On Friday's General Hospital:
If you haven't been a frequent follower of the Night Shift, your head was probably spinning on Friday with the bustle of new characters and the overabundance of new sets. Since I've been a faithful follower, I was excited to see such focus back on the hospital and hoped against hope this would be an indication of where future story lines are headed.
For those of you who haven't been following, here is a quick score card. Dr Leo Julian is the cardiac surgeon who would rather be a rock star. Dr. Andy Archer is the anesthesiologist who has been helping Dr. Lee with her sex addiction, even though he himself is addicted to dosing himself with anesthetic in order to sleep. These two have become good friends. Nurse Layla was in the student nursing program until the final episode of the Night Shift, when she graduated at the top of the class. She's been a distraction for Patrick Drake during his break-up with Robin. Jolene, who is on life support, has spent the last 13 weeks in the student nursing program causing accidents and deaths around the hospital to help MedCam take control. She was shot saving Spinelli in the final episode when a gang war opened up in the ER waiting room.
On Friday's episode, these stories saw the 'light of day' for the first time and we learned Robin is still very much in love with Patrick and having a hard time letting him go, even though she knows their very different life goals make them incompatible. After a phone call with Anna was interrupted by an explosion in the background, her immediate instinct was to call Patrick for support, an instinct she didn't follow through on.
These two have been through the emotional wringer while they’ve been working the night shift, and I'd like to see them find a way back to each other, even though in order for that to happen one of them will have to change their mind about parenthood.
