It's been years since General Hospital fans have seen Robin Scorpio and her daughter, Emma Scorpio-Drake, on-screen together. However, in real life, actresses Kimberly McCullough and Brooklyn Rae Silzer recently spent a day together, and McCullough couldn't get over how her "daughter" was all grown up.
"I have a high school graduate! I mean... 'Robin' has a high school graduate!" she wrote on Instagram next to a photo herself and Silzer. "Honored I get to be a part of watching you grow up. Love you sweetheart."
Silzer shared a different snap of the pair in her Instagram stories. Both are all smiles, with Silzer simply saying, "Always love seeing you @kimmeabreak."
McCullough and Silzer first started working together in 2011 when Silzer assumed the role of Robin and Patrick's little girl, Emma. Silzer was just five years old. She remained with the soap on a regular basis until 2016, when Emma, Robin, and Patrick moved to California. Both Robin and Emma have visited Port Charles through the years, but Silzer's last few appearances have been on her own.
Fans last saw Emma when she visited her grandparents, Robert and Anna, for Thanksgiving last year. The young woman was already a high school graduate attending college, and Silzer is ready to follow suit. She turned 18 years old on April 27 of this year and graduated high school at the end of May, celebrating each occasion with some social media pics.

Last November, she told Soap Opera Digest that she was already applying to nursing school, something she was inspired to do by her time on GH.
"Ever since I started, I've known I wanted to be a nurse, I think since I was six years old," she explained. "I always said, 'I want to be a nurse when I grow up,' and it just stayed with me, and I've become more inspired as I've been doing volunteer work throughout my high school years"
McCullough is now a successful director, working on such shows as High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, One Day at a Time, The Conners, Fantasy Island, and How I Met Your Father. She is also set to direct her first feature film, The Wayward Girl.
