Robin Risks It All To Save Patrick...

And His Dad!

Robin stands by Patrick this week on General Hospital when she risks her career to help him save his hard drinking dad, Noah. 

It all begins with Jesse's death. "Everyone accuses Patrick of losing him on purpose so he could get Jesse's liver for his dad, Noah," sets up Kimberly McCullough (Robin). "Robin observed the surgery.  She knows Patrick did everything he could to save Jesse. She says, 'Listen, I was in there. I saw what happened. There was no foul play. Leave him alone!'"

As Noah's transplant surgery gets underway, Patrick and Robin await word of his condition. But it turns out Jesse's liver is not a match, anyway. So Patrick takes matters into his own hands and decides to be a living donor for his dad. "It's what Patrick wanted from the beginning and Robin is totally supportive," asserts Kimberly. 

So supportive that Robins forges Lainey's name on Patrick's psychiatric evaluation to expedite things. "Lainey is nowhere to be found," explains McCullough. "They're losing time, and this surgery has to happen quickly or Noah could die. So Robin says, 'I'll just sign it,' because she cares about Patrick."

Unfortunately, the surgery hits a snag when Patrick's vital signs take a turn for the worse. So it's Robin to the rescue, again. 

"She's not a surgeon, but all of a sudden she pops right in and starts barking orders at people," chuckles McCullough. "It's crunch time. Robin does what she has to do." 

Patrick and Noah survive the surgery. When Noah wakes up, he's surprised that he was given the transplant against his wishes and asks Bobbie who donated the liver.

Enter Patrick. "Robin takes him into Noah's room to help him explain what happened," says McCullough. Patrick blurts out that he was the donor. "Robin doesn't agree with how Patrick tells Noah and she doesn't agree with Noah's reaction." 

But she does have a newfound appreciation for General Hospital's own Dr. McDreamy. "They've gotten closer," concedes McCullough. "They've gone through a couple of things now - the epidemic, this thing with Noah... These experiences are helping build a relationship between them."

Not to mention romance.
