She and Benard also recalled the iconic “Stone and Robin” AIDS storyline. She said it was groundbreaking and was handled “in such a loving way.” It didn’t focus on how Stone got it.

“The story was, this is what you are dealing with now. This is who you are as a person now. You are a great person. I am falling in love with you. We are going through this together,” the actress explained.

“I think Robin and Sonny’s love for Stone [Michael Sutton], and, of course, what they shared the most was someone that they loved the most, dying, and dying way too soon,” McCullough shared.

She also said that she still cries whenever she watches the Stone dying scene. She said it was beautiful and Benard agreed.

The actress explained that she’s a very emotional person. And at some point, she became overwhelmed and decided to try something new. She wanted more control over her life and that’s when she decided to be the director instead.

The Fantasy Island reboot is one of her most recent directing gigs. She helmed one episode where she found herself working with Daytime Emmy winner Debbi Morgan who fans may recall as Angie Baxter Hubbard on All My Children.
