Now, if you’ve been watching GH for a while, you know Tristan as Robert Scorpio, a real staple of the show.

Steve talked about this during a recent episode of his podcast, That’s Awesome with Steve and Bradford , which he co-hosts with Bradford Anderson (a.k.a. Damian Spinelli). And honestly, what he shared was incredibly heartfelt. He described Tristan as a total warrior—someone who’s facing probably the most brutal fight of his life, but still showing up on set with a smile. “He’s a stud for coming in,” Steve said. And you could tell, he meant it. Despite the physical and emotional toll, Tristan was there, giving it his all, and doing what he loves—acting.
In a recent scene, Jason helped Sasha and baby Daisy escape Port Charles and took them to safety. And who opened the door on the other side? Robert Scorpio himself—Tristan Rogers. That moment, with Robert welcoming his daughter and granddaughter, wasn’t just scripted joy. According to Steve and Bradford, the happiness on Tristan’s face was real and incredibly touching.
And for fans who remember, there’s an eerie twist to all this—Robert Scorpio, the character , once had a colon cancer storyline years ago. It’s strange how fiction sometimes mirrors real life. While Tristan hasn’t shared what kind of cancer he’s fighting, the connection hasn’t been lost on longtime viewers.
But despite everything, Steve said Tristan’s in a good place—mentally strong, passionate about the work, and truly happy to be there. That energy clearly lifted the entire cast. Steve felt lucky just to spend that day working with him again, even if just briefly.
It’s stories like these that remind us how resilient people can be. Tristan Rogers isn’t just playing a hero—he’s living like one too. And for the GH family, both on set and watching at home, his strength is nothing short of inspiring.
