General Hospital's Jason Thompson Chats On The Women In Patrick's Life: Sam, Sabrina, and Robin!

On General Hospital, Dr. Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson) has been put through the ringer over the last few years, mainly due to first: grieving over his presumed dead wife, then allowing himself to fall in love with another woman, only to have his wife return very much alive. After the fallout from that, and having his beloved Robin (Kimberly McCullough) back in his arms again, she up and leaves (with an ominous assist from Victor Cassadine) to go save the life of her dear friend Jason Morgan! Then, Patrick and former girlfriend Sabrina’s (Teresa Castillo) little boy tragically dies after a car “accident” that sent their vehicle off the road, which resulted in the premature birth of baby Gabriel. Sabrina then has a meltdown and heads back to Puerto Rico for some r and r.
Meanwhile, Patrick and good friend Sam (Kelly Monaco) find each other spending more time together as they try to piece together the puzzle of who put the now deceased Rafe (Jimmy Deshler) up to the accident that ran Patrick and Sabrina off the road. And it is beginning to look like these two might turn out to be more than just friends in the very near future, especially after Patrick found out and witnessed with his own eyes, that Robin is actually an hour away at the Crichton-Clark clinic doing her “research” and did not come home to her family after she disclosed to Patrick that she could not revive Jason … and that Jason is “dead”! But as fans of the series know… Robin lied to protect Patrick, and now Patrick wants a divorce. Oh, the tangled web!
On-Air On-Soaps caught up with Jason Thompson at last week’s GHFCW 2014 to get his thoughts on where Patrick is at with the women in his life, what he would like to see happen for Dr. Drake in the romance department, and if it’s time for the good doc to just go back to his philandering ways. Here’s what Mr. T had to say!
So what do you think about where things are headed in the relationship between Patrick and Sam … and getting the opportunity to work a lot more with Kelly Monaco (Sam)?

JASON: I think on paper it makes a lot of sense. They both have been through similar things. They are both single parents right now, and they both know what it feels like to lose somebody. Obviously, there is a big secret that Patrick is holding and we will see how that unfolds. And then personally, Kelly Monaco and I have known each other for a really long time now. We haven’t worked a lot together, but we have here, and there, on some things. But to actually get to do something together, I think we are both looking forward to it. I think we can hopefully use our real-life friendship, and the ins and outs that we know of each other, to kind of bring to the characters a little bit.
Would you be all for a romance between Patrick and Sam?
JASON: I mean, romance can mean a lot of things. I don’t know if Patrick is ready for a relationship yet. There is a part of Patrick that from the beginning wasn’t trying to be in a committed relationship, and that has been gone for a long time, because Patrick was in a committed relationship. But if you look back on it, and he lays there at night going, “How well has this really worked out? I have a beautiful daughter, but other than that, I have been through hell in a lot of ways. I don’t want to lose that again. Once we did get it back (referring to Patrick and Robin) I thought we had it back, and now it’s gone again.” So, I don’t know what romance might mean. But, I don’t think it’s so far away that the guy wants to be wanted again, by somebody. Sabrina was there, and that’s still evolving too.
Do you think Patrick and Sabrina (Teresa Castillo) might find a way back to each other after all that happened between them? And would you even want that for Patrick?
Courtesy/ABC
JASON: I don’t know. I think there is a way back for him, but I don’t know if there is a way back for her, and as a character and as a strong woman. I don’t know if it would work for Sabrina to come to Patrick. I think she should evolve on her own to a certain extent and find somebody, because Patrick kind of played with her quite a bit. And now Patrick has to tell her he is getting divorced again. So now it’s all of that, and what they could have had. Now it’s gone again. I think Patrick and Sabrina have a lot of water under the bridge, and I don’t know if it will ever work again. But, who knows? I am sure if it does, they will find a way to make it work.
Is it difficult for you as an actor with Kimberly McCullough (Robin) coming and going, and coming and going, to figure out where Patrick is coming from at certain points in the story?
JASON: Yeah … definitely! But I think GH does a good job at making it difficult on us, which I like. There are times when I don’t know what to be playing, because there is so much to be playing. But logistics-wise they have to make it work!
Do you call her up and say, “Kimberly! You are screwing up my entire career on this show!” (Laughs)
Courtesy/ABC
JASON: (Laughs) No, not at all. I love when Kimberly comes back. They will always have a history there. That is one of the things we get to play around with in our genre … that people can come back and forth, things can be rehashed and open and closed again, and never really closed. I think there is a going to be a really big part of that moving forward. But at the same time, Patrick and Robin’s relationship is changing, personally and together. I am kind of excited for that, because it’s a different time for Patrick. We will see where it goes.
And yet, Patrick has no idea that Robin is being forced against her will by Victor (Thaao Penghlis) to stay put at the Crichton-Clark clinic and continue her research to resurrect the Cassadines and Jason … otherwise his life and Emma’s are in grave danger!
JASON: Right. There is more going on with her story, too. There is more going on with Robin than Patrick knows. So as much as Patrick feels he is doing everything he can, he does not know her truth.
When the truth is revealed down the road … that just might end up pulling Patrick and Robin finally back together.
Courtesy/ABC
JASON: Exactly, or to just explain it. Things happened, and just because it’s explained doesn’t mean the feelings are still there. Things can be explained, and they can have a mutual agreement of, “Well, we both did what we needed to do, but this is not the same.” I felt like that could have been that way after Robin’s whole traumatic two years away. How could it not be after what she went through, and what Patrick went through? It doesn’t mean they don’t love each, and that they possibly could make it work in the future.
With what he believes is the knowledge that Jason Morgan is “dead”, do you think it would be out of character for Patrick to sleep with Sam? It could make the whole thing palpable for him as he believes Jason is dead. But imagine the shock when, and if, Jason should return very much alive? It would turn the Patrick/Sam/Jason/Robin story on its ear!
JASON: I think there is a part of Patrick that is figuring what is in character, and what is not in character for him. If it is out of character maybe that is a good thing – spin it, and put a wrench in the spoke, and see what happens. I don’t know if he knows what he wants right now, or what’s there, or if he will be like: “I don’t know if this is right, but I’m doing it anyway just to see what happens.” There is a recklessness to him underneath it all. I think it’s gone away a bit because of his daughter and being a father. He can’t be completely irresponsible, but Patrick was a young guy and a hot shot for awhile. He liked that and there was a reason for it, and the reason he didn’t want to get into the place he finds himself at now, because of where he is. So maybe there is a part of him that wants to go back to that old lifestyle a little bit, but obviously, he is still a single father, and that’s the most important thing to him.

And finally, what can you say about working with your cute as a button, little scene stealer of an on-screen daughter, Brooklyn Rae Silzer (Emma)?
JASON: Brooklyn did one of the very best pieces of work I have seen in long time a few weeks ago. She will break your heart and she was unbelievable. She took her acting to a whole other level. We sat and talked about it a lot and she was amazing in the scenes. It’s a two box hankie moment. She was so good in it. Everyone on set was so proud of her.
So, who do you want to see Patrick end up with romantically … Sam, Sabrina, Robin, or do you want him to not be tied into a relationship at this point in the story? What do you think about Robin telling Patrick that Jason is “dead” to protect him, and their daughter Emma? Do you think Sabrina will still want Patrick after all when she returns? And, what will happen if Sam sleeps with Patrick, only to later learn that Jason is alive? And, what about Silas (Michael Easton) in all this? Share your thoughts below!

Sabrina, but want to see Patrick earn her back.
I agree
At this point I totally agree. If Kimberly was staying on Gh, I’d say Robin. I find the coming and going ridiculous. Jason /Patrick would have no romance and be on “Hold” too much of the time with a coming and going wife. I’d like to see Sabrina become a stronger woman and for us to find out more about her, before they have a relationship. I don’t see him with Sam. She is not refined enough- too rough around the edges. But they make good friends.
While I can see your point about Sam not appearing refined enough for Patrick, keep in mind that she is a Cassadine by blood, so she does have a social pedigree, so to speak! On the other hand, I will never consider Sappy good enough for Dr. Drake….she is far too common, unsophisticated and ill-suited for a man of his standing, despite all the Cinderbrina fairytale nonsense the showrunners have imposed upon us to try to make us think otherwise.
Shay, I agree with you. I think Cinderbrina as you put it, is not a strong enough woman for Patrick. They could make her so, but so far she has no personality. She’s been up til recently an ugly duckling, and maybe therefore has a poor self concept. She needs to spend some time on herself and become a stronger more independent woman in order to be interesting enough to be of interest to people who liked the Robin/Patrick combo. Sabrina is just not, at this point, interesting. It would make an okay movie of the week, but not to… Read more »
Anyone but Sabrina is fine by me but in the end I will always want Patrick and Robin to end up together.
Nobody until his divorce is FINAL. Otherwise he’s a cheating liar!
Ahhhh….touche’, rebecca1!!!! We agree once again! I know soaps are supposed to be a hotbed of immorality and debauchery (like the so-called male “threesome” Ron C. is currently trying to foist upon us…oh yuck!) but someone needs to demonstrate a modicum of decency here! I have always had a problem with Patrick and his inability to keep his pants on, but these past few years have been especially disheartening to me. While he was still a supposedly grieving widower, Drake Jr. first fell prey to Britt and ended up with a (purported) illegitimate child, and since that worked out oh… Read more »
Apologies to both Rebecca and rebecca1 for mixing them up. That’s what happens sometimes when one multi-tasks!
Shay…not a problem. LOL…we’re all so anonymous here and yet we regular posters have created an invisible identity thru our opinions/writings, etc…So it’s weird for me when someone posts with the same name, albeit uppercase and I’m lowercase with a 1. But it’s funny, how something so silly is frustrating!
If that was the worst problem in the world…what a wonderful life it would be! 😉
So agree wit you joni
If Kimberly was staying, I’d say Robin. But I don’t want Patrick with a wife who comes to GH every once in a time for a short period of time. It’s ridiculous. You can’t have Patrick with a Robin who is never there. I understand Kim wanting to be a director and that’s fine. But you can’t have it both ways. Jason and Patarick deserve a bigger role and with Robin gone most of the time, the limits a lot what Patrick/Jason have to do.
Shay…wrote you here but my response didn’t show up.
Rebecca is someone else.
I’m rebecca1.
rebecca1…I received your response! That’s how I first realized my mistake. I promise to be more observant as to which “Rebecca” I’m concurring with in the future! P.S. Whatta you mean, I “joyfully thought we were once again oddly in agreement?” It’s not as if it happens THAT rarely….LOL. ; )
Poor, Poor Patrick. GMAFB. Robin is being held against her will and he is pouting. Too bad. If I remember correctly, THE CHEATER himself marriage is hard work but you fight for it. He just can’t fight for it himself. Robin has to do all the heavy lifting. This is not the Patrick Drake I know. This is the all about me Patrick Drake. Disgusting.
Word!
Did you some how forget that this is a television show and not real life? Let me remind you, Robin left Patrick and Emma to go and help Jason.
Yes she went to save jason but she was already in a bind. Having to live with killing him if she didn’t. It was safer if she kept it quiet and nobody knew. I can’t see why nobody sees that
I see it, July and completely agree. There was no way she could stay with Patrick and Emma and leave Jason to die. THAT would have been more out of character for her…and I don’t see how she’d live with herself if she had. As for Patrick…I can also see why he’s done. Yes she came back And yes he accepted that she left, albeit begrudgingly. But when she didn’t come back for the death of his son…just for the funeral, when he needed her most was yet another blow. When he finally, accidentally found her, and to his mind… Read more »
I am a Stelly/JaSam fan to the core. That being said, I am pleasantly surprised at the very natural chemistry I’m seeing between Jason T & Kelly Monaco! I think if they grow the relationship in the same natural, organic manner they allowed JaSam to grow, Samtrick could develop into one of GH’s/Daytime’s Super Couples! There will never be another JaSam…even if they do recast the role of Jason Morgan. With Samtrick, I feel we’ll be getting the next best thing!
I so AGREE!!!
Yes!!!!! I also AGREE
More like another forced pairings nothing natural about them.
OMG, you took the words right out of my mouth. No one could have said it better. Very well put. I just love watching Sam/Patrick – Kelly/Jason develope and grow together. They are both so talented, and have such a natural chemistry, I really hope they end up being a super couple, because they just fit. I really would love to see them get a real shot at being together, because as far as I’m concerned, there is no JaSam without Steve, and if they try to make them, it’s just going to be depressing. And can I just say,… Read more »
Thanks Michael for another great interview. Love Jason on GH. I can so understand why he wants to stay and why GH wants him to stay. I don’t mind Kim coming back and forth or if Robin is ultimately recast. I agree with Patrick’s anger, especially for what he knows about the situation. I would love to watch Robin come back full time and deal with the fallout from her actions. To watch Patrick and Robin circle each other again and gain that love and trust…it would be exciting to mine that. I grew up watching Robin and I don’t… Read more »
Patrick belongs with Robin. Robin belongs with Patrick. Sorry to disagree with one of my favorite performers, but GH has done a horrible job with writing for Patrick since Kimberly left and even worse when she returns! Really…Patrick cannot figure out something is wrong? Patrick never searched for her, even though 1/2 of the town, including his in laws, have been “dead” at least once! Patrick had to choose between Sabrina & Robin? Bullshit. Robin doesn’t trust Patrick enough to tell him the truth? He isn’t fighting for them? He cares more about his child died than what Robin went… Read more »
I agree!
ITA!
RC did not create these characters and his ego like so many other writers will not allow him to do the obvious sit down research the character. I read frustration in this interview but it is a steady paycheck so he goes with it. Not the least bit interested in him being paired with Sam have never been a fan of the character.
I’m just seeing this interview and I totally agree. I didn’t watch it when Victor Cassadine showed up in Robin and Patrick’s living room because I knew nothing good would come of it so I actually stopped watching until I heard Jason Thompson was leaving.. Because every time I would check in, I would see the writers were destroying the character of Patrick. He was cold and unfeeling… like when he told Sabrina how the car was really ran off the road, or when he got so angry at Sam being confused about Jason coming back, when he did the… Read more »
Meant to write, ” he cares more about HOW his child was killed than how Robin survived 2 yrs in captivity.”
And he should care more about his child than Robin . Robin left him and Emma to go save Jason Morgan. Patrick needs to get rid of Robin and move on with his life.
Not willingly . She felt her family was protected more if she went to save jason rather than having to love the rest of her life knowing she killed him. Sorry, the woman was in a bind for the get go. Totally agree robin 100%. That’s why sabrina doesn’t even deserve him because he didn’t care about her or the baby when robin came back and left
Robin didn’t leave him willingly. He never cared about the baby and Robin made him stay behind for the baby. He wanted to go with her and Emma.
So true!
I think it so hard love robin and Sabrina .itstime that writers write something nice for patrickand Emma. Sabrina
ROBIN is EMMA s MOTHER NOT some PROPPED NURSE.
Nice Cathy!!! Totally agree.
Team #Samtrick !!!!
Actually, Patrick should not end up with any of these women. He should cut the cord and make a fresh start. BTW, does Sam ever take care of her kid? She will will bore Patrick to death just with her voice. Plus she has zero personality. Sabrina (not Theresa…I love Theresa) is too wishy-washy. And, Robin cannot be depended upon…she’s a flight risk…lol Now, Jason is not dead…Billy Miller will emerge from that freezing bodies contraption. This was all a test by orders of Victor to see if his creepy relatives could be brought back to life. So, Levi is… Read more »
When Levi smiles he looks how i thought a sinister Mr. Marbles would look if he came to life…creepy…lol…Victor will probably alter Jasons face(to explain why he looks like Billy Miller) and Jason will have no memory of his previous life…he’ll be given a new name and Victors will use him to try to revive Stravos and Helene…in the fall Robin returns and will try to get Jason to remember who he is…he does think Robin looks familiar…Robin and NuJason escape Victor and show up in PC but Patrick and Sam are now an item…Sam and NuJason run into each… Read more »
Ok, jimh. Sounds good to me. Makes perfect sense. I’m serious. What you say turns out to be fact, anyway. I predicted that Nathan and Levi are brothers yesterday. Maybe? But, if you’re thinking the same thing, then, they probably are.
My reply to you yesterday about the Victor/Levi connection did not appear for some reason as well as another one today…i think i turned off computer too soon…me bad…but we are on the same page with Levi and Nathan as brothers…good verses evil!!!
Id like to see Patrick with a different Robin…Robin Christopher that is, who played Skye Chandler…Robin may be around a decade older than Jason…no big deal to me…Patrick and Skye would be a lot hotter together and more alive than that ‘putmetosleep’ Sam Morgan…a rock just laying on the ground could act better than her and be more exciting…lol
I like the idea of Carly. I know it’s so far out there but when patrick was trying to get robin he and Carly were hot!!! He probably wouldn’t since she hates robin and as much as he is so angry with robin I can’t see him doing that to her. I would love to see it though
I am a huge Patrick and Sabrina fan I think the writers need to give this couple a second chance . I think there is a lot of love between these two that can make them a super couple if allowed to become a couple again TEAM PATRINA!!!!
I am tired of people saying oh Patrick needs to stand by Robin and that is BS. Robin left her family after being presumed dead for 2 years than to leave them to save Jason Morgan.If Robin is being held agaist her will and when it all comes out so what Patrick still doesn’t need to be wih her she has caused to much pain in Patrick life these last couple of months. I love Patrick with Sabrina but I am also enjoying Samtrick . I would rather Patrick with Sabrina or Sam any time compared to Robin and besides… Read more »
Patrick and sabrina have no chemistry together. Boring. He treated her like crap too. Why would anyone want to be treated that wat.She acts like a lovesick teenager when around him. I like era when she is around Carlos. Not necessarily around Carlos but the feistiness, and backbone. She needs more of that to come out. Sabrina and patrick have gone thought a lot together but I think they should remain friends . Patience needs to be single dad for a while and get his life back together. Sabrina as well. Both should be with new people. Dee dee…did patrick… Read more »
Patrick and Disney Princess had more than a chance and were given everything with no angst they failed and still do . Robin and Patrick have rich history not a propped couple. Robin and Patrick are kept from each other by villains . Scrubs deserve to be happy and get their HEA.
Love it Cathy!! Patrick and robin I think or at least hope will find each other again. They are the it couple. It doesn’t matter whom they pair patrick up with he will always have robin in his heart.
Why on earth would anyone want Sabrina to be with Patrick. He never put her first. She, along with the whole town, shoved her on him. It was always Robin he wanted. That was abundantly clear. He was ready to walk away from her and her child to be with Robin. I wish the writers would leave Robin alone. I am sick to death of them keeping her alive to get screwed over again and again. Once again, she gets to be shown in captivity while once again he moves on. Vomit RON Vomit.
So agree Linda. He treated sabrina like crap and she was always number 2.
They (writers) are making robin look stupid. It’s insulting to long time viewers who know her. I’m not a robin fan as I am a patrick and robin fan. They brought out the best in each other along with all the stupid stuff. I get why they have to do this to them but they could have done this so much different and kept her character intact.
Love this interview. Hoping Patrick and Sabrina their way back to each other.
I agree Lara I hope they get back together again.
I would love for Patrick to be with Sabrina but not right a way she is just coming back and she will have a lot to think a about after learn what happen to their son but I would love a storyline that their son was not dead but someone has him that it a person that want to hurt both Patrick and Sabrina not so they can keep Robin in line so she can do her work I don’t like the storyline that it all about Robin why Patrick and Sabrina and Emma and there son got hurt so… Read more »
Ugh? Why! Friends fine, but if she were smart and nota lovesick teenager why would she take him back. He treated her as a consolation prize. It would be hard to get over that. Especially the way he carried on while she was pregnant and really didn’t seem to care until the baby died. He was more like ablest friends. Felix acted more like patrick should have. I hope she comes back with a backbone and stands up to him.
I’ll keep this clean, I’d sleep with Sam, marry Sabrina, and kill Robin, respectfully!
You’re a bad boy, Timmm. Lol
Well CeeCee, if youve gone nuts you’d be perfect on GH…lmao!!!
At this time i think he’d be better off if he killed all three and find someone new…lol
I am laughing so hard, jimh, my son is looking at me funny…like ” my mommy has gone nuts”.
I kill Sam and Sabrina and reunite with my true love Robin. No one will even come close to the beautiful couple Scrubs.
What are the chances that Jason will overpower Victor? Too weak yet?
JT basically dispelled any chance of Purina ever happening again. LMAO.
I sure hope so!!
He can diddle with the sexpot while he gets over Robin, but after that I want Patrick and Sabrina. I also agree with JT about Sabrina needing to grow as a character and find someone new before anything can happen between them again and I would love to see Patrick actually needs to fight for her this time. Great article. 🙂
Agree!
No like he said there is too much water under the bridge. He didn’t treat her very well. I think they should be friends but that’s it. They both need to start new.
I agree Kim with you 100%
Patrick will never get over Robin. They are soulmates.
100% agree. Even when patrick finds someone or if he finds someone robin will always be in his heart. He might be angry at her now and stupidly will be for a while he will never get over her
Ewww, Patrick and Sabrina are repugnant together. Patrick really doesn’t seem that into her.
I don’t see Theresa lasting much longer and doubt her contract will be renewed. She has been an abysmal failure with the fans.
From your lips to the “Soap God’s” ear, Harry!!!!! How I hope you have called this one correctly!
First of all Harry, you don’t speak for all fans. You speak for yourself. There are many who love Teresa and the character of Sabrina. Also, why bring her back at all if she was such an ‘abysmal failure’ with fans? Her story was basically wrapped up when Gabriel died and she left town. Why bring her back just to write her off again? It doesn’t make sense. There’s a story to tell for her. Whether it leads her back to Patrick or not (I hope so) remains to be seen. Just don’t think you’re speaking for everyone when, in… Read more »
@Kate…..Well, we agree on one thing: Sappy’s story was basically finished when “BlanketBaby” went belly up, so why bring her back at all? I cannot imagine ANY story featuring this banal albatross of a character to be of interest when the past few years of her have been anything but!
Patrick doesn’t need a woman..
Patrick doesn’t need a woman..
Patrick doesn’t need a woman..
Let him be free!!!
why tie the poor guy to Robin, Sabrina, or Sam?
He is good on his own..let the guy breath!
stop suffocating him with a woman around his neck..
Patrick needs to snap and become a serial killer…let him knock off Robin, Sabrina and Sam…and like most PC killers he wont have to spend time in prison…lol
I like that lol
Patrick needs find his ballz and be a man.. he’s such a weak pansy guy..
Wish Patrick would show us some bad bad boy!!
Patrick = powder puff !
And Patrick and Sam is physically dumb..
If Sam took off her 7” heels (she even sleeps wearing them) Emma would be taller than her, then what?
(have to give thought to those things, ya know..
Emma needs her Daddy, jimh. However, Levi should be blamed for every murder or any other criminal activity happening in PC.
If Sam took off her heels then Emma could squish her like a bug…lol
Hey, no more short people jokes. I loooove stilettos; they make me feel tall and powerful. Lol. Seriously, as I said, GH has introduced so many unnecessary new characters for some similarly ridiculous storylines. Why not bring some new woman, someone completely off the medical world, for Patrick? Let’s get some new blood….a woman who will be an equal partner for him; someone who will be there for HIM, and, of course for Emma. There really is not a single woman on this soap who stands on her own two feet. It seems as though none of these women can… Read more »
Jason Thompson doesn’t seem pretty enthusiast about ANY of his potential pairings or even potential stories..even about the relationship with Robin..and it was the most he was interested in, involved in before..but with Kim always in and out i understand he pretty lost his passion and interest for the relationship..Maybe they need to bring a new gal for him, a fresh story or i don’t know he could try something else than soaps..I don’t understand why he doesn’t try prime time, other type of mediums..he is still young, he can make it..i don’t know.. I am not interested by Patrick’s… Read more »
I was thinking that to juju.
Maybe its time for his exit on the show.
Maybe patrick but it doesn’t seem like jason wants to go yet. If not exit permanantly then a least for a little while so they can write patrick getting his life back together or find robin 🙂
Robin needs to go, away, so sick of this annoying whiny character, Patrick and Emma and Sabrina for the win…..#Patrina
Sabrina isn’t whiny? She’s worse when she’s aprons him. She’s getting a bad storyline that’s why people are get tried tired of her. Not her fault. I’m not a robin. Fan, but do like her at times. I do t mind that she comes and goes she adds a little so,methu g to the story.
It it’s one thing Robin does NOT do, is whine. I am not a fan, I can take her or leave her, but she is not annoying. Not much of a mother, (whatever the circumstances, so, I’ll shut my mouth about that ) but her persona does not irk me as much as Sam’s. At least, Robin has the warranted inflection to her voice.
Honestly Patrick has become one of the most boring/unlikable characters on the show. I don’t care either way what they do with his character anymore or who they put him with. Robin being destroyed by Ron in order to allow this guy to ‘move on’ pretty much shows what a flop the character has become under RC/FV.
100% agree! Could have not said it better. Patrick has turned into a bitter, weak and gullible man. Y
You’d think he was the one who was tortured for 2 years instead of Robin. Patrick is unrecognizable these days!
Patrick was always boring until he met Sabrina Santiago. When Patrick was with Robin I thought he was boring scrubs were boring . But then he met Sabrina than I started liking the character of Patrick Drake. Although I love Patrina I am enjoying Samtrick .
Really Patrick and robin boring??? I do t think so. They challenged each other and brought the good and bad in each other. They had ups and downs highs and lows but that a marriage. All sabrina did was go all teenage lovesick school girl over him. She pined for him. That was boring . There was no spark between them. She did everything for him To notice her. He turned around and treated her badly. I like sabrina but not with him.
It’s unfortunate he has. They ruined a perfectly great couple. They could have written robin another direction or wrote them in a different direction. He doesn’t have to be with anyone while his wife is away. He was a doctor , and father. Write stories on that instead of ruuing a lifelong character and popular couple,
I really don’t want to see Sam with Patrick. ..she and Silas must be endgame! Furthermore, I think Patrick and Sabrina should find there way back to one another. I was a huge advocate of Robin and Patrick until she walked out this last time.
Agree 100%
IMO, JT is always PC in all of his interviews. Patrick absolutely has 0 chemistry with Sabrina and I would be surprised if they went down that route again. With Sam, I see Patrick a bit more alive but he definitely had the most natural chemistry with Robin. Patrick and Robin created magic for 6 years together on screen while never be paired with anyone else albeit Patrick’s one nighter with Lisa Niles and his ladies’ man days at the beginning . Their relationship had a natural and realistic progression that one in the “real” world could relate with. They… Read more »
Patrick, Robin , and Emma belong together. And out of Port Charles before they are destroyed even more.
I so agree!
Give Scrubs their HEA and let JT comes back as someone new not ruin Robin, Patrick and Scrubs. This regime ruined too many couples and characters. Enough is enough.
ohh geez c’mon..
Patrick and /robin are all that much..
there are other soaps couples much more intriguing and loved than Robin and Patrick..
Patrick was cool, way cool.. then Robin came alone and pussyfied him ..
Really they are not a god like couple they are just ordinary as far as long time together soap couples go, and there are many better than those 2 ..
Robin did not pussyfied him. He was just as crazy as she was. He brought her down to reality when she got totally nuts on things as did she did for him. They brought out the best in each other. They were like what a real life marriage should be. They both had their issues but dealt with them together. They were one of the better more realistic couples on daytime these days. I hope that when patrick decides to leave port Charles it will either with robin or to go and be with robin or if KM decides to… Read more »
Sabrina can get her own family. Robin is Emma s mother no matter how bad the haters say she doesn’t deserve to be. LOL. Will never change the fact that Disney will never be her mommy.
There goes that ‘haters’ word again. NO ONE HATES ANYBODY. It seems to me you use that word too loosely. Ca you not use the word ‘dislike’? We all love our soaps, at the same time, we also all have an opinion and a brain. This is why we have evolved to homo Sapiens.
Patrick and Monica?
If anything, Kimberly helped his career. If truth be known, Kimberly gave him his most successful pairing ever Scrubs. They made Supercouple status. I remember doctors, nurses and lawyers watched GH for Scrubs. They got their own Primetime show NS1 & 2 because people couldn’t get enough of them on GH which was mob central. As for Patrick and UGLY Betty all I can say is thank God that is over. What a contrived bunch of garbage, they used Robin to make her accepted and it worked until people got wise. Wasting time on a ridiculous propped pet and the… Read more »
Great post–and Cathy? Is it me? Or did Sabrina seem more likable with the glasses?
It must be you, Harry. Sappy was NEVER likeable, with or without those coke-bottle lenses! The only thing that has even made her bearable is her current state of complete absence!
ITA Cathy!!! I hope the writers and producers see this. I’m not a robin fan or patrick fan when they are by themselves but when they are together I love them.
Another thing never thought I would miss Guza but at least he knew GH unlike this regime.
Nice, he would of let this happen
Guza started the masterpiece Ron is the future of the masterpiece.
I love the idea of Patrick and Sam… and then Jason comes back!! But I want Jason and Sam back together…. but until then I’m loving Sam and Patrick. I think Sam and Jason are soul-mates and there is such rich history there, they just have to be together, their love story is epic. I think the love of Patrick’s life is Robin.. it breaks my heart what has happened between them. I can see Patrick staying single for awhile and dating…. then after awhile he finds someone who is really special to him. But I am heart-broken over Patrick… Read more »
I agree GHfan. I think it maybe hard for patrick to love someone like that again. He will probably find someone but his heart and soul will always be with robin and his with her. Just hope either she comes back full time or more frequently and they find their way back to each other or when patrick leaves PC it will with her or to be with her. I hate what the writers did, not so much divorcing them which sucks but the way they did it. There were other ways without ruining the character(s).
What is missing from the relationships available to Patrick is a smart, challenging woman. The best work and most entertaining story came from the push and pull, quick banter and challenge between Kimberly M and Jason T. I think that is why so many people did not like Sabrina with Patrick. She was a meek and mousy character, and although she was sweet with Emma, there was no reason for Patrick to be attracted to her. She had no snap, no fire, no independence, and their whole relationship was based on sympathy and him feeling sorry for her, and from… Read more »
more than Kimberly giving Jason something to work with, I feel she really upped his game over their first 6 years on the show together. she’s always been a great actress. he was wet behind the ears when he joined: all bravado and posturing. but their chemistry and connection was there and i literally watched jason become a better actor… an actor worthy of kimberly mccullough. then i saw him with teresa castillo and i realized a lot of his strength was limited to scenes with kimberly. just my 2 cents.
I loved JaSam but Steve’s not coming back so I’m on board with SamTrick. Scrubs can’t be a couple if Robin isn’t staying on the show.
honestly, who cares?? patrick has become a boring character without robin. robin, on the other hand, has tons of history and is ties to legacy characters. never thought i’d say this, but i’m done with patrick.
I get what you said in your reply to my thoughts above, but do you not think that JT is in need of a decent acting partner. I agree that Kimberly is the stronger actor, obviously, but I do think Jason grew and improved to become a solid actor over time. Weak storylines and meek actresses are going to limit what an actor can create in a scene. The character of Sabrina is wooden, and the character of Sam is just boring and monotonous to watch. If Robin is not an option, then I still say there is room to… Read more »
I hate Sam and I hate Sabrina. I’ve just hated Sam longer. I don’t want to see Patrick with either one of them. I was holding out for Patrick/Liz but if’s going to snog with Sam no thank you. I don’t even understand why Sam is popular. She’s like watching paint dry; no personality whatsoever. They have to dress her like a sleaze to even get her noticed. Let her be with that bore Silas cause it’s easier to fast forward through her scenes.
I absolutely cannot stand Patrick and Sabrina together. They have zero chemistry and just seem like a completely unnatural fit. They make nonsense together. With her, Patrick is completely boring, and it’s a waste of Jason Thompson’s incredible acting potential. Simply transforming Sabrina from a nerd to Cinderella doesn’t change the fact that they’re as boring as vanilla ice cream together. I love Patrick and Robin together, but if that can’t happen right now, give him someone completely unexpected, someone who ups his game, makes him crazy – in a bad and good way! Or, let him explore dating life… Read more »
I would love to see Patrick and Sam together! I think they would be really cute together, plus they need to spice up Sam’s life….. She’s doll and boring! Cheers
I agree that Ron should allow Patrick and Sam to explore life together as couple, Sam is down to earth and real that what Patrick and Emma need just as well as Sam and Danny from Patrick and Emma.
I would love to see Patrick and Robin together again. Emma has been thru too many emotional things. She needs stability. Jason and Sam would not be complete without each other. I’d love to see them together as a family. Silas was too wishy washy. Nicholas and Elizabeth better paired. I’d love to see Morgan and Britt get together. Love GH drama but Cassidine showing again is not interesting.
ROBIN
I want Patrick and Sam together. This new Jason is not her match
Patrick should be with Robin. They are the best couple in daytime.
But if Patrick can’t be with Robin, then I’m fine with Sabrina or Britt.
Sam should be with Silas.
Patrick and Robin are not the best couple in daytime Sami and Ej are through and through and true.
Patrick should definitely end up with Robin. He still loves her and their lovely Emma needs real happiness and stability.That poor little girl has been through enough. Not everyone in Port Charles has to have their family torn apart. Someone needs to have a normal life with just occasion little problems. Your writers are getting psychotic with their story lines.
Patrick should allow himself along with Emma to enjoy the adventure of life and stop dissecting it like Robin does they should give themselves a chance to be happy with Sam and Danny. There is so much potential if that happens.
Get a clue fans Sam / Patrick Kelly / Jason are Amazing they make the show like “A Breath of Fresh Air I look forward to seeing what next. Their chemistry is mind blowing they remind of a Super Couple I adore James / Allison. Ron give us mystery and intrigue keep us on our toes. Sam /Kelly is a Beautiful and Talent actor her character has blossom into a masterpiece in the Soap Opera world. Jason /Patrick is Sexy and Talented just saying Breath Taking. General Hospital is one of my Favorite Soap the show is “Hot”, Ron and… Read more »
FYI Sam and Patrick and everyone else is doing a an amazing job I love being on the edge of my seat everyday at 3:00 M-F the near future keep me interested. All the actors are remarkable doing it just right not knowing how they are going to act from one minute to the next is exciting like spending time exploring someone you like.
Sam would learn a lot from Patrick raising Emma and Patrick would learn a lot from Sam raising Danny they posses so much love and knowledge for both kids I believe they can bring so to the table together.
I want to see patrick with robin I stopped looking at gh because you keep breaking up all the greats like frisco and felicia luke and laura sonny and brenda and now patrick and robin I would like to see them raise emma together

GH’s Parry Shen Delivers the ‘Power Performance of the Week’
How many of us have lost, or had to say goodbye to our best friend? Somehow fate or illness intervenes and cuts short someone you share so many memories with.
On last Thursday’s episode of General Hospital, Dr. Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) family and friends gathered for her memorial at the GH chapel. However, viewers knew of the special connection between Britt and her bestie, Brad Cooper (Parry Shen).

Devastated at losing Britt, upset that she never told him she about her diagnosis with Huntington’s Disease, and mourning her death, Brad comes to her former office, where Britt was the Co-Chief of Staff at the hospital. After exchanging heartfelt moments with Britt’s mother, the grieving Liesl (Kathleen Gati), and Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner), Brad (with a paper bag in hand) spends some time alone in Britt’s former office, which has now been cleaned out.
Next, Brad takes out a carton of ice cream (for those who know the back-story, Britt and Brad would sit together each with ice cream and watch the red carpet at the Nurses’ Ball on TV and hoot and howl at the residents of Port Charles), and thus begins a very emotional and five-hankie moment, where Brad recalls all the key moments in their friendship.
Parry Shen was so touching in this scene, that if you have been a fans of Britt and Brad’s friendship, we are sure you shed some tears.
Later, during the memorial, Brad is pained listening to the others eulogize Britt, and when it is his turn to speak, he does his best to get through it and pay homage to his best friend.
We will miss the Brad and Britt friendship as will many GH viewers for it was one-of-a-kind on the soaps – two originally, not so nice people, doing bad things and finding common ground with each other, and eventually turning their lives around and being there to support each other.
For all of these scenes mentioned above, Michael Fairman TV names Parry Shen’s work, the Power Performance of the Week. You can check out a clip featuring Shen below.
Now, let us know, what did you think of Parry’s Performance during Britt’s memorial episode? Comment below.

Adam Huss Back to GH as Nikolas Cassadine
With Marcus Coloma’s last appearance as Nikolas Cassadine on last week’s January 26th episode of General Hospital, the soap opera brought back Adam Huss to finish out the dark prince’s storyline.
According to Soaps.com. Huss aired today on the January 31st episode of the ABC daytime drama series and will finish out the scenes that were written to be portrayed by Coloma.
Adam previously subbed for Coloma back in September 2021 and again in November 2022.

After it was announced that Coloma was leaving GH, the network and the series agreed that it would be best that Marcus did come in to tape his last episodes since he was recovering from Covid-19 at the time. Thus, we are seeing those episodes featuring Huss now airing in early February.
So, glad to see Adam back to wrap Nikolas’ current storyline? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
