Link to rest of her pics from Kickoff/GNO

From Soapdish:

• List of guests - Kimberly McCullough (Robin), Ignacio Serrichio (Diego), Ron Melendez (Andy), Sony Eddy (Pip), Adrian Alvarado (Cruz), Kiko Ellsworth (Stan), Jason Gehrhardt (Coop), Dominic and Ethan Rains (past/present Leo), and Graham Shiels (Cody)
• The actors were very generous with their time and the games they were asked to play.
  
• Sonya did say that the writing for NS2 is great and they are all looking forward to wowing us with this season. She was asked it her and BDW character was going romantic and she said that since ABC is the mafia, they would kill her if she spilled but to keep watching because she is happy with how things are going.
• Scrubs weren't talked about and the only question asked Kimberly responded to was what story would they like to erase if they could from GH and she said the Jerry/Nik one they were involved in.
• Minae told the story of how when they filmed the GNO scene Jason Thompson tongued everyone but her and at first she thought he was being a gentleman but when she found out he did it with everyone else, she wanted to know why he didn't do the same to her. At this point I believe Ron looked over at her as if to say he would do it.

from SoapZone:

• Ignacio is such a ham. A fan paid $400 for him to take his shirt off and give her a lap dance. And he did it!
  
• Ron (Andy) and Adrian (Cruz) kissed each other, of course after being egged by Minae (Kelly) and Kent (Lainey). It was a really quick kiss – I missed it.
• At one point they were asked what they were thankful for and each gave really heartwarming thoughts on it. All were grateful for the GH experience no matter what it was.
• They were asked what story they could rewrite (or get rid of can’t recall). Nobody would volunteer at first , lol nobody wanted to lose their job. Kimberly said the Nikolas/poison story. The actors involved had a hard time with the motivations.
• Who is the best looking actor? Kimberly said John Ingle (Edward) she thought was very handsome. Then said when she first came back she saw Greg (Lucky) and thought he was just beautiful.

Scene Insider:
SI, anything to add on whether Leyla gets a mom and what the purpose of the story would be? And why involve Scrubs?
I'm going to say this again because I feel bad that people keep asking.
For a while I dropped off Scrubs info anonymously but now I've let people know who I am, I will not be dropping off anything related to Scrubs or the character of Leyla.
It works out better for everyone. This way I can't be accused of spinning information intentionally to get a rise out of Scrubs fans. I can't be accused of intentionally withholding information or only sharing negative information on these characters.
Summer Insider/SI
Who gets good feedback that would be surprising to onliners?
I touched on that last night.
Lulu is popular. Johnny is.
Anything Quartermaine.
I don't want to get to far into it because I'm sure I'll be called a liar and it'll be like painting a target on my forehead.
I'll say this board would probably be very surprised by what stories, characters, actors and couples the offline fans appreciate and who they'd like to disappear.
Summer Insider/SI
And I'm betting most offliners aren't the ones writing the letters. It's probably mostly onliners. We are the lunatics invested in the show.
Mail isn't how they weigh onliners and offliners but then again mail counts for about 25% of feedback.
Polls count Zero.
Focus Groups/Surveys is where they get their numbers.
Very easy to identify offliners and onliners there.
Summer Insider/SI
SI--So my question is, if the Qs are still so popular with fans, and I know there are a bunch of save the Q campaigns, is it just a total disregard for what the audience wants, or just that Guza has no use for the Qs?
Tracy is the only Q who gets anything, and that I am sure is because she is married to Luke.
The problem is while they're loved. When people are asked who they want to see featured, no one picks them.
Summer Insider/SI
Because mailcount isn't a true representation of the actor/characters popularity. They use the focus groups for that. Even the list you have there isn't fact. MW does fantastic with mail and she's consistantly in the top 5 I don't see her on your list.
With focus groups, she's liked with Sonny but on her own she's ignored.
Summer Insider/SI
The Scrubs/Jax baby is a lie I never vouched for that. The wedding is a different story. That was dropped when Guza came back. The wedding was pushed back but it's still coming.
Summer Insider/SI
That's not what I said.
After giving out Jason & Liz would be married someone made a comment along the lines of "there's goes scrubs getting married". I asked why they thought that. My intent was finding out why one wedding automatically meant a second couldn't happen.
I never spoiled a wedding for Scrubs. Some people jumped to that conclusion.

5/26
Patrick's fears are confirmed when Robin collapses
Leyla's mom is another kind of trouble for Robin and Patrick (source)

-Robin a summer bride with Patrick by her side.
One last tidbit: This summer is all about redeption. Not redeption of the characters, but redeption of the writers and producers. With Night Shift 2 looming over Robert and Jill's head, they want to make sure that the mothership sails far ahead of its spinoff.
Do you know if we'll see much of Robin and Patrick on GH?
Robin and Patrick's airtime on General Hospital will continue to be 3 + days a week. Please remember that I said that Jill and Robert are going to make this the summer of redeption. The last thing they want is for Sri and Lisa's ratings to be almost as much as a nationally syndicated daytime drama.
do you know how they end up on NS again?
The latest information I have does not indicate this, as I do not have specific Night Shift scoops, as I do General Hospital. I will come back with more information when that becomes available to me.
Bob and Jill are going to have a lot of work to do, especially if the writers of NS2 are as good as we think they will be.
Sri and Lisa are going to be a winning team. Jill and Robert know this and lets say that the once WWIII over at Prospect has become more harmonious.
Thanks! Any NS tidbits? Or BIs?!
You're welcome. Night Shift, from what I heard is going to start out with Robin and Patrick as a solid couple, but much of the happenings will be focused on the birth of their baby. The other stories will include many new cast members as well as Ephiphany ruling the ER with her iron fist. I can say that scoops, etc are kept really close to the vest right now. General Hospital leads into the start of Night Shift.
You asked for more and you are getting it:
-Leyla's mom is set to come to General Hospital in June. She is there for a few days to usher Leyla back across the pond.
Any other questions?
-redeption.
As much fun as some "insiders" have on here with backstage hate and hostility, there really is not any. There is no hate for one actor and there is no love fest. To say that each actor on this show does their job and goes home is pretty accurate. Yes, some are friends, but beyond that, nothing. These grand romances that people have between NLG/SR and JT/KMc are grand ideas and there is nothing of truth to them. Prospect is like any other office, just that these people happen to be on TV.
--redeption.
OHH! Do you see any big stories happening this summer, or are they all gonna be little ones?
Seriously, no gimmicks at all. Night Shift Season 2 will be a great blessing for all. This summer is going to give us storylines that some fans could only pipe dream about.
-redeption
Robin and Patrick's wedding --- big or small wedding?
Big and Jason and Liz's wedding does not happen this summer. Not sure where the other information came from, but no one knows what is going on in November, no one.
--redeption
cool thanks. Who going to be there and Are Kim and Jason close friends?
Anna, Noah, Eli, Lainey, Kelly, Liz, Epiphany, Leo, Coleman (yes, even he), and many more.
Kimberly and Jason are friends. What you see on screen (playful wise, not romantic) is really how they are. Laughing and joking with one another.
--redeption
Redeption: Anything on the "big story" for Robin and Anna?
The big story? Yeah, a little too premature for me to even speculate on that one. When I do find something out, I will let you know.
-redeption
Redeption-Who's dying??
Dying? On SD, it is always poor Mac or Edward. John and John always laugh over what they hear from the younger set in regards to their impending characters "death." No one is dying, unless you count the ratings?
--redeption
redeption-Has Audrey been on set? Why?
It is news to Rachel Ames that she has been on set. And Jackal, Audrey is not dying, sorry.
-redeption.

VM is back for 6 months starting in july

Only on SD would an insider spending the day on the board be construed as bad. If you don't believe them then simply scroll or provide your own info. As far as I can tell SI/Summer Insider is the same SI from the old board.
Happy Memorial day.
Thanks to all who PM'd me. (source of the above)

Not taking questions or dropping off scoop since I promised myself that I would never do that again. But I have seen some stuff in the insiders lounge that is just letting fanbases in for a fall. So I want to point out some things that are false:
Leyla is not leaving.

• Graham Shiels mentioned Nazanin Boniadi (both from Night Shift) and her indecision over whether she should sign a 4 year contract or not, but couldn't pass up the opportunity for steady work. The interviewer said "she's a great actress" and Graham said..."she's beautiful". I'm sure he didn't mean it like I heard it, but it made me laugh. (source)

Winky:
Friends,

First, some responses to earlier questions. No, I am not bias against Anons. I have limited time, scroll and speed read. RPs usually catch my attention due to the avis. Anons, please do not take offense.

The direction for Patrick and Robin appears to be diverging. However, you will see some parallel to their paths. Misunderstandings will occur along with confrontations. Each will be monitoring the other from a distance.

Robin will be researching her options relative to a pregnancy. She will have numerous scenes with friends and family. She will also date (Leo). She will have conversations with friends and former lovers (Jason).

Patrick will date Leyla. I have suggested in the past and will repeat that fans will need to be tough or wearing some suit of armor.

October is going to be a rough month for fans of Patrick and Robin.

The storylines from NS will bleed over to GH in numerous aspects including Dr. Kelly Lee and Dr. Andy Archer and Dr. Lainey Winters, her father's death and Cody. Cody's storyline may be of interest to some.

The storylines are being tweaked and dialogue detailed.

Take care. (source)

Robin snarks at Leyla.
Next week -
Robins overhears about another date that happened with Leo and Kelly. Snarks at Leyla and gets a talking down to by Piphy. Leyla and Patrick almost do the deed but she doesn't want to be rebound girl, have things end badly and it affecting her job at GH. Patrick runs into Leo and Robin flirting, Patrick asks Leo what he's doing since just last night he was with Kelly? Patrick tells Robin to not fall for this guy while she's vulnerable. She takes offense and tells him she'll sleep with anyone she feels like. Patrick says that's her choice and walks off. Later Leyla shows up at the apartment, telling him she can't stop thinking about him. He wonders what changed her mind. She said she's falling for him. He pulls her into a kiss and it's presumed they have sex since you don't see it.
Then what are the Andy/Kelly scenes about?
They agree to support each other through their individual re-hab issues. They agree if they both can survive their addictions, they'll have sex to celebrate.
When are the Kelly/Robin scenes?
Next Monday
What about Scrubs? How long is the breakup?
They are still not together by Nov. 2. Which is the last episode I have information on.
insider what is robin doing during this time?
Looking into her options and trying to decide what to do and when to do it.

Robin decides to quit GH to start her own research facility in PC
Leyla is irked when Patrick makes it difficult for robin to leave GH
Robin tells Patrick if he interferes with her life again she will make him pay
Nadine feels connected to Robin. They bond
Epiphany is suspicious of Nadine's intentions
Liz slaps Patrick

How doe Patrick try to stop Robin from leaving GH??
he snaps at epiphany for "letting" it happen. He confronts Dr.Ford and tells him to prevent her from leaving. He takes away her patients. Robin tells him to back off or she'll make him pay. I have no idea what that means before anyone asks
will Patrick be having any story besides Leyla?
I don't know. I know Leyla is irked when Patrick tries everything to stop Robin from trying to leave. Leyla and Patrick do sleep together and gossip starts circulating around the hospital about them hooking up everywhere in the hospital. Robin ignores him and Leyla which makes him angrier.

Elizabeth slaps Patrick because he is making it hard for Robin to quit General Hospital.She overhears Patrick snarking with Epiphany about Robin leaving GH. She can't believe what he is saying and slaps him. This happens the week of the 22nd.
Also that week Robin and Emily set up a date for Jason and Elizabeth. Nadine is out for revenge, however she is not an evil person.
Robin after a talk with Nikolas about Research grants and the lack of funding decides to set her own facility up in PC.
Elizabeth and Robin bond a little bit that week

Nadine will be Robin's best friend in the coming months my friends:wink:
Insider, why doesn't Patrick want Robin to leave GH?
He doesn't want her to leave

The return of a certain somebody makes Robin's world bright again. Or does it?

Patrick and Leyla do not sleep together but it is assumed that they did by Robin and Patrick does not deny it.

Leyla and Patrick do not sleep together. When Leyla shows up at this doorstep, Patrick let's her in and kisses her, but then he stops it before it goes any further. He tells her that he would only be using her, because he's still very much in love with Robin.
Can you tell me when? And can you tell me if its a Patrick free storyline?
It starts at the end of October and is about her pursuit of motherhood. It is not a Patrick free storyline because that pairing is still the intent. (source)

Jason tells Patrick if he hurts Robin again he'll break him

OK, I'm going to break a major rule here: Listen carefully, I will only do this once.
Patrick and Leyla do not have sex. Patrick does spend the night with her however and when Robin finds out about it , its a disaster of monumental proportion. At that point she decides to go ahead with AI and become a mom on her own. That's where the story gets interesting.
See, this is why I hate to share anything with you guys. You have no freakin' idea if the story sucks or not. I told you one little detail and you write the entire story, WRONGLY, in your mind.
But the idea that Patrick and Leyla slept together DID sound good for Scrubs? No I don't think so. They don't have sex. There is no plans for them to have sex. There is a misunderstanding about it. That's all I'm saying but I would think you'd be happy to know there is no sex.

9/8
Jason advices Robin that Patrick is not worth her efforts and tells her to live her life for herself and no one else
As for Scrubs, Robin takes Jason's advice and she is more determined then ever to take back her life
J&R will have several scenes on GH which are "eye opening" for Robin.
Scrubs won't be reunited before the end of September.
Robin will decide to have a baby on her own. Jason supports her in this and is there for her.
Leyla will be tested with Patrick first, but she has scenes with Jason as well.

There are no plans to match Leyla up with either Patrick or Jason romantically, no "testing" in that sense is being done.
Jason encourages Robin to live her life on her own terms. He will light a slow burning fire under Patrick.
-Patrick thinks he's too late.
Jason has a few words for Patrick on the subject of fatherhood.
- I don't know if all those are true but there are three that I can confirm. There is a Jason and Patrick confrontation the week of the 17. Jason has a few not so kind words for Patrick.

I don't know if all those are true but there are three that I can confirm. There is a Jason and Patrick confrontation the week of the 17. Jason has a few not so kind words for Patrick.

Begging for some details on the Patrick/Jason confrontation? Does Robin see it?
She overhears it. As for Patrick/Jason confrontation,lets just say Jason isn't very nice to Patrick.
Do you know anything about the Scrubs breakup? Why is Leyla at the apartment?
They went jogging together. It starts out earlier in the episode. He asks her to go jogging and they end up back at the apartment. They flirt and then robin walks in on them in a very awkward position
He has his shirt off and they are flirting around. She pushes him on the couch and by accident she falls on top of him and robin walks in.
What does Robin say? How does the break-up go? Is it angry, sad? Is Patrick at all shocked or is he all easy breezy with the break up?
Leyla leaves. Robin has had enough and she tears Patrick apart. She tells him she's had enough of his disrespect. She tells him that since she wasn't enough she hopes "perfect" Leyla is but she can't do it anymore and then she storms out.
You don't have to believe me but that is what Robin says in a sarcastic tone of course. I've already watched the scenes.
What day do they air? Why does Patrick have his shirt off? Who else is airing that day?
They air on Thursday. They are on every single segment. He takes his shirt off because he states he's hot and takes it off.
Did Kim and Jason do well in the scenes?
Really he doesn't say much. The episode is written by TT. Most of the talking is done by Robin. After she leaves Patrick smashes the nearest lamp while Robin slides down to her knees against the wall next to the door crying.
To clarify. Robin does talk about the baby stuff and how they are on two different paths. It was a good breakup not as heartfelt as NS but it was good.
Can you talk about Patrick's reaction at all? And I know you said that P/L were flirting or whatever, but is it in all honestly not really that bad? Is it a innocent mistake?
You won't like the flirting. Its quite bad.
Insider, so Patrick says nothing to defend himself at all and basically doesn't even fight for her? Is that what you implied when you said he says nothing?
He apologizes but he doesn't see anything wrong with what he did and she says "of course not" (source)
