Tristan Roger’s GH Hiatus
Robert Scorpio exited the canvas in November 2024 after reuniting with the love of his life and ex-wife, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms). He traveled along with her during her escape from Port Charles.
This was interesting since he had just found out that Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) was his long-lost daughter Holly never told him about; however, despite this, he and Holly mended fences and decided to waste no more time apart. Robert did promise he’d be back.

The ONLY comment I’m going to make is that I’m really get ANNOYED with all the POPUPS‼️ Trying to READ ANYTHING from CELEBRATING SOAPS is IMPOSSIBLE ‼️.
THEY ARE RELENTLESS ‼️‼️
Sending prayers to his family, cancer is no joke. I lost my mom to stomach cancer, my aunt is a survivor and so is my uncle, sending prayers and love.
Tristan, you have been my favorite on GH for many years. My prayers are with you and your family during this trying time Praying your treatment works.
So sorry to hear about Tristan’s diagnosis, I send prayers for Tristan and his family. Look at the cancer clinic in Tijuana they have great results.
My family went through this very recently. I understand what they are probably going through. Thank God my brother is on the road to recovery and we all feel extremely blessed.
My prayers are with Tristan and his family. Cancer is hard on the person that has it and equally hard on the family involved with their loved one. Surrounded by close family and praying friends and relatives is extremely important. Keep the faith.
