Brief Character History
Robin came to Port Charles with her mother Anna Devane and grandmother
Filomena in 1985 when she was seven years old. At the time Robert Scorpio was
unaware that he had even fathered a child. It didn't take long for her to
become the apple of her fathers eye.
Anna was very close to her stepfather, Duke Lavery, and his death devastated
her.
In 1990 Robin found a crystal on Spoon Island and showed it on a television
program that was watched by her parents arch enemy Cesar Faison who wanted
the crystal. One night the crystal lit up Robin's room and Casey, an alien
from Lumina appeared. Robin's mother decided to help Casey find his way back
home and consequently Anna, Robin, and Casey were kidnapped by Faison. Of
course Robert rescued them and eventually her parents were reunited and the
Scorpio family moved into the old Webber house.
In 1992 Faison kidnapped Anna, and Robert went after her leaving his brother
Mac as guardian to Robin. There was a boat explosion and it was assumed that
Robert, Anna and Faison were all killed. It took nearly 10 years for Robin to
learn her mother was alive.
Robin went to work for a teen hotline and had a crush on Jason Quartermaine
who only had eyes for Karen Wexler. Karen eventually ended up with Jagger
Cates who had a rebellious brother Stone who was working for mobster Sonny
Corinthos.
Robin then developed a crush on Stone, which upset Mac immensely. Stone told
Robin he had been tested for AIDS and had tested negative however he never
followed up with the test six months later. Initially when Robin and Stone
had sex they did use protection however eventually they had unprotected sex.
It was eventually learned he had full blown AIDS.
He was terrified to tell Robin. However when he was shot in the leg when
helping to break Frank Smith out of jail, his blood got all over Robin; he
freaked and ended up telling her that he had AIDS. Robin loved Stone and
taught him many things before his death. Robin was tested for HIV and the
first time she was negative, however when she had the follow up test she
tested positive. She didn't want to tell Stone as he was on his deathbed but
decided there had never been any secrets in life between them. So, somewhat
reluctantly, she told him. After Stone died Robin befriended the brain
damaged Jason Quartermaine Morgan and they eventually became lovers. However
when they were shot at in her house and Jason was in the hospital Robin
realized she couldn't bear to lose another person that she loved and gave him
an ultimatum, either he quit working for Sonny or she would leave to go to
school in Paris and their relationship would be over. Jason opted to continue
working for Sonny as he felt that he only placed Robin in danger. Robin then
left for Paris.
Robin returned in the fall of 1997 at the request of Jasper "Jax" Jacks, to
help Brenda recover from her breakdown at the loss of Sonny. Once Robin
returned to Port Charles, though, she realized that she did not want to go
back to Paris. She missed her family and friends, but most of all, she missed
Jason. The two reunited, and -- much to her Uncle Mac's dismay -- Robin
decided to drop out of Yale University and move in with Jason.
Robin befriended Nikolas Cassadine, sharing a common bond of missing parents
and having to age much earlier than they may have wished. However, his
feelings for her were always stronger than hers for him. In early 1998, she
learned old friend Tony Jones had kidnapped Jason's son Michael. Tony
kidnapped her, and, unable to get her HIV medication for her, Robin nearly
died before Jason rescued her. She continued to support Tony, even testifying
for him at his kidnapping trial; he and Alan were 2 of the few people Robin
shared warm goodbyes with as she left town.
When Jason and Robin eventually reunited, they first lived in his penthouse,
then they moved into Brenda's old cottage with Michael. Then Carly got out of
the mental hospital and moved in as well. Robin and Carly did not get along,
and soon Robin had enough. She broke up with Jason and planned to return to
Paris. After extreme taunting from Carly, told AJ that he was really
Michael's father. She told Jason she wanted to stop his pain, stop his
dependency on Michael, but Jason and Sonny took this as a huge betrayal.
Jason and Robin met a final time at their bridge, and he told her it would be
far less painful if he never had to see her face again. She then left town.
In 2000, she returned to speak at the Nurses Ball. Her friendly greeting to
Sonny turned sour after realizing he and Carly were involved. She and Carly
viciously argued, and Robin told Sonny she had lost all respect for him.
In 2001, Robin came to Pine Valley when she learned
her presumed-dead mother, Anna, was alive. An amnesiac Anna had a memory
flash of her daughter, and they tearily reunited. Robin met Anna's twin
sister, Alex. Robin learned Anna had no memory of whether Robert was alive or
dead; Anna learned Robin was studying to be a doctor, and that Robin was
HIV-positive. Robin wanted Anna to return to Paris with her, but Anna had to
stay in hiding because of people trying to kill her. Robin angrily wondered
why Anna kept coming back into her life only to leave her each time. They
made up, Anna promising to see her as soon as the danger passed. Robin gave
her a bracelet, they embraced, and Robin retrurned to Paris.
Robin was briefly mentioned in January of 2003 when her stepfather, Dr. David
Hayward, called her up. Robin spoke with Anna and decided to accompany Anna
while she traveled to Switzerland to seek care for problems she was having
with her pregnancy. In September of 2003, Anna left Pine Valley to see Robin in Paris.
Robin returned to Port Charles in summer 2004 to attend Lila Quartermaine's funeral. She ran into various old and new faces (Courtney, Brook Lyn, Jax, Alan, etc.) and finally Jason himself. She discussed all the time she was spending with her mother in Europe and that she was glad to see he was spending time with the Quartermaines. Jason thanked her for making him realize how important family was. A peace seemed to settle between them, a final way of saying goodbye, as they walked into the church to say goodbye to a woman they both loved and respected.
In 2005, Robin was working as a doctor in Paris when she was contacted in regards to her work with experimental memory drugs. They were hoping she would have a drug that could help Jason. Robin agreed to come home briefly to treat Jason. Her biggest problem? She never stopped loving him.
