General Hospital Spoilers: Tristan Rogers Dishes On His GH Legacy, Playing Robert Scorpio & More!

Tristan Rogers will be celebrating his 40th year on “General Hospital” at the end of this year. He debuted the character Robert Scorpio in December 1980. As his anniversary approaches, Rogers looks back on his legacy on the popular daytime soap.

General Hospital Spoilers – It’s Not A Case Of Longevity

Although it’s nearly 40 years since he debuted the role, Rogers does not think of this that way, given that he has come and gone over the years. He played Robert Scorpio on contract from 1980 to 1992. Since Robert was first killed off in 1992, Rogers has returned on a recurring basis over the past decades.

“In terms of sheer work, John J. York (Mac) has been there longer than I have. Pretty much all the characters that I introduced on the show in the ’80s have been!” Rogers told Soaps In Depth.

While the cumulative years may be shorter than 40 years, Rogers understands how significant Robert Scorpio has been on the history of “General Hospital.”

“What stands out and what people point to where Scorpio’s concerned is that he was there during the most significant period of the show,” he told the soap magazine. “From ’83 to ’92, he was the police commissioner — and the commissioner was in charge. And that’s what people pick up on. It’s not a case of longevity.”
