I feel hopeful. Since it's a short visit, there is no chance of them trying an Anna/Robert romantic thing. There are more returns still to be announced---maybe Emma Samms will still be one of them and we will finally get to see Robert and Holly together onscreen! If not, hopefully the new writers will stick with Ron's plan of Robert and Holly being together. He's only back for a short time so very easy to have him have a life with Holly offscreen to return to!

Fabulous news! I can't wait to watch and I do hope Holly will appear or at least be mentioned in a positive way!

Hi All! New to the Board!! Fell in love with RnH in 1983 when I was 12 years old. I'm 44 now, and thanks to YouTube, I've fallen in love with them all over again & am "joining forces" with my fellow RnH'ers to get our couple straightened out--and for us to be able to see it onscreen!
Gotta admit that I stopped watching GH regularly about 3 years ago, and completely tuned out when they killed off Duke (again) earlier this year. As much as I love Robert, I really don't want to watch him doing all of this adventurous stuff without Holly at his side. I'm also happy that this is a temporary visit, because I don't want him paired back with Anna either!! Great friends & co-parents, but nothing more please!!

Welcome to the board, Louisa. I'm glad you've rediscovered Robert and Holly. I usually can't watch current GH. It's just too bad (no offense to those that like it). But I'll tune in to see Robert - as long as they don't have him fawning all over Anna.
At this point, I'll be content if Robert and Anna don't go romantic. And I would love a mention of Holly. But I won't get my hopes up. It's so sad that Robert and Holly haven't gotten the respect they deserve IMO. They were truly one of the great all-time supercouples.

Welcome Louisa.
Not even Robert could make me watch current GH again. I occasionally read about it, and it sounds dreadful.

I'm completely in the same boat, crazy4zen. I'll occasionally read an update to see if anything has improved enough for me to tune in again, but it sounds horrible. Without Holly or even a reference to her, I can't even watch it for Robert!!
When I look at the old episodes from '83-'85, I can't help but think: "How could this show have gotten so far off track?"

If not, hopefully the new writers will stick with Ron's plan of Robert and Holly being together. He's only back for a short time so very easy to have him have a life with Holly offscreen to return to! I saw Tristan's response to a tweet from an RnA fan asking if Robert and Anna would become a couple again. Tristan responded that he needs to blog about this once and for all to set the record straight because much is forgotten about that couple. Tristan has pretty much always said that both he and Finola Hughes envision Robert and Anna as good friends and a kickass spy team, and that they can do that without being romantic. So, unless the writers just "force" it, I don't think either Tristan or Finola is pushing for an RnA romance. |

I do the same thing...and a major reason it got so off track is when they decided to make mobsters the heart, soul, and good guys on the show. There are other reasons of course, but that's a big one. The only soap I still watch currently (not reruns or old tapes or clips) is Days. While not like it was in the good old days, it's also not like a completely different show. |

Welcome to the board, Louisa! It's always great to find more RnH fans. I agree with the thoughts on Tristan's tweet. I think what he meant by that is the fact that RnA work best as a non-romantic team and that's what people seem to forget about them.
It does seem like he is back for longer than we originally thought. I braced myself for the RnA as Santa and Mrs. Claus scenes but thankfully they were pretty painless. They were barely on and it was all for Emma. I'm glad so far that the new writers are keeping RnA in "team" mode rather than anything remotely romantic. I just hope we get a Holly mention---or they can get Emma on before TR is totally done.
Ron did intend for RnH to be fully back together. Unfortunately, during Holly's last visit--some lines regarding Robert were cut so we have no official on air confirmation of this. With Ron gone, the new writers aren't under any obligation to go with his intentions. These new writers have not excited me much, but I am glad that they really continued Anna's grief over Duke and that Duke is still mentioned so much. It gives me hope that the thought isn't there for RnA romance. Would be nice if we can get some on air confirmation of RnH being together.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Welcome to the board Louisa.It's good to hear from other Robert and Holly fans.Although Robert is back for Robin and his granddaughter,I'm not thrilled about him being there without Holly.Every time he has come back, for the 1 millionth Robin gets kidnapped story, it's always hyped as the "great Scorpio team" in action again  We all know that Holly is a Scorpio and that she and Robert were wonderful together solving cases,yet these writers won't acknowledge that. I hope that before he leaves we will get a Holly mention or at least have him call her telling her that he loves her and if the "writers" really want to they can research history and have a box of holly sent to him 
Sorry I forgot this is new GH where history doesn't matter and romance means the women falling for bad guys while the good ones(are there any?) are backed burned or ruined.I hope that RnA will not be pushed into being more than just parents and allow Robert to leave with all thoughts of getting back to his Holly ASAP,before they try to involve him in Anna's life.

I know! Robert & Anna were together for only about a year before the boat explosion. Robert & Holly were a crime-solving, sexy couple in love for three years!! They were THE COUPLE on GH during that time--they anchored the show!! How the writers minimize that now is beyond me. Yes, characters evolve, but not so much that their history is erased!!
Think about it: Robert hasn't tried to "reclaim" Anna since he survived the boat explosion. He has, however, flirted & reminisced with Holly (in that horrible 2006 debacle), and has run off to help Holly (2013). Holly sat with Robert while he was in a coma while everyone else was back in Port Charles!! My hope is that the new writers see the value in continuing with RC's vision of a reunited RnH and that TPTB negotiate a return (temporary is fine) for both Tristan & Emma at the same time. Both actors seem to still have affection & respect for what this couple stood for and would probably welcome the opportunity to bring them full circle. Like their song says, they are "The Greatest Love Affair of Them All!"

Well I really disliked this week with Robert saying Anna was the most capable woman he ever married. Kind of impossible to take that as anything but an insult to Holly. What was the need for that? It could've been worded another way. Mac didn't even ask about Holly. Apparently Robert is kept away from PC because of the WSB---no mention of Holly.
Ron clearly wanted Robert and Holly together which is why he even tweeted to make it clear that they are together---but it is looking to me like the new writers have no intention of following thru on that. I still don't think romance is in the cards for RnA but really disappointed that RnH spending all this time together over the last few years has amounted to nothing.
