Baby Blues Part III

The way this storyline is going, this is probably going to become a weekly post.

Let me start off by saying that Kimberly McCullough and Jason Thompson rock my socks off. In the short time that Robin and Patrick were given today to digest the concept that Robin is pregnant, those actors said so much. The emotions were completely palatable. I found their scenes quite griping, I think because in recent soap breakups, the regret seems onesided (see JaSam/LnL2 debacle).

I was alright with the fact that Robin blurted out the news to Patrick because it's believable and it was so nice to see Patrick being loving and less of an ass. I was actually enjoying myself....
.....and then the peanut gallery walked in.

I get the added drama of an audience, but Kelly and the Stan fill in would have been sufficient. The writers think it's cute shoving all these Night Shit (that's what I said) characters down my throat and I have news for them, it's not. If I was considering watching that crap spin-off, this would totally turn me off to that idea. Patrick and Robin are two legacy characters that I care about with a once-in-a-lifetime story to tell, so why is that they (especially Robin) are getting shafted on airtime?

Even more than the lack of airtime, I hate, hate HATE that the writers decided Robin should lie. What would have been great was if Robin hadn't said anything and just let everybody assume that Patrick's explanation was the truth. Robin could have just been quiet or hell, she could have gotten called away (where's that darn pager when you need it?) before the audience arrived and Patrick could have given his wrong version of the story. Kelly could have filled Robin in later and she could have run with it without actually telling a lie.

I continue to be amazed at how dispointing this story has become.

Is it too late for a do-over?

Missing:
Dr. Robin Scorpio

Height: 5'2 Weight: 110

Missing Since: Fall 2007 Missing From: Port Charles, NY

Last seen: Happily enjoying a piggyback ride given by Dr. Patrick Drake

Description: Intelligent, compassionate, loving and organized. Major planner and analyzer.

Be on the lookout for an imposter who has been claiming to be Ms. Scorpio. This imposter exhibits uncharacteristic behavior such as asking guys she barely knows for sperm donations and keeps a blog that says insane things like "Damien Spinelli is the perfect genetic match" and "he possesses all the ideal qualities that I’d like my child to inherit" and "I’ve always wanted my baby’s father to be someone I trust and admire, and Spinelli is that guy." The real Robin Scorpio would never say things because:

a) Real Robin would not consider love of barbeque chips and orange soda and a tendency to spas out at any moment "ideal qualities"
b) Real Robin barely knows Spinelli and could therefore not "trust and admire" him since she does not trust easily
c) Real Robin would never ask a father to give up his own child given that she beliefs a father has every right to his child even if the parents aren't together (See Michael and Spencer who'sthedaddy storylines)

If you find Ms. Scorpio, please contact Mac at the PCPD. Call at anytime because he'll be there since that is the only place that be allow him to pop up.
