‘General Hospital’ Head Writers “Heartbroken” over Tristan Rogers Death; Plan to Pay Tribute to Him and Robert Scorpio
If you ever want to know if the head writers of your favorite soap operas can relate to what their viewers are going through, in some respects they can, especially when it’s for a beloved actor and legacy character such as it is for General Hospital’s late Tristan Rogers.
Since 1980 when he burst on to the scene as super spy Robert Scorpio, until as recent as this past July on-air, Tristan became an iconic fan favorite. While GH head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten have revealed their plans to honor Leslie Charleson and her Port Charles alter-ego, Monica Quartermaine, they also shared with TV Insider they will be planning something grand for Rogers, as well.
Korte and Van Etten shared, “We’re heartbroken by Tristan’s passing. He created the consummate General Hospital hero; Robert Scorpio was swashbuckling and sensitive, smoldering and vulnerable.”

Tristan was able to make one last return to the show he loved in episodes that aired back on July 17 and 18. It was just under a month later that he passed away from his battle with lung cancer at the age of 79 on August 15.
In story, Scorpio got to spend time with and keep his newly-found daughter, Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) safe, as well as his unborn grandchild, who left Port Charles after they were being targeted (by Willow). Jason (Steve Burton) brought Sasha to safety across the ocean and into the home and arms of her father, marking the final GH appearances of Rogers.

The head scribes noted that they feel, “fortunate that he (Tristan) was able to make one last return, and that his scenes centered on expanding his Scorpio family.”
GH fans should be on the lookout down the line for a Robert Scorpio-focused tribute episode. Elizabeth and Chris noted, “He is sorely missed, and we aim to pay tribute to Tristan and Robert the same way that we did for Leslie and Monica.” Viewers will see later this month just how the death of Monica Quartermaine was handled and how it will impact the canvas.
So, glad to hear that General Hospital is planning to pay tribute on-screen to Tristan Rogers and the character he played, Robert Scorpio? How would you like to see him honored? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
So what date is Monica death going to be
No tribute to Tristan/Robert would be complete without Kimberly McCullough and Emma Samms. The show will need to coordinate schedules (adding Sofia Matson as well). We’ll also need Kirsten Storms back. The memorial would be a good time to introduce a teenage Noah Scorpio-Drake.
How about adding in a blast from the past… Edie Lehmann as Katherine Delafield to do a duet with Gio at the memorial. Flowers could be mentioned being sent by Tiffany and Jackie.
It will likely be February before we get to see the send off Tristan (and Robert) deserve.
OG Steve, I hope the writers hear your suggestion on the flowers sent by Tiffany and Jackie.. or hire you as a GH consultant.
Balance his action scenes with his personal moments, like casually asking Robin how old she is and the look on his face when he realizes her age matches the time of his brief marriage to Anna.
I’m looking forward to seeing these special tributes to these amazing actors and characters, they(Monica and Robert) are missed for sure, I hope the show will also pay tribute to Denise Alexander who also passed away and was also a so important to the legacy of GH. I can just imagine how difficult this is for the show to navigate, GH has had a lot of losses over the years.
So great that the writers of the show are being respectful to the deaths of their longstanding performers. Soaps are a family–after all.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Break Up After Realizing They Can’t Trust Each Other

Trust issues were cited as the reason for the break-up of Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) on the Monday, September 14 episode of General Hospital, ending the their complicated romance once and for all.
The episode began with the pick-up of Jason and Britt’s argument over Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) at the Quartermaine boathouse. Britt is in disbelief that Jason continues to take Anna’s side, and that he will not back her up as her witness, as she wants to report Anna’s attempted murder of her to the PCPD.
Jason tells Britt that Anna had been pushed to the brink through the mental torture she’d endured while held captive at Wyndemere, and accused Britt of doing nothing to save her, when she knew exactly what was going on as she was at Wyndemere as well. Britt told Jason that she’d been a victim of Sidwell and Cullum too, and by the time she figured out what was happening to Anna, they had moved her somewhere else.

BELIEF SYSTEM BROKEN
Then, Jason clearly lets Britt know he doesn’t believe her version of what transpired. An enraged Britt fires back at Jason in disbelief, that he is siding with Anna instead of her, when he was on Mount Emerson and saw for himself how Anna was planning to kill her. Suddenly, Britt wants to know if Jason would have helped Anna cover her tracks, if Anna had killed her.
Next, Jason argued that Britt seemingly needs to believe Anna would have killed her when he knows deep down Anna would never have murdered her. Jason thinks Britt is trying to absolve herself of her own guilt and complicity in keeping Anna locked up.
Britt shouts “You need to believe that! Otherwise, you’d have to admit that your friend is unhinged and dangerous. And she would have killed someone you say you love!” Now at a complete impasse, Britt walks out on Jason realizing they don’t trust each other and calls it quits.

PICKING UP THE PIECES
Later, Jason finds Carly (Laura Wright) at the Metro Court, and while in an elevator fills her in that he doesn’t trust Britt, and that as much as he loves her, he doesn’t trust her like he does Carly. Britt is back at the hospital.
A concerned Tristan (Dean Geyer) tries to talk to her about what transpired with Anna. However, Britt clams up and walks away from any discussion.
Now in the General Hospital teaser video for the action on Tuesday, September 15, Jason ask Carly (over beers and a game of pool) “When you lie for a living, how long before you start lying to yourself? Take a look at that below.
Let us know, are you glad that Jason and Britt finally called it quits? What about the reason that the couple broke-up, over Britt knowing about Anna being locked-up at Wyndemere and Jason not willing to back Britt about Anna trying to kill her? Is Tristan the next man for Britt? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

‘General Hospital’ Favorite Kirsten Storms Gives Update on Apartment Break-in That Caused “Unnecessary Custody Case”

Kirsten Storms (Maxie, GH) is sharing more details on the December 2025 apartment break-in and the difficulties she has had with the Tennessee police, plus how the original incident, according to the actress, played into her ex-husband, Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, GH and ex-Stefan/Jake, Days) filing a restraining order against her and the custody case involving their daughter, Harper.
The popular actress had played GH’s Maxie Jones on and off since 2005, after coming to the ABC soap opera following her run as Belle Black on Days of our Lives. As GH fans know, Storms last appearance on General Hospital was back in March of this year. In recent episodes, the character of Maxie was written-out along with her entire family and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and relocated to Australia.
Now, Kirsten explained via Instagram and with shared photo of the December police report, which indicated Storms had placed a call to the Franklin Police Department to report a break-in at her Tennessee apartment. The report states that Storms was away from her apartment for about a week in August of 2025, and when she returned home, she found damage to the deadbolt on her door, as well as other missing items.

KIRSTEN STORMS SPEAKS OUT ABOUT CUSTODY CASE OVER HER DAUGHTER
Then, Storms fired back at naysayers in the ongoing comments on her break-in situation, stating: “Please do not tell me (or ask me) not to post these things. I’m hoping this is the last item I post (of the documents I have on the break-in at my old apartment in Tennessee). I’m only doing this because that lead to an **unnecessary custody case** being filed against me.”
It was back in April that TMZ learned, through obtaining of court documents, that Barash cited Storms for having mental health issues so he filed a restraining order against her. Kirsten expressed in her latest post, that she was asked to meet with a mediator in the custody case for her daughter, not a judge, and that her mental health issues were being used against her instead of people focusing on the break-in.
Storms added, “However, the break-in … followed by a ‘custody case/now mediation request’ where the break-in was the main reason for the initial custody filing, was unwarranted.”
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CHECK
Kirsten also shared on her health status,”I have always been proactive about my medical care (all aspects), as well as Harper’s (<—— the MOST important person to me). I’ve also been attempting to get checkups with a neurosurgeon/neurologist for my brain aneurysm and brain cysts. And tbh, I have a psychologist that I’ve seen for years, who I’m kinda attached too. She’s f’ing incredible and understands the kind of therapy sessions I need. Addressing what should NOT be the focus (mental illness), is frustrating for me”
You can check out Kirsten’s latest post on the custody matter, and her ongoing battle over the apartment break-in while in Tennessee below.
Now let us know, glad to hear from Kirsten and hear more of her side of the custody story and her ongoing issues with this apartment break-in? Let us know via the comment section below, and if you miss seeing her on-screen on General Hospital and hope one day she will come back.
