Robin Scorpio grew up before "General Hospital" fans' eyes as the audience saw her through a variety of heartbreaking journeys. Her first love, Stone Cates (Michael Sutton), died from AIDS when she was still in her teens, with Robin learning that she was also HIV positive. As Robin learned to live with HIV thanks to new medical breakthroughs, she fell in love with mafia hitman Jason Morgan, but their life together was never going to work out, according to Soaps In Depth.

She eventually left Port Charles to study in Paris and when she returned, she had earned her medical degree and needed to save Jason's life. That's when she called in a top neurologist, Dr. Patrick Drake, son of Dr. Noah Drake (Rick Springfield), who worked at the hospital in the early 1980s. Like Noah, Patrick was a playboy and he and Robin bickered all the time. However, they also fell in love but ran into a snag when Robin told Patrick she wanted children and Patrick told Robin that he did not. Well, fate had other plans because when Robin and Patrick finally slept together, she became pregnant.
