Rogers, a veteran actor who joined GH in 1980 and returned multiple times, brought charm and intrigue to the role of the WSB agent, most recently reigniting his legendary romance with Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) in 2024.
His passing, announced on August 15, 2025, leaves a void in Port Charles, especially for characters like Anna Devane(Finola Hughes) and Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough).
As the show grapples with phasing out Robert, its fans are dishing out all the tributes and questions about how GH will honor his legacy. Will Holly return alone, cherishing their final months, or will Sasha Gilmore Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) reappear for her father’s farewell?
Rogers’ Legacy as Robert Scorpio Endures
Rogers’ portrayal of Robert — a dashing Australian spy — has captivated audiences for
decades, blending humor, romance, and high-stakes action.
His chemistry with Anna and Holly defined GH’s golden era, and his Y&R stint as Colin Atkinson showcased his versatility. Fans on Facebook are sharing memories, noting how Rogers’ wit and warmth made Robert a fan favorite.
Jon Lindstrom’s (Kevin Collins) emotional post, calling Rogers a “true legend and dear friend,” echoes the outpouring of grief from costars.
As GH faces a future without Robert, will the show opt for a poignant off-screen send-off, similar to Monica Quartermaine’s (Leslie Charleson) after her January 2025 passing, or recast the role?
Holly and Sasha’s Grief Could Upend Everything
Holly’s recent reunion with Robert, reigniting their epic love story, makes his loss even more poignant — will she return to Port Charles without him, grateful for their final months but shattered?
Fans suspect Sasha, who left for safety with Daisy Corinthos Gilmore (Brenden and Evelyn Beimford) last month, might rush back for her father’s memorial, providing a hard-start catharsis amid her own isolation.
Emma Scorpio Drake’s (Braedyn Bruner) storyline could turn emotional, with Bruner tackling scenes of learning her grandfather is gone.
Kimberly McCullough’s potential return as Robin would add layers of grief, but will GH let Robert’s absence linger off-screen, or craft a tribute episode? The void feels immense.
Anna and Robin’s World Shattered Forever
Tristan Rogers’ death leaves an irreplaceable hole in GH, especially for Anna and Robin, whose lives are intertwined with Robert’s the most.
Fans anticipate tearful testimonials from Finola Hughes (Anna) and Kimberly McCullough (Robin), possibly leading to McCullough’s comeback for a family reunion amid sorrow. As Port Charles mourns, fans are calling for a fitting farewell, fearing a recast would dishonor Rogers’ legacy.
Will he walk softly into the night at home with the woman, daughter, and granddaughter he loved? Might he go out as a hero defending them from attack? It sounds like the fans prefer a more peaceful goodbye. Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers just ahead.
