Memory Lane
McCullough’s tenure in the role (1985-96, 1997, 1998-99, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005-12, 2013-14, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2018, 2021; on GH: Night Shift, 2007-08) will forever be highlighted by Robin’s diagnosis with HIV as a teenager, contracted via unprotected sex with her first love, Stone Cates, who died of AIDS in 1995. The storyline received mainstream attention and was praised for bringing in-depth exposure to both illnesses, while focusing on treating people with compassion despite fears and prejudice.
Robin was also in several popular romances during her time in Port Charles. After Stone’s passing, she fell in love with Jason Morgan, then with Patrick Drake, who she would go on to marry (more than once) and with whom she welcomed two children, Emma and Noah.

She has worked on hit series like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Fantasy Island (where she directed former Bold and Beautiful star Kiara Barnes, who played Zoe Buckingham) and more.
