For months now, Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) has hovered around the edges of the story on General Hospital without actually stepping back into Port Charles. We never saw Robin on screen when Emma and her mom reunited, but the reminders of her presence were everywhere. Off-screen, though, McCullough offered fans a different kind of Robin update.

General Hospital’s girls’ night throwback

McCullough wrote on Instagram, “When your on screen friendships become your real-life homegirls…. Still mugging for the camera 20 years later. @iamkentking @minaenojiofficial 💗💗 Robin, Lainey, and Kelly 4- Eva.” The post included two photos placed side by side in time.

One photo takes fans back to their GH years, with McCullough posing alongside Kent King, who played Dr. Lainey Winters, and Minae Noji (ex-Dr. Kelly Lee), the three of them leaning together as the tight-knit group viewers remember. The second image fast-forwards two decades, capturing the women reunited outside, still smiling at the camera with that same spark.

The reunion caught the attention of fellow GH alumni. Bradford Anderson jumped into the comments with, “Love this so so much!!” Former castmate Natalia Livingston added her own reaction, using several hearts and a smiling face with hearts emojis.

Fans immediately followed their lead. One viewer wrote, “2006 GH Days was so epic. I raced home from school to watch every day back then.” Another chimed in with, “I love this!!! This was one of my favorite eras of GH! Those girls' night episodes were everything!!!” (Find out how McCullough and Hughes honored Tristan Rogers.)

The comments quickly turned into a nostalgia party for the Robin, Kelly, and Lainey years. One fan wrote, “Scrubs and Night Shift. The world was a different place back then. Bring it back.” Another viewer added, “I miss y'all on my GH screen, Kimberly, Minae, and Kent. I loved Robin, Kelly, and Lainey.”

Others focused on the passage of time. @bluebellbakehouse joked, “How are you all hotter 20 years later?!! #ilovegirls.” Meanwhile, @alryan49 kept it simple with, “Gorgeous then and now!!”

Several fans mentioned how much the reunion reminded them of the show’s old hangouts and friendships. @quirkystuffdoer wrote, “Awwww, this makes me wanna go watch clips of the girls’ nights at Jake’s.”

And perhaps the most honest reaction came from @candymack82, who summed up the mood perfectly: “And now here comes the freaking tears waves hi guys.” (Check out how Michael Sutton’s (Stone) performance still resonates with McCullough.)

General Hospital is available on ABC and Hulu.
