Petition Letter:

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

The following document is a petition created by the devoted fans of Kimberly McCullough, regarding the issue of our sincere request to keep the character of Robin from being recasted, as well as stopping a romantic relationship with Jason and Carly from developing, upon the news of Steve Burton's brief return. 

 

As fans of Kimberly, we can only hope that she will return one day, but until that happens, we want nothing more than to make sure that the role of Robin is for her and her alone.

 

We have watched Robin grow up into a lovely young woman on GH.  Through laughter, tears, heartbreak, loss and love, Kimberly has brought us the touching story of this incredible, loved character.  Kimberly is the one and only Robin.  Thirteen years of her life was spent on GH, acting out the many trials and tribulations of the spunky Robin Scorpio's life.

 

If you think back to times in Robin's life, times that brought us happiness and sorrow, you will find truth in this message.  When Robin's parents died, the way Kimberly played out those scenes with Mac....how we all, for at least one moment, lost control of all our senses.....how we felt it hard to breathe.....how we felt as if we knew her pain.....like we had lost a part of ourselves, too.

 

The stories of Stone's AIDS/ Robin's HIV, Brenda's death, her new life and new found love and trust in Jason, and the last days she spent on GH.  In those scenes, Kimberly proved her undeniable talent as an actress, taking us all to a place we didn't know existed. Now, try and imagine someone else playing Robin's part.

 

We the fans of Kimberly want Robin and Jason back together again, forever this time.  We want to see the incredible chemistry that Kimberly and Steve share. 

 

This couple was about what every couple should be: Love, Honor, Respect, and the TRUTH.  Words cannot even begin to describe the beauty of this couple.  Truly unforgettable, as said by fans and the ABC Daytime viewers themselves.  How easy it was to lose ourselves in their magic, cry when they cried, smile when they smiled and notice their undeniable attraction.  Jason's acceptance of Robin's health - not caring that she was HIV positive - wanting to share a life with her and take care of her was truly amazing.   It only takes one moment to realize that these two were meant to be together - and with no one else!  We want a glorious wedding, more play out of the HIV storyline, and a baby.  It is time that GH and ABC daytime brought back the storylines with meanings, lessons and positive impact upon the viewers.  And this supercouple is definitely the way to spice up the show and the now dropping ratings.  As dedicated and determined fans, we deserve this.  We deserve to see our couple get their happy ending.

 

With Steve returning, and Kimberly not, the possibility of Jason taking Carly away from Port Charles with him has come up.  This is so WRONG!  Having watched the romance and true love of Robin and Jason, we cannot even ponder this.  Jason and Carly do not belong together, and if anything should be strictly friends.  Steve doesn't have the chemistry and magic with Sarah that he does with Kimberly.  Robin respected Jason, didn't lie to him and gave him everything she had - loved him with her whole heart.  Carly, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of her.  She is a liar, backstabber and will do anything to get her way.  How could Jason possibly love her?  Not just because of the person she is, but because she couldn't give him half of what Robin could. It makes no sense and is only a road to disaster.

 

Daytime television has lost many viewers due to their lack of listening to what the viewers want and care about.  Supercouples from Luke and Laura to Robert and Anna to Jason and Robin, generations apart, brought magic to our lives that we'll never forget.  Now, the romance in daytime no longer exists.  A quick 'roll in the hay' or one night stand is all the viewers are ever provided with.  What's happened to breathtaking lines, passionate love scenes and a woman sticking to one man?  Of course a soap opera is supposed to have scum, but this is a bit of a stretch.  We want to see love.  Our opinions should be important to the directors /writers /staff.  And if they are, here us loud and clear: do whatever you can to bring Kimberly back - but do not make a Robin recast.  There is no Robin without Kimberly.  We miss her dearly, and hope that one day she will find her way back to GH.

 

Thank you very much for your time.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Fans of Kimberly McCullough
