Good for him! Actors go where the work is. I do hope to see him bring Robert back to GH when his time at Y&R is done.

I will miss Robert like crazy…I love this character and have since I first started watching GH. I always look forward to when he is on the canvas (and I hope and pray that he will be able to come back as Port Charles isn’t the same without him and his relationships with Luke, Anna, Robin, et. al). Having said that, I’m thrilled that Tristan has a year-long contract with Y&R. Although there is a little part of me that’s muttering about Robert leaving, I wish him the best in the reincarnation as Colin. (Who knows??? It may be the… Read more »

I love Tristan and love Robert Scorpio. I don’t blame Tristan one bit for taking the Y&R job but I do admit I will miss him as Robert. Hopefully, he’ll come back someday soon!

At least Y&R utilizes their vets/older characters better than any other soap. GH would have made Scorpio part of the woodwork soon enough in favor of the younger crowd.

I don’t blamed Tristan for taken the offer, I love, love Robert Scorpio but I’m hoping he’ll be back but in the meantime? I’ll be checking him out as Colin over on YR.

I understand what Tristan is saying about his playing the two characters. I love him as Robert Scorpio and will always want him back on GH as much as he can be. Tristan is so talented and he should go where the work is and ride it as long as he can. I understand that Y&R and Sony have more investment in the future than the fickle ABC network. For me… GH is number 1 and I will continue to hope… he comes back as Robert many more times before GH is sunsetted. I watch Y&R currently and will welcome… Read more »

As long as Colin’s ex-wife, the ill-conceived character of Genevieve created by Maria Arena Bell, doesn’t show up, I will welcome him whole-heartedly back to the Y & R canvas!!

I wish Tristan was staying at GH. It has been wonderful having him back with Anna and Robin and Luke. Guess the powers that be at GH weren’t prepared to offer him a long term contract and Y&R was. Actors have to make a living.
I will miss Robert Scorpio and hope he comes back one day.

I like him on both but more on gh but he lights up both shows

I’ll watch him wherever he goes.

Well, I guess that puts to rest, once and for all, whether or not it was GH or TR not wanting to commit to a contract, doesn’t it???? I like to think of Robert and Colin as the same character. Just leading a double life! 😉

I watch only GH….so I’ll miss him!

If Carlivati and Valentini were arrogant enough to assume that Tristan was sitting around waiting for their call, more power to Tristan leaving a sinking ship for a more stable one.

I don’t believe for one minute that Carlivati had big plans for my beloved Robert for February, because Tristan would have heard from them in October if that was the case.

I love Tristan and I respect his right to choose where he wants to work but I will miss him terribly on General Hospital! It is a huge loss to GH and to the GH viewers and a real shame since I believe they had some exciting stories planned in 2014 featuring Robert Scorpio. I hope things work out well for him on Y&R but when his contract there is up, I hope he will return to his GH home!!!

In my mind… Colin is already an established character…

he went for it; his last visit to Genoa City… he sparked intrigue with Jill and Cane… I’ll miss Genevieve.

so… he’s smart to go where he’ll establish and plant roots and grow on another soap.

as Heidi said: as long as he comes back as Robert many more times before GH is sunsetted.

Its the actors choice where he or she wants to work…sounds like Tristian felt limited playing Robert…well, he was at GH longer so of course his Y&R role is fresher with more story to explore…id rather he played Robert but he’s got to do what is best for him and i dont blame him…id do the same…hope they do give him what he wants and i wish him well…he’s been gone from GH b4 and can always return when his contract is up if he wants to and GH wants to bring him back unless Y&R keeps him. GH will… Read more »

I watch both Y&R and GH..
GH is by far the better soap..
Tristan seems happy to be back at y&R so good for him 🙂
I really wish he would take Robin with him..

I wonder how many others from GH that JFP is hoping to pull over to Y&R..
I also notice, at times, Y&R copying GH ..

quote Tristan;
” We were supposed get those shows done by Oct. 31 but that hadn’t happened yet. I’m still working out those shows now. They added a few more, actually. I’ll be pretty much working up until the show goes dark. ””

(((( what did mean by ”until the show goes black”…??

From his point of view..he went where the contract was offered. No one can fault him for that. From where I sit…GH should be ashamed of themselves for letting him slip away. This show has so much dead weight clinging on…if they’d cut it loose…they could afford contract salaries. Dead weight…Sonny…Sean…Olivia… Felix..Brad…Franco…TJ…Taylor…the show has aseverely bloated cast and we don’t see some of the cast for weeks and months on end. Personally…the Colin/Cain storyline was a convoluted mess and no one had any idea who the character was or what the story should be. Was he a brutal mafia don?… Read more »

I agree actors should go where there’s work…guaranteed work…meaning a contract. I wish Rogers well in that regard. Based on his interview here, even GH was blindsided by his Rogers management. Rogers didn’t even finish filming what he was supposed to. By no means does anyone have to answer to me but I would have liked Rogers management or Rogers himself to ask GH directly if they had concrete plans for him. If not, then Rogers could move elsewhere. Yes, GH didn’t give him a contract now but he was OK with that going in. I think whatever work your… Read more »

Of course he made the right choice, although Y&R is boring right now (in my honest opinion but with good stories it could change) as an actor he wants to be challenged..i TOTALLY UNDERSTAND him ! He can always come back later as Robert Scorpio on GH when he will have explore enough Colin on Y&R.

Y&R is a sinking ship. GH is more exciting show right now.

From the sounds of things, he is sick and tired of playing Robert Scorpio, a role that made him a household name in the early 1980’s.

Anthony Geary Syndrome!

It will be interesting to have him back on Y&R as Colin.
I just hope they don’t kill him off as Robert on GH.

Tristan made a mistake. Colin is a horrible character, and the Y&R is a hot mess these days. Robert is his signature role, and I hope he returns to GH as soon as his contract expires. His leaving GH is ruining Robin’s return!

Tristan will be back to GH,

I just hope Frank and Ron get him back on contract at GH in a year. I love him and GH needs the entire Scorpio family!

Before Tristan went to GH he was with Y&R we just never seen him..
I was excited when it was announced that Tristan was returning to Y&R over an year back, but he was never used and was only seen for a few seconds on the phone..
Tristan was totally wasted at Y&R and then he went GH, now he’s back at Y&R, go figure..

Its a shame that robert isnt sticking around gh. So many great story possibilities with so many exceptional acting partners. Theres no better bro duo than robert and luke. Plus the complicated relationship between robert and anna still has years of possibilities. The fans are being denied some amazing storiy possibilities with the departure of tristan rogers

He did what any working actor did. He took a deal that’d better him in the outcome. It’s clear Y&R was offering something more that GH wasn’t, so I’m happy he’s returning. The Colin storyline was too unfinished.

I only hope this means Genie Francis is making a return. Genevieve is well missed, and I loved her character so much! So much more could be done with her.

I understand tptb predicament at GH with the finances… but how do they not understand having the core GH characters, the ones that actually raise the ratings.. the families the long term audience is invested in: Spencers, Scorpios, Q’s…. well the actors that play THOSE roles are the ones in need of a contract… not the newbies, or the OLTL imports. I wish Tristan all the best. I only watched YnR when Genie Francis was there, and enjoyed her and Mr. Rogers interactions.. but otherwise not invested in any characters over there and will not watch. Especially with JPF at… Read more »

I watch both soaps and Y&R has become so dark with the killing off of another child especially after we just lost Catherine. I agree with Patrick …”the Colin/Cain storyline was a convoluted mess and no one had any idea who the character was or what the story should be.” Colin was a very evil person absolutely hated and despised by Cain. JFP came in then Colin and Genevive vanished ..funny now Colin is coming back now …. Bringing back Tucker would be more interesting ….
hope it works out for all …

Congrats to him, he will always only be Robert Scorpio to me, but since those fools at GH won’t put him under contract I’m glad Y&R appreciates his awesome talent! Gh lost out on that one big time.

I grew up watching Scorpio on GH and return to GH anytime Robert shows back up. Valentini and Cartini missed the mark by not using Tristan as a part of a regular and ongoing storyline. He IS a fan favorite and lured me away to Y&R when he went there. So count me as a Colin fan, and one who can’t wait to see Jill and Colin in action.
