TV Review: Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Jealousy Abounds

Part of: Making the Rounds at General Hospital

Mid-week Noah noticed the brewing tension between Patrick and Robin and decided to play match maker. When Robin tried to later apologize for being harsh with him, Noah sang Patrick's praises, tried to explain the way he acts, and asked her to have one lunch with his son to see if they could work it out. Robin reluctantly agreed but qualified it with the fact Patrick would never show. The doctor then moved on to his son and after much persuasion Patrick reluctantly agreed to a lunch with Dr. Scorpio.

While waiting for their food, the couple bared their souls and admitted to missing the other terribly. Other hungers rose and the couple retired to Patrick's hotel room for a lunch of passion. As pattern dictates with these two, they were no sooner happy and something went wrong. This time it was jealous insecurities of Dr. Drake.

Other well meaning individuals — identified as Anna by Robin but I'm guessing it will turn out to be someone else, set Nikolas and Dr. Scorpio up on a dinner date. From the same mouth that had just uttered the relationship was sex with out commitments, came a sudden interest in Robin and Nikolas' history. He then countered by brining Elizabeth flowers. Lucky witnessed the exchange, and in his addicted and pain consumed state flew into a jealous rage.

In the knick of time, Carly showed up at the hospital with a predicament of her own, having just took the boys to visit Sonny and seeing his her x-husband's soft and generous side, needed a distraction to keep her from his bed. Of course, she chose Patrick and just as predictably, the young doctor was more than happy to oblige.

I've said it here before – I like Patrick and Robin. I enjoy the up and down tension. I like how each grounds the other when they take the time to talk, and how they complement each other when they are together. Both have their self assured and confident sides and both have their insecurities.

When they're good they're hot and when they're fighting… well, they're still hot. Patrick avoids love and commitment because he doesn't want to know the pain he watched his father endure when Noah lost his wife. What he has yet to figure out is his heart is already gone to her. Look for the introduction of a story line this week that will bring Patrick and Robin back together.
