So they have Duke Lavery as Robin's captor. Duke Lavery was Anna Devaines love interest 20 years ago...even in our time! He came to town..forget how/why and he and Anna buddied up. Can't remember if they were married or not...not that it matters...but they were together and then he left or died or whatever it was...then he came back (same actor playing the part) and if memory serves, he turned out to be a double agent for the DBX against the WSB and he defected...and ended up getting killed in a building fire/shoot out. That was the last we heard of Duke. Now he is back. However this guy says...he was the first Duke, but then while his absence...he was in a jail or captivity held there by Julian Jerome (the first mob boss of PC!) He was in solitary and then a new guy was tossed in with him and they became "friends" and started talking about their lives to keep their sanity etc. Then the guy was taken away and Duke didn't hear about him again. THey are telling us that that guy was a plant and while with Duke in prison, he absorbed everything about Duke..and then when he knew everything, the was taken out and made the "Duke" plant to get back at Anna or whatever...they didn't really say why they needed a Duke double. Anyway, that Duke double was the one that died in the fire/shooting thing that Anna remembers as when her Duke died. Now he is telling her it wasn't him and saying things only she would know DDuke would know etc. Okay so fine, a boring character was brought back from the dead...AGAIN. But you know either he is lieing and HE is the double and the real Duke was the one that died that day or something...it has to be something not kosher as if he is the REAL Duke...why did he capture Robin and is keeping her in isolation and letting Anna believe she is dead? Why would the real Duke take Robin? Why would he put Anna through that if he professes to love her so much? Does he think she will stay with him when she finds out that he took Robin..regardless of the reason? So..something is not right, something is up and I can't stand either of those characters so I am not to excited about this new storyline, but what do you think? It will of course, deter Luke and Anna...tossing Luke back to Tracy. Why oh why won't they bring Robert back to stay for awhile!!!???? They plague us with self righteous, holier-than -thou, arrogant Anna over and over again...but they wont'give us hunky Robert and the occassional slim time they do they make him a stupid idiot without the sense of a goose.

I am not feeling this Duke guy as I don't trust him. Duke loved Robin and I don't see him holding Robin against her will and putting Anna through all that grieve. It looks like the writers are intertwining OLTL old stories with GH because this was Todd and Victor Manning story before it went off the air. Todd was held against his will for 8 years while the imposter took over his life and his family. When the real Todd returned, people had a hard time believing him. I am curious to see where this story will lead and it will be a nice break from MOB world. Love Sonny but it gets tiresome to see the same story lines with him: Enemy try to kill him, bad weddings and so forth.

I agree I don't even remember this guy and it brings down the whole show. They should bring Robert back and show some of his adventures.

Robert Scorpio is my all time favorite character on GH....and I have been watching since 1969! Alan Quartermaine is my next fav! And they dumped both of them! I should revolt and stop watching! But they bring Robert back for a very short stint now and then...and they just make him so stupid it is a mockery of how great the character was! Lavery has no character...didn't before either. Robert...heck even Luke that I dont like...has character about him and keeps the character from being to terribly boring! But I dont' see much for Lavery...he has no "employment"...he was WBS double agent with DBX I beleive... or he was DBX and Anna was WSB and he defected to WSB...something like that.

I missed probably all of the Duke Laverly stories so I don't know much about him. But, so far I don't like him. And then he took Robin who I do like. I really don't understand why they brought him back. He is as you say boring.
