RIP Tristan Rogers

 


Tristan Rogers (3 June 1946 – 15 August 2025) was an Australian actor. He was best known for playing Robert Scorpio on the ABC soap opera General Hospital and for voicing Jake in Walt Disney Pictures' The Rescuers Down Under.

Early Life

Rogers was born in Melbourne, Australia. His early acting roles were on Australian television, and he completed short stints in soap operas Bellbird, Number 96 (in 1974), and The Box (in 1975). He was a regular in the police drama series The Link Men (1970), which lasted for 13 episodes, and had guest roles in programs including Barrier Reef, Division 4, and the 1976 miniseries Power Without Glory. He also appeared in a few British films in the early 1970s, notably Four Dimensions of Greta (1972), The Flesh and Blood Show (1972), and Sex Farm (1973).

United States roles

General Hospital

Rogers originally appeared on General Hospital from December 1980 until February 1992. The popularity and longevity of the character Robert Scorpio came as a result of his involvement with the monumentally popular "supercouple" Luke and Laura, whose 1981 wedding brought in 30 million viewers and remains the highest-rated hour in American soap opera history.

While Rogers' Scorpio had been "killed with no body found" when he left the series in 1992, Rogers returned briefly in 1995 as Scorpio's spirit to comfort the character's daughter Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough), who is dealing with the death of her boyfriend to an AIDS-related illness and is herself HIV-positive. He returned in January 2006 for six weeks, this time with Scorpio being very much alive. Rogers reappeared in April 2006 and left again that November.

From 5 August 2008 through 21 October 2008, Rogers reprised the role of Robert Scorpio on the second season of SOAPnet's General Hospital: Night Shift, a primetime spin-off of General Hospital which stars Scorpio's daughter Robin. He was featured in 12 of the season's 14 episodes, and Soap Opera Digest named the appearance their "Best Return" of 2008. Rogers later reappeared on General Hospital for four episodes starting 22 December 2008 as Scorpio attends Robin's wedding.

Rogers returned to General Hospital as Robert Scorpio on 29 February 2012 after Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) called him back to Port Charles to tell him that their daughter Robin Scorpio-Drake had been killed in a lab accident. After seven episodes, he left again on 8 March 2012. Rogers expressed disappointment. He later returned to the series on 15 November 2012 but later departed on 18 December 2012 as his character was drugged into a coma. Rogers reprised the role on 4 October 2013 as part of his on-screen daughter's return. However, on 14 November 2013, it was announced that he would be departing the series to return to The Young and the Restless as Colin Atkinson. He made his last appearance on 30 January 2014.

Rogers returned to the series as Robert Scorpio on 17 December 2015, but he was also portraying Colin on Y&R at the same time. He later left the series on 2 February 2016, although he briefly returned from 26 August to 9 September in the same year.

Rogers returned to General Hospital in April 2018 for a story arc in which he aids Anna Devane, who is trying to locate her long-lost son, Henrik Faison. Henrik is the unknown child that she bore in secret with Cesar Faison. After leaving the show on 1 June 2018, he later returned yet again from 27 July to 12 September in the same year for another story arc where Anna and Finn go missing. He exited the role when Robert left Port Charles on November 12, 2024. He made an unannounced two-day guest return from 17 to 18 July 2025.

The Young and the Restless

Rogers returned to daytime television on 8 December 2010 when he joined the cast of The Young and the Restless as Colin Atkinson. He was placed on contract with the show in February 2011. However, Rogers' character was written out of the series in October 2011. He returned to the role briefly in 2012. In 2025, following Rogers' death, the serial announced his final television appearance (as Colin) aired on 26 August of that year.

Other roles

Rogers starred in the CINE award-winning short Opportunity Knocks, for which there are plans to develop into a feature-length film.

He voiced Jake the Kangaroo Mouse in The Rescuers Down Under, and also gave his voice to the 2015 video game, Mad Max.

From 1997 to 1998, Rogers played bar owner Harry in Fast Track, a series about stock car racing which was filmed in Canada. Since 2010, Rogers has starred on the soap opera web series The Bay as Lex Martin. In 2019, he played Doc in the Amazon series, Studio City, a role that garnered him an Emmy for Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Digital Drama Series at the 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

Rogers also did voice-over work representing restaurant chain Outback Steakhouse, Foster's Lager, Reebok, Epson, and others.

Personal life

Rogers was married to Teresa Parkerson from 21 May 1995. They had two children: daughter Sara Jane (born 25 August 1992) and son Cale (born August 1996). He bought a home in Palm Springs, California, in 1997. He had been married to Barbara Meale from 7 June 1973 until 1983, when they divorced.

Illness and death

In July 2025, it was announced that Rogers had been diagnosed with lung cancer. He died in Palm Springs on 15 August 2025.

Claire’s stunned by Victor’s change of heart, and Nate concludes with Devon’s help. Victor makes his favorite kind of decision: the shocking kind! How big is this one?  It’s all well and good that Jack offers words of wisdom to Kyle. The trick will be getting his sin to take them in and pay them any real heed.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week…

$Bill vows to destroy Grace. Meanwhile, Luna begins to wake up… Dollar Bill is gonna hit the roof when Liam and Hope drop the bombshell on him that Grace lied about his son having cancer. Big Daddy’s “retribution” promises to be devastating. Somewhere, Steffy must be shuddering as Li and Sheila form an uneasy alliance over their “late’ granddaughter, Luna. Will and Electra embody heart-eyes emojis; they’re so in love.

Luna obsesses about Will, Bill and Liam share an emotional moment, and Electra worries about sex. Bill and Liam share an exceptionally loving father/son moment. It’s a real turning point for them as their bond deepens.

Matthew Atkinson teases Thomas’ big return.

Cue the confetti! Brooke, Ridge, and Eric are welcomed home from Naples. Maybe don’t throw the confetti just yet. Stop if you’ve heard this one before, but Ridge is torn between Taylor and Brooke. Brooke gives Ridge an ultimatum, and Luna fixates on Finn and Will.

Hold up! Did this B&B star just tease a ‘Thope’ reunion?!

As Taylor begins to question Ridge’s emotional moment with Brooke in Italy,--why she let him go without her in the first place. Electra tells Will she’s ready to take the next step in their relationship.

Thomas is back — with a French twist.

Sheila feeds Luna’s Will obsession, and Li lays down the law. Sheila eavesdrops as Katie asks Deacon if she can book Il Giardino for a small celebration for Will.

Shocking reveal! How will [Spoiler] possibly stick around after this?!

Coming up…

Celebrate Will’s promotion at Forrester Creations. (Guess his constant making out with Electra impressed the powers that be. “What a work ethic he has! He fits right in here!”) But only the attendee’s name will show up on the guest list.

Yep, you got it: Luna’s going to crash the bash. And since she’ll be wearing a mask (see below), there’s every reason to think that she and the object of her obsession are going to get it on without him realizing that he’s not making love to his girlfriend Electra. (Anyone else getting shades of Brooke and Oliver from this?)

If Will and Electra are lucky, Sheila and Li will figure out where their MIA patient/granddaughter is before it’s too late. Otherwise, Deacon will have been lying when he told the kids, “What happens at Il Giardino stays at Il Giardino!”

Carter mentions to Ridge that he wants to marry Hope — presumably for no other reason than to jinx himself. The next thing we know, his fiancée is telling ex-husband Liam that no, she doesn’t have anything better to do than hang out. “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be,” she insists.

Will “Cope’s” engagement even last long enough for Thomas’ return to blow it up?



The Young & the Restless

Last week…

Man, Cane doesn’t stand a chance! Sharon worries about Mariah — with good reason. Her dark secret is eating her alive and wrecking what’s left of her marriage! Lily delivers bad news to Holden, who is the last to know what happened to his former pal Damian.

Daniel warns Phyllis away from Cane, and Audra and Claire declare war. Phyllis shares a secret with Daniel. Cue Daniel going, “Mom. I don’t need to know every crazy thing you do!” Even as she attempts to make waves in Claire and Kyle’s relationship, Audra covers her tracks with Nate. We think she should step further into this version of herself, personally. No longer riding in the passenger seat of her own life, Claire takes matters into her hands.

Victoria confronts Victor, and Nick nearly punches Billy. Victor retaliates against Cane. Does anyone else think he won’t make it through the week before he’s added to the list of enemies bested by The Mustache? Nick loses his cool with Billy, and honestly, we get it. Jill’s son has an attitude enough for six people. Jack receives an unexpected invitation. Considering what happened the last time he RSVP’d “yes” to Cane — Jack might wanna say a resounding “No, thanks!”

Christine asks the impossible of Daniel, Victor confronts Nikki, and Cane meets with Lily. Lily Cane Wait, *wut*?! Furious fans want [Spoiler] to do the unthinkable! It isn’t like Victor to delegate the responsibilities he likes the best — like fighting foes — but he recruits Nick to take down an opponent. Christine asks Lauren for a favor. Matron of honor, perhaps? His feelings for Tessa are growing by the day. Daniel confesses to Danny.

Lily gives Cane an ultimatum, and Victoria shares a close moment with Billy. Nice that they can still surprise one another after all these years: Sharon sees a new side to Nick. Exsqueeze us, but did Devon just find himself a home on another show? Despite having proven a million times over that he can’t keep a promise, Cane makes one to Lily. Adam loses patience with Chelsea’s loyalty to Billy.

Coming up…

Monday, August 18:

Nikki’s got her work cut out for her as she attempts to reconcile Claire and her domineering grandfather, Victor.

Better late than never, Nate senses that Audra is keeping a secret. We’d have predicted that the cunning businessman would be a natural at sniffing out a rat.

Lily and Cane reach a stalemate. Pretty sure in divorce court, that’s called “irreconcilable differences.”

Tuesday, August 19:

Stop… in the name of love! And then go ahead and watch as Diane takes Jack on a romantic trip.

Though it’s a battle that he wouldn’t mind losing, Holden nonetheless fights his attraction to Claire.

Phyllis gives Cane unsolicited advice. And hey, if they’re gonna be working together, he might as well start getting used to that!

Wednesday, August 20:

Billy demands answers from Adam and Chelsea.

Rather than own up to her actions, Audra shifts the blame to Kyle.

When Daniel sees a new side to Tessa, will it intensify his crush… or altogether squash it?

Thursday, August 21:

Victor makes his favorite kind of decision: the shocking kind!

It’s all well and good that Jack offers words of wisdom to Kyle. The trick will be getting his sin to take them in and pay them any real heed.

Asked, “What’s up, cuz?” Nate updates Devon on the state of affairs.

Friday, August 22:

Phyllis has been champing at the bit, and at last Cane tasks her with her first assignment.

When Nate forces Audra to come clean, will their relationship survive?

Liam informs dad Bill that the doctor, desperate to protect her family (remember them?), “prescribed meds that mimicked those symptoms” that hit him like a ton of bricks. Bill takes this news poorly. “Bitch is going to pay,” he declares.

Guess that’s one way to restore Don Diamont’s character to his factory settings!

Nick is still pitching the woo to Brooke. “This is not over for us,” he tells her, “Because I love you.” And he just happens to proffer an engagement ring to prove it! Meanwhile, Taylor, sensibly fearing that her engagement to Ridge is on shaky ground, tries informing her fiancé that Brooke “has a future, but it’s not with you.

“Because,” she adds, “I am never taking off this ring.” Sure, Jan. You tell yourself what you need to.

Finally, Sheila, reeling from the reveal that her granddaughter isn’t dead, asks Li the obvious question: “Why? Why did you save Luna?”

 


The Young & the Restless

Last week…

Claire lashes out at Victor, and Billy balks at Cane’s big plans. Victor loses patience with Adam’s insubordination. Sounds like somebody’s gonna be sent to his penthouse without any supper! Though he’s not exactly Mr. Popularity since his party in France left three people dead, resourceful Cane manages to form a new alliance. Chelsea shares a secret with Lily. Will Adam’s significant other come to regret spilling the beans?

Cane drops a bomb on Billy and Phyllis, and Nikki stands up to Victor. Victor and Nikki argue over family matters. Would now be a good time to point out that it’s never too far into a relationship to undergo marital counseling? Does it still count as Mommy & Me time if Jill and Billy spend it having a heated exchange? A woman on a mission, Phyllis will not be dissuaded. Today, she doubles down and protects her interests.

Jill and Billy hurt each other anew, Claire forces Kyle to come clean, and Nikki makes a bold suggestion. Gee, who could have predicted that Audra’s team-up with Victor would go south? Ah, yes — everybody! Even she has to see it now that he’s giving her her walking papers. Kyle comes clean with Claire. How will Cole’s grief-stricken daughter take the news that her beau kissed his old flame? Nikki laid the groundwork for a shocking new alliance that will turn Genoa City upside-down! Nikki’s gotta be itching for a rematch with Victor when she dares to ask Jack for a favor.

Lily considers a huge risk, Victor hatches a new plot, and Audra pokes the Claire bear. Victor wants Lily to join his revenge plot. Eh, maybe if he rebrands it as a retribution plot? Wasting no time, Claire sets the record straight with Audra. Kyle invites Adam to play Let’s Make a Deal.

Victor proposes an unlikely alliance, Billy spills the beans, and Phyllis cozies up to Cane. Victor strikes an unexpected deal. Phyllis pushes Billy’s buttons as only an ex-lover can. No more floating for Chelsea: She’s forced to take sides.

Coming up…

“Chadam” hit a rough patch, Nick catches Sharon off guard, and Victoria is asked to lend a hand.

Monday, August 11:

First, Nikki asks Jack to team up with Victor, and now Jack seeks out Victoria’s help. Man, Cane doesn’t stand a chance!

 Sharon worries about Mariah — with good reason. Her dark secret is eating her alive and wrecking what’s left of her marriage!

Lily delivers bad news to Holden, who is the last to know what happened to his former pal Damian.

Tuesday, August 12:

Phyllis shares a secret with Daniel. Cue Daniel going, “Mom. I don’t need to know every crazy thing you do!”

Even as she attempts to make waves in Claire and Kyle’s relationship, Audra covers her tracks with Nate. We think she should step further into this version of herself, personally.

No longer riding in the passenger seat of her own life, Claire takes matters into her own hands.

Wednesday, August 13:

Victor retaliates against Cane. Anyone else think he won’t make it through the week before he’s added to the list of enemies bested by The Mustache?

Nick loses his cool with Billy, and honestly, we get it. Jill’s son has an attitude enough for six people.

Jack receives an unexpected invitation.

Thursday, August 14:

It isn’t like Victor to delegate the responsibilities he likes the best — like fighting foes — but he recruits Nick to take down an opponent.

Christine asks Lauren for a favor. Matron of honor, perhaps?

His feelings for Tessa are growing by the day. Daniel confesses to Danny.

Friday, August 15:

Nice that they can still surprise one another after all these years: Sharon sees a new side to Nick.

Despite having proven a million times over that he can’t keep a promise, Cane makes one to Lily.

Adam loses patience with Chelsea’s loyalty to Billy.



General Hospital

Last week…

Britt finally speaks with the big boss, and Anna is taken hostage. Anna and longtime enemy Obrecht (whom you’ll recall once held Robin captive and let folks believe her dead) are about to cross paths! Ava has an idea which she presents as a proposal. Is Britt about to be discovered, or does something else take her by surprise? Gio runs into his stepdad, Chase. Molly and her dad get together for dinner. Wonder if the topic of his relationship with Ava will be broached?

Michael believes Willow tormented Daisy and Sasha, and Anna realizes Joss is heading straight for Britt. Jason, still convinced he saw Britt (despite what Obrecht said), confides in Sonny. Michael isn’t suspicious by nature, but he tells someone why his hackles are up. Lucas isn’t thrilled with Sonny’s recent actions, which is why he and Carly wind up having another very honest conversation.

Is Chase being there for Willow a little too much? Ava has some serious trust issues, which is why she puts Ric to the test! Will he pass or fail?

Anna tells Jason he must find Britt, and Drew makes Stella his next target. Anna sends Jason after Britt. How amenable to Carly’s “suggestions” will beau Brennan be? What causes Drew to go looking for Elizabeth? Britt’s never been big on rule following, so it should come as no surprise that she’s about to defy someone else’s orders. Things get heated between Lulu and Dante, who find themselves boiling over with anger. Anna and Jason have a certain connection. Will that play into how he reacts when she weighs in?
