Members Marco Dane Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 soapcentral.com JUST IN: Michael Sutton (Stone) returning to General Hospital. Details to follow. From TV Guide Online Here's an unexpected blast from the past! Michael Sutton, whose General Hospital character, Stone Cates, died of AIDS in a landmark 1995 storyline, will return to the ABC soap on September 28 for a two-episode appearance. Stone won't be coming back as a ghost or spirit. Rather, he'll appear to his one-time girlfriend Robin (Kimberly McCullough) when she finds herself in a physically perilous situation and becomes delirious. (ABC has asked us not to reveal the exact circumstances). The visitation occurs at an emotionally vulnerable time for Robin — she and hubby Patrick (Jason Thompson) have split up due to his liaison with Lisa (Brianna Brown). A GH rep tells TV Guide Magazine that "Stone will give Robin the will to live, not only for herself but, more importantly, her daughter Emma." The rep adds that the duo will also talk about their past together, and bring closure to what happened to them years ago. (As a result of her sexual relationship with Stone, Robin is HIV-positive). Sutton, who was Emmy-nominated for his final year on GH, hasn't done much acting since his exit from the soap. These days, he's a highly successful L.A. nightclub promoter and restaurateur.

Members DRW50 Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 A fantasy scene, a la Vicky and Ryan on AW? Or perhaps Stone will haunt Patrick... Either that or he has an evil doppleganger who will rape Robin for sweeps, or Lisa will hire a man who looks like Stone to gaslight Robin. GH hasn't pissed on Stone's memory yet, they need the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ian Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 Was going to say bet its Brenda, but that's just force of habit. Will take awhile for us to all stop assuming it's Vanessa Marcil Giowhateverthefuckhernameis because we're used to the Brenda's return is imminent BS for so many years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 Welcome back, Stone. I'm glad that Robin is separated from Patrick. Too bad a divorce isn't on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 They should just have Chad Brannon and Michael Sutton stand around in the background of a lot of scenes...at least that would be a nice treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 "Robin! I can see! I can see you." Kimberkey McCullough has a great gift in being able to bring out the best from whoever she was paired with. She helped to make her pairings so real.

Members Ann_SS Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 Don't do that. You are making me tear up. Heartbreaking stuff. I may have to give in watch Stone's visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 Sorry. If it makes you feel better, I was hearing Stone's scratchy, weakened voice when he said those words and tearing up, too. Such a beautiful, heart-breaking moment. MS was not the best actor but it is a testament to the friendship MS and KMcC shared IRL (and the writing) that they made this love story seem so tender and real. And how they never negated what Stone meant to Robin all these years. Also Stone made Sonny human. People forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 Even now when I occasionally watch Stone's death, that moment makes me start to sob like a baby. I also can never forget the moment that Sonny realized that Stone was close to the end and walked out of this hospital room and collapsed against the wall, then Robin came out to comfort and keep him from falling apart. Beautiful. So true. Sonny loving and caring for Stone and Stone loving him in returned redeemed Sonny who had been damaged by that horrible Karen stripper drug story.

Members ian Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 lmao yes, I just mean that for years there was a Brenda return scoop every other second, so I was jokingly saying at first I thought it was Vanessa until I remembered that she was back...
