CBS Soaps In Depth is confirming via Rogers, that the popular actor is heading back to The Young and the Restless, and that he will be back taping some scenes as Colin ( Cane’ dad and Genevieve’s long time flame) in early April that will air later this spring.
Tristan informed SID, “This is a two part thing. I go back briefly to set the scene and then you don’t see me again for quite a while.”

Hacks co-creator and Downs’ wife, Lucia Aniello shared on Hall’s casting, “It made sense to us that Jimmy’s late father, a big-time manager, would have been married to an actress. When the idea for Deidre Hall came up, it just felt right.”
As for Lloyd, he will portray, reclusive writer Larry Arbuckle, who is to have had a rather famous grandfather. In the episode, Hall and Lloyd’s character intersect, which leads to onscreen sparks.

“We had written some things that were flirty, but the chemistry was palpable,” says co-creator and series star, Downs shared. Hacks stars Jean Smart as comedy legend Deborah Vance.

GH fans are wondering about the last name of Davies new character, “Bryne”. If you recall, Alexis got herself involved with therapist Dr. Neil Bryne, who died when Harmony broke into Alexis‘ house and killed Neil by injecting him with opioids.

Nominations were announced on Tuesday for the 77th annual Tony Awards by previous winners, Renée Elise Goldsberry (ex-Evangeline Williamson, One Life to Live) and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
When the dust settled it was Stereophonic (which is loosely based on the story of Fleetwood Mac) and Hell’s Kitchen (Alicia Keys musical) that both scored 13 Tony nominations to lead the pack.
However, Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along made quite the comeback and is nominated for several awards including Best Revival of a Musical and for one of its stars, Jonathan Groff (ex-Henry Mackler, One Life to Live).

Groff is nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical and will go up against Brody Grant — The Outsiders, Dorian Harewood —The Notebook, Brian d’Arcy James — Days of Wine and Roses and Eddie Redmayne — Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.
In addition to his previous Tony nod for his role in Hamilton, Jonathan was nominated for a Lead Actor in a Musical for his role as Melchior Gabor in the original production of Spring Awakening.
Jonathan co-stars in the revival of Merrily We Roll Along “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe and previous Tony winner Lindsay Mendez.
Back in 2019, Groff visited Live with Kelly and Ryan and discussed his debut on One Life while working at night on Broadway in Spring Awakening.
He shared on his experience on the soap, “I do remember my first day because I was doing Spring Awakening on Broadway at the time, and One Life to Live was my first time ever being on TV. So I got this offer, and I was like, ‘Yes, I would love to be in a soap opera,’ and we finished Spring Awakening at 11:00 p.m. and I woke up the next morning at 4:0 a.m. to walk uptown to go to do One Life to Live, and I called my agent and left a message, and I said ‘You have to get me out of this, I can’t wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning!'” You can watch the clip below.
The 77th annual Tony Awards will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, June 16, with Tony and Oscar winner Ariana DeBose returning to host for the third time.
So, rooting for Jonathan to take home his long-awaited Tony Award after several decades in the theater? Do you remember him as part of teen scene on OLTL? Comment below.

I heard at ghh ,that frank says there will be a surprise like every 2 weeks In port charles ,and he also said that he wasnt hired by abc/disney to end general hospital like alot of people are saying , he never would have moved to the west coast,Looks like robert isnt coming back,I didnt think so ,I hope anna is staying,I would like to hear if she is coming or going .
I’m glad he’s heading back to a show (Y&R) that respects him. I just wish GH would do the same. Robert Scorpio is my all-time favorite character and I want to see a decent ending for the character. I want him to find Robin, find out that Ethan is his son and have more than a few scenes with Holly, Anna and Luke that are more in character. I hope Valentini and Carvilati bring RXS back and do him justice.
GH!!! He’s very good as Colin… but want more Robert Scorpio!
want more Scorpio on GH. This is his home on ABC daytime………….GH needs him to return and stay longer and bring Genie with him……….The new vengeful Laura to turn Port Chuck upside down with Scotty>
Me too. I love Tristan as Robert Scorpio.
Well, naturally want to see more Robert ,the way they left thing with Robert was just plain wrong, so I want him back, but I am a Tristan Rogers and will followed him anywhere. I love Colin/Jill so I hope whatever he’s doing in GC will involve her.
I’m glad he is returning to Y & R but I’m very disappointed in GH for not keeping him on GH longer. I’m also disappointed they way his storyline was written for him. Been a loyal fan of GH for over 30 years, I was wanted more of Robert & Anna.
Glad he is still employed but I love Robert Scorpio so much better than Colin!
If he’s only returning to be “Cane’ dad and Genevieve’s long time flame” I don’t care. He was great with Cane but the real magic was with Jess Walton/ Jill.
I haven’t watched Y&R for over 30 years to see Laura and Scorpio re-unite as different characters either. What I have been waiting for is for Jill – an 39 year character of the show-to find her man. So if Y&R plans to bring him back as some one dimensional evil doer, so Cane can rescue Laura , I won’t watch.
The writers rewriting of an the head of an Australian organized crime group to an Afghanistan drug lord in his last week on the show was a JOKE. What’s next clones?
I agree with you, Leisha. Sheer magic with Jess!
Anybody that remembers the real Robert Scorpio would have to say that he belongs in Port Charles! He was the heartbeat of that show for almost a decade! Why do I feel like tptb forget this? I wish someone would give us an explanation as to WHY they haven’t signed him to a long term contract. It just doesn’t make sense. Does anyone out there know why? Unless they plan on surprising us?? They seem to have embraced Finola which is great…but why not Tristan? The fans want him! I only came back because of the Scorpios returning! In the meantime, watch youtube for Anna and Robert clips if you want to watch great stories! So much fun!
Robert Scorpio was definitely the heartbeat that kept GH pumpimg all through the 80s and early 90s but the writers/producers doesn’t seems to understand that..They’re showcasing everybody but the one and only Robert Xavier Scorpio..Why won’t they put it to a test..Bring Robert back, write him in character and let him do his thing.
I agree with you,Hope!!!!
Even though there are tons of storylines at Y&R, I’m happy to see him return. I thought it a mistake to let him go in the first place. I like him and Jill together and they have a good story going.
It makes absolutely no sense what so ever, for Robert to have left under the circumstances he did. Robert Scorpio is a living Legend on GH and I am furious about the way his character was written, and then written off! Bringing back Finola is such a blessing, but Tristan needs to be there as well. He belongs on GH period!
Amen! RXS is my all-time favorite. I tuned back into GH just to see his return and was disappointed that I quickly tuned back out as soon as he walked out the door. TR is tremendous but the writer’s at GH continue to disrespect the character of Robert so for that reason I am happy to watch Colin again on Y&R. Someone over at GH needs to realize that Robert never was a deadbeat dad, that was all Guza’s doing, and bring back the REAL Robert Scorpio before I tune in again!
Ditto! 🙂
He definitely belong on GH and it’s why it hurt so bad.
I love Colin with Jill. Y&R ‘s writing is better than GH’s, and I think he’ll stand more of a chance at Y&R than he does at GH. Besides, for TR’s sake, he better stay on Y&R…hopefully it will be the last to go (over never go)…anyway, excited for more Colin. I just hope he’s not some ridiculous one dimensional villain just to move the plot along. I like the witty, sexy, flirtacious Colin that was with Jill. I loved those comedic scenes with Colin and Katherine and the Governor at Chancellor Estates. Tristan Rogers had a lot of gold stuff on Y&R. Too bad the rest of the show sucked at the time so it made it kind of hard to realize it. But the show seems to be stabilizing now as far as writing, so I’m really excited!!!
I love the multi dimensional character of Colin that Tristan has created…love him even more with Emmy winning actress Jess Walton. The two are a power house of talent and have a lot of story yet to tell. Not sure about ABC current use of him very dissapointed in his limited appearance and not being there for his daughters funeral. I like to think they have more of a story for him the way they set the story up….but have been dissapointed in the past with ABC..We’ll see. Cant wait to see him back in GC.
Yeah I’m so excited I see him on South African screens trying win Jill back and I see him April I never can get enough of Colin Atkinson I’m excited
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Aaah! Music to my ears.
Even if Tristan were doing just a CAMEO on Y&R it would be something!
So that being said, OF COURSE, I would love to see him do double duty on BOTH shows (but that would be a lot of bouncing between his blonde hair for Colin and brown for Robert) now that I am back to supporting GH full time and have been watching Y&R faithfully for many years now.
That news makes me sad. I was soooo hoping tptb on GH would wake up and listen to the fans clamoring for Tristan to return to Port Charles. I want Robert back with Anna and Luke!!
very upset that GH did not offer him something so he’d be on in the future. He’s a great asset to GH. They are fools.
Was so thrilled to hear he was returning to GH and tuned in to see him again play this iconic character alongside Anna Devane another icon. Unfortunately I was utterly shocked in how the character was portrayed , the miniscule amount of screentime and the how ultimately the ridiculous story played out.
I hope the new regime wises up and realizes his return brought them their only ratings increase since taking over . I want him to return to GH but only if we get the real Robert Scorpio. Anyone who knows GH history, knows that the one who showed up last month was not him.
I’ll watch him on Y&R but one of my all time favorite characters is Robert Scorpio so naturally I wish they would have kept him longer!!! And that his character would have attended his daughter’s funeral!!! And that he’d be returning to GH!!!! My all time favorite soap!!!!!
I like the actor, but I feel bad for all these abc actors moving to Y&R because MAB doesn’t know how to write for the core Y&R cast, much less all this extra talent coming onboard.
I’d love to see Tristan back as a regular on Y&R, he was great as Colin. The show needs a main villain rather than just have characters that just get in trouble.
oh my goodness, good old Tristen go back to Y&R again.. but when he will be on the air again this time, I know he left PC on March 8,2012. I followed him whenever I go..lol..b/c he’s my favorite idol since 1981 and still kept going going going..lol…
it is so hard for me to decide – i love both robert scorpio & colin atkinson… i must say i was not happy with the return of robert on gh – it just seemed so out of character for him………………………..i am looking forward to tristen coming back on y&r as colin………….
Oh, boy what mess does MAB have lined up for him now? I watched this show one day this week and FF thru all of it, until this bunch is gone all the Tristan Roger returns won’t help. So sad!!!
S-N-O-R-E!
