Robin Scorpio:

When Faison kidnapped Anna again, Robert went to find her, leaving Robin in the care of his brother Mac. It was presumed that Anna, Robert, and Faison were all killed in a boat explosion.

A teenaged Robin fell for Jagger Cate's brother, Stone. Stone had lived on the streets; though he was negative for AIDS, he never took a follow-up test. After they had unprotected sex, Stone found out he had HIV. He did not tell Robin until he was shot and his blood splattered on her. Robin tested positive for HIV. Blinded by AIDS, right before he died, Stone saw Robin one last time.

Robin later fell in love with Jason Morgan. Fearing more loss, she opposed his working for Sonny. When Jason refused to break his connection with Sonny, Robin left for school in Paris. During a visit to Port Charles, she reunited with Jason.

Jason was caring for Carly's son, Michael, claiming to be his father. Carly was institutionalized. When she was released, she moved in with Jason and Robin. Robin made the decision to return to Paris. When she learned that Michael was Jason's brother A.J.'s child, she told A.J. Sonny and Jason turned against Robin.

Robin found her mother alive in Pine Valley. When Jason needed help, she returned to Port Charles for good to treat him with the experimental drug she had been working on.

Robin was on a protocol that kept her viral load undetectable, so she was living with HIV. At GH, she met an arrogant doctor, Patrick Drake. The two fell in love and moved in together. A real ladies' man, Patrick found commitment difficult. When Robin wanted to have a baby, she decided to go to a sperm bank. However, she became pregnant with Patrick's child. Finally, the couple decided to marry. Baby Emma arrived during the wedding, so it was necessary to re-wed after Christmas 2008.

During her pregnancy and marriages, Robin had the support of her parents, Robert and Anna, Robert having turned up alive after Anna did.

Robin initally found motherhood difficult and suffered from post-partum depression. She came out of that, and Emma has been a source of joy for her, as has her marriage. When illness struck, she feared that her HIV had become full-blown AIDS and that she wasn't going to make it. But she did. After everything that she overcame, Robin was kidnapped by Faison and thought to be dead. Faison disguised himself as Duke Lavery, with the intention of getting back into Anna's life, bringing Robin home, and being Anna's hero. It hasn't worked out that way.
