Longtime General Hospital star Tristan Rogers, known for his portrayal of Robert Scorpio, has been diagnosed with cancer. A representative for the 79-year-old actor confirmed the news, stating that Rogers is working closely with his medical team on a treatment plan and remains hopeful.
The family has requested privacy during this difficult time but expressed gratitude for the support they’ve received. They will share future updates as appropriate.
Rogers has played Robert Scorpio on and off since 1980, most recently appearing on November 12, 2024, when his character left town with ex-wife Holly Sutton. He’s also appeared in other series, including The Bay, Studio City, and The Young and the Restless.
This news comes shortly after General Hospital actress Kirsten Storms announced a temporary break from the show to settle into her new Tennessee home. Storms expressed gratitude to the show’s producers for allowing her time off and hinted at a possible return later this year. Last month, Jonathan Jackson, who played Lucky Spencer, also departed the series, citing the challenges of balancing family life with the cross-country commute to the California set.
