Tristan Rogers, the Australian actor who became a soap icon as Robert Scorpio on General Hospital, has died aged 79. His manager, Meryl Soodak, confirmed he passed away on Friday, 15 August, after a brief battle with lung cancer.
Rogers was diagnosed in July, only weeks before his death, and despite never being a smoker, the disease progressed rapidly. The news has shocked fans and colleagues who admired his decades-long career on daytime television.
