Robin's funeral continued today as family and friends remembered how she touched their lives. Luke read a letter from Robert who was off chasing after Ethan who he believes is in trouble and his son. Sonny spoke about how he and Robin met and learned how to accept and love each other and then he left with Kate.
The remembrances of Robin were intertwined with footage of Robin from the time she was a little girl. As a long-time fan it was nice to look back at familiar characters and remember the storylines the character had been through. Robin was an amazingly open person who wasn't quick to judge anyone.
Sonny pressed Kate to tell him why she texted him. Kate couldn't remember doing that and recalled the conversation she had with Ewen about her blackouts. Kate admitted to Sonny that Ewen is a psychiatrist that she is seeing in Port Charles. Sonny continued to press Kate about why she needs help. It seems that Kate is getting close to breaking. What will Sonny do when he sees Connie emerge?
Maxie burst into Robin's funeral and started to speak about how selfish she was and confessed to killing Robin.
Sam frantically tried to keep Carly from seeing Jason but while she was off trying to stop Carly from busting into Jason's room, Carly was finally successful in doing so.
Jason knew Carly was keeping something and after much back and forth where Carly tried to accuse Sam of keeping her from him, Carly blurted out that Robin was dead.
Sam ran into Ewen who tried to make her see that perhaps her protectiveness of Jason is actually control/jealousy. Sam tried to explain that she was fearful that Jason would die. Ewen tried to get Sam to see that the danger may have passed and Sam needs to back off on being so overprotective.
Next week watch for repercussions of Sam's lie and Carly's refusal to respect Sam's wishes. How will Jason see Sam after he learns the truth about Robin?
Kate is headed for a total breakdown. She cannot contain Connie much longer.
Maxie's admission may seem like grief to many but will she reveal what she did to cause the accident?

Saying Goodbye
Robin's family and friends prepared to say goodbye to her as Maxie struggled with the fact that she caused the accident that cost Robin her life.
As Mac and Lulu arrived to accompany Maxie to the funeral, Maxie refused to go with them. She left the apartment and Mac and Lulu headed out without her.
At the church, Luke comforted Anna who regretted not being there for her daughter as she grew up.
Meanwhile Patrick struggled with facing the day. Matt and Elizabeth helped with getting Emma ready to say goodbye to her mother.
Edward despaired that yet another good, young person was gone too soon and Tracey consoled him telling him how much she needed him.
Jason woke up (finally) and was determined to thank Robin for helping to save his life. Sam told Spinelli that she is Jason's wife and she will tell Jason about Robin when she feels he is ready to handle it. It is going to have to be soon because Jason woke up with only Robin on his mind.
Prepare for a tear-jerking episode on Thursday when Port Charles says goodbye to Robin.
Once this is over we can get back to the other drama brewing in Port Charles.

John McBain Comes to Port Charles
As Todd holds Sonny at gunpoint, John McBain arrives just in time. John arrests Todd for jumping bail and with a few PCPD officers to help him out, warns Sonny that if he is responsible for Cole and Hope's deaths he will be back to deal with him.
Sonny and John chatted up a bit and it turns out that McBain was former FBI and knows Sonny from back when. Carly warned Todd that although he is a dangerous man himself, he might want to think twice about messing with Sonny.
Blair took Starr home and Starr forgave Michael for not saving her family.
Meanwhile "Connie" set forth her plan to have Sonny find her and Johnny in a compromising position but Sonny was tied up at the courthouse and didn't answer her text. Johnny and "Connie" started to get hot and heavy and then Kate came back and pushed Johnny away. Johnny realized that Kate/Connie ARE two different personalities and realized that he is messing with a ticking timebomb.
Anthony continued to push Johnny into getting revenge against Sonny by taking up Kate/Connie's offer and Johnny accused Anthony of trying to pimp him out the way he did Claudia.
Maxi had a little talk with Ewen who warned her that denying her grief would only cause her further pain. Maxi then broke down to Matt who arrived at the hospital with Elizabeth who thanked Maxi for clearing her name. Elizabeth told Maxi how much Robin relied on Maxi to counsel her and Maxi seemed shocked that Robin thought so highly of her advice.
Olivia went to go see Johnny after Steve told her about the blackmail. She also told Steve that she loved him. Olivia overheard Anthony talking to Tracey and now feels that she has something to blackmail Johnny with in order to free Steve.
It was another day that moved us closer to a breakdown for Kate, the truth about who shot out Anthony's tires and possibly some end to Steve and Maggie's secret. Will there finally be a memorial for Robin? Perhaps this week and also the arrival of Patrick's dad (played by Rick Springfield). I see this week ending with a tear-jerking episode as we say goodbye to the character of Robin Scorpio-Drake.
We haven't yet seen Jason since Patrick did his life-saving surgery. Who will tell him about Robin? This and more in the coming days.
General Hospital is heating up!

Todd Vs. the Mob
Carly and Blair Kramer bonded over a bottle at the Metro Court as they compared their exes. It was fun to see Carly befriend someone whose past history with a man mirrors her own. Both women also share a deep love for their children and an inability to walk away from a man who is just not good for them.
Starr had it out with Michael until she realized that she and Michael had an awful lot in common. Both have fathers who do horrible things but yet they both fiercely love their dads in spite of it. These two are both in pain but mature enough to see that they are not responsible for their fathers' actions.
Meanwhile Sonny was granted bail thanks to Alexis and Todd found Sonny in the courtroom where he confronted him about being responsible for killing his granddaughter.
Dante confronted Delores about the missing pictures and Lulu watched as Delores reacted suspiciously. Dante questions why Delores would sabotage the investigation but sees how there was no one else around when the pictures vanished. Dante shares with Lulu that Delores has been to many precincts and always seems to have "problems" and gets transferred. It is a stretch but how involved is Delores in these crimes against the dancers? I suspect it has something to do with Eddie, her husband that we have never seen.
Steve finally came clean to Olivia, admitting that he and Maggie chose to save a young girl who needed a transplant by intentionally allowing a criminal to die. Olivia believed he was remorseful and didn't understand why Maggie and Steve were so concerned about being found out. Steve then told her that Johnny also knows the truth and now an investigation is focusing on him. Olivia wondered out loud why she seems to be attracted to men who are criminals. She thought Steve was different but now has found that he really isn't so different than the mobsters she has loved.
Ewen showed up at Kate's office where she explained the situation with the gun being found in her office. She asked the doctor if she could have done something horrible out of character and not remembered. Although the doctor told her that it was possible, Kate insisted that Johnny must have done it and tried to frame Sonny. She insisted that someone with her character could never have done something so horrible. It's too bad that it wasn't Kate but her alter ego Connie, who IS capable.
As Ewen was leaving, Johnny showed up at the office. Kate asked him what took him so long.
Since Ewen has helped out Dante before, is it unreasonable to think that he could point Dante in Kate's direction or would that be a disclosure of private information from a patient? Technically Kate is not Ewen's patient but she is most certainly unbalanced and ready to snap for good.
As Todd holds Sonny at gunpoint in the courtroom, Blair and Carly and then Starr and Michael burst in. Blair pleads with Todd to not do something stupid but as the screen goes dark a gunshot is heard.
Todd Manning is a twisted man who has no problem killing anyone but he has met his match in mob boss Sonny Corinthos. This may be the beginning of a new war in Port Charles.

As Sonny sat in lock-up, charged with murder, Dante tried to find Kate to ask her about the gun found in her office. Meanwhile Kate was visited by Ewen who wanted to check up on her.
Kate didn't seem to remember her encounter with Ewen when she was dressed in her bloody wedding dress. Ewen pressed Kate for answers to why she had experienced blackouts and warned her that her condition would only worsen without treatment.
Dante arrived and Ewen left but Dante seemed puzzled at why the shrink was visiting her.
Kate tried to lie for Sonny, saying that he had been with her on the evening in question. She kept insisting that Sonny was not guilty of shooting out Anthony's tires. Dante told Kate he already knew his father's whereabouts that evening and if she was going to lie to him she would wind up in a cell next to Sonny.
Anthony tried to pursuade Johnny to take Connie/Kate up on her offer telling him sleeping with Connie and allowing Sonny to find out would be the perfect revenge. Johnny refused to take advantage of a sick woman and told Anthony that doing so would make him no better than Sonny.
Robert found Holly and Luke at Windemere and left with Holly to go "save" Ethan. Luke promised Robert he would look after Anna while he was gone.
Todd managed to sneak in to see Starr with Carly's help. Carly did not succeed in seeing Jason and instead got caught by Epiphany. Carly went to Johnny's to complain about being kept away from Jason.
Starr told Todd what she remembered about the accident. Todd vowed to take care of Sonny Corinthos.
Coming: Kate becomes unable to hide her dual personality. Dante and Lulu discover that the pictures Dante took of the footprints of the Dolores' attacker were purposely stolen, but by who? Port Charles gathers to say goodbye to Robin. Will Maxie come clean with her part in the "accident"?
Next week John McBain comes to Port Charles from Llanview to help Blair track down who is responsible for the deaths of Cole and Hope. Todd goes after Sonny. Will Dante and Lulu come closer to the truth about who attacked Dolores?

Todd Manning Arrives in Port Charles
This One Life to Live fan has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Todd Manning. I have wondered where the writers were going to continue in the story that was left hanging when OLTL went off the air. My questions were answered today but first, let's talk about what else went down today in Port Charles.
Alexis arrived to help Sonny who was arrested for murder after the gun Dante found in Kate's office matched the bullets that shot out the tires on Anthony's car. Dante arrested his father for murder even though Sonny professed his innocence (Sonny ALWAYS claims innocence). I think Dante wants to believe him.
Luke's plan to talk Robert out of ending his life worked and Robert first headed to tell Anna and Mac that he was heading off to save his "son". Anna tried to stop him but Mac urged her to allow Robert to do what he needed to do.
Maxi almost confessed to Lulu her memory of causing the gas leak that caused Robin's death but then Mac showed up and she broke down in his arms. Will Maxi come clean?
Luke informed Holly and Ethan of his "plan" to save Robert and helped Ethan to leave the country. Holly seemed impressed that Luke was giving up his son to help save Robert. Ethan willingly left, broken over Cassandra's death and eager for adventure. It was a sad goodbye to a character that I had grown to love.
Blair reacted angrily to Todd's showing up at the hospital. She warned him that she would keep him away from Starr after what he did. She insisted that she would help Starr through this tragedy. She broke down when she told him about Hope and Cole and Todd seemed broken at the loss of their granddaughter.
Meanwhile Michael went to see Starr. Starr was angry that he did not save her family as he promised.
Todd wound up at the hotel and met Carly. After talking they saw a way to help each other and Carly helped Todd sneak in to see Starr while Carly planned to see Jason.
Coming soon: A funeral for Robin and the arrival of John McBain.
