Kimberly McCullough/Robin Scorpio's bio on GH: NIght Shift

Actor/Character Bio on SoapNet's Night Shift




Kimberly McCullough
as Robin Scorpio

Born: Bellflower, California
DOB: March 5, 1978
Sign: Pisces

Personal: Kimber, as friends call her, couldn't have started her career much younger: Her first job was a diaper ad when she was all of seven months. She's also a talented dancer, and this California girl loves to surf. A romantic who wants to learn from her mistakes, Kimber wears a special ring for each long-term relationship she's had. Though single, she was once engaged to Freddie Prinze Jr.

Professional: Kimber's first role was in 1984's "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo." The next year she appeared on "General Hospital" as little girl Robin Scorpio, staying with the soap until '97. She returned to "General Hospital" in 2005 -- all grown up and a doctor too. Her character has also appeared on the spin-offs "Port Charles" and "General Hospital: Night Shift."

She's done plenty of other TV work, including guest turns on "ER," "Judging Amy," "Crossing Jordan," and "CSI." Kimber also had featured roles in "Once and Again," "The Shield," and "Joan of Arcadia." Her movie work includes 1991's "Bugsy" (with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening), "Consenting Adults" (with Kevin Kline), and "Legally Blonde."

Did You Know? Kimber, whose character is HIV-positive, is a committed AIDS activist.

Debut: 2007
Occupation: Pathologist
Motivation: Overcoming her troubles by staying upbeat.

This girl's come a long way. As a teen, she got wrapped up with Stone Cates and wound up with HIV. Stone's death crushed Robin.

She took up with Jason during his illness, but his iffy lifestyle choices -- you know, like being a mobster -- forced her to throw him over and run off to Paris (where she became a doctor). Nice work if you can get it. Jason's not out of her life for good, though. We don't blame her for being a sucker for that guy.

Paris and Port Charles both call to her. She bounced back and forth, until Jason needed her medical expertise and she weighed anchor Stateside for good. This plucky physician can handle anything tossed her way -- virus outbreaks and hostage situations, even briefly bringing Laura Spencer out of her coma. Robin's HIV status has created a lot of drama on the job, but even more in her affairs of the heart: She and hot-shot surgeon Patrick Drake define on-again, off-again. But now they're connected like never before because Robin's got a baby on the way.

Our Take
: HIV doesn't define Robin -- she does.

Your Take
: Will Patrick and Robin ever just be happy?
