Watch an Extended Version of Thursday's 'General Hospital' Episode

Patrick and Robin remarried on Thursday's GH.

On Thursday's episode of ABC soap opera General Hospital, Robin, Patrick and Emma said goodbye to Port Charles and headed for California. ABC has now released a special extended cut with never-before-seen footage, which adds a few additional minutes.

It was the final episode for actor Jason Thompson, who quit GH after playing Dr. Patrick Drake for 10 years. Thompson will soon be debuting as the new Billy Abbott on CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. It was also the last scheduled appearances for Kimberly McCullough and Brooklyn Rae Silzer. McCullough has played Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake on and off since 1985, while Silzer is the wonderful child actress who has warmed our hearts as Robin and Patrick's daughter, Emma, since 2011. They will hopefully be back.

It was a beautiful sendoff for a family unit torn apart over the past few years, complete with a magnificent montage of scenes from the past decade near the end.

Also on Thursday, January 7 episode, Laura advised Tracy to take some time for herself, Nikolas was advised to move on without Hayden, and Tracy stepped up her quest to regain control of ELQ.

Watch the extended cut at ABC.com.

Brooklyn Rae Silzer on Leaving 'General Hospital' (For Now): "I Would Really Love To Come Back"

Patrick (Jason Thompson), Emma (Brooklyn Rae Silzer) and Robin
(Kimberly McCullough) are leaving Port Charles today.

General Hospital's Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Robin (McCullough) are remarrying and moving to California with daughter, Emma, on Thursday. Brooklyn Rae Silzer, who plays Emma on GH, is ending her run with this episode.

"I am very sad about her moving but I understand that this was the best way to write our story since Jason was leaving," the young actress, who began playing Emma in 2011, tells Soap Opera Digest. Thompson and Silzer's final air date is todaybut she hopes that it isn't long before Emma sets foot back in Port Charles. "I would really love to come back," she says. "My Grandma Anna has a huge house now and she might be lonely and need to see Emma! We could have super-long sleepovers!”

Would you like to see Silzer return for visits? Do you think GH will give us a sexy teenage Emma before too long? I have to admit, this is one character I really don't want to see SORASed. Weigh in below in the Comments section.

Top 13 Child Actors on Daytime Soap Operas

Daytime dramas have featured great child actors over the years including Emmy winners Kimberly McCullough, Martha Byrne, Camryn Grimes, Brian Bloom, Justin Gocke and Andy Kavovit, and many more. The current crop of young actors on soap operas is holding their own, with General Hospital leading the way with its Cameron-Emma-Spencer love triangle. Check out our list of the Top 13 child actors currently working in Daytime below.

The best of the best:

1. Brooklyn Rae Silzer (Emma Drake, General Hospital)

Silzer can play happy and sad, emotional scenes equally well. Heck, she even pulled off Dyna Girl last Halloween. She reminds us a lot of Emma's mother, Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough), at the same age. Working with pros like Jason Thompson and Finola Hughes will only make her better.
