ROBIN FLIES HOME! (Soaps In Depth 9/27/05)
Much to fans' delight, Kimberly McCullough is returned to her Emmy-winning
role of Robin Scorpio on Genearl Hospital. Will the return of Jason's first
post-brain damage love be the worst news possible for Sam?
The In Depth Story: "I don't know," laughs McCullough, who
was recently made aware of the group of hardcore Jason/Robin fans who have
wanted them back together again after their six-year seperation. "I hear
that they're very excited about Sam and Jason, too. [Co-headwriter] Bob Guza
told me that they were the most famous couple in daytime right now." Jason
and Sam aside, McCullough is thrilled about being back under contract (for
an undisclosed period of time) at GH. "I am filled with eager anticipation
to return to the role of Robin Scorpio. It is so flattering to know that,
after all these years, GH fans are still excited about Robin coming back
to Port Charles. I can't wait to be back with my family again."
While storyline details are sketchy, one thing is certain -- Robin's return
was designed to create a little havoc in Jason and Sam's relationship. Robin,
who has been living in Paris, gets a call saying she is needed urgently back
in Port Charles. Once home again, she immediately crosses paths with her
former love, Jason.
It wasn't so much the storyline itself that excited McCullough enough to
bring her back to the show she started on when she was 7 -- it was returning
to her "home" and the idea of working side by side with Steve Burton (Jason)
and Maurice Benard (Sonny) again. "They said that they'll have me working
with those guys...and that was enough for me," McCullough smiles. "They did
say I was coming back as a doctor, though. That's exciting for me because
most of the roles I play, I'm, like, 18," adds the 27-year-old with a laugh.
"I just don't know if I'll be able to keep my nose ring as a doctor!" The
actress will first air on Wednesday, October 12.
