[edit] Brief Character History

[edit] Introduction

This HIV-positive doctor has faced obstacles that would shatter any person. She was orphaned at 12, diagnosed with HIV and lost her first love, Stone Cates, to AIDS at 17, and lost her best friend, Brenda Barrett at 19 (though both her parents and Brenda would later turn out to be alive).

[edit] Early Years

Robin Soltini came to Port Charles when she was just six years old with her grandmother Filomena Soltini and friend "Luv" (in reality it was her mother Anna). Robert Scorpio had no idea that he had fathered a child during the time he and Anna were married but it didn't take long for him to realize that Robin Soltini was really Robin Scorpio. When Anna and Robert were presumed dead after a boat explosion that occurred at the hands of Cesar Faison, Robert's brother Mac became Robin's legal guardian. When Mac married Felicia Jones, this union gave Robin two step-cousins, Maxie and Georgie Jones.

[edit] Robin's Teenage and College Years

As a teenager, Robin became involved with Stone Cates but it didn't last long because Stone died from AIDS (with Robin at his side) and it was discovered that Robin herself was HIV positive. After Stone died Robin started a relationship with Jason Morgan, whom she had had a crush on for a while. Robin and Jason had a difficult relationship due to his involvement with mobster Sonny Corinthos. During one of her many "break up" periods with Jason, Robin became friends with Nikolas Cassadine and the two bonded over their similar childhoods. Despite the burgeoning feelings that were developing between them, Robin was still in love with Jason and the two reunited. To this day Nikolas' remains one of her closest friends. However, it did not last. Robin was unable to come to terms with Jason's mob life-style and she left Port Charles to attend school in Paris. In 1997, Robin returned to Port Charles to help her friend Brenda Barrett, who was suffering from a mental breakdown. In doing so, she reunited with her former flame Jason and moved in with him to help him raise his infant son Michael. Robin left again after revealing that Michael was not really Jason's son, but was in fact his brother A.J.'s - a betrayal that Jason was unable to forgive. In 2001, Robin made an appearance on ABC's All My Children to reunite with her mother, Anna Devane, whom she had believed had died in the boat explosion. She returned to Paris where she completed medical school.

[edit] Dr. Robin Scorpio

In October of 2005, Robin returned to Port Charles as a doctor to help treat her former love Jason. She met his current girlfriend, Sam McCall, as they were both involved in a train wreck (during the November sweeps.) In helping him, Robin enlisted the help of neurosurgeon Dr. Noah Drake (played by Rick Springfield) and his son Dr. Patrick Drake, who is a neurosurgeon. Together, they were able to save Jason, and Robin made the decision to stay in Port Charles, citing that she enjoyed being around her family, particularly her uncle Mac and his two daughters Maxie and Georgie, again. Before long though, early into the year of 2006, another crisis erupted in Port Charles when a virus outbreak hit General Hospital, threatening Robin and her already-weakened immune system. Patrick Drake made the difficult (and potentially unethical) decision to save her life. She also found out that her father, Robert Scorpio, was alive, when she found him snooping around General Hospital during this time, claiming to be with an agency called "MRA"(Medical Rescue Agency) who were trying to contain\stop the virus. Later on, from her step-cousin Maxie Jones she learned the true paternity of John Jacks, whom everyone believed was the son of Courtney Matthews and her ex-husband Jasper "Jax" Jacks, but Nikolas Cassadine was actually the father. At first Robin struggled with whether or not to tell Nikolas the truth as keeping John's paternity a secret protected him from the control of his evil grandmother Helena Cassadine and losing Jax's friendship. Eventually however the close friendship she developed with Nikolas outweighed the possibility of the threat of Helena and she told him the truth. Nikolas was grateful to Robin for giving him his son. Jax wasn't mad at Robin because he didn't want the baby's life to be a lie, but Robin's arch enemy Carly Corinthos was furious.

For most of 2006, Robin has had to deal with not only her complicated relationship with Patrick Drake but trying to mend the relationship between herself and her parents. She is also trying to help Luke Spencer get his wife and the great love of his life, Laura Spencer on an experimental drug to help cure her. Robin's exploits worked and Laura recovered, temporarily from her catatonic state in mid-October. However the following month Laura slipped back into her catatonia. As a result Robin has vowed not to let her patients get up their hopes and has developed an uncharacteristicly brutal bedside manner because of this.

In February 2007, Robin was shot in the stomach during a hostage situation at the metro court. Emily Quartermaine, with the assistance of Carly Corinthos and Patrick Drake (via telephone), saved Robin's life. At the culmination of the hostage crisis, Robin's friend, Nikolas Cassadine, carried Robin out of the Metro Court to safety. She underwent a real surgery to remove the bullet in her abdomen.

On March 5, 2007, she was released from the hospital and was brought home to her Uncle Mac's house to recuperate.

On March 13, 2007, she attempted to get her life back to normal and go to work. But she was told to leave by Dr. Russle Ford, despite both Patrick's and Monica's words of assurance that she would be able to handle being back at work so soon after her surgury. She gave in and left the hospital.

Later, she was sitting on the pier, thinking, when Patrick showed up. He said that he was looking for her and she replied that she had run out of private thinking spots. Patrick said that he tried the park first and had hoped that she had gone there instead of the pier where there were many stairs.

Robin and Patrick made up and discussed "therapy" options. In the end, Patrick carried her home.


[edit] The Demise of "Scrubs"?

On March 26, Robin and Patrick argued over her decision to not move back into his apartment with him. She then went over to Wyndemere to see Nickolas and ask if she could possibly stay with him. Nik wasn't home at the time, and as she riffled through his desk to find a paper to leave a note, she was stopped by Mr. Craig, who is blackmailing Prince Cassadine. When Nik returned home, he found Robin tending to Craig's wound and found out that Criag decided that Robin might be useful in his blackmail plot and plan to upset the balence of Port Charles. Craig instructed Robin to go about her normal life and to not draw attention to herself. Also, that she wasn't to tell anybody--especially Patrick--and if she did, Patrick's life would be in danger. Robin went about his instructions and got into a fight with Patrick. On March 29, Patrick went over to Wyndemere and demanded that Nik tell him what was going on. Nik hesitated and Robin walked in. She could see Craig out of the corner of her eye, holding a gun and fearing for Patrick's life, lied to him and basically told him that they were history. Later, Craig decided that it would be fun to watch Emily and Patrick suffer by having Robin and Nikolas play at a very public love affair. They agreed, fearing for their loved one's lives. At the end of the day, Alexis walked into Wyndemere, stopping dead in her tracks when she saw Robin and Nik in a very delicate position on the couch. The two brushed it off as though it were nothing, but Alexis is clearly very suspicious.
