SOD from SZ via SB
Guza: "We've brought Sweeps to September." He says sometimes you reward the audience when the story is read to be done, if it's not in sweeps, it's not in sweeps. They brought a real carnival to the parking lot outside the GH studio. He notes is's movie production values. He's very proud. The carnival will be the place for the culmination of the medical story, and put several secrets closer to beign exposed. Claudia/Michael, Dominic/Dante specifically.

Andrea drugs Edward. Edwards crashes into the carnival while driving there. Heart attack. "This is the generating incident." In dramatic irony, her attempt to get rid of the only witness leads to her own demise. Byrne thinks it's a fantastic ending. Her character is run down by Edward's car. "Poetic justice," and she thinks good writing.

SOD Casting:
Week of 9/7: Martha Byrne's run as Andrea Floyd comes to a dramatic end.

Soap Opera Source, Week of 9/7

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

9/3
MARTHa Byrne was supposed to have stayed a bit longer, to wrap up the Murder mystery story. But she was cut earlier, thus the whole stupid Edward mowing down people at the COD. This is why JT and KMc have been on a extended break from the show, their story was CUT. Cost savings to fund the COD and Sonny and his spawns storyline. My guess is TG's big entrance story and Tuke part deux was CUT. Again budget reasons to pay for the big mobbie COD storyline. I've also heard that NP is about to be cut for budgetary reasons supposedly.

I also was told not to expect Scrubs to get much airtime through November sweeps as the show will be focusing on the Mob side of the canvas. My guess is Scrubs will be doing another dragged out medical mystery story, with minimal focus and airtime through Feb sweeps. Let's face it, they aren't A players, and neither is Tony Geary anymore, let alone Teethan. In fact where is Teethan these days.

9/4
Andrea...

* Robin learns the truth from Edward before the lethal dose takes affect.
* Edward crashes through the carnival.
* Edward is devastated to learn at what he has done

Right now Robin/Patrick are safe but also do not have any significant focus any time soon. Medical mysteries will continue. Since Guza cannot mess with them this is his idea of writing for them.
