This week's General Hospital saw romance and drama in Port Charles, but in the real world there was heartbreak as Tristan Rogers, best known for starring as Robert Scorpio, died at the age of 79.
General Hospital Executive Producer Frank Valentini announced the passing in a personal statement shared on the show's official Instagram page.
"The entire General Hospital family is heartbroken to hear of Tristan Rogers’ passing," he wrote alongside a photo of the actor.
"Tristan has captivated our fans for 45 years and Port Charles will not be the same without him (or Robert Scorpio). I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to his family and friends during this difficult time. Tristan was a one-of-a-kind talent and will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace."
On screen this coming week there will be more intrigue, as Monday August 18 will see Drew (Cameron Mathison) confront Sonny, while Tuesday will see Josslyn and Vaughn, who both work for the WSB (World Security Bureau), plot their next move when it comes to Britt.
On Wednesday August 20 Drew is left incensed – although when is he not, these days? – and on Thursday August 21 Emma, who has built a close friendship with Gio, will confide in him.
Friday will see Cody "want to come clean" – but about what?
