General Hospital alum Kimberly McCullough shares an exciting new project she is directing

Kimberly McCullough is still beloved by GH fans

General Hospital fans watched Kimberly McCullough grow up on screen from the age of seven as Robin Scorpio Drake. She came to the ABC soap in 1985 after not getting a role in the prime-time series Webster and became the darling of Port Charles.

Robin later became HIV positive, and her boyfriend, Stone Cates (Michael Sutton), died from Aids, which is why the General Hospital Nurses Ball raises funds for aids research.

Although Robin will not return for the gala this year, her daughter, Emma Scorpio Drake (Braeden Bruner) is in Port Charles and wreaking havoc. Emma's dad is Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson), who now portrays Billy Abbott on The Young and the Restless.

McCullough stuns fans with her decision

Fans were stunned when McCullough left GH in 2018, stating that she wanted to work behind the camera as a director. They wished the beloved actress well, but hoped she might remain a part of the General Hospital cast. She stayed true to her word about not returning to acting with one exception.

After the death of former cast member John O'Reilly, who portrayed Sean Donely, she reprised her role on GH in 2021 during a two-day tribute episode to Robin's godfather.

The former actress will direct a movie musical

Since then, McCullough has been busy as Co-Executive Producer/Director of four seasons of "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" for Disney+. Kimberly directed episodes of "With Love"on Amazon, Hulu's "How I Met Your Father," "Boo, Bitch" on Netflix and "Fantasy Island" for Fox.

She has also directed many episodes of the Freeform/UTV series "The Bold Type" and produced numerous multi-cams, including "Carol's Second Act" for CBS, The Conners" for ABC, and "One Day At A Time" for Netflix.

McCullough has Indigenous and Mexican ancestry

Deadline reports that she will direct the movie musical No Me Olvides (Don't forget me) that follows the lives of three generations of Mexican American women. The former actress has a Mexican and indigenous heritage, which was not emphasized on the soap.

Robin's GH parents Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) is British and Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio) is from Melbourne Australia making them a unique family blend.

The film stars Xochitl Gomez (America Chavez from Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and actress/singer Maite Perroni (a two-time Latin Grammy nominee who starred in the Mexican telenovela Rebelde) in the movie musical, which is scheduled to begin filming in the Fall. “Thrilled to be working with this incredible team!” McCullough cheered on Instagram.

An intergenerational movie

No Te Olvides is considered an intergenerational film that follows the women as they embark on a journey that brings healing, humor, and unexpected romance. Gomez's character, Maria, is a closeted twenty-something Chicana. Her mother, Celestina ( Perroni), is considered a workaholic.

Maria's grandmother has Alzheimer's Disease and wants to return to the rural Mexican village where she was born before the illness erases her memories for good. Against her mother's wishes, she decides to assist her grandmother in fulfilling her dying wish. The three women end up traveling together, and this is where the adventure begins.

GH fans will enjoy this musical

This highly anticipated feel-good movie promises authentic Mexican storytelling not just for the Latino community but for everyone.

Between Kimberly McCullough's directing talent, a script rooted in authentic Mexican-American storytelling, and a dream team of Latina icons leading the way, "No Te Olvides" is already shaping to be a must-watch moment for representation and musical lovers alike.

General Hospital fans should be on the lookout for updates regarding the release date of No Te Olvides.
