    As much as I love Brooklyn Rae Silzer and her portrayal of Emma… it seems that the best thing for the show would be to have her leave with Patrick and Robin and then at some point, for some reason, bring her back. There is NO WAY.. NOTHING that would make Patrick leave Emma behind. It would be completely inconsistent with his character. So unless they kill both Robin and Patrick… have them take their daughter and then find a plausible way to bring her back.

    I agree that it would be out of character for Patrick to leave Emma. My stomach turns at the thought that she will be parent less. I love her! I’ll play Robin just to have a parent for Emma!

    if robin & patrick leave together then they should take emma with them – if she stays in port charles she either has to live with anna which i can’t see because anna didn’t even raise robin OR she will live with amc which is not fair because he raised robin…………………..

    If Emma stays behind she will probably stay with Anna or Sabrina! I will hate to see her leave as she is a sweet heart!

    Please don’t end Patrick’s story line. Replace him. He is needed in the script. Maybe he and Elizabeth can come together.

    Patrick would never leave Emma! Poor Emma will be a confused abandoned child who parents didn’t want to stay with her. If the writers keep this up.
