It's Only My Opinion: You know I hate how GH churns through plot with no emotional setup or fallout. And you know I hated that sitcommy chimp. But WOW, was Robert Scorpio's return excellent!
The premise of Luke bringing home the virus from the fake island worked because Luke is always doing stuff like that. GH even poked fun at themselves when Georgie and Dillon asked Robin to X-ray the shrunken head Luke sent as a clue. "Oh, Luke," said Robin, knowingly, no more information necessary.
As the infection spread, here came Robert to spy on them and then save the day. Tristan Rogers and Tony Geary picked up on the old chemistry instantly, like no time had passed since their last sarcastic exchange. When Robert considered that Luke might have the antibodies that could squash the virus, Luke nodded: "No germ could live in this petri dish I call a liver." Robert also had heated exchanges with Robin and Mac, who were right to be angry, but still couldn't help being a little happy that the old dog was alive. I especially enjoyed Mac punching Robert just like he did when he first met him on the pier in 1991- but wouldn't it have been fun if Robert had typed in the password ICE PRINCESS when he was hacking into the hospital computer?
If you had told me I'd be watching scenes between Robert Scorpio and Noah Drake this year, I would have said, "Excellent- is SoapNet doing a marathon?" February Sweeps was a big payoff for 30 years of watching GH. Thank you.
I have a few quibbles, of course. There's a giant hole where Felicia Jones (and Kristina Wagner) should be, especially when Mac brings up Frisco Jones's name to Robert. (excerpt from Carolyn Hinsey's article, SOD 2/28/06)

Thumbs Up! Medical History: Hats off to the GH writers for rejuvenating the show with a dose of history. The shift began with the returns of Robin Scorpio and Noah Drake. Now, fan faves Robert and Holly have checked back in, too.
GH hasn't just brought back familiar faces, they've smartly woven them into story. Reviving Robin and Carly's feud has helped Robin ease back into the fold and is much fresher than the obvious choice of launching into a triangle with Jason and Sam. It's so bolstering Laura Wright's transition as recast Carly.
Former dreamboat Noah's return is poignant because the years have not been kind to him: He's battling alcoholism, struggling to connect with son Patrick and has a healthy amount of backstory potential. Now, GH is spinning a tale of "epidemic" proportions, which longtime fans are sure to find reminiscent of the life-threatening Lassa Fever outbreak of '79. This therapeutic blend of old and new is just what the doctor ordered. (SOD 2/21/06)

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
There might have been a few posts as you remember, but there were a lot of posts and comments about the chemistry between Robert and Holly, especially in the live threads!
Prove it! LOL Even the press at the time was asking WHERE IS FINOLA? instead.
Finola, Tristan and Kimberly also got their own Soap Talk that May!

oh please...others hear remember it too. Does it bother you sooo much to admit other people saw chemistry because you don't want it to have happened?
There were lots of posters on SOC commenting on R&H chemistry too and those were relatively newbies over there.

that's because they had to shoehorn Anna into the story at the last minute. She was a last minute addition to the story
Shoe horn that made the entire story bearable to watch, thank god she came back. If you really were in the know and actually knew anything you'd know they had approached Finola from December 2005 to do GH and they couldn't work things out till that May. But keep thinking what you want I'm good. LOL
Jane Elliot seemed to feel the story was totally changed to add Anna. But you know, she probably wasn't "in the know."

Because she knew the story was changed. She was heavily part of TG's pitch story.

All I saw were posters commenting on ES's acting and why Finola wasn't brought on. If posters were commenting on chemistry they were from the R&H fans but once they realized Robert was putting Holly away they got so mad at him they took his pic down off their R&H message board and replaced it with one of Duke! :lmfao: Wish I had done a screen capture that day, it would have been a keeper!
Hilarious! What did they do when they found out Luke was Holly's baby daddy?

Really and where is Finola going that they'd through her a party? To do her movie in Scotland then back in 6 weeks. Some wannabe insiders are so easy posting this making people think Finola is gone when she isn't. If they really threw a farewell party for Finola on Friday the Soap bloggers would be all over it and they are not.
