I never thought they'd make Robin HIV+. Sweet, innocent, little Robin with HIV? Never! I was floored when she was positive! This was one of the best and most important storylines on TV...not just soaps, on ALL of TV. GH handled this beautifully! I was very young at the time and learned SO much about HIV/AIDS from GH.
@@renealexander2703 She's lived a full and by many accounts happy life. She pursued her dream career, found love, and was able to have children like she always wanted. Her story impacted millions and showed that under the right (albeit, privileged) circumstances, HIV is no longer a death sentence. I simply don't know what there is to hate about something that can offer hope to others facing similar circumstances.
@@arianapuzzo7827 , I just don't like Robin, my favorite character, having HIV. Why would I be happy about the character I love having HIV? That doesn't make sense.
@@renealexander2703 you don't have to be jumping for joy, and certainly at the time I'm sure every Robin fan was devastated, but she gained a sense of empowerment with it. It was devastating yet there was collateralized beauty that her character got to be front and center for such well done and well-received stories that undoubtedly saved lives. And the reality of it is, that's down to the writing and Kimberly's abilities so I'm glad it was her character who navigated it. She gave a face to HIV/AIDS on Daytime Television and became a positive, non-stereotyped image.
This was GH at it's best. This was when I actually liked Sonny. And the fact that so many characters came together in this storyline to support Stone and Robin. Just amazing storytelling.
Kim won but Michael did not and I will never understand that They all deserved to win an Emmy for this entire storyline Jacklyn and Brad were robbed too of the BJ s/l
@@angelacurry2710 I agree. Kim definitely deserved to win, but how Michael Sutton did not win I will never understand... same with Maurice... sometimes I really think these award show are fixed or a popularity contest because how Kim was never nominated during her Scrub years, and she had some great story lines and outstanding performances during the error with Patrick, I don't understand how she didn't even get one nomination during all those years... makes absolutely no sense.
Hearing lil Robin is HIV positive was heart breaking. She handling it like a CHAMP! But, Brenda had me in some REAL tears 😭, LAWD! S&B had me in my REAL feelings, tho. Sonny was right there to catch her when she fell.
I liked sonny and robin friendship on gh back then they loved,cared about each other a lot sonny could not believe that robin had h.i.v and even sonny told Brenda about robin thier acting was good in this scene i felt it
Watching these scenes you can understand why Robin and Sonny were close and continued to be as long as KMc is on the show. Even Patrick eventually comes to accept Sonny as a part of Robin's life. By the time JT decided to leave and they reactivated the NB Patrick learns to accept Sonny for who he is. This was an important story to tell and GH brings it up throughout the years, instead of dropping the shoes about Robin's HIV status, when she returned in 2005 and whenever she returns for short stints.
Those were the best days of GH...best days of S&B...wish we could get them this close and loving again....I truly miss those days!!!! Please bring them back again!!! I feel like even Robin and Sonny are falling apart!!! What has happened to GH??
Baby, Sonny could not wait to console Brenda. When Brenda pulled away Sonny was like wait. Brenda is better than me cause I would have been curled up in Sonny's lap crying. #FACTS
Ditto. I consider this to be the golden age for General Hospital. I'm sure others have their ideas of what the golden age was for them but this is it for me. And I'm not afraid to assume that nobody would think Sonny was any less a tough guy if he'd fallen to his knees crying over all of this.
I think that Mac holds back a lot even now, with sonny. Because of his emotional ties to sonny, Stone and Robin. that will always be something they have in common.
Sonny rarely shows his softer side to anyone, he is always that way with Robin though. With what is going on right now for Sonny in 2010 it would be a good time for Stone's ghost to appear and give him some comfort. He is losing his kids, and now jason is going to prison, grantead some of it he brought on himself but to lose your kids and best friend, sucks. I hope Robin is there for him, now would be a perfect time for Stone or Brenda to comfort him too.
It is one of the main reasons I can't watch the show anymore. Years ago it was a show worth investing in. It was a show that had some dignity, humanity and good drama.
Brenda was actually the one who was staying away from Sonny he kept finding excuses to drop by the gatehouse. She was doing good too, I all most felt she could get over Sonny. GLAD SHE DIDN'T! Brenda and lil Robin are TRUE BFF's, Lois fell off during this time. SMH!
Mac and Sonny are amazing in these scenes. They are on opposite sides of the law yet they come together in this horrible tragedy for Stone and Robin. I wish they didnt just act like they hated each other now all the time. Sonny has lost his soft side, it was killed in by the like of Carly. She ruined Sonny and Jason.
Seriously? You're going to blame Carly for Sonny and Jason's character? Not the fact that they are adults, and most people get more jaded as they get older?
I also hate how in all of this robins death story luke doesnt share anything or have flashbacks. he was her fathers b/f and when he came back to town kept his eye on her and was there for her. Now its like they have no history, he shoulda spoke about robin at the funeral and not just read roberts letter
ha! We ALL know THAT's true! Yes, she needs to come back... unfortunately, I saw a youtube clip where she was accepting an award and said she was (AND I QUOTE): "Appalled the lack of care" given to these soaps and said there is a better solution for fixing the show rather than just cancelling them. She said something like that, anyway:-) If I find the vid, I'll share it with you. I think that was last year or something.
Please, does anyone have the scene in which Robin tells Stone that she's HIV positive? I don't actually watch General Hospital, it's never aired in my country, but I'm really taken with these clips of Stone's storyline; much better than I ever imagined. Michael Sutton has already made me laugh and cry multiple times! And I'm really curious about that scene, only I can't seem to find it... Help anyone?
@SonnyBrendaFan I know what you mean. The show's quality came to a hault at the tail end of 98 when they messed with Jason, robin and Sonny and killed off Brenda, Aj and a few of the other Q's. It just isn't the same anymore I try watching now but it isn't interesting enough. I have some hope becuz i heard Vanessa is coming back, Who knows though. IF they were smart they'd put the fab4 back.
@JASAMNJEXIE4EVA I know all because of Carly. Over the years though Sonny and Robin seem to have gotten a little bit of that back. Though it isn't what it used to be, they were like brother and sister. She did tell her father Robert when her reappeared from the dead in 06 that Sonny was a like a father to her and meant more to her than he would.hopefully with Brenda coming back they can go back to those friendships that made Gh what it was..an actual good show to watch.
@SonnyBrendaFan i AGREE WITH YOU, THE SHOW ISN'T REALLY WORTH WATCHING ANYMORE. I ONLY TUNE IN TO SEE LUCKY(JJ) SCENES AND ANYTIME ROBIN HAS SCENES WITH SONNY OR JASON. I AM HAPPY THAT BRENDA IS COMING BACK..

It can Hit Any one
I hate that they gave Robin HIV.

Omg same… I really don’t like sonny now
Yes Next to Bj S Accident
these are some emmy winning performances from everyone. I still love this GH Era.
Shalinda Spencer this was GH at its besr
Shalinda Spencer kimberely won an Emmy for this SL.
Shalinda Spencer me to i miss this gh the storylines and more
Kim won but Michael did not and I will never understand that
They all deserved to win an Emmy for this entire storyline
Jacklyn and Brad were robbed too of the BJ s/l
@@angelacurry2710 I agree.

God damit this storyline had everything.
The show was so great at this time!
Hearing lil Robin is HIV positive was heart breaking. She handling it like a CHAMP! But, Brenda had me in some REAL tears 😭, LAWD! S&B had me in my REAL feelings, tho. Sonny was right there to catch her when she fell.
Yeah, Brenda broke me!
@@angiechambless1092 She broke me down.
Can't believe this was 25 years ago
Why can't these two characters show each other this level of compassion anymore?
Brenda was a little older than Robin but they met in highschool and became best friends. Brenda thought of Robin as a little sister.
But Robin looks like Stone's little sister.
Amen, I can't find the scene where Mac first realize stone was so scare he may have given it to robin and Mac showed real compassion.
GH was so great back then; the stories, actors ALL of them, and the background screens, music was perfect! I wish is wasn't so blah now!
I liked sonny and robin friendship on gh back then they loved,cared about each other a lot sonny could not believe that robin had h.i.v and even sonny told Brenda about robin thier acting was good in this scene i felt it

Those were the best days of GH...best days of S&B...wish we could get them this close and loving again....I truly miss those days!!!! Please bring them back again!!! I feel like even Robin and Sonny are falling apart!!! What has happened to GH??
this and BJ's heart were GH at it's best
Damn that last scene between S&B brought tears to my eyes...
brenda acted sooo amzingly well in this scene!!
Love. I miss the penthouse... it was gorgeous.
Brenda's part really made my tears drop
Baby, Sonny could not wait to console Brenda. When Brenda pulled away Sonny was like wait. Brenda is better than me cause I would have been curled up in Sonny's lap crying. #FACTS
Maurice Benard was such a cutie back then.
He was so pretty. Not so bad as an old guy either.
THIS WAS EMOTINAL NEXT TO THE MAXIE GETTING BJS HEART
"Whose nightmare is this, how did we all wind up in the middle of it", that really does explain the last 6 months for everyone, trapped in a nightmare
THIS IS SO DAM REAL ,, IT BREAKS MY HEART,,,
Ditto. I consider this to be the golden age for General Hospital. I'm sure others have their ideas of what the golden age was for them but this is it for me. And I'm not afraid to assume that nobody would think Sonny was any less a tough guy if he'd fallen to his knees crying over all of this.
I think that Mac holds back a lot even now, with sonny. Because of his emotional ties to sonny, Stone and Robin. that will always be something they have in common.
I hate how they have written sonny now.... He would have never went into robins house and fired a gun
Sonny rarely shows his softer side to anyone, he is always that way with Robin though. With what is going on right now for Sonny in 2010 it would be a good time for Stone's ghost to appear and give him some comfort.

I hope Robin is there for him, now would be a perfect time for Stone or Brenda to comfort him too.
I Miss Wendy Riche So Much! Frank Is Messing The Show Up!!
it's so weird seeing mac and sonny in these scenes, especially since they despise each other now. kinda eerie.
Those were the days.
It is one of the main reasons I can't watch the show anymore. Years ago it was a show worth investing in. It was a show that had some dignity, humanity and good drama.
Brenda was actually the one who was staying away from Sonny he kept finding excuses to drop by the gatehouse. She was doing good too, I all most felt she could get over Sonny. GLAD SHE DIDN'T! Brenda and lil Robin are TRUE BFF's, Lois fell off during this time. SMH!
I know exactly how sonny feels right about now whose nightmare is this and how did we all end up in it
man that scene at the end was intense
I'm about to sob.
Mac and Sonny are amazing in these scenes. They are on opposite sides of the law yet they come together in this horrible tragedy for Stone and Robin. I wish they didnt just act like they hated each other now all the time. Sonny has lost his soft side, it was killed in by the like of Carly. She ruined Sonny and Jason.
Seriously? You're going to blame Carly for Sonny and Jason's character? Not the fact that they are adults, and most people get more jaded as they get older?
Can we all say AMEN?!?! Lol
Amen.
This was the shit. Best ever!
Okay we agree this is sad, but Sonny is so hot and I love the music they play during the scene starting 5:20
I also hate how in all of this robins death story luke doesnt share anything or have flashbacks. he was her fathers b/f and when he came back to town kept his eye on her and was there for her.

God i freaking love brenda
Found the clip. If you want to see what Claire said last year just type in "Claire Labine accepts award". It's the "ian.." something award.

can you please tell me the story about brenda and robin?
does anyone know the scene where robin tells stone she is hiv ?
@JASAMNJEXIE4EVA I know all because of Carly. Over the years though Sonny and Robin seem to have gotten a little bit of that back.

im with you all and im going to fight like hell to get vanessa back on gh
they left the door open for her to return to gh
How would Anne and Robert would had acted when he found out that Stone has Aids and latter found out there daughter is H.i.v (+)
Michael De Marco Robert would’ve killed Stone himself
What was Stone relationship to Sonny
They were friends but treated each other like brothers
what happen to this GH?
CLaire needs to come back
They met through Jason, Jagger and Karen and became best buds after Jagger and Karen left.
@lcc726 - "what happen to this GH?" --- It left after Claire Labine quit.
@mohr1020 It's times like these where nothing else matters; mobsters and cops and all that. All that matters is the people we love.
Sometimes, Mac sounds like Patrick Swayze.
😊
How come sonny treats robin better than he treats his real sister Courtney?
@SonnyBrendaFan i AGREE WITH YOU, THE SHOW ISN'T REALLY WORTH WATCHING ANYMORE. I ONLY TUNE IN TO SEE LUCKY(JJ) SCENES AND ANYTIME ROBIN HAS SCENES WITH SONNY OR JASON. I AM HAPPY THAT BRENDA IS COMING BACK..
Could Stone have lived and was his last days suffering was he in pain from Louisiana
😢😓🙌
@coleypinkful so true..
@hwuoahc im looking for that too
