I think there were several reasons why Siam didn't take off. One reason being that Silas is just a stupid character. He's a doctor, and a very boring one. He came on all monotone and unfeeling and I already didn't give a shit about him. He just should have had more personality to him. I actually liked Sam and John together because ME does great in cop mode. He looked heavier and better and seemed to at least be somewhat into that character. As Silas he just doesn't give shit and he looks terrible. He doesn't impose himself as a man, he always just looks like a feeble old woman to me. It just didn't work on so many levels.
You make some very good points. I've never been a fan of ME but I can see that a low key actor like him needs a character that is dynamic in some way, and a cop is a better fit than a doctor. There isn't much to draw on within the actor himself so the interest has to come from external sources, like gunplay and heroism based on a given dire situation.
I agree with that. The stoic silent type until a high drama situation comes along and they play the cool under pressure role.

But that's not true at least not to Robert Anna. That's only true to people who only followed Guza's story and never seen anything else. I can't except that because I saw the circumstances that too them away from their daughter. As for Robin? RC done a serious disservice to Robin having her leave her family for Jason..He should've found a better exit for her.
Robert and Anna were crap parents. As were Frisco and Felicia. Yet the Scorpios are always praised as paragons of self sacrifice, while the Joneses are vilified for doing the same thing. No wonder Robin overeats.
I guess, I imagined them being awesome, devoted parents from the time they introduced Robin Scorpio on screen til the time Finola and Tristan departed the show and R/A had to exit...I guess, I also imagined seeing Robert makes all the financial arrangement with Holly & Mac to be Robin's guardian if he and Anna didn't make it back alive..I don't see crappy parents doing that, they just would've left and to hell with their kid.

I put all of the stans in one box because they are crazy and unrealistic expectations. It may not be about this one thing but it will be about another. If you are a stans, I put you in there too.
What box do you put yourself in?
The really big one, in which it fits.

Anna ditched that little gremlin the moment she was born, and, then, after a few years of putting up with pearl doll eyes and alien abductions, faked her own death to get away from her. When Robin tracked her mother down, Anna chose to boff her way across the Valley of the Pines instead of reuniting with her daughter. Anna only thought it was safe to return to Port Charles once Robin was safely crisp fried. But the bitch won't stay dead.

Maybe because back then there were no soap messageboards, and no one trying to convince us they were great parents. We were able to take it at face value and enjoy it without some stan giving them attributes they don't have. I wouldn't give Robin's parenting habits much thought, let alone hold them against the character, if her stans weren't constantly claimimg she is better at it than she is. And it's only then that Robert and Anna get dragged in as well.

Are people here really bitching about the fans of ONE character as if all GH character or couple fanbases didn't have some truly loony, entitled asswipes in their groups? Because if any of the ones bitching about Robin fans are a fan of Liz, Carly, Sam, Alexis, Sonny, Patrick, Dante, Lulu or Tracy, the hypocrisy is off the charts. Everyone of those fanbases think their favs should own the damn show and have some truly obsessed loons representing them.

I know some Patrick fans from another board who couod benefit from some anti-psychotic medication, sadly. ^o)

:consoling

it helps if you actually watched back then but whatever makes it easier for you.
Frisco abandoned his family to join the WSB. That was onscreen.
Felicia abandoned her children to be with Frisco and follow him around the world. That was onscreen

Anna was kidnapped by Faison and had amnesia for 10 years. That was onscreen
Robert went after Anna to save her from Faison and was blackmailed into being an assassin by the WSB to save Anna and Robin's life. That was onscreen

Anna did not totally ditched Robin. She was still in Robin's life but Robin grew up thinking Anna was just a friend of the family, not her mom.
