Hot Topic: Robert Scorpio's Return!

 

 

Secret Agent Man
I have been waiting for Robert Scorpio's return for years, and finally it's happened!  I used to love all that spy and secret agent stuff he did, and I hope they go in that direction again.  I remember he used to have a computer room furnished by the WSB hidden under a staircase.  Wouldn't it be interesting if that room was hidden in Sonny's old penthouse all this time and he didn't know it? - Geraldine Lee

A Mac Attack?
I think it's funny that Mac and Robert are brothers and that Robert kept his Australian accent but Mac's somehow vanished.  I hope they give these two bickering brothers some air time.  After all, their relationship began as volatile and evolved into something much deeper.  Maybe this time, they can fight crime and injustice together. - Andie Abrahms

Mixed Emotions
I'm not sure whether to be happy or concerned that Robert Scorpio is back in Port Charles.  If recent history is an indicator, he'll either be a drunken, worn-out slob (a la Noah) or he'll just get tossed into a storyline to ultimately get killed off (like Rick Webber).  I hope they do Robert and his memory justice by making him the same charming good guy that he always was. - Karen Feigner

Seems Like Old Times
First Rick Springfield then Tristan Rogers.  Could I be more excited?!  I don't think so.  They're recreating the golden years at GENERAL HOSPITAL, and that's just fine by me.  Back then, the show was exciting (without bullets or bombs) and romantic (without bed-hopping or unplanned pregnancies) and made you want to escape into their world.  Please, GH, do what you can to make their stays in Port Charles much longer than these planned short stints. - Adrianne Daly

More, Please...
Six Weeks?  Is that all?  Is it negotiable?  Dangling Robert Scorpio in front of our noses, then making him hit the road again is pointless.  Give him a story.  Heck, give him two.  One with Luke and one with Robin.  But if the idea is to bring him back just to feed our need for history and nostalgia, that's a dirty, rotten shame. - Marilyn Brathwaite

Decisions, Decisions
A happy ending for Robert and Holly or a happy ending for Robert and Anna?  Oh, my.  I don't know what to wish for.  On one hand, the Luke/Holly/Robert triangle was the best in GH's history, and their story never felt completely "over."  On the other hand, who wouldn't want to see an entire Scorpio family reunion?  I'm getting the warm fuzzies just thinking about it. - Lorraine Botana

Daddy's Little Girl
One of the things that always endeared Robert to me was his relationship with Robin.  He was such a wonderful, protective father.  I can't help but wonder how much tension there will be between them, considering she thought he was dead all these years.  She had to deal with HIV alone when in reality, he was really alive to comfort her.  And for what?  His government work?  I'd be mighty peeved if I were her.  - Joanna Gonzalez

A True Supercouple
Although I'm a huge Sonny and Jason fan, their connection pales in comparison to what Luke and Robert had back in the '80s.  That was GH at its best.  They set the bar for soap opera buddies that no duo, on any soap on any network, can ever reach.  I'm looking forward to seeing those old pros showing them how to do it.  Now, if only they get the right storyline... - Laura Donna Mandler
