If GH had any time to spare (they're awaiting news of whether they'll be cancelled or get a year's reprieve), they might have waited longer. On the other hand, I've been remembering Lucky's "death" storyline, and I think it was written pretty identically...vast quantities of mourning, followed fairly quickly by the reveal of Lucky alive in a room.
No one truly dies in soaps... there is nearly always a way to bring them back (it was their twin, it was a patsy, they recovered, they have amnesia...).
I thought that the actress who plays Robin was squabbling with GH admin over how her character has been handled. Is that now over? I only somewhat pay attention to GH news because I was following Matt Hunter and Maxie.
She was very angry at the way the HIV storyline was sensationalized by the previous head-writer Garin Wolf...and she also said she thought Robin's death was rushed (but maybe she made those comments before she knew Robin wasn't really dead? or maybe she was just trying to throw viewers off the scent re: Robin's "death"?). She's spoken with admiration about the new GH regime (head-writer Ron Carlivati and executive producer Frank Valentini).
Oh, soapy joy. I sort of wish we had your soaps here, but I wouldn't be without Doctors, whose first storyline this week was about the new practice nurse helping a middle-aged man grieve for his former partner with the help of the man's new (seemingly younger) partner. The fact that all involved were in same-sex relationships was less important than whether or not they liked scuba-diving, or kept tropical fish, or had a fear of vaccinations.
