It is "Father's Day" here at TVGuide.com. Just hours after I posted
the scoop on Papa Walton playing Gibbs' dad on
NCIS, this other paternity reveal hit my desk:
Eric Braeden of
The Young and the Restless fame has scored a gig on
How I Met Your Mother, playing Robin's father. His name? Robin Charles Scherbatsky, Sr.
(Apparently Alan Thicke is only Robin
Sparkles' dad, in the "Sandcastles in the Sand" video.)
The storyline set-up: As Ted and the gang hide in a restaurant from... er, someone, they each take turns recounting the one person they would most hate to run into. Robin's pick is her pop, seeing as she has Daddy issues - in that hers always wanted her to be a boy.
I believe I speak for all of red-blooded malekind when I say, "Thank goodness she wasn't." -
