I am by no means a devoted Scrubs fan. I'm not overly crazy about either Patrick (Jason Thompson's another story!) or Robin as individuals. They can be fun, but most of the time for me, they are just two other characters. It's not the actors. It's the stories they're given. Which leads me to my gripe. Does anyone else see how obvious, contrived & poorly written this drivel is with Lisa, the female Patrick, who plops down in little town Port Charles of all the big name hospitals a hotshot like her could go to? She sends her girlfriend there to do recon to see how Patrick feels about the good old days & five minutes later she leaves what's supposedly a hopping career at a big well known hospital to go to Port Charles General & Patrick isn't the least bit suspicious of her reasons for being there? This ignorance from the guy who knows when women want him?
Then, after seeing alittle bit of his life, she zeroes in on, of all men, Patrick's little brother, with whom Patrick shares a good natured rivalry. Hmm! Purely coincidental.
The list of obvious ploys goes on & on & neither one has caught on to it. Robin knows her five minutes & is spilling her guts to her about everything. With all her experience with Carly, she can't tell when a woman's after her man?
Now, not only is Patrick accusing Robin of sabotaging that woman, he's sticking up for her when she's wrong. I hope by putting his a** on the line for her, that it bites him in the backside when the next mess hits.
I realize it's hard for THESE writers to keep happy soap couples lives interesting to the viewers, but we're still feeling the afteraffects of another psychotic woman. Let us have a breath before we have to deal with another one, a doctor no less.
I think I saw Lisa 1 in a comercial for a new show coming up. This just irritates me. I'd be less irritated if there wasn't a baby in the picture. And the messing with the meds? That would really irritate me. I don't have AIDS or HIV, but I do have an immune system disorder & I know how difficult it is for your body to readjust if you stop or change your medication schedule & it's even worse with HIV meds because if they're interfered with, the person has to go back to square one & find another drug cocktail that gives the same outcome. I also remember when Tony kidnapped her & wouldn't go get her meds & she nearly died of pneumonia. This is nothing to joke about or give the usual GH treatment of shrugging it off & saying "Oh well. No harm done." Besides, as I said, we're still watching the aftereffects of Claudia's reign of insanity. The show should give it a rest with the psychos for a while. She shows no signs of being any easier to watch than Claudia. Just because she's blonde doesn't mean she's Faith Roscoe or Cynthia Preston & the show can't make her do awful things & have it come off entertaining like Faith. And, no disrespect to the actress, but this character just comes off as a jealous b**ch.
I don't like any of this storyline. I am not even a "Scrubs"fan! I would rather see them all be like unstoppable as a hospital team. Know what I mean? It is just stupid and as for the rumor of Lisa messing with meds, is she really that stupid she would risk her career for a man? I don't think so. Doesn't add up to me.
After watching the way Lisa manipulated Patrick today, if it's really that easy for her to do when Robin's only gone 5 minutes, then I won't feel sorry for him if Robin dumps him. Who knows? Maybe she'll dump him for Matt or meet up with that guy from Buffalo & Patrick can have the tramp that can't get her head out of the past & accept that she's not the blow up doll of the dorm anymore. He's pathetic. He walked right into her little plot today. That one was obvious & any man would've seen it for what it was, right down to her, "Oops! Clumsy me," routine & a sensible one who loves his wife would've gone home. If she sees how easy that was, she will only push further the next time. Now, I bet her next move is to start a rumor about her & Patrick that will get to either Matt's ears, or Robin's when she returns from England. Then, she will "accidently" let things slip that make Robin wonder about her dumb husband. I'm sure she'll also set Robin up to look incompetant, as well. As I said, the show should've waited a while to bring on it's next whack job. I think maybe they misunderstood us when we said we wanted more hospital drama.
I don't mind quads and tris but not from GH they write terrible triangles yet alone a quad...they pretty much stick to the same formula with no surprises...the outcome is usually the same. The Alexis/Ric tri surprised me she kicked him to the curb and "kept him there" which women usually don't do on GH enough for me.I am a Robin fan, (don't care who she's with) and have been since she was a child so if they would give them angst coming from elsewhere...Robin's rich history on this show the daughter of two international supers spies should be enough to provide them with at least one other storyline other than a Leyla or a Lisa. She is Robert's and Anna's daughter. Yet when Anna returned once they wrote her hanging from the ceiling an Eli Love groupie....this is not what I expected when they had the Russian mob in town...they didn't even ask her a question about taking them down or their background or anything...for me its all in the pen. I'd be surprised if this offered me something different.
At least the Leyla story was moderately entertaining & she was a sympathetic character. She kept her dignity & she only acted on her crush after Robin dumped Patrick. This one has no dignity as far as I can see & I think she's going to be just another nutjob. You're right about them not writing decent love triangles. They have to make at least one person in the triangle the bad guy & someone has to be the gullible sap who falls into the bad guy's trap. This one hasn't even really gotten off the ground & we can all predict how it'll go. It may even surpass the Lucky/Liz/Nikolas mess to be the worst triangle they've done.

I totally agree. I've thought from the beginning that this was an old over used storyline. The old girlfriend shows up, two minutes later she's on staff and a part of the Scorpio-Drake family. Now she's going to try to sabotage her "friend" Robin, by undermining her and putting her in bad situations. There have even been rumors that she'll mess with Robin's meds. How low is that??? Robin needs to go all "Scorpio" on her and kick her *ss into next week. I also can't figure out why the role was recast, I don't see any difference between Lisa 1 and Lisa 2.
