Many fans who were hoping for more “face” time for Tristan Rogers, when he recently returned to General Hospital as Robert Scorpio, in the face of his daughter Robin’s “death”, will see him again soon, but back in Genoa City!
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.”
So what do you think will bring Colin back into the mix, briefly? Would you like to see Tristan get major story in Genoa City, or head back to Port Chuck? Let us know!

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.

Days of our Lives long-running cast member James Reynolds revealed on the November 10 edition of Entertainment Tonight that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and his character of Abe Carver will now be going through an on-screen Parkinson’s battle as well.
Speaking with ET’s Nischelle Turner, the 80-year-old actor and Daytime Emmy winner shared how he attempted to hide the warning signs dating back to 15-20 years ago when he would have, “What they call the hallucinations. My wife (Lissa) would say, ‘You were hitting me last night in bed,’ and I would say, ‘What?!’ I was having these really horrible dreams.” Reynolds also added that he realized falling out of bed was an early symptom of Parkinson’s too.
Discussing the on-going tremors that have become more noticeable over time especially in hands, James shared that when he finally told the Days of our Lives cast they were nothing but “extraordinarily helpful and supportive.”

SCREEN LIFE TO MIRROR REAL LIFE
Now with DAYS about to launch into Abe’s Parkinson’s storyline, Reynolds hopes that he can turn his experience into something positive by encouraging others facing the disease to keep fighting. During the sit-down, Reynolds co-star Jackée Harry (Paulina Price) recalls her reaction to learning of Reynolds’ real-life diagnosis and how she has continued to search for new treatments to inform James about.
Although Parkinson’s disease currently has no cure, there are medications and treatments can help those manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The condition progresses at a different pace from individual to individual.
As discussed in his conversation with ET, Reynolds cited Michael J. Fox and Alan Alda as two high-profile celebrities who have brought awareness to the disease.

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!
