It’s so great to know that soon we will be getting the opportunity to see the one and only Tristan Rogers back where he belongs as Robert Scorpio on General Hospital!  Rogers, who currently also stars in Gregori J Martin’s web series, The Bay, tweeted from the set at ABC Prospect today as he began his first day back on the lone ABC soap!

Tristan tweeted, “First day back in The Hospital. Feels ‘out-of-worldly’.  First air date would seem to be 2/29. Interesting date. It only appears every leap year. Just did blocking with John and Fin. Great vibe”

Of course, Tristan is referring in the last part of his tweet to working for the first time in a long while with on-screen brother John J. York (Mac), and on-screen long-time sparring and love partner, Finola Hughes (Anna)!

Are you looking forward to Tristan’s big return? Let us know!

Love that Tristan and Finola are coming back. I have been wanting Anna and Robert to come back for a while. Can’t wait to see their scenes, but I know that it’s going to be so sad to see Kimberly ( Robin go off the show).

Do you remember Robert Scorpio teamed up with Shawn Donneely!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Tristan and Finola. They have awesome chemistry with KImberly McCullough. I am so happy they are back. I cant wait to watch.

tristan rogers is back as robert scorpio. finally good news at last. emma samms finola hughes im so thrilled they are all coning back. please bring back jackie zeman as bobbie. she has history with the show. im so sick of sonny corinthos and the mob. get rid of the mob and kill of sonny for goom. maurice benard needs to go.

Word is this isn’t a temporary return for Scorpio. Maybe its time little bro steps down as commish and let big brother take back his rightful place as commisioner and clean up this town. Sonny and the mob are no match for Robert Scorpio!

Fabulous to have these two great actors back… With the trio from hell gone (Frons, Phelps, Guza), we are going to see the real Robert and Anna.. Their chemistry was always off the charts…

Yes! I am looking forward to Tristan’s return.

He has THE best Ozzie accent (Loved when he did Outback commercials) and was just so sad that they wasted him on Y&R. He really had chemistry with Jill (Jess Walton). Then again, he has chemistry with everyone.

Isn’t there anybody this guy doesn’t generate chemistry with? He had chemistry with every, single character he worked with on Y&R and then he turn around and had rocking chemistry with Mary Beth Evans on the Bay..Dude, is a chemistry magnet…

I couldnt agree more he has great chemistry with everybody he’s on screen with. looking forward to his return to GH. Will miss him with Jess Walton on Y&R there loss is GH’s gain.

he was awesome on y&r especially his chemistry with jess………..i really loved their story line

I LOVE THIS! GH needs a huge shot in the arm and the Scorpios will help this show. I’m surprised that Tristan even wants to come back to ABC especially with the way they’ve treated him but it is a new regime and a brand new day, so I am excited about this!

John McBain is moving to Port Charles too. Maybe Robert will be his new boss at the PD. They would be great together! Glad that Robert is returning! Wonder if they are going to make Robin dye from aids? Hope not! They could also bring back Tiffany and Shawn. Remember them too?

I am absolutely ecstatic that he’s back on GH again, I LOVE this guy and he was sorely missed and I hope the new writers has plans to put him right where he belong..In the PCPD…..Only Robert Scorpio can restore Law and order in that town…He was the best police commissioner port Charles ever had.

being a long time fan of tristan i am so looking forward to his return – can’t wait to see him…………..

Yes!!! Love Tristan and Finola and with John and Robin and now Rick… even better!

Soooooooo Excited. Fans have waited what seems a lifetime to have our Robert Scorpio back. To me he is the show. Without out him I don’t watch GH. Feb 29 will be my first day watching GH since Tristan left the building. When Scorpio leaves, so does this fan.

I can’t wait to have Scorpio back on my Screen.
I haven’t watched in years. He was great on YR too!
Too bad they wasted his talent. Just like Guza did back in the day. What these shows don’t understand is. Tristan is a fan favorite. We watch because of him.
Hello producers wake up and smell the talent.

I’ve been away from GH so long, now it feel funny going back to it but I am all set and ready for Robert comeback on the 29th. I’ll followed Tristan Rogers to any soap operas, prime time series, movies or web series he pop up on. I am a big fan of this guy. I love his work.

Yea!!! Robert’s back.

Hope this is long-term

Well, the announcement on his return said he’d be around not for a short stint but the “forseeable future” I hope that mean until they turn the light off on GH. Port Charles need Robert Scorpio and he should never leave again..

Excited… This word does not describe how happy, that I am that Tristan’s back on GH.

Can’t lie! Disappointed that Robert, Anna, Noah and others returning are doing so now when Robin(Kimberly is leaving) dies. Robin shared scenes with these greats & it won’t be the same without Robin there. Don’t get me started on RC saying he couldn’t fix Robin’s exit and has her dying.

I came to GH and stayed because of Scorpio. The mob thing forced me away. I loved GH:NS2’s way of restoring Robert’s trashed character (or lack thereof), and putting the family back together. With the new guys coming in to write, I’m hopeful that they’ll give our vets the same chance to shine. But we’ve been fooled before by how vets are trotted through a ratings period and then disappear into think air. It would be a continued crime against Scorpio fans to see him just a part of the 80’s parade when his permanent return is so very needed. As GH comes to a close in Sept. we need our real heroes back to stay and bring down the Guza’s pseudo-heroes Sonny & Jason. If GH is going to die, may it have the chance to return to its former glory and shine.

I hope that Scorpio and the other vets stay on the show. I want Bobbie and Lucy back too. I wish we could get Felicia and Frisco back too and of course Alan Q. I know I am greedy but we can dream!

Well, I can’t see them finally getting Tristan Rogers back and not keeping him to the very end…Seriously, this is Robert Scorpio we’re talking about..Storyline possibilities are endless with him in town!!

Oh, Yes Sire Ree! I am so excited that I just canot hide it! ( A Pointer Sisters referance here. ) WELCOME HOME TRISTAN ROGERS! This 30-Plus Year fan of Yours is over the Moon with happieness and joy that You are bringing the greatest Male Character in the History of General Hospital Home! ROBERT XAVIER SCORPIO. NO other Actor or Character has ever had the same level of impact on General Hospital’s canvas as You and Robert did. I agree with al of the above posts. GENERAL HOSPITAL needs YOU. PORT CHARLES needs ROBERT XAVIER SCORPIO to restore Law And Order to the Mob Ruled Town/City! THANK YOU so much TRISTAN ROGERS. You are the best to Your fans!

Lori, you said it all..,,TR/Robert Scorpio is needed in Port Charles..I’m getting giggly thinking about the many fun things that can happen in Port Charles now that Robert’s back.

It makes me sad because of Robin and if she dies. I want KM to be able to pop in when she can. I also don’t think Patrick/Emma will do well. It kind of makes me bummed. But if they go there they do need to bring them in briefly for the storyline.

Love that Tristan is coming home! Equally thrilled about Emma’s return. I have always loved Holly and Robert. Hope the writers make Ethan a Scorpio, but don’t kill he or Holly off!

I just read that Tristan is only coming back for 6 episodes!!! I haven’t watched GH since the last time they brought Tristan back. I have only tuned back in this week because Tristan and Finola were returning. But once again I’ve been disappointed by GH! The show might not be in trouble if they would actually keep the characters that fans want to see! I will watch Tristan’s episodes, and be reminded of how great GH USED TO BE. I will then get annoyed when Tristan is gone…and tune out again! Good job GH, you screwed it up again! Somebody should just pull the plug on this show and end it. Obviously the powers that be want the show over. Scorpios rock!

Since both Holly and Anna are alive, who the heck is Robert legally married to?

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

Check out the video featuring Nancy’s friends and co-stars below.  Now let us know, your thought son the line-up for the benefit and helping raise awareness and funds for ALS research via the comment section.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
