Robert, Holly, Robin & Anna
#1 April 10 – May 16, 1985 – "Anna Arrives" - 8 hrs
This edit begins as Robert is
hunting for Slater. Robert beings to suspect that Sean has stolen the treasure
and Sean is working hard to ease Robert's suspicions. Anna is introduced as the
fence that Slater approaches to sell the jewels to. Robert is honored and paid
tribute to at a dinner in NY, many of his friends from Port Charles attend. Anna
sits down next to Robert at the hotel bar and later arrives as a guest in his
house, supposedly sent there by Holly's nanny. Robert is furious when he finds
Anna in his home. Slater shoots Sean as he and Robert pursue him. Sean realizes
that Anna is Robert's new houseguest after he recognizes her perfume. Sean gives
Anna a job as his secretary. Anna sets up Holly to be found with stolen property
and she is arrested but finally her name is cleared and the charges are dropped.
Robert and Anna have flashbacks of their past together from meeting, their first
mission together, and they sleep together for the first time (still in flashback
mode).
I
included every Robert scene, every Holly scene, and every Anna scene during this
time frame. There is also a lot of Sean's storyline to show him plotting and
trying to stay a step ahead of Robert. This is my original edit and it is 8
hours. I had great fun doing this edit, its been years since I've watched this
time frame and this storyline was very well done. They showed a whole series of
flashbacks that was its own self-contained storyline showing the early history
of Robert & Anna, I had forgotten how detailed and how well done this was.

Treasure. Robert uses the cover of Celia and Jimmy Lee's engagement
party to search Sean's warehouse and finds the jewels. Robert bugs
Sean's office and gets proof that he and Anna are in on the stolen
jewels together. Robert confronts Anna and Sean about the treasure but
when he goes to retrieve it, it has been stolen! All three start
accusing each other. Robert and Anna eventually make peace over their
past when Robert gets proof that Anna did the last double agent job in
order to save Robert's life as the DVX threatened to kill Robert if she
didn't. Sean does have three pieces of the treasure in his safe, Friso
and Felicia sneak into his penthouse and steal them, Robert returns with
a search warrant and now Sean is shocked when those pieces are missing
after he had just offered to turn them over to Robert. Robert is tired
of his lies, he goes home and finally tells Holly that Anna was his

This
edit continues with the Aztec storyline, Robert and Anna pretend they are
involved in a romance (with much kissing and snuggling) so that Robert can ditch
the tail that Sean has put on him. Grant realizes that Sean has double crossed
him by moving the treasure without telling him and he goes over to Robert's side
and joins their team. They all join the wedding train action as much of the cast
don Gay 90's costumes, for a train ride up the eastern seaboard that culminates
in Grant and Celia's wedding. Frisco, Felicia, Robert, Anna, and Grant work
together to figure out what Sean is up to and to try to stay one step ahead of

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

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.

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

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 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. 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.

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.
