Members Cheap21 Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 There was a story behind it. Krystal hated the name and only named her Arabella after an aunt of hers that had money, thinking she'd inherit it. The aunt didnt put Krystal in her will but instead left it to her cat. From there on, she never called Babe by Arabella. She would call her Baby Doll and Babe was short for that. It made sense in context wtih the characters but from someone looking in who never watched, I can see why they wouldnt get that Not at first, but she became one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Exactly. I'd have probably given the girl a chance if she was called Bella, Arabella, or even Ara... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 I loved Alexa Havin's Babe. She's probably one of my favorite soap actresses on AMC from when I started watching. There were so many names that she could have been called Bella, Belle, Ara, etc. The show didn't know what they wanted to do with her which is why her characterization kept changing. She was at times a comedic villain, then she was an ingenue, then she was a heroine and at some point they decided to make her some hybrid of an anti-heroine/anti-villain in order to keep up with JR. She was anything that would contrast or enhance JR's characterization. Alexa played her more as a good girl with a lot of unresolved issues though.

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Dammit, we just put out a fire - why are you trying to spark another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks for the background, though I still think that Babe sucks as any kind of name (and I'm not even going to go there with how wrong it is to call a grown ass woman "Baby Doll").

Members JaneAusten Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Soapboy will hate me Unpopular I didn't like Robin on GH from the time she returned to GH in 2005 on. I hated how she was written and I think KMc played Robin very cold. And I loved Robin up until she left the first time.She was probably my fave female in those years next to Felicia and Tiffany.

Members ChitHappens Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 @JaneAusten Not sure when I began hating Robin but I did - I violently hated her, and it was not healthy for me. She leaves at a time when I don't watch GH, and that upsets me as I have wanted her gone for so long. Good riddance to that overrated bore!

Members Cheap21 Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Silly people. Robin stunk before she left in the 90s. Her ugly ass haircut didnt help matters either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 I don't hate you! Robin's tenure from 2005-2012 is my least favorite. While I did enjoy her quite a bit and did like Scrubs, the Robin of the 21st century just didn't compare to 1980's/1990's Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Part of the issue for me was the pairing. I hated how they wrote her in that pairing and they bored me and I actually don't miss her on the show at all. But that has more to do with not caring about GH and that the canvas got to a point where characters like Robin became useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Robin somehow managed to suck the sexy out of Patrick. She was poorly written from the time she came back, but so was every character who wasn't a mobette. She was shown as being a great friend, then she turned around and was disloyal. Maybe if Kim McC played her with more warmth, she might have worked better. Not sure, because I think the orders were that every character on GH existed to prop a favored few.

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Speaking of Robin Scorpio and unpopular opinions: She and JJ Lucky should have been the young leads of this show. Both beloved legacy characters that had ties to everyone (that mattered) on the canvas would've served this show a lot better than whatever it pulled out of its ass. Forgoing that easy route while: a. emasculating Lucky throughout his subsequent recasts to prop up the roided goiter b. treating Robin as if she were fortunate to be even breathing the same air as Trifecta of Suck or her assbag husband is another reason why GH kicked the bucket.

Members ChitHappens Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 I never bought Scrubs, and I would only wish GH was on long enough so Patrick can get his sexy back. That albatross, Robin, did him no favors! ANDREA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
