Robin and Patrick

Scrubs Love

By Maria Ciaccia, About.com

Robin and Patrick (Kimberly McCullough, Jason Thompson)

ABC/Adam Larkey

Robin Scorpio first sought out Patrick Drake to perform surgery on Jason Morgan. Though the surgery was a success, Robin found Patrick's cocky attitude and detachment from his patients a big turn-off. The sparring, insults - and sexual tension - started flying immediately, to the point that Patrick deliberately annoyed Robin by pretending to be involved with her NOT best friend, Carly.

Patrick and Robin became closer after he believed he'd been infected with HIV during surgery, though this proved false. However, they became lovers during this time. Realizing after a pregnancy scare that Patrick wasn't going to be able to commit to her, Robin split with Patrick, announcing she wanted to find a sperm donor so she could have a child. Patrick took up with nurse Leyla Mir, but his heart wasn't in it. When Robin became pregnant, Patrick believed it was by a sperm donor, but Patrick was the father due to one of the defective condoms circulating through Port Charles at that time.

The couple then went back and forth ad infinitum because Robin didn't believe Patrick truly wanted to be a father. When he proposed over the hospital loudspeaker, she turned him down. Finally she realized he was sincere and relented, but their first wedding was interrupted by the birth of baby Emma. Finally, in December 2008, they tied the knot.

Now Robin is suffering from post-partum depression. She loves Patrick and their baby, and if she gets the help she needs, "Scrubs" as they're called, can make it through. She definitely has the support of a very devoted husband. At this moment, anyway. You know those writers - today's honeymoon can turn into tomorrow's divorce court.
