ABC Hotsheet, week of June 22nd
As for the investigation into the death of the mayor's mistress, Patrick and Robin have come up with a pretty solid case against the Mayor himself. Perhaps even solid enough to get him arrested. But look for a big reveal involving two Port Charlesians that will turn the whole case on its head. Oh, and Alexis is involved in a whopper of a bombshell too.

SOD from SD - Week(s) of June 29th and July 6th
Floyd is arrested for the murder of his mistress. JB says that Floyd's going down, he's not going down by himself so he tells makes the declaration that he had an affair with Alexis. He's trying to divert the attention of his arrest and charging that because of their affair, Alexis is not qualified to do her job. He's pointing the finger at Alexis, claiming that she's a woman scorned and it's her self righteous anger that's fueling this scandal. Kristina is humiliated. JB says that Floyd is heartless & he couldn't help but think of NY's former governor Eliot Spitzer and how what his family endured was heartbreaking. With Spinelli, Sam, Robin, and Patrick on the case, new evidence arises by weeks end that could vindicate Floyd. Another suspect comes to light.

SOW July Sweeps Preview- Guza previews what's coming this summer:
"One of the most beloved characters will become the No. 1 suspect in the murder of the mayor's mistress. Robin will make it her mission to clear this persons name, and Patrick will support her every step of the way. The only downside to investigating a murder? The real killer might try and get rid of you!"

Latest Scrubs Speculation @the Dish ... which is quite possibly false and should be taken with a grain of salt

Again if forced to choose I'd say Patrick/Robin/Alexis/Andrea were the main characters in the scandal storyline. Sam, Spinelli, Maxie, Kristina, Diane, Mac, Raynor, Matt, Molly and The Mayor. Would be the Supporting Cast. Although it's obvious who would have larger chucks in the supporting roles then others.

Since some of the mags have been posted I'll expand a little on some spoilers:
Something coming up between Alexis and Robin involving Helena but I don't have all the details on that yet

As I said before Alexis has a string of supporters for her. Diane, Robin, Patrick, Mac, Raynor, Sam, Spinelli, Maxie.. They are all involved in some way in clearing Alexis's name.

I think this was all from GGCB this morning:
Because that's not the way it works.
They take the info they get from focus groups and adjust a story to the specifications.
Then they focus group them again.
If they get a better response then they keep working.
If they get a lower, or equally bad response
Then they start reconsidering.
There's a LOT involved in this whole scenario.
Its not just a "Oh well they did bad in focus groups on Monday, guess we'll do rewrites and drop them on Tuesday."
They get a lot of information from focus groups.
compile it, analyze it and really try to figure out what is not working, what could be changed to make it work better, what is working.
