  1. It does seem odd that a show that loves exposition hasn't had Patrick/Robin talk about the horrors of her experience. #GH

  2. @soapsindepthabc She had her own room, three meals a day & Nurses Ball DVDs to watch. What was so horrible?

For all my bashing of Ron - and I do a lot - I will say it's nice to be talking about Lucy and Kevin in 2013.

I read that he was snapping at one of those SID people on Twitter today? Is that true?

I'm not sure what people expected from this story. It's been obvious for a year or more that he's trying to make Sabrina a star.

Yep! I only caught was was RTd, and apparently, the SID person is a bigger Robin stan than a Craptini stan and didn't appreciated the Sobby propping. Ron reminded that person that Robin didn't go thru all that much while she was being held captive. Someone else mentioned that Ron said something to the affect: Robin was fed and treated good while held captive.

Ron is making it sound like Robin voluantarily took nearly two years away from her family to help Save Jerry Jacks

I forgot to mention, I rolled my eyes so damn hard at Lucy justifying Franco's actions and saying - literally - "The tumor made him do it!" I literally can't. But I'm glad they at least juxtaposed it with Franco choosing to enact violence.

I've had no time for Ron for a least a year but that's just icing on the cake. The man is either certifiably insane, completely stupid bordering on mentally retarded, or some combination of both.

I assume he was joking about Robin's time away, but the sad thing is I can't even say 100%.

I laugh when people praise Patrick's indecision for its realism. Come on. This isn't about realism. It's about Ron wanting the story to focus on his favorite and frame it as her being hard done by.

This is essentially a much worse written version of Kathleen/Cass/Frankie on AW, although at least Frankie (who annoyed me quite a bit at times) was played by a superb actress.

I would buy Patrick being Torn if he wasnt so hung up on robin and wearing his wedding ring a few months back. Epic fail Ron


Maybe Ron doesnt know what to do with Sabrina if she isnt tied to Patrick???

.@soapsindepthabc Is it really possible some people didn't realize I was joking?

Pity that some took him serious, but this is what happens when you make light of someone's feelings. Many are extremely unhappy with the writing for Scrubs, and they certainly have valid complaints, but moRon makes fun? That's just stupid. He simply does not know how to back off.

  3. @carlivatiron @soapsindepthabc it wasn't a great joke. Are they going to talk about the two years apart?

  4. @carlivatiron @soapsindepthabc with all due respect, it's hard to smile about this story. How could he not even ask how she was doing? Sad.

  5. @carlivatiron @soapsindepthabc YES unfortunately!! I am really not sure how they could NOT know!

Too bad GH won't replace HWs

Well since Ron Started this and its about a GH story he wrote that is on air, I think it will be fine

It's my fault, as I brought it up, since it involved someone working at the show, not just fans. My apologies.

I think it makes sense for Lucy to fall into old patterns. She's been without Kevin for a while, in addition to their divorce or separation prior to her return. She's always had those weaknesses, and she and Scott have a long history.

I didn't care for most of their interplay on PC, because it was often so full of sturm und drang and self-importance, built entirely on dismantling Kevin and Lucy. But here, in their limited story capacity, Scott and Lucy have been a lot of fun together, and we know she and Kevin will find their way back to each other. It is, as others have said, insane to be able to talk about these three again in 2013. So I don't mind this storyline, slight though it perhaps is. I think it works for all three. I never, ever thought I'd see them around like this again.

I agree. The head writer discussing what's on screen is totally on-topic.
