Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Spinelli Says Yes

Written by Connie Phillips
Published October 25, 2007

On Wednesday's General Hospital:

Robin may have found a donor, Liz and Lucky found common ground, and Luke fears Lulu may find herself in a mob war.

In what must have been an explanation for the uber-confusing ending of Night Shift, Robin again saw a reflection of herself in a critical patient. Literally. When she realized she was hallucinating, she called Dr. Lee, who told her it wasn't uncommon for women to start questioning their mortality when trying to conceive. While it worked in the context of yesterday's show – sort of – I still think it was one of the oddest season finale endings I've ever seen, and if the writers felt they had to explain it now, it didn't work.

After the morbid little flash, her great DNA search landed her at Jason's door, to see Spinelli. The look on Jason's face as the conversation progressed made the scenes and Steve Burton deserves major kudos for expressing without words the reaction most of us have to Spin fathering Robin's baby. The question of daddy participation stayed alive as well as Jason restated the position once again after Spinelli went to have a chat with Dr. Lee about the procedure. He returned to the apartment with the surprising news that he would be more than happy to father her child.

While this provided the viewer with some precious comic relief, I seriously doubt it's going to be executed without a hitch. Besides, if what we saw on the Night Shift was any indication of how Spinelli feels about paternity, staying uninvolved is not something he will easily be able to do.

In what turned out to be quite the odd little scene, Sam showed up at Carly's wanting to see Jax. He had already left for the hotel and the two traded insults and threats, until Sam finally left. What it appeared to be on the surface, Sam trying to make Carly insecure and jealous, makes little to no sense at all. I figure she either wants Jax to call off Jerry or somehow this is some red herring or a genuine clue to Leticia's murder and the impending mob war.
