Liz and Patrick bond over Matt?
They don't need to bond over Matt, they're already friends. They do discuss the Matt situation.
When do Scrubs get engaged?
That's not happening before the baby is born.
Does Patrick not tell Robin about Matt?
Robin is present when the truth comes out. She doesn't need to be told anything.

No, that's not it.
Noah left in 1983?84? whenever as a bachelor and as quite a lady's man so I don't really have a problem with the idea of him as a cheater. And I like the Matt/Patrick dynamic so I think they will make good brothers. I'm just saying this scoop doesn't make sense.
If Patrick and Liz talk about the situation why would that convince Liz that Jake needs to know his dad. I would think at this point Patrick would be so mad at Noah he would be saying he wish he didn't know his dad. I can see the cause and effect relationship if Matt were talking about wishing he had known his dad, but Patrick's point of view doesn't really apply to Liz, Jason, Jake's story.
Because Matt almost dies before the truth comes out. That's why why it affects Liz and it makes it run straight to Jason.
How does he almost die? What happens to him?
He gets shot and that is a fact. I don't know about some of this other stuff(and I'm not saying its not true I'm saying I don't know about it.) but I know for a fact that Jerry does shoot him. That happens in a week or so I believe.

^^He isn't shot. There is an explosion at the clinic.

I keep reading over and over again in the Insiders Lounge that Robin and Patrick won't be engaged before the baby is born. That is a crock. I know that the beginning to middle of October will find Robin and Patrick finally engaged. A wedding/marriage will come after the birth of their daughter.
You can call me the Truth Teller.
And with that little tidbit I am out.
am still lurking. Believe what you will. At the end of the day, I could care less who believes what I have to say or not. Actually, I enjoy those who don't believe everything they read. If you are a fan though, I hope you do enjoy the private proposal in October.
Truth Teller
Doyou know if Matt really is a Drake?
Sadly, Matt is a Drake. No details were given to me on how this truth is revealed though. And to the LuSam fan that asked, I do not have details on them. I am a Robin and Patrick fan and usually only ask about them. But I will ask my source and see what I can find.

Soapnet sneak peak: Patrick (Jason Thompson) just won't give up and even gets an ally
SOD sound off letter
Night Snooze
"I'm not feeling good about the new GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHTSHIFT. I absolutely loved the first season but, like other viewers I complained that the only thing I didn't enjoy was the lack of compatibility with the daytime timeline. I still loved the storylines and Jason's involvement. But this new season? Ugh! The only thing worth watching is Robins story. Standbys Epiphany and Toussaint are also great but the rest of the players are awful! Get it together, GH:NS! I find myself fast-forwarding through most of the story. Bad acting and bad scripts equal less show to watch. Why should I waste my time on a show that used to be good?"

I just hoppped back on. I cant say i know if the drop is true but i know Matt is Patricks brother.
Isnt' she cold to him next wk? [regarding Liz/Jason] Maybe she finds out Maxie moved in and asks WTF is up with that....Maxie can live with you but I can't see you in secret? He pushes away still
Maybe, because i know she overhears Mac tell Robin Maxie moved in next week.

Can you throw the scrubbies a bone and tell us who Patrick's new ally is please? TIA
Nik.

Any lurking insiders care to share anything on GH?
Is Matt Patrick's brother?
When do Patrick and Robin move in together?
Yes
No information

Patrick actually feels very guilty and promises to back off and not pressure her anymore. He tells her he loves her anyway and intends to spend the rest of his life with her, marriage or no marriage. It should be a good day for Scrubbies.

8/30
The reveal that Matt is a Drake becomes one more way to pimp Jason to claim Jake when it comes out Noah knew about Matt but chose not to be his father because he was already a screw up as a dad to Patrick. Liz will be Patrick's confidante and a front row spectator for the reveal after Matt is rushed into GH. Another reason for Liz and Jason to discuss the importance of a child knowing its bio father. Another thing for Jerry to overhear and run straight to Karpov.
Except that Noah wasn't a fuck up when Patrick was 4-5, which is the latest Matt could have been born, and still be a doctor.
Tell Bob Guza that. It doesn't matter, that's the story they're going with.
Wow. How does this effect Patrick and Robin? Thanks
It causes no conflict for them. Patrick has conflict with Matt but mostly with Noah. Robin is supportive to Patrick but doesn't want him judging Noah too harshly. She talks to him about Anna's decision to keep her identity from Robin for years.
Okay, what else U got? If you don't mind.
This is all I've got for right now. I hope to hear more on Wednesday.
Timeline?
2-3 weeks

Is there always panic in the past when Liz shared scenes with Patty :lol:
It's stupid for there to be a panic. They're both employees of the hospital. Of course they're going to share scenes together. They have been sharing scenes together. It's not something new. They're going to share scenes next week. They're going to be sharing scenes the week of Sept. 8, the week of Sept. 15 and the week of Sept. 22.
Believe You Me.

Robin needs to STFU and let him be angry. His father lied to him for years if this is true. He's due some anger
Jumping to conclusions, are we? How do you know that Noah knew about the kid?
Patrick will be angry with his father and justifiably so.
Believe You Me.

No, he's Patrick's brother. And in a couple of weeks Patrick will learn that Noah cheated on Mattie. A few weeks after that we'll learn that there was child from that union. At some point Matt will tell Maxie the truth bonding them. The audience will know before they know and the actual truth will come out about the time Matt's true connection to the counterfeit drug cartel comes out. Its not happening in two or three weeks. You want a fact? THAT'S A FACT!
Does Kate have a connection to Matt/Karpov??
Thanks
Not to Matt. I don't know anything about her being connected to Karpov. She does have a secret though. That will be exposed at the wedding. At least part of it will.

Robin stays firm in her decision not to get married.
Robin's support system doesn't support her decision.

Sorry but the Scrubs proposal is getting to be big stuff here, with the NS3 negotiations (and no matter what anyone tells you they are already on the table) and NS2 continuing to show Robin and Patrick with a fully developed relationship, and not the childish superficial stuff of GH. Not just because of the success of NS2 but you guys can't imagine how many call ins have focused upon the lack of romance on GH and boredom with the MOB focus. This has been increasing in the last month, but at the same time B. G. wants to tell the MOB stories. With the stark contrast between NS2 and GH, B. G.'s lack in the love story telling has become painfully obvious. I'm sure 90% of SD will discount this but I can only tell you Scrubs is safer than any other couple on daytime.
The acceptance is going to be beautiful, but many aren't going to be able to tell you much because of what happens immediately before. Robin fans are going to love her more than ever before and yes Patrick fans are finally going to have a little validation. Anyone remember Felicia giving birth to Georgie, look for similarities with the Scrubs baby, just not so simple.

Nadine there 2 but gets booted, Patrick blames Matt, Lusam on 4 segs today, Robin and the speaker, No Nik after today until next wk..that was it.
they were ran off people doubting their info and being rude
/also NO sasha and liz scenes coming up
What is the timeframe for the Robin spoiler? Was this the one that said next Friday?
yeah next Friday

Is there a fantasy episode coming up on GH and does Patrick fantasize about life w/ Robin and Muffin? Thanks
Spinelli gets a fantasy sequence with Sasha and Leyla but that's it.

Thanks. Is is Spin's surgical team of Matt, Liz and Pip that cause him to be worse tomorrow or is it caused by something else. Do they get in trouble cause of his condition worsening?
Nadine is part of the team but gets kicked out.
They don't get into trouble but Patrick blames Matt.

Patrick will be making is very difficult for robin not to think about marriage
Its on his mind and he wants it on hers 24/7
There will be second propsal with a yes
Original they were going to have the wedding first then the birth, but they switched
The baby will be born in Nov and scrubs will get married after robin recovers
Expect alot of emotional stuff, but also alot of comedy moments with patrick wanting robin to reconsider

Matt and Patrick butt heads. It's commented on how similar they are.
Patrick and Robin discuss a compromise
Patrick and Matt become rivals at the hospital. Matt's past is up in the air.

Robin has a premature labor scare
Patrick/Robin and LuLu/Johnny are very good.

Evening lil sharks,
Sorry but I'm too tired to even tell much. So won't be around long and might not be back next week.
Srubs are as safe as a couple could be in daytime. KMc gets more male than any other female in the ABC roster except for La Lucci and believe it or not but it is true. Also about those mail counts, believe it or not but NLG, LW and BH follow right behind KMc for GH. KS has been edging out some of the more veteran ladies and get less negative mail than others. KM does well in the mail dept but is not and never has been in the top three, and I'm not a hater just being honest. And for whomever posted JMB as a top mail getter, that is complete and utter BS, prior to her breakdown, her mail has been dropping for the last 4 months.
Some vets are again highly underused, going to attempt to fix that in small amounts
Matt's daddy has changed a couple times. They know who they want him tied to though .

8/27
Patrick is furious to hear that an inexperienced doctor such as Matt performed surgery.
Matt defends himself by saying that the reason Spinelli has an infection is because his meds aren’t working.
Robin loves Patrick but remains firm in her decision to stay single.

• Nelson Branco of TV Guide Canada handicaps the 2009 Supporting Actor Emmy category and names Jason Thompson as one of the 5 contenders!
• Jason Thompson talks in SOD about the worst trouble he got in school - " There are a lot things I could tell you [laughs]. I didn't realize how bad I was until I talked about it to my parents over dinner one night. I spent one whole year in the "boot room" with nobody around me. I had my own separate desk, where all the jackets and snow boots were kept. I was cut off from everybody in the class. I was just talking a lot and not paying attention. I think every teacher would say, "Has potential, but doesn't apply himself.' I hope my kids don't take after me." (source)

Stuff We Know:
At press time no word on if TR will return to his old stomping grounds at Gh once NS wraps. "I'll be honest, it hasn't been put on the table as we speak," shares Rogers. "If it's happening, and I don't think it is at the moment, then it hasn't reached me. Is there a possibility? I don't know. If they want to do it, I'm always amenable to go back to that show. I've got a very strong, emotional connection to it. It depends on how I would go back."
What Will Happen: NS
Robin and Jagger commiserate on Stone's bday.
Robert and Toussaint share a bonding experience.
Claire and Kyle brave on-line dating.
ASJ article:
Originally asked to come back by Mark Teschner. They wanted to bring Jagger back. Teschner told him about the son Jagger was going to have and the storyline and maybe in the future Vanessa was going to come back and play Brenda.
Everyone keeps asking if he is going to GH. He says that he has NS until mid September and they haven't asked yet. He heard there is a chance Vanessa is coming back. If she does there could be something for Jagger and Brenda.

Chat Up:
Is Chat Up here?Is NS3 on the table?
Yes. As I said last night it is similar to last summer when NS2 was on the table at this time. There are a lot of variables and it's not a done deal, including the timing of it.
There were funding issues around NS2 because they were originally hoping to get it off the ground last spring so they may be aiming for a similar timing this go around but I don't know for certain
Would we have to wait until summer to see it?
Well that's not been decided yet so I couldn't tell you.
chatup, Since we have had to witness scenes with Leyla talking about Patrick, do you see that continuing or does it mean anything?
what you're asking me I think is if it means anything for Patrick and Robin.
if I could answer that I would tell you the answer is no but I can't answer it.
Hey Chatup, is it true, or have you heard anything about Frons selling Soap Net to a couple of more cable companies do that viewership could potentially double in 2009
I heard that last week and I thought, OH no, we're stuck with him forever if that's true.
I haven't heard about the sale but I know he's working double time on market penetration and believes original programming is a big part of getting a larger piece of the pie.
and yes, if he succeeds you can call him el presidente for life
Ok, can you maybe check into it because I heard he made the sale and that Soap Net would be in as many homes as lifetime currently is by the middle of 2009. That's huge if true.
Also, honest opinion? Is Pratt going to show Guza up big time? A friend of mine who is seriously in the know tells me that I'm going to be in despair thinking about what might have been at GH within the next month. What's your opinion? IS AMC really about to get that much better?
I'll have a look into the SN thing. Because shit - as many homes as lifetime - that's massive.
Pratt has been given a mandate to bring AMC back to its "once former glory" and he has a lot to prove so I don't think he'll leave any stone unturned and he's got Daran Little as an associate writer. Guza will no doubt have an eye on all that and sharpening his pencil
Aside stuff from the informed Anon:
Just interjecting here. Hope that's ok. Lifetime is owned or partially owned by Disney which of course also owns Soapnet. I heard about this deal about a month ago. I haven't heard its a done deal but if it goes through every cable company that carries Lifetime will also automatically carry Soapnet and Soapnet will be moved out of the premium tier and into the basic cable tier that carries Lifetime in most areas. Its complicated but it is in the works and is likely going to happen.

And yes, you're both right. If it does happen, Frons will get a raise and will have more job security than anyone at ABC.
Who is Daran Little?

Robin accepts Patrick's proposal of marriage but with certain compromises being made. Both anticipate the birth of their daughter but Robin starts to show signs of the physical toll carrying her baby is taking on her body .

Afternoon little sharks,
Hope all the swimmers are still intact. I only worked this morning but thought I'd drop some information that was all the buzz in the back office today. B. G. is possibly going to have another rape on GH. One of the XY writers is not happy about it. B. G. thinks violence is bringing you guys back to your televisions, and if you aren't watching mobbies then maybe you'll tune in for a little sexplotation.
--
The mob is going to be all it all fall.
--
Scrubs fans should be dancing a little dance, because no matter what anyone tells you, your couple is going to have the love and romance that fans have been calling in for. Robin will continue on the writing path that NS part Deux has been carving for her. Her positive mail and fan response has been huge. No matter who implies otherwise she has outdistanced all the male leads in the last three weeks for mail.

Thanks can you say when Robin accepts Patrick's proposal?
Also why is the show talking of Leyla and Patrick's fling so much lately?
Sorry but the Scrubs proposal is getting to be big stuff here, with the NS3 negotiations (and no matter what anyone tells you they are already on the table) and NS2 continuing to show Robin and Patrick with a fully developed relationship, and not the childish superficial stuff of GH. Not just because of the success of NS2 but you guys can't imagine how many call ins have focused upon the lack of romance on GH and boredom with the MOB focus. This has been increasing in the last month, but at the same time B. G. wants to tell the MOB stories. With the stark contrast between NS2 and GH, B. G.'s lack in the love story telling has become painfully obvious. I'm sure 90% of SD will discount this but I can only tell you Scrubs is safer than any other couple on daytime.
The acceptance is going to be beautiful, but many aren't going to be able to tell you much because of what happens immediately before. Robin fans are going to love her more than ever before and yes Patrick fans are finally going to have a little validation. Anyone remember Felicia giving birth to Georgie, look for similarities with the Scrubs baby, just not so simple.
Nite all.
Thanks

Hmmm...interesting information in response to actor mail count...Pickups have been noticed for KMc and JT, especially JT. and also KeMo and GV. Also JMB mail, noticably picked up within the last two months-speaking of JMB, she has some considerable Emmy buzz around her right now similarly in nature to the LW buzz after Michael storyline. But leaders in terms of individual fanmail: MB and BA. In terms of couples fanmail, Scrubs and Liason on top. I definitely wouldn't say RiH has dropped, in fact there has been a strong response from fans for more Ric. But NLG, surprisingly not in top three for female this summer.

Actually not true at all. KMc and JT are getting huge mail, most positive from NS2 as is KS, BA, BH and NLG. MB and SB and LW always get good mail. But oddly Guza's fav JMB and Jolu aren't getting big mail, tho' BB does. JMB getting some recog from the mags and industry insiders from her recent work but everyone agree's that this summer's storyline did not grab viewers interest. Many think that Genie and the upcoming story will hook the viewers and change that.

Wow. battle of the insiders, people's agenda's showing through. Interestingly enough, no one mentions more money was spent on promoting Spinelli/Maxie, especially interms of MTV and E! ads then the Johnny/Lulu pairing. But the wide exposure of Spinmax did not draw summer viewers either. In terms of actor's who have benefited in terms of fan support this summer: JT would be at the top of the list. KMc has always been up there, but JT's has really picked up. JMB and MW's fanmail are actually much higher than online fans seem to expect, JMB also had some wedding packages from fans including balloons delivered to the studio. BA is the highest individual reciever i would say of all actors and actresses. For the women, BH, LW, KeMo, KMc and NLG are all very close. KS's fanmail picked up a lot earlier in the year, but has now evened out. Scrubs and Liason are holding steady at the top for pairings, but Lusam was the big riser for the summer. The Spinmax/Jolu fancount has neither increased or decreased, both are pretty steadily strong. Carjax has suffered the most this summer.

How does Robin show friends and family she loves Patrick?
She follows his lead and uses the hospital PA system
sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but when is that supposed to be happening?
Next Friday.

ET Online: Tristan Rogers Shaves His Head

Photo credit: Craig Sjodin / Adam Larkey / Soapnet

Long-time fans of "General Hospital" were happy when Tristan Rogers joined the cast of "General Hospital: Night Shift," SOAPnet's primetime spin-off of the daytime drama. After all, Tristan's character, super spy Robert Scorpio, was a favorite.

But the fans aren't as happy now that their hero has been diagnosed with colon cancer -- and on Tuesday's show, he will start to lose his hair. Tristan agreed to have his head shaved. A lot of times actors opt to wear a bald cap instead of shaving their head, but Tristan chose to take the more real route -- and his reasons for doing so are personal: he lost his father to colon cancer.

"In my dad's case, he was never diagnosed. Ever," the Aussie actor tells ET. "Nobody ever gave him a colonoscopy. Nobody ever asked about it. I have been going through it ever since I was told that guys over 45 should look into this. In retrospect, I look back at what happened to my dad [and think], if they had given him a check up, he would have gone another 10 years."

Even though Tristan volunteered to go completely bald, storyline needs dictated otherwise. He explains: "There was a problem going completely bald. No one had taken into account that there has to be an appliance put on the back of my head to look like a cut with staples in it, so we couldn't actually shave my head as we had originally thought. I have less than a quarter inch of hair which is close to bald." ....Click on the storylink above for the full story.

I'm just wondering now what they will do with them if KMc and JT stay until the end of their contracts. Will he blow them to hell or keep them together. If he blows them up, who does he pair them off with?
His hands are somewhat tied in this matter. Unless ratings tank big time between now and the middle of October, there will be a NSIII and Robin and Patrick will be in it. SO, Guza is limited in how many pieces he can blow them into just because of that.

Do you know if Matt is Patrick's brother ?
No and I've been told that the two Jason's (T&C) don't know either. They both think that's where this is going based on the direction they've been given on how to play their rivalry but they have not yet been told they will definitely be brothers.

NOVEMBER PERSON, Anything on Scrubs? for november are they engaged or married before the baby is born, and does Patrick deliver the baby?Thanks
They are engaged when Robin goes into labor. The labor will focus on the HIV angle of the storyline that was promised.

Robert is not scheduled to come on GH. Believe me when I say Guza will not have TR there. As far as the birth Patrick delivers his child in less than ideal circumstances which leads to health issues for Robin. I would guess if Anna and Mac are there they are waiting vilgil at Robin's bedside along with Patrick.
Thanks. Do you know what the "less than ideal circumstances" are?
No. Just that Patrick delivers his kid in less than ideal circumstances and they are engaged when he does it.

Guza's walking on thin ice right now. If he is told to write Robert being there, you can bet your ass Robert will be there.
Guza is not the only person who does not want TR back on GH and TR has made his feelings about 'darkening the doorstep' again very clear
Again, if Guza is told to write Robert being there, he will do it. With the success of NS2 and the positive feedback TR and KMc have been getting, it is a subject that is already being discussed.

The Scrubs proposal - Aftermath

Rather than play into a who was "right" type of scenario, I'll just highlight the actor's portrayals of the scene

The scene in the hospital:

Jason's portrayal of Patrick's earnest love and declaration made it seem less about forcing Robin's hand at commitment and more about wanting her to understand that he wanted it all with her. I thought that Kimberly's choked voice when she said the proposal was "crowded" made the audience more sympathetic to the situation Robin was put in, And John J. York played Mac's skepticism well, but he also wiped his cheek as she was rushing out, which was a great addition to a heartfelt scene. Just all around great acting.

The scene on the bench:

These were the most heart-wrenching, painful and well-played scenes since the breakup scenes and/or the bet. The acting was pitch perfect - The assurances of love Robin gave him, the bittersweet kiss of love and regret, their foreheads touching, the regret in her "I'm so sorry", the pause of hope on his side/dread on hers, then "but I can't marry you", Patrick's muffled sob and pulling back in hurt, Robin holding his face to hers to comfort him, and then her need to walk away while he reels and is in tears. This was the most amazing performance by these actors so far this year, and an absolutely worthy reel for Emmy consideration. Jason Thompson has a gift for showing Patrick's emotions in his eyes and in his voice, and the incredible hurt Patrick was feeling when Robin said "No" was palpable. Kimberly's portrayal of love and regret throughout the lead up to her rejection of the proposal helped reinforce to the audience that Robin is in love with Patrick and has her reasons for saying no. It's the caliber of these type of scenes that keep the fanbase tuning in, and believe in them as actors and their characters.

However, this segues into a criticism of these scenes and really for Robin's storyline. You can skip this if you just want to just read the positive review of the scenes..otherwise you can click

For one of the better female protagonists on the show, Robin's feelings have become strangely silent. Throughout Patrick's baring of his soul, there was a significant lack of "I" statements coming from Robin - such as "I feel", "I want", "I need" - that would explain or even half-explain her ambivalence to marriage. And this is not the only time it's happened, this was also true in the lead up to the court scenes, in most aspects involving her pregnancy, her feelings on the future, how having a baby affects her views on mortality, etc. As many connections to other characters she has on the show, there are few characters asking her about her viewpoints on all these topics. We can only infer from her actions, make guesses based on her history, and read meaning in what she says about other people's lives to understand her motivations. It's a tragedy that with such a rich characterization to draw on, that Kimberly rarely gets scenes these days where Robin states what she wants, what she needs, what she fears.

And, while many viewers have been patient in allowing the writers to realistically turn Patrick in the direction he is now, the dissatisfaction in the lack of Robin's voice has also been increasing at the same time - the tide should turn now to Robin in order to evolve this couple toward the next step. We need to hear from Robin, and understand why she "can't" marry Patrick - is it because he's still not marriage material? Is it because it relates to her illness and mortality? Is it because she feels it's the beginning of the end of the relationship and that terrifies her? The audience wants to hear her motivations and understand this character; she's grown up on this show and viewers are invested in her. Otherwise, Robin becomes an unsympathetic heroine who is seemingly afraid of allowing herself stability and happiness, and viewers will increasingly tune out of General Hospital and into Night Shift to find the characterization that gives her that voice.

If you get in the mood can you tell me if Scrubs get engaged?
If I were in the mood I would tell you that they do and they do before the child is born.
But I'm not in that mood either

The preparation for November sweeps is already underway. Guza and Co. had a meeting two weeks to finish the final details of an event he believes will get them MC Hostage Crisis ratings. As much as people try to shrug off the declining ratings, it is a major concern for TPTB.
Ok, on to the event..some hints from my source who attented the meeting.
-The wardrobe department is preparing a lot material that can sustain water.
-A baby will be born in a very undesirable situation.
-There is a marriage - not Skate or Scrubs.
That's it for now. I can't share too much, but from the looks of it this will be much better then the B&W ball.

I think Carly is going be the one to deliver Robin's baby. I'd bet my real cup on it. :lol:
No. The plans are for Patrick to bring his bambino into the world under less than ideal circumstances. That is all I know.
Scrubs are engaged but not married when Patrick delivers the baby.
All I know is Patrick is the one to bring the baby into the world under not good circumstances. Well that and they aren't married when he does it. No idea what else happens
anything on Liz?
No. I don't care about the rest of GH so I don't ask. I should add that Mac isn't dying. First question I ask about every sweeps.

November 3rd scrub's baby girl is born and married in Oct.
- Fly on the wall

They are married before the baby is born
No they are not. Engaged before the baby is born. Not married
Are they getting married at all? Or do they not want to marry them?
Plan is to marry them off after the baby is born and Robin recovers.
Engagement, birth, marriage.

Matildha,
Is Robin getting a baby shower? On screen? No insider ever answers me......
Hadn't heard anything about a baby shower but I wouldn't rule it out. They are pretty specific orders about how to handle the pregnancy story and its really suppose to get the treatment, if you know what I mean.
Oh, sorry, this was from me.
Mathilda.

is it 100% forsure tham jt and kmc are not taking their outs, I gotta know!!
yes.

was patricks's proposal at the hospital and then at the park considered 2 or 1 proposals so far?
It is the first proposal.
the second proposal has not yet been filmed but will be shortly
is this the "yes" proposal?
yes.

Expect to hear the Wedding March(not sure if its Wagner or Mendelssohn's ) in some strange places. (THING RINGTONE).
Were you the one answering the questions about the drama with the birth and whether the baby will be HIV positive?
No, I'm just hanging out and taking it all in. I think the only thing I've said all night is in regard to Patrick and the ringtones. And I will confirm what the other guy said that Patrick and Matt are related. But otherwise, nothing.
Mathilda.
hey matilda (or mathilda or however we're gonna spell it) insider...feel like answering a question?
It depends on what the question is.
Any idea what one of Patrick's "unorthodox methods" is? Gracias.
Expect to hear the Wedding March(not sure if its Wagner or Mendelssohn's ) in some strange places. (THING RINGTONE).
uh oh, you better know the composer! you know how it gets around here. just kidding. THANKS! I owe you one. One of what...I'm not sure - whatever you want?
Yeah I thought I might ought to mention it could be either one or otherwise if it turned out to be Wagner's Bridal March someone would say like "She said the Wedding March, that's the Bridal March. She was wrong." So, yeah, it could be either one. I'm not sure which.
There's a video, that kind of made the rounds a couple of months ago. This couple were announcing their engagement and they got a song from a sixties group, I don't remember their name, with a girl singing Won't you please marry me and anyway, the video was all about this girl hinting for an engagement. She wore a bridal veil to bed, and served her boyfriend wedding cake, and had brides bouquets and magazines lying around and Here Comes the Bride ringtones and just the whole thing and then at the end of the video, the couple announces the engagement and the bride shows her ring and she says like I was so surprised. Ididn't even know he was thinking about proposing and its really cute. So, anyway, the guy used to be on AMC or OLTL one, I think AMC but I'm not sure and they sent the video to several people at ABCD and everyone loved it. I suspect that a lot of Patrick's stuff is going to be based on that video but I'm not sure. I do know he does the ringtones though.
Oops! I forgot. Me again.
Mathilda

i hope that baby scorpio-drake does not turn out to have hiv
there are no plans to make the baby HIV positive - there will be drama around the birth and the during the waiting period for the all clear but the baby will be negative.
Do you know if Robin and Patrick will be getting a bigger place.
not in the next month - beyond that I don't know
Will Robin survive?
yes.
Then how can you be sure the baby will be negative?
because that was decided a long time ago.

ANYONE know is Matt is a Drake or Scorpio?
drake
ANYONE know is Matt is a Drake or Scorpio?
He and Patrick are brothers.

Is the Mattie insider answering these things? (the Patrick/Matt stuff)
Are you talking about me? I didn't say he was a drake but I will say his family connection is to Patrick.
Mathilda.
do you only have scrubs info?
I asked about Scrubs yesterday. I know some things. Most of which I can't share. I'm just kind of hanging out. If something comes up and I feel the need to add to it, I will.
Mathilda.
Are the things you can't share good or bad things?
I don't know. I guess it depends on individual tastes. I think Scrubs fans will love everything that is coming up this fall. The ones who want happy ever after, not so much. It goes on like that. A lot depends on your individual tastes.
I don't want to quote that whole big thing again but I do agree that Scrubs are safe through spring, 2009.
Mathilda.
Well, no one really gets as much fan mail as Scrubs do. Spinmax gets a lot and Kirsten gets a lot too. And then Skate, Carjax, Liason all get a lot and sometimes Skate gets the most of those three, and sometimes Liason or Carjax gets the most of those three but since I've been around no one has gotten as much as Scrubs. They pull it in every week.
Mathilda?
Yeah, that was me. Sorry, I forgot.
Mathilda
Any truth that Conforti is actually writing the show at the moment? Will he take on a bigger role (possibly co-HW) when Guza returns? What's KH's position on this?
Guza has returned. I'm not sure what Conforti was doing but he was at the studio almost everyday all summer and that's unusual so I think he was doing something more than usual. I don't know anything about him becoming a co-HW though. I don't know what KH thinks about it. I know what some of tptb think about her though :(
Mathilda.
damn they dont like her? I love her. This show would be so much better if she was in charge
I think they like her writing but she stirred up some kind of trouble after the strike. I don't know enough details to share but there's something and you know, Jill is, well I don't want to sound ugly, but kind of like a bitch if she doesn't like people. Frons gets over things kind of quickly but Jill gets mad and just stays mad and she's kind of passive aggressive about hte whole thing. So, I'm not sure, but no KH made some enemies about the strike. But I don't think she's in any danger of losing her job or anything like that.
I don't either. That said if there is no NSIII with them involved I am sure Guza will implode them by Spring. He is achingly predictable.
No. I'm the one who talked about the ringtones and I did not say they are ending in spring. Someone said they are safe til spring and i agreed but I didn't say they are ending then. I don't have any info about them ending at all.
Mathilda.
Do the vets still get fanmail these days? In your opinion, does it even pay to make the effort to write in for the Qs? It seems like a no win situation.
I think it helps. Kirsten gets a lot of fan mail and people say that's why she's getting so much airtime now. Scrubs have NS and they get the most fan mail of anyone. I don't know if getting lots of fan mail absolutely guarantees that airtime will increase but it seems like it really helps and you know it can't hurt.

If the wall is supposed to be in Frons' office, I don't believe that for my own reasons. I'll leave it at that. I believe that he may have a wall, but I don't believe that anybody really knows who is on it. Frons' office is nowhere near the GH studio. Actors never go there. He goes to the studio, they don't come to him.
Well, that's my whole point. Like I said, I had a friend who temp-ed in his office about a year ago. She told me about the wall. I had never read a word about it on the internet. Have you? And tonight Mathilda is going on and on about everything and she said JoLu was going on the wall and then proceeded to tell us about 'the wall." It really caught my attention. I don't know. Maybe it was just a good guess, but its odd to say the least because I know for a fact that "the wall" exist.

anything on scrubs? TIA
Some more of the same for now. With everyone trying to change her mind. Even Leyla gets in on the act. Patrick also enlists Nik's help and explains to him that he is a changed man and that he loves Robin dearly. Also a second proposal does happen. When? I do not know but it will happen.
