Just curious: who wanted Robert to be Lucas' father? Or, maybe, who thought based on the story, he should have been?
Wondering why TPTB have now put Robert into TWO WTD stories where logically it should have been him, but then they revised history so that he wasn't ... and crapped on two female characters in the process. (Not that Cheryl was anywhere near as important (or decent) as Holly, but still!)

(Not that Cheryl was anywhere near as important (or decent) as Holly, but still!) I followed Cheryl's story, so I knew Lucas was Robert's. I did liked Cheryl with Robert and didn't think they were given a fair chance, it's why I disliked Robert/Kate so much. Cheryl was dumped for Katherine. Cheryl was no Holly but she was ok with Robert.

Well I don't think anyone here can answer why Bob Guza decided to make Luke Spencer the father of Ethan rather than Robert Scorpio. Robert as Ethan's father practically wrote itself but leave it to Guza to go in the opposite direction. I think TPTB back in the late 80s didn't want Robert to have any ties to anyone other than Katherine (and Anna). It's really too bad. I liked Cheryl better than Katherine as well. Then again, maybe it's because TR wanted Robin to be his only child. (TOTALLY KIDDING!) ;D

I didn't like Robert with Cheryl at all. Or especially not Autumn or Anna. So really, Holly and Kate were the only two women that I could accept seeing Robert with. Holly will always be number one, but I thought he was fun with Katherine. Something we had not seen in him since Holly left.

Well it may have made more sense to have Robert be the father, but since I didn't like the pairing, I was glad that no kids came of it. But that's only my opinion.

I guess I had mixed feelings. For one, I could not stand Katherine. I was so glad when they broke up. She grated on my last nerve. I also hated Autumn. Cheryl never got on my nerves. And she did get a stamp of approval from Emma herself ! I thought it was crappy what they ended up doing to Cheryl but at the same time, I don't think I'd be thrilled with Robert having another kid with someone who isn't Holly.
The bottom line for me is that none of their other pairings came anywhere close to matching Robert and Holly.
Autumn, Cheryl, Katherine and Anna were zilch compared to Holly.
Luke and Bill were zilch compared to Robert.
Once you achieve perfection, nothing else can live up to it.

I disliked her the entire time that she was around. ITA, R&H were pure perfection!!

I was fine with either Katharine or Cheryl, not really a fan of either, but not bothered by them. But I did think TPTB were messing with what I saw onscreen by making Lucas Julian's and I didn't like it ... who knew I'd be getting so much more of THAT down the road?! (And I HATED Robin and Anna giving Robert hell over possibly being the dad).

I hated that Robert was letting Robin get away with that. She was acting like a bratty little kid. But then, she never was normal, they always had her acting more like an adult, even when she was 7.

Except for the fact that everybody picked her up to talk to her ...that annoyed me so much, I couldn't wait for that kid to get bigger so they couldn't!

I didn't watch it everyday at the time but I never liked Cheryl and I didn't get sick when I saw Robert with Katherine so I guess she was okay. Since Holly was, is and always will be my favorite character I guess in the back of my mind no other woman was living up to her in any way, shape or form. I can't even remember Autumn. I've gone thru and watched clips of her and Robert on youtube but she must've left absolutely no impression on me whatsoever as not one scene looked familiar. Guess that was a short fling. I much prefer Cheryl over Katherine but neither one was anything to write home about. However, I was more more acceptance of Robert moving forward in his life since Holly was well, respected and treated as the LOHL.

You didn't miss much by not remembering Autumn. I'm rewatching some of that period and I couldn't stand her. It's not even the Holly or R&H fan in me that disliked her...she was no competition to Holly at all (neither were Anna, Cheryl, or Katherine)...it was the way she said "Bertie" all the time. Grated on my nerves big time. Anyway, my thoughts on this old discussion. None of Robert's others could compete with Holly in any way though I did like Anna as a friend and co-parent when those boundaries were kept. None of Holly's others could compete with Robert. As someone said earlier in this thread, you can't compete with perfection.
