General Hospital fans said goodbye to Robert Scorpio this week. But is Tristan Rogers done with the show? Keep reading for what we know about the actor’s exit.
Robert Scorpio Leaves Port Charles, But Not Alone
Tristan Rogers joined General Hospital as Robert Scorpio in 1980. He’s still a fan favorite decades later. The actor has come and gone on the show many times over the years. But this week saw Robert Scorpio get what looked like a happily after ending with one of his greatest loves.
Robert Scorpio has truly loved two women during his time on GH – Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Holly Sutton (Emma Samms.) Holly returned to Port Charles in September after it was revealed she was being held captive with Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson.) Anna and Jason (Steve Burton) eventually freed them both and they all returned to Port Charles.
While in PC, Holly dropped a bombshell. She was revealed as Sasha’s (Sofia Mattsson) mother. Furthermore, she confessed that Robert was Sasha’s father. While viewers didn’t buy the timeline, paternity tests (allegedly; it’s still a soap) proved otherwise. After dropping the shocking news, Holly decided to leave town once again, despite Anna’s encouragement to tell Robert how she really feels.
After a heart-to-heart with potential love interest Diane (Carolyn Hennesy,) Robert realized he still had feelings for Holly. He met her at the airport and the two shared a kiss as they left town together. Is that the last viewers will see of Robert Scorpio on GH?
Is Tristan Rogers Done With General Hospital For Good?
Before leaving Port Charles, Robert made it clear to Sasha that the plane tickets were round-trip, indicating that he plans to return to Port Charles to bond with his newfound daughter. General Hospital fans speculated on Reddit that an illness or age might have caused Tristan Rogers to leave the show abruptly. Is the actor gone for good? Fans hope not. One wrote, “This is Robert Scorpio!! He deserves fanfare when he leaves.”
There aren’t any official plans for Tristan Rogers to return, but sources say that the show will bring him back next year, with Holly in tow. Perhaps when he finds out that Holly pulled another con on him, and Sasha is not his daughter?
Do you think Robert (and Holly) will return to Port Charles or was that the end of the characters? Sound off in the comments.
