I'm watching the Summer Fate stuff now and I'm so disgusted that everyone (Chrissie included) blames Robert at least partially for what happened.
Chrissie (to Rob): "None of this would've happened if it wasn't for you. Their blood is on your hands as much as it's on mine."
No matter how angry and upset Rob made Chrissie over the affair and his lies she chose to light his car on fire and didn't stop or care to think about the consequences of that action. A car can literally explode when it's on fire. Not to mention the scrapyard was like right near Eric's and Wishing Well the fire could have spread and taken down their houses and or killed someone.
Rob being a cheat doesn't absolve Chrissie from the actions she took that day nor does it mean Rob is responsible for any of it. He was the one trying to stop Chrissie from lighting the fire, he also saved Adam, and then tried to help Chrissie directly afterwards.
I know I'm biased and protective over Rob because I love him but I also know he's done a lot of messed up stuff too. I just hate when he gets treated like a total villain or blamed for stuff he didn't even do. The helicopter accident was on Chrissie and she's the one who had to live with that not Rob.
I also think that people who hate Rob would do well to remember that their favs have made mistakes too. Back in the day I used to see fans of Charity, Chrissie, etc talking about how much better they were than Rob and it's like no they've hurt people too. They've lied and cheated and schemed and messed up just as much as any other soap character.
