Just what the Doctor ordered

Some people around Port Charles today are getting just what the doctor ordered even if they don't realize it yet.

Robin and Patrick are realizing how lucky they are to be back together and that crazy Dr Lisa was just a symptom that they had problems.  They are working on their marriage and that is just what the doctor ordered for them. 

Brenda is realizing that no matter what you do as a parent you don't always have all the answers.  She is desperate to find Lucian but lashing out at Sonny who had NOTHING to do with this isn't the way to do it. I think she is realizing this is a test run of how life will be like being married to a Kingpin.  She will always need to have her guard up.  Of course I think what the doctor ordered for Brenda is a bunch of drugs to make her stop screeching and for us who had to watch those scenes some cotton for our ears.  

When Anthony Zacarra made his debut on GH - I was on my GH break so I never got to see him much.  I knew he was crazy and strapped a bomb to Claudia on a roof top once...father of the year there...but other then that I didn't watch him much.  He was pretty much off the canvass by the time I returned to GH in mid 2009.  I know I missed out on some of GH's characters during my break but I have to say, I am enjoying Anthony's return so far.  Oh he is a crazy one but at leas the is also funny too.  I mean him and his plants - it's hilarious.  The scenes today between Johnny and Anthony were classic.  Their squabble about the house plant having root rout and Johnny saying that house plant isn't going to whack them in the middle of the night but Cronenthos might was well put.  Johnny hates his father and loves him a little too.  It's complicated for sure but what is entertaining is that I think Anothony just might remind Johnny that being in the business isn't where he wants to be.  I know Johnny is trying to save Lisa from herself but I think Johnny needs a little saving too and this might just be what the dr ordered.

Sam is struggling right now.  I don't think Maxie had any right to come in and voice her opinion about the procedure and parenthood to Jason or Sam.  Maxie a good friend most of the time but this time it wasn't her place.  She was right about one thing though, Sam would do anything to help Jason through his grief.  But right now Jason needs to step back and see Sam needs him.  She's a bit terrified of this procedure, if Jason is having second thoughts and she needs his support.  Today I was so glad to see they talked a little about this.  The night after Jake died, Jason told Sam he wanted to leave and never come back, we saw then how much that hurt her.  But what we saw today was that she is still hurt by that and the fact Jason has been pulling away from her.  Instead of them both starting to hide the truth and not talk - today they talked which is good because that is something they didn't do in 2007 when things began to fall apart. Today Jason really actually listened to Sam.  He listened to the fact she is very insecure about this procedure but that insecurity exists on many levels.  She's afraid if it works - then they have to chose if they want to have a child together and all the risk that comes along with that.  She's also afraid if it doesn't work of being so devastated it will be like losing her child all over again and she's worried about the affect that will have on Jason.  She is also a little afraid that one day Jason's grief will get the best of him and he will just leave forever leaving her.  Today Jason listened to all of this and so much that wasn't spoken.  He finally took time to step away from his own grief, his constant stress about Michael and actually heard her and reassured her and THAT is just what the doctor ordered for Sam.  I am so glad Jason did that for her.  Finally he did something for her now lets just wait and see if he actually keeps this up and remembers her birthday.
