Tristan Rogers originated the role of WSB super spy and hero Robert Scorpio on General Hospital on December 2, 1980. He immediately captured the attention of fans and what was supposed to be a very short-term role turned into 45 years (on and off) of one of the show's most beloved characters. He was best friends with Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary), father to fan favorite daughters Robin (Kimberly McCullough) & Sasha (Sofia Mattsson), and part of not only one, but two very popular supercouples, Robert & Anna (Finola Hughes) and Robert & Holly (Emma Samms).
John J York, who plays Mac Scorpio, Robert's younger brother, shared a candid photo of the two of them and posted, "…frozen…timeless…legend…privileged…husband…father…grandfather…we will all see you again."
Jon Lindstrom, who plays Kevin Collins, worked with Rogers for over 40 years and posted, "I know the sadness I feel at this news is shared by so many of you. #TristanRogers was one of the coolest, funniest people I ever met. Whenever we were together, which wasn’t nearly often enough, we never missed a chance to try to crack the other one up. I wish I’d had more of those chances. R.I.P. #FlightOfAngels#Scorpio@GeneralHospital#GH."
Mary Beth Evans, who played Katherine Bell on GH, also starred with Rogers on The Bay. "Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Tristan Rogers. On The Bay, I had the privilege of playing opposite him — and what a gift that was. Tristan brought such charm, wit and depth to every scene, and it was an honor to share that screen time with him. Sending love and condolences to his family, friends and so many fans who adored him. He will be deeply missed."
Kathleen Gati's character, Liesl Obrecht, was a Scorpio nemesis, but her tribute to Rogers paints a very different picture of their offscreen relationship: "There truly are no words, but I will try. I loved working with Tristan, doing @GeneralHospital events with him, having him as a kind friend. Deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and fans. He will truly be missed but never forgotten. #GH Godspeed @tristanrogers."
Tristan Rogers was 79 when he passed away from lung cancer. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Teresa Parkerson, two children, and a grandchild.
