It is with a heavy heart that we share the recent news of General Hospital legend, Tristan Roger’s passing.
Sadly, General Hospital news reports confirm that Tristan Rogers Cancer diagnosis was announced on July 17, 2025. Less than a month after the devastating announcement, the beloved actor has died. He was 79.
Reportedly, Rogers’s trusted and longtime manager, Meryl Soodak, confirmed Tristan‘s passing. Sources reveal that the General Hospital fan-favorite battled lung cancer as a non-smoker.
Tristan Rogers last appearance on General Hospital was on July 18, 2025, just one day after his diagnosis was announced. Recently, his character Robert Scorpio learned that he had a daughter with his great love, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms). Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) came into his life just a short time ago bringing light, love, and a Daisy. On July 18, Tristan got to play the role of dad and grandpa when Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) brought Sasha and Daisy to his door.
What a bittersweet time as Robert was able to enjoy Sasha and Daisy. But sadly, Tristan‘s time has been cut short. General Hospital Blog will keep Tristan and his family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers as we all reflect on his talent, and the iconic entertainment that he has brought forth over the course of 14,000 episodes of General Hospital.
Tristan Rogers and his family are in my prayers.
