'General Hospital' Co-Stars on the Passing of Tristan Rogers: Finola Hughes, Kimberly McCullough, Anthony Geary, Nancy Lee Grahn

Anthony Geary (ex-Luke Spencer, General Hospital) "I was depressed at the news of Tristan passing away. I have great memories of him and always will have. I’ve always thought Tristan was a good actor, a very giving actor, and fun to work with. Tristan was an enigma — comfortable enough to create a man of mystery. Working with him was an experience that I could always rely on to be funny, exciting, challenging, and infuriating — a perfect day’s work. The fun thing about working with Tristan is that he was unpredictable, always good for throwing in a surprise or taking a scene in his own direction. I always liked that."

"Wish I could play one more scene with you, my friend. Tris sauntered into my life on that first day to rehearse. Cropped hair & steel blue eyes, I thought ‘damn, I’m gonna be working with Steve McQueen!’ From day one he called me ‘kid’ or ‘Finny’ and he made me laugh. An effortless actor, living on screen, he taught me so much. Serious about his work, but always a rebel. His own man, navigating the system, he protected me, protected Kimberly, his character, his friends. God, he was a good one. Silly, funny, kind, serious. I am heartbroken for his awesome wife Teresa, his children Sara Jane & Cale. His family made him so happy and he adored talking about them. Love you Trissy. Mai Tai’s on the beach Scorpio… 🏝️ 🕊️"

If you know General Hospital, you know Robert Scorpio. @tristanrogers73 The man. The legend. The OG. I’m truly honored that I had the chance to work alongside Tristan on his very last day at work. Not only that, I got to spend real time with him…just making sure he was taken care of. You could see he was going through it, but the strength he showed to still be there… it spoke volumes. Most people in that situation might have said, “Stay home, take care of yourself.” But for Tristan, @generalhospital was his home. And there was no place he would rather have been. Even though he wasn’t feeling his best, he would joke around, still giving us a piece of who he was. That’s the mark of a true legend. Tristan, thank you for everything you did. You paved the way for guys like me. Rest easy, my friend. Your light and laughter live on. 🙏🏻❤️

Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis, General Hospital)
"Tristan and I had recurring characters on Babylon 5 yrs ago. He told me that standing next to me was the only time he wished he was shorter so that he didn’t have to hover over my ginormous head. When the director asked him to look me in the eyes, he said “I’d love to but that head is too distracting.” Suave, wry, smooth, debonair and ridiculously handsome. This GH Aussie Icon left his mark and will be well remembered. Sending love to his family, and just donated to https://go2.org/ in dear Tristan’s name. XO"
