The actress posted a poignant pic of Robin and Stone with the caption: “25 years ago today, I experienced what would become my finest moment as an actor. My character Robin Scorpio lost her first love Stone Cates (Michael Sutton) to AIDS.”
She continued: “The love that poured through us that day was a reflection of the best of us, when we can see through the prejudice, and the fear of a disease and treat the person experiencing deterioration with compassion. Telling stories can be a vehicle for enlightenment and yes, even soap operas can change the world. I believe we did that with the story of Robin and Stone.”

Robin contracted HIV from Stone after the pair had sex and did not use a condom. Robin has lived with the virus that causes AIDS for her adult life and is now a successful doctor and mother of two. The storyline was an inspiration to millions of fans and the impetus for the Annual Nurses Ball storyline.
Michele Val Jean was the GH writer responsible for the amazing and she remembered the scene in a tweet saying, “One of the scripts I’m most proud of. Wrote the ‘Robin I see you’ moment through the ugly cry. This storyline is iconic now but #ClaireLabine and @canyoncatz had to fight for it and a lot of viewers tuned out. Claire was determined to tell it though.”
