Twist of Fate

Life Throws Robin and Patrick a Curve Ball

This week on GENERAL HOSPITAL, the tables turn when Robin tries to seduce Patrick and finds the oversexed doctor pushing her away! As a dark cloud looms over their future, will it mean the beginning of the end...or will they find out that all good things are worth waiting for?

The Waiting Game
Learning from Robin that Patrick cut himself in surgery while operating on an HIV-positive patient, Noah offers his son a few comforting words. April, the patient who'd been under the knife, finds out what happened and offers her own words of sympathy and support to teh doc.

Soon after, Noah gets some promising news from Alan: Patrick’s first HIV test came back negative...but that could change at any point during the window of opportunity for infection!

Robin Flashes Back
The situation feels all too familiar to Robin, who turns to Jason for advice and admits to fearing that history is repeating itself. "She goes straight back to the emotion of Stone's death and not really knowing what the correct thinking is," explains Kimberly McCullough. Saying that Jason was always there for her in the darkest of days, Robin asks that he help her do the same for Patrick.

Sexual Healing
Patrick later has a run-in with a former-lover who makes it clear that she'd love nothing more than to catch up on old times...while naked. But upon hearing of his HIV scare, the beauty quickly turns tail and runs.

That evening, Robin invites her beau over for dinner and offers herself up as dessert. But Patrick rebuffs her attempt at seduction and insists he is going to remain celibate until he gets a clean bill of health. With sex off the table, he beats a hasty retreat...leaving Robin feeling both dejected and rejected. "She's thrown by it," admits McCullough. "He's a very sexual being. And the fact is, he can't have sex with anybody else...or, rather, nobody else is going to have sex with him. So it's out of character for him to be so selfless!"

But before long, the doctor is once again knocking on her door, offering up an explanation for his actions, which she can not only understand but respect. The two doctors grow even closer, but can their fragile love survive the reality of their lives?
