1) She's a HYPOCRITE! I used to like the fact
that Robin stood up for her convictions and was truthful; but ever
since she decided to participate
in the Baby Michael Fraud, I have NO RESPECT for her. How can I think of
her as ''nice'' when she's
helping to keep a man away from his son?
2) She's BLIND. This one I
have less trouble with (hey, if she wants to live her life in fear of the
next car
bombing, that's her business).
She chooses to delude herself into the thinking that what Jason does isn't
who he is.
HELLO! I'm an editor, and
while it's not the same thing as ordering deaths or laundering money, I
can tell you
right now it has an impact
on who I am. My job doesn't define me, but I do read everything a little
bit differently
than I did before I started
it.
From: QM
These are the reasons I hate Robin. Please take
note, and copy them down, because I don't want to have to
repeat them again.
The reasons are as follows:
1. She is a hypocrite.
2. She is portrayed as Port
Charles' sweetheart.
3. She is portrayed as quite
perfect.
4. She is moralistic and holier
than thou.
5. She is irritating in word,
thought, and deed.
Let's start with #1.
She is Ms. High and Mighty
Moral Society. She believes that people should behave in a certain way,
and that if
you act outside of that way,
you are morally wrong. She is willing to still care about you if you step
outside of the
holy light of Robin's Personal
Path to Heaven, but you're still wrong.
Unless you're Carly Roberts.
Carly is evil because she lies,
schemes, cheats, steals, drugs innocent
Quartermaines, sleeps with
more than two people in a three year period...
So Robin hates her. Fine.
EXCEPT that:
Jason lies, cheats, steals
and kills innocent people. He's an extortionist, a racketeer, a murderer,
a thief, an amoral
human being.
But that's all ok, and excusable,
because she WUVS him. Nevermind HOW she fell in love with such a man,
that's just the way it is.
See, that's hypocritical.
Now, #2.
She is portrayed as PC's sweetheart.
She knows and loves everyone
in Port Charles, regardless of how tenuous her connection to them, or how
many
times they've actually seen
each other. And, of course, everyone loves her, because she is St. Robin,
Virgin
Queen of Port Charles.
This is irritating as hell, because there's no reason for ANYONE to be this loved .
#3: Little Ms. Perfect.
Little Ms. Perfect has everything.
Conveniently enough, she has several trust funds coming out of every orifice
of
her body, so she never actually
HAS to work. Little Ms. Perfect is conveniently intelligent enough to get
into
Yale, and the Sorbonne (though
she drops them both for PCU and the Mob). Little Ms. Perfect lives her
life just
right, never doing anything
wrong herself, never lying, never cheating, never stealing, never smoking,
never
drinking, never doing anything
at all. Little Ms. Perfect had sex with her boyfriend and contracted HIV,
but,
miraculously, has this wonderful
protocol (payed by her wonderful trust funds) that
a) causes no side efffects
b) we never see her take
c) makes her have absolutely
NO symptoms of HIV at all!
Little Ms. Perfect never has
to have her T-Cells counted, because her HIV is Perfect HIV, that never
destroys
her T-Cells. Little Ms. Perfect
only has sex for love, and for no other reason, and, because she IS so
perfect, is
able to protect her current
boyfriend from the deadly HIV
virus, even though it's been
proven that contraception is FAR from 100%
effective.
#4: Moralistic.
Not ONLY is Robin gifted with
the moral insight of any congregation of believers anywhere, she knows
what's
best for everyone, too! She
offers unsolicited advice, free of charge, on any subject, and people drool
all over
themselves to take it! Of
course, those that don't take it are repentant, and if they don't, why,
they must be PURE
EVIL!
And finally:
She is irritating in Word, Thought, and Deed.
Enough said.

I hate Robin, and I've justified
it enough.
From: Allyn
Robin is a lying little two-faced HYPOCRITE who
dispenses often conflicting advice to **everyone** (whether
they want it or not) but fails
to take *any* action regarding her own life!
I have made this analogy before
but here it is again -- Robin acts just like Dana Carvey's ''Church Lady''
from
Saturday Night Live. She thinks
she knows better than everyone how they should best live their lives. No
one can
*hope* to come up to to her
standard of 'goodness' but that's ok because she will condescendingly 'forgive'
them
their trespasses (after pointing
out each and every mis-step). She never even stops to **consider** that
her life,
actions and values are anything
less than completely true, right and correct.
I find precious little ''goodness''
left in Robin these days. Her assinine actions hurt all the people who
love her -
Mac, Felicia, Jason, Alan
(who loves her like a daughter), Tony, Brenda, Jax, the list goes on and
on. And it isn't
even like she's trying to
make peace between everyone. She takes whatever stand is most hurtful to
the person
she is talking to. She tells
Mac she will never leave Jason. She tells Jason she will always love Mac.
She
condescends to go to Felicia's
for dinner even though she knows the plan is doomed from the start. She
moves in
with Brenda when Brenda is
recovering from a breakdown percipitated by Sonny and Jason but Robin insists
on
letting Jason call her there
and always talks about how wonderful Jason is to Brenda and Jax (who both
have
pretty reasonable reasons
for hating his guts!). And, of course, the most horrendous sin as far as
I'm concerned,
she is *actively* snarky,
evil and decietful to the Quartermaines who have always loved her!
Now explain to me again why you think she's a *good* character?!
Allynn
From: queen of darkness
What the hell was that line? She was sitting on
the couch with Jason today and said words to that effect; excuse
me, dearie, do you even REALIZE
that a man DIED? That Renaldo, that gorgoeous hunk of tragically underused
flesh who you saw every day
of your life, the man who stood outside that door and protected you, GAVE
HIS
LIFE for you and your little
brain-dead boy toy? It's NOT okay, Robin. A man is dead - do you care?
Does that
even *change* anything for
you? Does that give you any pause? If not for Jason's superman-like vision,
spotting
that device on the tire, you
would be the Slobbin Supreme Pizza Special tonight. And what if some of
the glass
from the exploding car had
cut both you and Jason, exposing him to your HIV-infected blood? What about
that,
Robin? No, you just insist
on covering your ears and singing loudly, ''Lalalala, I can't hear you,
lalalalala...'',
despite all of the common-sense
statements tossed your way.
From: Shepster
Why I don't like Robin.
Why I ''bash,'' ''insult''
''criticize'' Robin, whatever you want to call it.
Here it is.
Read very closely.
Are y'all with me?
I've said this exact same
thing on this exact same board before. So here we go again.
The reason I don't like Robin is because I don't like Robin.
There's no need for explanations,
no need for long-winded discussions about why I feel the need to make fun
of
this FICTIONAL character,
or debates about why she inspires so much venom.
I don't like to see Robin on
my television screen. I fast-forward through Robin. She annoys me. I avoid
watching
scenes with Robin in them.
I just don't like Robin.
I don't have to justify my
dislike of Robin to anyone. If I want to make fun of a FICTIONAL character
that I
don't like, I will. If for
some strange reason, I didn't like Holden Caufield in Catcher in the Rye,
I'd be perfectly
within my right to ''bash''
and/or make fun of him. If I didn't like Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo
and Juliet, it's my
prerogative to say so. It's
called criticism, and it's a perfectly acceptable practice.
So we get a little feisty.
So we have Anti-Robin Day, and Anti-Robin Keeperships, and the Anti-Robin
song
(OK, that was me, LOL!) So?
She's not real. Robin does not exist. Robin no existe!!! Criticism of this
FICTIONAL character is stimulating,
challenging and fun. At least for me!
And I for one, have already
started thinking up some new Anti-Robin keeperships. After all, Thursday's
right
around the corner!

From: Lauren
I'm one of those people who ''grew up with Robin''.
I loved her with Stone (is that a requirement for being a GH
fan or something? LOL), I loved her and Jason the
first time around...yadda, yadda, yadda.
But I CANNOT stand her now! I don't feel the need
to justify why she annoys me, she just does. She is no
longer the Robin I watched grow up or watched fall
in love with both Stone and Jason. This Robin has an ability
to justify things she once stood firmly against.
And while I appreciate hypocrits if that is their purpose in the story,
Robin's purpose is simply to change drastically
to fit into whatever mold seems right at the time. There is no
consistancy of character, so how can I like the
character? Even if I enjoyed her one day, the next she'd contradict
herself all over again. She's just not worth my
time anymore.

From: ReDarc
Robin is a character that I have never ever liked
From the beginning. Every time she squeaked about all of her Godfathers,
I wanted to put my hand through the
TV & strangle her. Now
that she's grown up, nothing in my mind has changed about this character
& I doubt it
will. Thank You Andy.
From: RStortz
Hmm...let's see...I actually liked Robin as a
little girl and during the Stone days but this pod slobbin is the one I
detest. Let me count the ways:
She is a hypocrite(everyone is expected to bow, scrape and worship her
and live
by her standards of perfection).
If she doesn't like you(never mind if their is a reason for it) she will
either :ignore
you alltogether like she did
with Moreno, trash you to Jason and whomever will listen or wine until
she gets her
way.....She is self centered,
self involved, manipulative in a sneaky way, defensive if everyone doesn't
think she is
perfect and just plain stupid!
There is more but I don't want to put everyone to sleep.
If I have to continue to see
her four times a week I'm going to be ff most of the show!
Vicki
From: Wishbone
but here's why I don't like Robin in case you want to add this.
1.)She's boring-this is the
very reason I first began to detest Robin, I can not think of one single
thing she has ever
done that has entertained
me for even one scene. I admit though that I do enjoy making fun of her.
2.)She's completely morally
pure-unless it doesn't suit her purposes. She has no problem defending,
living with,
or even sleeping with mobsters-
and Robin may not realize this, but mobsters are thugs, racketeers, thiefs,
murderers, and just all around
bad people.
She had no problem using her
boyfriend's best friend to get her boyfriend fired.
And not only has she perpetuated
the lie of Michael being Jason's son she has repeatedly told A.J. to stay
away
from Michael because in her
morally pure judgement, she has decided that Jason is a better father (we
won't
mention that A.J. never had
the chance to be a Dad).
And furthermore when Michael's
mother, a woman who Robin hates and hates Robin, a woman whom Robin
knows doesn't want her near
her child, is sent to a mental institution, Robin steps in and begins to
Mother the
child saying things like ''I
have a child who needs me'' and then asking for pictures, taking that child
with her to the
park, to visit her friends,
etc.
She has no problem defending
Tony for kidnapping Michael, she just blames it all on Carly. And then
after Tony
says that he will try and
kidnap Michael again, Robin not only manages to keep her mobster boyfriend
from
killing Tony, she doesn't
mention the fact that Tony may take Michael again at any moment to anyone.
3.) Now this is all fine and
dandy, except that no one realizes just how horrible of a person she is.
Everyone
needs to protect her no matter
what.
It isn't until Robin's life
is in danger that Mac really begins to try and take Jason down, the countless
others that
Jason has maimed/hurt/killed
are of no importance in compared to the angel that Robin is.
Nikolas makes the mistake
of daring to say that adding Justice to his Uncle's defense team would
make his Uncle
even guiltier (nevermind that
he got shot with a bullet meant for Jason). And somehow Nikolas ended up
apologizing to Robin, who
''forgave'' him once he said that he was only concerned for her safety.
Tony goes on a rampage at
the nurses ball and begins telling off several Port Charles citizens, this
is all fine and
dandy until Tony god forbid,
insults Jason. Never mind that all of what Tony says is true, how dare
he insult
Robin's mobster boyfriend.
4.) And the worst part is that
Robin doesn't know what a bad person she is.
She has said that ''Jason
has no concept of social justice''. HELLO???
She has stated that ''She
doesn't mold the truth''. Good Lord child, what the hell are you thinking.
She has compared her Uncle's
job as Police Commisioner and her parents job as WSB agents to that of
Jason's
job as head of the mob because
they're both dangerous.
And she believes that when
people try to protect her from the danger of living with Jason that they
are the ones
who are wrong.
5.) Robin is on all the time.
She has no real story except to defend Jason and say that she loves him.
Kimberly
McCullough doesn't even have
a contract, and yet she is easily on at least 3-4 days a week. She has
more airtime
defending Jason per week than
Taggert, Dara, V., and Garcia combined. She has more scenes bonding with
Nikolas per week than the
entire Quartermaine family, and she has more scenes holding Michael per
week than
A.J. has had the entire year.
Now that I've written my dissertation I think I'll give my fingers a rest. Loved the page.

From: Aneta
Okay, i hate Robin, because she doesnt Make any sense.
Everything that comes out of
her mouth contradicts herself. Firstly, she tells mac to butt out of her
relationship
with Jason, and that Mac has
nothing to worry. And then she says that its okay for Jason to act repulsivily
and
violently to protect Robin
and michael.
HELLOooooooooooooo, i guess its okay then for Mac to act violently towards jason to protect Robin huh.
does this character ever get
any more stupider. Its like.... Jason's like ''lets have a pizza'', and
Robin replies... ''oh
i love you.''
She is derranged, and she scares
me. and her sleeping on kitchen tables isnt exactly environmentally friendly
for
the family. A family that
she claims is jasons, and maybe hers but she knows its NOT! shes living
a lie, and telling
AJ, that Michael belongs with
Jason. Huh???.
Okay enough said. It seems
like im mad, but i sersiously laugh. Its her stupidity that makes me laugh.
and scenes
like this, keep the Anti Robin
posts goin.
So i say... let TPTB make Robin
stupid. We all need a good laugh.
From: BamaJan
I've watched this show for
over 30 years. And Robert Scorpio was and is my all time favorite character.
When
Robin was introduced as his
daughter, I loved it and I loved her. I thought she was adorable. I loved
how
animated she was. I loved
all the scenes with her and Anna, her and Robert. The three of them together.
Her and
Casey. There wasn't one part
of her storyline or character that I didn't like. When they introduced
the AIDS
storyline with Stone, I was
moved. I was sad about the whole thing, but it was a good bittersweet story.
I grieved
with her when he died and
she learned she was HIV+ (although that fact depressed the hell out of
me.)
But then signs and hints of
her future destruction as a moral character started to show. Her devotion
to Sonny. I
told myself that was only
because they shared Stone. So it wasn't that farfetched that she felt a
strong connection
to the man. So I didn't dwell
on it. It was understandable.
When she reached out to Jason,
I thought, ''This is perfect!'' Because I remembered how she used to have
a
crush on him (much like Emily
with Nikolas now) but he only had eyes for Karen. I was glad he turned
to her. I
thought she would temper some
of that anger. I thought Robin would be the bridge to integrating this
new Jason
with his family. Color me
shocked when she sent him to Sonny!!!
He finds a load of cash on
that docks in which someone was killed over and her first instinct is to
turn to a
mobster? She's suspose to
be a law abiding moral person and the police doens't occur to her? When
Robin
decided that taking a bag
full of ill gotten money to a mobster was better than taking it to the
police, (wasn't Mac
the commissioner then?) that's
when Robin started her downfall. That's when she first showed that she
wasn't as
moral as she would have people
to think. But it still didn't turn me against her. I just thought, it was
an isolated
case of bad judgement.
Then Jason joined the mob.
At least Robin had the good sense to be worried about it. And when her
living room
got shot up and Jason was
shot and bleeding, it was a wake up call for her. I cheered her decision
that she
couldn't live that mob life.
Jason's ''job'' was a problem for her and she couldn't condone it. She
went to Sonny
and begged him to fire Jason.
I didn't hold that against her. But Jason told her he loved the mob. He
wouldn't
leave it. He loved it. (Where
she now gets the idea that Jason only took Sonny's place as a favor for
Sonny is
beyond me. Jason told her
plainly how much he loved the power and the mob.) When they broke up, I
thought
good for her, Anna and Robert
would be proud. (Anna loved Duke, but she didn't accept him in the mob.
She
sent his butt to prison, then
she tried to help him out of the mob.)
But Paris must have leeched
out every moral she ever had. She finds out that Jason is helping Carly
steal AJ's
son. (Carly is the mother,
but that doesn't give her the right to keep AJ out of his son's life.)
He didn't do it
because he thought AJ was
unfit to be a father. He didn't do it because he thought AJ would harm
the baby. He
did it because a former sex
partner asked him to. He helped ''kidnap'' a baby form his father, because
a friend
asked him to. He did it because
he hated his family. His motives were not good. Robin learns the truth,
but does
she go to AJ? (Some will say
''it wasn't her secret to tell.'') If the secret was something that only
affected Jason
and Carly, if it didnt' affect
anyone else, if it was a secret that was personal, just between them, then
that
argument might hold out. But
that isn't the case. This lie does hurt many people and one of those people
being
hurt is the baby.) No she
doesn't. Instead she tells AJ to his face that Micheal belongs with Jason.
Why? Because
Jason loves him? Does she
think that AJ would love him less? AJ is being denied the truth. He is
being denied
that opprotunity to be a part
of his son's life. Each day that passes is a day he will never get back.
By keeping
Jason and Carly's secret,
Robin herself lies and abets the immoral act itself. Keeping a father from
his child.
But then Robin seems to think
that isn't a big deal anyway. Tony kidnaps Micheal, does she call the police?
Tony
holds a shotgun on Jason,
the so called love of her life, yet she still defends him in court? I guess
the fact that
Jason isn't Micheal's father
and he is basically doing the same thing Tony did, only he got away with
it, might have
influenced her judgement here.
She did say at one time, that Jason was doing the same thing as Tony and
she was
right. She would have been
a hypocrit for naming Tony a kidnapper when she herself was aidding in
another form
of kidnapping, (maybe not
a legal kidnapping, but a moral one, or is that immoral one?) So I let
her defense of
Tony slide. I didn't hold
it against her because that was one of the few times when she choose not
to be a
hypocrit.
But when she watched the Q's
and passed judgement on them in her own self rightgious, judgemental way
and
walked up to AJ, looked him
in the eye, told him he had no right to Micheal and he belongs with Jason,
I literally
wanted to slap her. How dare
she!!!! How dare she say that to AJ, knowing (while AJ didn't) that he
was
Micheal's father!!!! That
was the last straw for me. That was when Robin no longer held any moral
traits. That is
when Robin proved what a lying
immoral hypocrit she really was. That is when Robin ''designed'' the truth.
(I had
to laugh when she told mac
''I don't design the truth, uncle Mac. You know me better than that.''
LOL since
when, little twit?) Mac doens't
know her at all! He still thinks she would never ever delibrately keep
a father and
son apart. (especially after
she was kept from your own father until she was 6 years old and it hurt
her,
remember?? When she found
Robert and Anna were her parents, she ran away. She hide in the hospital
for
weeks! She thought they didn't
love her because Anna hid the truth from her, and Robert had never been
apart
of her life! She was extremely
hurt and confused. Remember that pain? Now she would visit that sense of
betrayal, that pain, on an
innocent baby??? Who the hell is she kidding? She DOES design the truth!
She designs
it to fit her own selfish
needs!) Mac would never think her capable of such a betrayal, of such deceit.
Now she realizes that Jason
is too important to her to give up. She decides that she loves him too
much to let him
go. So she is willing to accept
him dispite the mob. (Too bad he doesn't love her as much.) Only we haven't
seen
it as DISPITE the mob. We
have seen her completely embrace the mob. We don't see any conflict in
her face,
when Jason starts talking
about retaliation. Instead we see Robin trouncing about town DEFENDING
the mob.
We see her act like she has
no idea why having a MOBSTER'S lawyer would give anyone a bad impression.
Or
why being associated with
Jason might not be good for one's career. We see her acting like anyone
who sees
Jason as a criminal is just
plain stupid and out of their mind. We see her acting like Mac has no right
to be
worried about her. We see
her downplay and ignore the dangers of her newly embraced life.
The greatest marker on Robin's
lack of morals, is her total disregard, lack of interest or compassion,
or just
human empathy, that a man
died. She even made the comment that ''I'm okay, that's all that important.''
Well
heck Robin! There's more people
in the world than just you! A MAN DIED IN THE EXPLOSION!!!! And
Robin DID NOT care. She even
made bodyguard jokes the next day! The man who died was her bodyguard!
Robin isn't the good all round
moral person in PC. She has lost any morals she ever had. Robin is mob
moll. She
embraces and defends that
life and the violence that goes with it. She is also supports, defends,
aids and abets an
immoral kidnapping of an innocent
baby.
But that wasn't the first time
her complete insensitivety showed itself. When Brenda had her breakdown,
all Robin
could do was defend Sonny
and Jason. She tried to invalidate Brenda's anger towards them. But Brenda
had
valid reasons to hate them
both. They played a major part in Brenda's breakdown and Robin was OUT
OF
LINE to defend them to her,
especially since Brenda was still emotionally fragile. Robin didn't have
to agree with
her, but couldn't she be a
real friend and just let Brenda talk it out? Couldn't she just listen for
once in her self
rightgeous life? Apparently
not.
And last but not least, Robin
continuously gives people advice. Now people say, but don't we all? When
we see
a friend doing something that
is hurting them, or that is hurting other people, or they are walking into
danger, don't
we speak up and talk to them
about it? But since Robin gets that smug, condescending, ''you don't know
what
you are talking about'' or
''You don't have a right to tell me that'' expression on her face, then
she should keep her
trap shut too. Robin gives
advice, but heaven forbid if anyone points out how she is hurting herself,
or how she is
putting herself in danger,
or (when the truth comes out.) how she is acting immoral.
Robin is a lying, aidding and
abetting kidnapper, sanctimoneous, self rightgious, hypocrit who pretends
to be
perfect and the world revolves
around her because she is all knowing. That's why I no longer like Robin.
That's
why I hate her.
