Edits focused on Robin

I created this series to follow Robin's storyline. For instance, the Asian Quarter storyline is on the Early Robin #1-3 and also on the Robert & Anna & Robin #5-8. This series just condenses Robin's storyline a bit so not all of of Robert and all of Anna's scenes are included, though the Asian Quarter time frame is complete but once that ends I began editing more to Robin's scenes.

From the time Robin arrived in PC, I included every Robert, Anna, and Robin scene. I also included pretty much every Sean scene, a lot of the Mr. Wu and his grandson Kim's actions, as well as showing Olin and her grandson Suki helping Frisco, I also included most of Frisco's scenes as he takes on a dangerous undercover assignment to help Robert protect Robin and find out who killed Josh. So the Early Robin #1-3 cover all of the Asian Quarterstoryline, but the Early Robin #4 becomes more focused on Robin's storyine.

Early Robin #1 September 6-26, 1985: 8 hr original edit
The Asian Quarter storyline begins when Robert arrives home one day to find Robin waiting in his living room. He quickly becomes very attached to her (they are so adorable together!). Anna has said her goodbyes and returns home to NY to find Philomenia tied up and that Robin has been kidnapped. She turns to Robert for help and is shocked to find Robin has been with him. As she hugs Robin, Robert starts to put together Robin's age, her resemblance to Anna, and their obvious bond. He realizes that Robin is his daughter and Anna confirms it. They work together to protect Robin who is repeatedly targeted. Robert tells her about the attempts to steal Robin's doll. Anna diffuses a bomb; Sean escapes from prison and agrees to work with Mr. Wu to retrieve the black pearls, Sean confronts Anna and threatens Robin's life if they valuables that were hidden in the Jade statues aren't returned. Meanwhile, a woman delivery flowers to the Scorpios steals Robin's doll.
Robin is continually threatened and we finally learn as she has a flashback that she found the pearls in the Jade Buddha's and put them as eyes in her doll. Robin's doll is stolen as a warning that they can get to Robin, though ironically Wu doesn't realize that the pearls are in the doll's eyes. Frisco goes undercover by taking the blame for a hit and run accident that kills Tai, Yang's brother. Anna realizes Robin is in danger and takes her to the pizza place to hide. They are found by Wu's men and stalked through the Asian Quarter. The Green Shirts save the day and come along at just the right time, and then Robert arrives to arrest Wu's men.

Early Robin #2 October 8 - November 11, 1985: 8 hr original edit
I continued to include every Robert scene, every Anna scene, and every Robin scene during this time frame, so not just edited to Robin but the entire storyline. Frisco is told that in order to work for Mr. Wu that he will have to prove his loyalty by kidnapping Robin. Anna is to intervene and rescue Robin. Felicia is taken hostage and questioned all night. She is released with the ultimatum that if the black pearls aren't returned within 24 hours that Frisco will be killed! Robert gets fake pearls to give to Mr. Wu to buy Frisco time. Before he can leave to make the exchange, Anna knocks Robert out and takes his place. Olin and her grandson, Suki, help Frisco escape. Kim (Mr. Wu's grandson) shoots Frisco but Sean jumps in front of him and is shot instead. Yang tells Robert that Frisco was shot point blank and he doesn't believe he could have survived that bullet. So everyone is told that Frisco is dead! Felicia doesn't believe it and goes looking for Frisco's body. She finds Olin who tells her that Frisco is alive and takes her to him. Robert and Anna grieve over Frisco's death and are immensely relieved when he shows up alive! Robert demands he turns Sean over to him but Frisco refuses saying Sean saved his life by taking a bullet meant for Frisco. Robert is determined to bring Sean in. Robin overhears Robert and Anna talking about being her parents, she is hurt when she hears Robert say he doesn't want to tell her yet. Robin runs away and hides out at GH. Robert and Anna believe that Wu has kidnapped her and they are desperate to find her. Robin visits her sick friend and gets back her doll, Cindy. Click here to read the full edit description.

Early Robin #3 November 11 - December 20, 1985: 8 hour original edit
This edit contains the conclusion of the Asian Quarter storyline, Thanksgiving, Anna agrees to become co-police commissioner, and goes through Robert's departure. Once the AQ storyline ends, I began editing more to Robin's scenes. So this is complete for the Asian Quarter storyine for Robet, Anna, and Robin's scenes then becomes more of a Robin edit after that storyline concludes. This edit contains the actual location scenes shot in Chinatown that was used as Port Charles Asian Quarter, this authenticity really added to this storyline. Robin stows away in the medical van and when it arrives in the Asian Quarter, she makes her getaway and runs into the Ancient One. She is soaking wet from the rain and he takes her inside to get dry. He quickly realizes she is a runaway and gives her shelter till he can figure out where her family is. He tells her the story of the black pearls and the Jade Buddha's and Robin realizes the marbles she found are the black pearls that the Ancient One needs to save his people. She puts the pearls back into the Buddha's to give the Ancient One his miracle. Kim learns where they are hiding out; he steals the Buddha's and the doll. Ancient One and Robin run out into the street, Robin finds her doll thrown in the street and the Ancient One retrieves his Buddha's from where Kim had stashed them when he was confronted by the Green Shirts. The Ancient One and Robin seek a new hide out, while there Robin shows him the pearls. Sean and Frisco hide in the catacombs under the city and eavesdrop on Wu and Kim. They are able to get evidence of Wu's master plan to use the cannery to can and sell cocaine. Wu catches on to their presence beneath him and an explosion causes a cave in. Sean was out following Kim and returns to find Suki and Frisco have been buried alive. He runs to Robert's to get help. Frisco is rescued and reunited with his friends and family. Anna finally finds Robin walking on the docks with the Ancient One and they share a very happy reunion which is cut short when Wu's men kidnap her and the Ancient One.

Early Robin #4 December 23, 1985 - September 22, 1986: 8 hour original edit
The Early Robin #4 is more edited to Robin's scenes as Anna is off investigating the Laurelton murder mystery (and I had already edited that storyline with all of Anna & all of Robin's scenes on the Anna 1986 #9-11). So this is more edited to her scenes with Anna as her mom attempts to balance being a working single mom. Also included are Robin's scenes with her godfathers, Buzz, Frisco, Sean, and also with Bobbie and Felicia as they help care for her during the frequent times Anna has to leave town to pursue the murder investigation. While she is off chasing the bad guy, Robin is taken care of by Bobbie and Felicia. Often in a soap, the children are just forgotten but not with Robin. She continues to have her own storyline as she interacts with a variety of people in Port Charles while her mother is gone. Anna makes frequent phone calls home to talk to her daughter. Then Duke enters town and begins romancing Anna. Anna is one of Felicia's bridesmaids and Robin is her flower girl. I include Felicia's bridal shower, and F&F's wedding. There is a hostage drama at the Webbers involving bank robbers, Frisco, Lucy, Patrick ect. Anna and Burt Duke is enchanted with Robin and gives her a set of bagpies and a complete Scottish outfit, pretty funny as Robin attempts to play the bagpipes (for days on end) to Anna's annoyance.

Edits of Robin with others

Robert, Holly & Anna #5 August 28 – Sept 26, 1985 - 8 hr original edit
This edit covers the conclusion of the Aztec Adventure as Robert arrives at the Canada chalet and discovers where Sean has hidden the treasure. Sean spots Robert, they exchange gunfire and it concludes with the big fight scene between Sean and Robert on the tram. Robert goes flying off the tram and both Sean and Anna believe he has died. Anna, Frisco, and Felicia have escaped. Anna is devastated to think that Robert has died. They are all reunited when Robert returns and Sean is happy to go to jail when he sees that Robert is alive.
There are some nice reunion scenes between Robert and Holly as they spend time together before Holly departs for Australia (as Emma leaves the show). The Asian Quarter storyline immediately begins with the appearance of Mr. Woo who is distraught that the black pearls are missing from his Jade statues (the same statues that Anna planted on Holly to have her arrested). Robert arrives home one day to find Robin waiting in his living room. He quickly becomes very attached to her (they are so adorable together!). Anna has said her goodbyes and returns home to NY to find Philomenia tied up and that Robin has been kidnapped. She turns to Robert for help and is shocked to find Robin has been with him. As she hugs Robin, Robert starts to put together Robin’s age, her resemblance to Anna, and their obvious bond. He realizes that Robin is his daughter and Anna confirms it.

Robert, Anna & Robin #6 September 26 – October 31, 1985 – 8 hour original edit
Robin is continually threatened and we finally learn as she has a flashback that she found the pearls in the Jade Buddha’s and put them as eyes in her doll. Robin’s doll is stolen as a warning that they can get to Robin, though ironically Wu doesn’t realize that the pearls are in the doll’s eyes. Frisco goes undercover by taking the blame for a hit and run accident that kills Tai, Yang’s brother. Anna realizes Robin is in danger and takes her to the pizza place to hide. They are found by Wu’s men and stalked through the Asian Quarter. The Green Shirts save the day and come along at just the right time, and then Robert arrives to arrest Wu’s men. Jack Wagner does a great job playing Frisco on the edge, and is very believable in this undercover story. He is arrested for vehicular manslaughter when Tai dies, and jumps bail when he is released playing the man on the run. Yang is furious and goes after him, and Sean overhears and pulls him into hiding when Yang finds him and calls the police.
Frisco is able to convince Sean he is on the run and he is told that in order to work for Mr. Wu that he will have to prove his loyalty by kidnapping Robin. They set up a fake kidnapping and Anna is able to intervene and rescue Robin. Felicia is taken hostage and questioned all night. She is released with the ultimatum that if the black pearls aren’t returned within 24 hours that Frisco will be killed! Robert gets fake pearls to give to Mr. Wu to buy Frisco time. Before he can leave to make the exchange, Anna knocks Robert out and takes his place. Olin and her grandson, Suki, help Frisco escape. Kim (Mr. Wu’s grandson) shoots Frisco but Sean jumps in front of him and is shot instead. Yang tells Robert that Frisco was shot point blank and he doesn’t believe he could have survived that bullet. So everyone is told that Frisco is dead! Felicia doesn’t believe it and goes looking for Frisco’s body. She finds Olin who tells her that Frisco is alive and takes her to him.
Robert and Anna grieve over Frisco’s death and are immensely relieved when he shows up alive! Robert demands he turns Sean over to him but Frisco refuses saying Sean saved his life by taking a bullet meant for Frisco. Robert is determined to bring Sean in.
I continued to include every Robert, Anna, and Robin scene. I also included pretty much every Sean scene, a lot of the Mr. Wu and his grandson Kim’s actions, as well as showing Olin and her grandson Suki helping Frisco, I also included most of Frisco’s scenes as he takes on a dangerous undercover assignment to help Robert protect Robin and find out who killed Josh. So this is not just R&A scenes but follows the Asian Quarter storyline. Click here to read the full edit description.

Robert, Anna & Robin #7 October 31 – November 25, 1985
This edit contains the actual location scenes shot in a Chinatown that was used as Port Charles Asian Quarter, this authenticity really added to this storyline. I continued to include every Robert scene, every Anna scene, and every Robin scene. Robin overhears Robert and Anna talking about being her parents, she is hurt when she hears Robert say he doesn’t want to tell her yet. Robin runs away and hides out at GH.

Robert, Anna & Robin #8 November 26, 1985 – January 11, 1986
This edit contains the conclusion of the Asian Quarter storyline, Thanksgiving, goes through Anna becoming police commissioner, and Robert’s departure and a very sweet farewell between R&A at the airport. About five hours into the edit, the Laurelton murder mystery begins when a dead body is found in the brownstone. Anna begins the investigation and all clues lead to a Laurelton conspiracy, when Bobbie disappears on a trip there, Anna goes searching for her. The last four hours is primarily edited to Anna as Robert is off the show, a little Frisco but he is busy in the police academy, and Sean is off having an affair with Monica!
The video quality on this is good throughout, audio is good except for between about 5-7 hours when there is a background buzzing. This existed on the master episodes. The dialogue is still audible, though have to admit when it first begins its annoying though fortunately it softens and then disappears. After awhile, I did find I got used to it and was still able to hear and enjoy it. Click here to read the full edit description.

Anna #9 January 9 – Feb 25, 1986 – 8 hour original edit
This edit continues with Anna’s storyline as she investigates the Laurelton murder mystery. If you plan on watching this, I suggest you not read through all of the descriptions so you don’t spoil the suspense of the storyline. Robert is out of town so he is not on this edit. Sean is not on this much as he is off having an affair with Monica! I included all of the Anna scenes, and additional scenes as needed to follow the storyline. Though I tried to keep the focus on Anna’s investigation, I did include additional Teri, Kevin, Patrick, Ted & Jennifer and Laurelton location scenes as needed to tell the story and in order to follow the investigation. If you are interested in the full storyline, I would recommend complete episodes. The Laurelton storyline continues on the Anna #10. Click here to read the full edit description.

Anna & Robin #10 February 26 - April 16, 1986 - 8 hours
The Laurelton storyline beings towards the end of the 1985 #8 and continues through the Anna & Robin #11. I continued to include every Anna scene and every Robin scene. This edit has more Robin on it than the #9 (which had very little Robin), as Anna tries to balance being a single mom and her career responsibilities.
Anna pressures Buzz to allow her to listen to the tape of Teri's therapy session and tensions arise between them as he refuses. Teri also wants to listen to it and steals it from Buzz's desk. Anna takes it back from Teri and takes the opportunity to listen to the tape, which incriminates Teri. She has listened to part of the tape as well and is beginning to have a meltdown. She takes a number of sleeping pills and tries to light the gas stove for a cup of tea but falls asleep as gas pours into her apartment. Frisco smells the gas and she is rushed to GH.
Jennifer gives Teri a glass of milk and brandy and in her sleep she tells Jennifer who the murderer is. The next day, Jennifer disappears and her body is later found. Anna continues to investigate until she gets enough evidence to arrest Kevin for Jennifer's murder. Kevin's trial begins and Jake makes quick work of witness after witness. The mousy librarian, Lucy Coe, arrives in town as the prosecutions mysterious star witness. Click here to read the full edit description.

Anna & Robin #11 April 17 - June 3, 1986 - Laurelton Conclusion - 8 hours
This edit covers the conclusion of Laurelton storyline. I continued to include every Anna and ever Robin scene on this edit. The description below is primarily about Anna's storyline. While she is off chasing the bad guy, Robin is taken care of by Bobbie and Felicia. Often in a soap, the children are just forgotten but not with Robin. She continues to have her own storyline as she interacts with a variety of people in Port Charles while her mother is gone. Anna makes frequent phone calls home to talk to her daughter. I recommend that you not read any further for this description if you plan on watching these scenes as will ruin the mystery and the big finish to know what happens. The Laurelton storyline takes place on the Anna #8 (last half), the #9, 10, and #11 concludes it.
This edit continues with Kevin's trial and his acquittal for Jennifer's murder. Buzz is attacked and critically injured and Anna and Robin spend many hours at GH waiting with Buzz's friends for word on his condition. Jake stumbles upon a key hidden in Kevin's apartment that he realizes goes to Lucy's backdoor. He puts together Lucy's lies to get Kevin freed, and finds a page about Double Jeopardy hidden behind some wallpaper. Jake fills Frisco in on his suspicions. Buzz wakes up and is reunited with his relieved friends. Burt fills Anna in on Frisco and Jake's activities and she heads over to confront them. They immediately leave for Laurelton but just miss Kevin and Teri. Frisco figures out from information Lucy had that they went to Catalina Island and heads there.
This edit is full of gorgeous location shots in Catalina, the gang all go Scuba diving and there are several beautiful underwater sequences unlike anything on a daytime show. Frisco follows Kevin, Patrick, and Teri to the beach and when he sees them enter the water, he follows them. Frisco is attacked from behind and sent to the hospital in critical condition. Anna and Jake arrive on the island and continue to look for the O'Connors and for Frisco. They soon find that Frisco is in the hospital and rush to his side. They finally get a lead on the O'Connors whereabouts but when they arrive at the hotel, they learn that Teri attempted suicide and they have left the island. They are headed to a sanitarium on another island, and Jake and Anna follow them there. There is a big chase scene through another location shot, as they go through the hills, valleys, and meadows, ending in the death of a major character in this storyline and neatly wrapping up the storyline.

Duke, Anna & Robin #12 June 4 - July 15, 1986 - 8 hour original edit
This edit begins with the Policeman's Ball and Duke's arrival! This is the first edit in the Duke & Anna time frame.
There are cute scenes between Duke and Robin, fireworks between Anna and Duke as he relentlessy pursues her. Anna is one of Felicia's bridesmaids and Robin is her flower girl so bridal shopping, bridal shower, and F&F's wedding is included. There is a hostage drama at the Webbers involving bank robbers, Frisco, Lucy, Patrick ect. Anna and Burt figure out the hostage situation when Lucy tips them off and they head over to the Webbers. Duke is enchanted with Robin and gives her a set of bagpies and a complete Scottish outfit, pretty funny as Robin attempts to play the bagpipes (for days on end) to Anna's annoyance. Frisco is assigned to the dock area and is constant presence is putting a crimp in Angel's money laundering. Duke decides to set him up with a poker game without Frisco knowing that Duke is behind it and have him win big, the idea is to get him in their pocket so they can control him. Duke and Anna spar quite a bit but she begins to see the kind side of him who does geniunely care for the poor in the dock area and goes out of his way to help when needed. Their relationship takes a turning point when he confides in her after a dock worker is injured in an accident and it brings back a traumatic childhood memory of his father's own accident. Robin and Filomenia conveniently head to Australia to visit Robert giving Anna time home alone. Duke immediately heads over for dinner that night. Duke lets an obviously nervous Anna off the hook with a kiss on the forehead.
Overall video and audio quality is pretty good, an original edit from original episodes. I noticed a slight jump to the Fourth of July episode. There is NO Robert on this edit. He returns I believe in September and his return is related to the Duke & Anna storyline. Click here to read the full edit description.

Duke, Anna & Robin #13 July 15 - August 25, 1986 - 8 hour original edit
I have completed the next write up in the Duke and Anna series. They sleep together while Robin is away in Australia visiting her father. Duke and Anna exchange "I Love You's". Frisco continues to search for Stan, sure he is onto something but he has no idea how big it is. Anna suspects Frisco is investigating on his own and grows increasingly annoyed with him for not using teamwork, he is found at an illegal card game and is suspended for three weeks.

Duke, Anna & Robin #14 August 25 - October 2, 1986 - 8 hour original edit
This edit includes all of Duke's, all of Anna's, and all of Robert's scenes from the time he returns. The edit begins just after Frisco and Felicia have gone on the run after Duke set them up to protect them. Damon is after them as Felicia has an incriminating computer printout. Duke tries to get out of the organization but both Anna and Robin's lives are threatened and he has no choice but to cooperate in order to protect them. Duke works to protect Frisco and Felicia and Anna from Damon's wrath. Mr. B is revealed to be none other than Burt Ramsey! When Robin overhears some men in the park making threats against Anna's life, she calls her father for help. There is no Robert on the #14A dvd. Robert arrives back in town about an hour into the #14B dvd and he is on the last three hours of that dvd. Click here to read the full edit description.
