Robin Christopher (born June 18, 1965 in Revere, Massachusetts) is an American actress.
Christopher is known for having played the same character, Skye Chandler, as a regular cast member on ABC's three daytime soap operas: All My Children (1987-1991, 2000), One Life to Live (1999-2001) and General Hospital (2001-2008). Only Debbi Morgan has accomplished a similar feat. Christopher also portrayed Lorna Devon on Another World (1994-1997).
When Robin first began playing the role of Skye Chandler, the character was known as Antoinette Patterson Chandler. Over the years, the character married, divorced, remarried, redivorced, and at one point even believed she'd discovered her biological family, the Quartermaines. While occasionally referred to as 'Skye Quartermaine', it was revealed on-air in 2005 that the character's legal name was Skye Chandler.
In 1993, Robin guest starred in the final two episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's first season, "Duet" and "In the Hands of the Prophets", as the Bajoran engineer Neela.
She married former Another World co-star Matt Crane in 2000. In 2004, they had their first child, August Christopher, and in 2006, they had their second child, Gianna Maria. Her daughter Gianna Maria plays her daughter, Lila Rae Alcazar, on General Hospital, the daughter of Skye and Lorenzo Alcazar.
