The recast must mean that Patrick will end up in bed with her soon enough. I can't think of any other reason unless the other actress was a problem on the set. Robin really does deserve better than this. Guza thinks that she is lucky that any man give her a second look apparently. I would like her to have a new love interest. Maybe Steve Webber is a possiblity.

I'll take a wild stab that we will be seeing lots of Lisa in her underwear for Patrick to catch an eye full once Brianna Brown takes over role. If they can bring a woman on for Patrick, surely they can bring a man on for Robin. What about Antonio Sabato Jr.? He and KMc had chemistry on Night Shift 2.

So many times I have wished that Robin was never made HIV+. Guza and Phelps use it as an excuse to tie her to Patrick and not give her another love interest. Patrick gets to be with other women, but she can only sleep with him. It is a combination of laziness, poor storytelling, and bigotry. However, CarlD2 did make a good point that if Robin was not HIV+, she might have been killed off ages ago or never brought back to GH.

GH is a soap full of couples that are stale or have run their course. Robin/Patrick, Maxie/Spinelli, Jason/Sam, Carly/Jax and Lucky/Liz have nowhere interesting to go as romantic couples. Guza breaks up and reunites them every a year or so to shake them up, but he refuses to invest in new couples to refresh the canvas. I know that some of this has got to be ABC dictated because this recycling of the same boring couples over and over also happens on AMC and OLTL.

There are other ways for GH to go in its couples. Jax supporting Robin and becoming closer as he is estranged from Carly and Patrick gets involved with Lisa, would bring conflict that Guza loves and even draw in Jason. Maxie and Lucky getting involved again after the truth comes out about Liz's affair would change the dynamic there completely. GH needs something new because show is way too predictable.

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay.
    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
