I Couldn't Save Her

Today's episode of GH was so sad, it took me a long time to actually write about it.  If you watched today's episode of GH without crying you are one tough cookie.  Today was a tough episode to watch but I watched it.  Everyone should watch though because the acting talent has been Emmy award material. 

Today I was devastated as I watch Patrick tell Anna that Robin was gone.  Anna's reaction to hear her child (her only child) has been killed in an explosion was gut wrenching.  In those scenes I kept hearing Patrick say, "I couldn't save her.  I am so sorry, I couldn't save her. I'm sorry."  A parent should never have to deal with their child dying before them.  It is not the law of nature.  Parents are ready to go first it is in genetics.  It is how it should be.  For a parent to lose their child young or old is never right.  Anna's had years of training of how to act cool in a crisis, a skill she past on to her daughter too.  A skill little Emma will probably never get to learn from her own mother.  Anna tried today to keep it together to not completely fall apart but how can she not.  I have a feeling tomorrow when Anna has to tell Mac that is when it will really hit her. Mac - oh poor Mac.  He has already had to lose Georgie and now Robin.  This will kill Mac and he is in perfect health. This is so sad because Mac was finally starting to live again. 

Patrick is so devastated and he could not understand why Robin went back into the lab to get Jason's protocol.  Patrick can not comprehend what has happened.  Robin ran back into the lab to save Jason's protocol because Robin could not imagine a world without Jason in it.  Robin vowed to always save lives as a doctor and she had to go back in that lab.  She would not be able to live with herself if she had not tried to save that protocol.  Patrick will never understand that.  There will be a lot of things Patrick will never understand about all of this. I was half expecting Patrick to throw the vile with Jason's protocol across the room when he found it.  He is so angry I just hope he doesn't throw the medicine at Sam.  He looked like he was going to kill her today when she asked if that was Jason's medicine. 

Sam has so much pressure and stress to be dealing with this whole pregnancy.  Sam is tough but I fear this will result in something down the road for Sam's own health.  Today when Monica told Sam Jason was not going to recover she was shattered.  So when she saw Patrick standing with the vile of Jason's medicine in his hand, of course she was going to ask.  if the roles were reversed and Sam had just lost Jason but was holding in her hands the key to saving Robin's life - Patrick would do anything he could to save her.

There has been a lot of judgement thrown around today on message boards and social networks about GH today.  Mostly focused on Sam not telling Jason about Robin.  So here is my two cents about it, take it or leave it.  I believe Sam thought about telling Jason as she staggered into the room but Sam made a split decision to not tell Jason about Robin  because the second he started to ask about Robin he had head pain.  She realized in that second, she could not tell Jason that Robin had died in the blast.  Sam is aware of how close Robin and Jason are and knows what the two of them have meant to each other.  Sam has always respected that friendship but how could she tell him that Robin was killed in an explosion trying to save his life.  Sam knows this is the news that would kill Jason. How could she do that right now?  If you were in this situation would you tell your husband something when he is on his possible death bed something that would kill him? Answer: NO! no one would.   It tore Sam to pieces to tell Jason that lie but she didn't know what else to do.  

Not sure if everyone has heard but the next few weeks are critical for GH and ratings.  So please call, write, comment, tweet, facebook.  Do it all and then do it again.  KEEP IT ALL POSITIVE!!! Even if you can't stand a story line or two - KEEP YOUR FEEDBACK POSITIVE.  STOP THE NEGATIVITY!  It will only poison others and impact the show!
