The problem with Patrick's reaction is that it doesn't make sense. I understand that according to soap rules Patrick probably should be conflicted but that just doesn't fit with what they've actually shown us so far. Patrick has never been sure about marrying Sabrina and was basically talked into it by Liz. Liz only meant well but he clearly wasn't ready or in love with Sabrina. He was painfully affected by going back to the lab Robin "died" in, which proved how deep his feelings for her still run. Ditto the phone call. He was looking for the possibly alive Robin right up until he arrived at the church. And then there's the "I think I'm gonna barf" look on his face during the 19 minutes it took him to barely choke out his 'I do'. Then when Robin showed up, it was like "Sabrina who?". Even in the conversation in the bride's room, he declared his love for Sabrina in the past tense. He said "I loved you" and then he quickly added "I still do". But if he really did love her, why wouldn't he have simply said "I love you"? The past tense was the first thing that came out of his mouth and he did it twice so it wasn't a simple twist of the tongue.

Patrick's feelings for Sabrina can best be summed up as gratitude that she's been good to Emma but romantically he's been ambivalent. Based purely on what they've shown us, the relationship between Patrick and Sabrina has been almost completely one-sided, like 85% Sabrina to 15% Patrick. This should be a no-brainer decision for him and the fact that it isn't is making Patrick look like an idiot who has no respect for either woman. Even Sabrina, for all her silly Disney fantasies and unrealistic expectations, knew what Robin being alive meant and she gave Patrick the out to go be with Robin. That he didn't take it graciously made him look like a waffling ass since his "love" for Sabrina is only something they keep telling us exists but we never see or believe.

I'm eager to see the look on Carly's face when she finds out that Robin's alive. I'm thinking something like this:

Damn, you summed it up completely. I agree with your entire post. And I fully expect a bitchy Carly reaction, and it will be all about Jason. Or it should be. We'll see I guess.

I can't wait for Robin's reaction to Maxie's baby situation, either.

I really hope that GH stops using the back-from-the-dead for at least five years.

Robin is back, no wait Julian is back, Duke is back, Anna is back, Robert is back. They are all in a storyline where everyone is shocked that other people are back from the dead.

So I guess Savrina's "somethinh borrowed" for the wedding was the groom? She is such a clown running around in her wedding dress. And watching Felix in the preview yelling at Patrick that his nerdy-stalker-turned-Disney-princess is missing angry.png

JT is so handsome in a "leading man from the fifties" kind of way.

The old pier set was sooooo much better. I really liked that set.

I don't actually mind them having a 'seedy pier' all that much (though it shouldn't have been at the expense of the old pier) but the fact that everyone just hangs out there - where murders take place and bodies get dumped - makes no sense to me. I also will never understand feeding the ducks off of THAT pier, like there's not any other piers in Port Charles to take a child duck feeding? They go to the seediest pier?

See Rose, I don't agree. This is the way Craptini "writes" everything - absolutely no depth. Although we saw the nurses get in line and practically badger Patty into a relationship with Sobby, Craptini believe they wrote a good love story that should compete with Scrubs. Now, while I am no Scrubs fan and absolutely loathe 1/2 of that pairing, what transpired onscreen with Purina does not compare to 7 years of Scrubs. However, in Craptini's minds, Patty s/b torn, and regardless of how inept Craptini are, I agree with this. Their inability to properly develop characters or stories should not take away from the essence of what is happening here, and that is a confused/torn Patty.

And for the first time, I'm gonna give Sobby some props. She behaved like a woman. She accepted her fate and gave Patty his rings. It was Patty that refused them. This does not bother me one bit because it's how it should be. Patty should not be running back to Robin w/out a single thought of Sabrina just because Scrubs stans want him to. Personally, I want Patty to reunite with that back from the dead bitch and leave, but I'm willing to wait it out because I like what I saw yesterday.

I, too, anxiously await Carly's reaction to Robin, but I fear I might be disappointed because, after all, she found out about Julian and Morgan being in the mob OFFSCREEN! Carly should be in Sonny face as well as Julian's, but nothing. It reminds me of Craptini whoring Carly to Johnny [to get her away from Shawn] to keep Michael out of the mob...sigh. And apparently, Carly and Julian had a confrontation OFFSCREEN, but I guess those scenes weren't critical to any story and we need not see them. Yeah, Soap of The Year...PUKE!

And I'm just gonna assume someone told Bobbie about Ava & Ava/Morgan over the phone because when did she have time to find out since returning? Perhaps on her trip to GH to run errands for the international terrorist tied to the bed?

Sonny and Puke Lavery were such a waste of space, and it was absolutely frustrating watching the camera follow Maurice around that "office" until he apparently hit a wall because it suddenly stopped. They need to open up the sets a bit more so the camera won't be so close to the actors/performers. Idiots!

That cockroach walking around with what remains of a six pack did not shock me at all - no bag to hide them, no nothing. He only had 3 bears left and offered Julian one of them. No wonder he always looks intoxicated!

Everyone individually reuniting with Snobin was nice, especially Skeletor and Piph. Cute scenes.

But the best part of the eppy for me was LW's hair. I swear this woman's hair should have it's own contract!

No Kaka, No Morgan, No Michael, No Olivia makes for a pretty watchable GH!
