Tristan Rogers Remembered By General Hospital Co-Star Anthony Geary As Unpredictable 'Enigma'

As tributes continue to pour in for longtime General Hospital star Tristan Rogers, who died on Aug. 15 after a battle with cancer, one of the actor's most iconic scene partners is now sharing his thoughts on the profound loss.

Anthony Geary, who played Luke Spencer opposite Rogers' Robert Scorpio, tells TV Insider that he "was depressed at the news of Tristan passing away," adding, "I have great memories of him and always will have. I've always thought Tristan was a good actor, a very giving actor, and fun to work with." Geary calls Rogers "an enigma, comfortable enough to create a man of mystery."

Geary and Scorpio's characters first joined forces in 1981 for General Hospital's infamous Ice Princess storyline, in which Mikkos Cassadine threatened to hold the world hostage using a weather machine. In addition to their immediate on-screen chemistry, the two actors also developed a strong friendship behind the scenes.

"Working with him was an experience that I could always rely on to be funny, exciting, challenging, and infuriating — a perfect day's work," Geary continues. "The fun thing about working with Tristan is that he was unpredictable, always good for throwing in a surprise or taking a scene in his own direction. I always liked that."

Geary officially departed General Hospital in 2015, while Rogers continued to visit Port Charles until his final appearance in July 2025.

"It's been a long while since Tristan and I worked together, but then again, it seems like just yesterday," Geary adds. "Tristan was a character. And he'll remain a character to me. Not just Robert Scorpio, but Tristan himself — he was the bigger of the two characters. That's a good memory."
