In 2008 Tristan Rogers won critical acclaim for his return to Port Charles as
Robert Scorpio via General Hospital: Night Shift and Daytime Confidential named
him our Male Entertainer of 2008.
On today’s show Luke and Regan visit
with Rogers about his amazing year and what it was like to portray Robert
Scorpio, whose battle with cancer forced him and the fans to accept the reality
that he was no longer the indestructible super-agent we’d grown accustomed to
seeing on our screens. Rogers shares how seeing his former penthouse recreated
on Night Shift was spooky and how it brought back so many memories for him and
Finola Hughes. We ask Rogers about what it was like to work with Sri Rao and his
popular writing team at Night Shift and get his thoughts on what role Rao may
yet play in daytime.
The wedding of Patrick and Robin would not have
been complete without Robert Scorpio to walk his daughter down the aisle so we
talk to Rogers about how important it was for him to be a part of the momentous
occasion, what his favorite moments from the wedding were and how sentimental
the wedding was for Finola, Kimberly McCullough and himself.
Roger’s
online series Tristan Rogers Unscripted gave fans behind-the-scenes glimpse into
Night Shift that fans rarely see in daytime and he shares what it was like to
get everyone to appear on the series. The economic crisis facing the country is
having an impact on daytime and Rogers discusses can and needs to be done to
help save the genre.
Rogers gives an update on the auctions at
TristanRogers.com in support of the charity Project Cuddle and tells us how much
money his fans raised for the worthy cause.
