"ROBIN'S DAILY DOSE" LAUNCHES OCTOBER 12;
THE FIRST-EVER BLOG FOR A SOAP CHARACTER
Website Solidifies Network's Position in the Media Forefront

Commemorating the return of the beloved "General Hospital" character Robin Scorpio, a blog entitled "Robin's Daily Dose" - the first-ever for a character on a daytime drama - will launch on the website at www.robinscorpio.com, it was announced today by Brian Frons, president, ABC Daytime. Immediately available on a daily basis after the show's network broadcast, viewers will be able to read Robin's first entry - as she celebrates her 28th birthday alone and missing her family and friends - on Wednesday, October 12, the same day the character returns to the canvas.

Now a doctor living in Paris, Robin - played by two-time Emmy Award winner Kimberly McCullough - makes a return visit to Port Charles, for she is urgently needed back home. but disaster strikes and changes destiny. Like the 1995 best-selling novel "Robin's Diary," which chronicled the character and her feelings for her first true love, Stone Cates - who eventually died of AIDS -- the blog will give browsers a unique and entertaining look (not found anywhere else and separate from the show's storyline) at the character's innermost thoughts and feelings in a format that contemporary audiences can access every day on the internet.

The site was developed by abc.com in conjunction with ABC Daytime.
