Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Grasping at Straws

Part of: Making the Rounds at General Hospital

Patrick tried desperately to get Robin to let him be involved in her pregnancy, while Nikolas turned to Dr. Devlin with hopes of hanging on to Emily a little longer. Sonny rejected Jason's theories about Kate's shooting, but was then forced to face the cold hard truth.

Much to Patrick's frustration, Robin was back up and around soon after Nikolas kicked her. When she insisted she was fine, Patrick asked quite loudly, in front of the nurse's station, "But what about my baby." Robin was aghast. I cheered out loud.

I know Robin has abandonment issues and this is why she's pushing Patrick away. She'd rather cut him out now than have him dump her and the baby later. However, he has evolved from a real dog who was afraid of commitment to a man in love, not only with her but now with the child. If Robin would just open her heart to that, these two could face the rocky road ahead together.

Dr. Devlin continued with his extra special personal care of Sam while Lucky watched with a jealous eye. Typical, isn't it? Lucky didn't want Sam, but now that it seems someone else might, he's rethinking that. Or is he being motivated by the knowledge that Liz has been seeing Jason on the sly? Actually, I'm more interested in what Ian sees in Sam. He has to have an ulterior motivation.

Nadine was the only one who was able to calm Nikolas down from his latest rage in the OR, but she did so by only pretending to give him a sedative. Later, in a private conversation with Ian, Nikolas agreed to take the doctor's mysterious, illegal, wonder drug. He wants more time with Emily but is not ready to leave Spencer yet. I totally get that grief can cause you to do desperate things but I would think Prince Nik would be the last one to want to take experimental drugs given it's most likely the one Jerry was shooting him up with that caused this brain tumor.

    Yes, Dr. Devlin is a good character, so far- with his drugs, hookers, moralizing. Could he run for Governor of NY?

    Possibly. And, the actor who plays him is quite good.

    Seems like the perfect candidate. Hu, Dan? If not NY, then at the very least PC. Luke Spencer was mayor of PC at one time, so almost anyone can be I think.

    I just like that he's a puzzle I can't figure out. Of course that doesn't mean it won't end up as badly as the TMK puzzle did.

    Yeah, but apparently he's the new eye candy for the ladies, unlike Diego, so they may give him a good run.
