Robin and Patrick face serious challenges ahead.


Catching Up with Brenda
Guza had the following to say in TV Guide:

 "Brenda has become a kind of international supermodel and she is now the celebrity face and goodwill ambassador of the ASEC Foundation, which is the Alliance to Save Exploited Children. Adrienne's character, Suzanne, is the director of the organization, and she and Brenda have become close friends. ASEC is based in Rome but they do work all over the place, including Africa, and we'll be playing off that."

In terms of her dislike of modeling, "[Brenda is] sucking it up and doing it for a very good cause, but here's the real downside to this new career: Her work has given her a public face and that'll put her in severe jeopardy that will ultimately involve all our heroes in Port Charles. No surprise — Brenda will come fleeing back to town and bring her troubles with her."

"Suzanne needs Brenda's involvement and participation and comes to Port Charles to protect her investment, but also to protect her friend. Only Suzanne understands the danger Brenda is in and the severity of the situation."

There is a connection to Franco that'll affect future story, but he is not the source of her problem. "But I will say this: The source of Brenda's problem is already on the canvas in a story we are currently telling...She is not romantically entangled. It's a bigger crisis than that."

"We'll find out some [of the folks in Port Charles] have been keeping secret tabs on her. She's somebody who would be in People magazine — it's that level of celebrity."

 "Robin will be in a place with Patrick where she can really use a shoulder to cry. She will need her old pal Brenda."



Regarding Michael:  Was He or Wasn't He?

Regarding the possible rape of Michael a network rep told TV Guide Magazine that the show wants viewers to make up their own minds about what's happening to Michael.  However, GH headwriter Guza now has more to say on the subject.

Guza states, "I have never confirmed that he was and I'm not about to. Our focus right now is on the horrific experience of an 18- or 19-year-old who is thrown into a terrible situation like this. I just didn't want to make the story more specific at this point. However, that's not to say that I won't be getting very specific down the line. This situation is going to rear its ugly head in a big way and Michael is going to have to deal with it. This is a story that needs to be parceled out...Look, Michael is a very good-looking young man whose father is the John Gotti of Port Charles. He's not going to spend 10 minutes in prison, much less a month, without getting unwanted attention. It would be dishonorable—and at the very least candycoating—for us not to see that through. But that doesn't mean we have to do the entire story—bam!—all at once...

The only thing that they can do right now is be a team to protect their family and see if they can get her to incriminate herself."  Regarding the Patrick/Robin alliance: "It doesn't mean she's [Robin] forgiving him by any means! There's definitely a big wall between them, but they're trying to work together."

Regarding the future of Patick and Robin, Kimberly McCullough explains in SID that,
"It should not be assumed that Robin will forgive Patrick.  Honestly, it this were me, my marriage would be over. Period. So that should at least be a possibility. Just because they are married does not mean that everything is going to be okay. Robin doesn't know what to do. She is trying to take it all in. What I would like to say to the fans is that both Jason [Thompson] and I are keeping the integrity of our characters. We're not going to be like, 'Oh it's cool you slept with Lisa. No biggie'. That's not keeping the integrity of the characters either. So if they could be a little patient and go along on the journey with us, Jason and I will both be true to everything that has happened so far."

Spinelli will be on the trail of the worker in the orange vest.

Later this fall, "How do you think Tracy is going to react when Luke drags his sorry ass through the

Quartermaine door again?"  Not well.  Luke will end up enlisting Ethan and Maya's help to try to get Tracy to talk to him. It should be a fun and poignant arc.

Later this fall, Sonny and Johnny will need to work together when they discover that they have a much bigger, nastier, fish to fry than each other. 

 We promised we wouldn't tell, was the first clue that will eventually lead to the revelation of Dante's hidden, painful past.

With Brenda's return, "Your going to see a lot of old Carly surfacing. She's not ready to let Sonny to go to just anybody.  She's not ready to let Jason's chain get jerked and she's sure as hell not ready to lose her [estranged] husband, Jax. 'Carly enraged' will be the subtitle for the next indefinite period of time." --Guza, SOD.

Look for turmoil and questionable dealings at Crimson this fall, which will end with Kate's exit at the beginning of October.  (Will anyone be surprised when Jax asks Brenda to takeover?--she will definitely be very much involved in this story)

There is a new villain coming!  Find out more in our
News .

Guza says in SID that, "Elizabeth is going to come back to kind of dramatic circumstances!. [Not the reveal] I think we'll take a little time with revealing Aiden's paternity. The idea of a Spencer being raised as a Cassadine is a pretty juicy secret. If I were Helena, I'd be saying, 'This is my crowning glory, my greatest achievement, that I've pulled this off '."


Speaking of this fall, Guza explains, "I love the idea of Johnny and Brook Lynn as kind of being Sonny and Carly" He likes that Olivia is like a mother to her young rival. "it's kind of incestuous"

Regarding Dante and Lulu, expect even more problems on the horizon. "I like this couple, but it's time their love was tested at another level...And we will test it!"

For Maxie and Spinelli apparently,
"It's not the end of the couple. It's a reinvention."  Maxie won't be happy when Spinelli puts Brenda up on a pedestal. 

Lucky gets involved with Siobhan and several others, beginning September 15th.

See our News page for more.

Stone (Michael Sutton!!!) will appear to Robin in spirit at a time when she's in great peril and in danger of giving up. Stone's going to have to give her the will to carry on. (Sept. 28th).

According to TV Guide," he’ll appear to his one-time girlfriend Robin when she finds herself in a physically perilous situation and becomes delirious. The visitation occurs at an emotionally vulnerable time for Robin — she and hubby Patrick have split up due to his liaison with Lisa. A GH rep tells TV Guide Magazine that 'Stone will give Robin the will to live, not only for herself but, more importantly, her daughter Emma.' The rep adds that the duo will also talk about their past together, and bring closure to what happened to them years ago.”

Carly is fed up with how Sonny handles situations with the people she’s closest to. She is convinced that the longer Sonny is in the equation, the more he’ll infect his children’s lives.


Look for a young woman (most likely Siobhan, see previous
News item) to facilitate a story between Luke and Lucky when Luke returns this fall.

Nikolas has a "Pretty Woman" type story coming up (starts while Liz is out of town) with Brook Lynn.

Just when Kristina thinks her nightmare is over...it isn't.  Not exactly what she hoped for on her 18th.

Expect a lot of friction between Brenda and Carly.

The African American male physician they are casting, as mentioned in our
News, is another Ward.
(In his audition script, he's flirting with Carly!)

Guza, in SOD, on Brenda's return, "if ever there was a time when Sonny Corinthos needed salvation, it's now. His ghosts and demons have systematically come back to haunt him, especially with all the stuff we've played as of late with Dante and Michael and Kristina. Sonny is in a damaged state, and what he needs right now is that which will resurrect him - and God knows, Brenda is the one to do that...we needed to get Sonny to this place where we brought him down as low as we could in order to lift him back up, and she will be a vehicle for that." 

"The other thing that's really important to stress is that she's not going to be just for Sonny. While we are positioning this story, Jason will be pivotal, and Jax will be pivotal. That's the important thing to say, but certainly at this point on the canvas, Sonny is the one who is the most needy."

"This is not the sum total of what she will be doing."

Michael makes a new friend at GH.

A remorseful, guilt ridden Patrick confides in Matt, who tells him he must be honest with Robin.

Dante begins to question whether the "apple falls far from the tree".  He becomes acutely aware of the inconsistencies and corruption within the justice systems, and can't help but compare it to Sonny's business and wondering which of the two is less honorable.  Dante may never choose the dark side, so to speak,...but will it choose him when he is stuck between a rock and a hard place?

Sam gets a hint that Johnny and Ethan are plotting something after Kristina spots Ethan with a Zacharra thug.

Nikolas comes across some interesting "documents", courtesy of Helena.

After a time, Michael will be given community service which he will serve, naturally, at GH.

But when she needs help, she will not ask Jason.

Medical errors become an issue.
