Tristan Rogers is being remembered by his longtime TV wife.
Finola Hughes, who played Anna Devane opposite Rogers' Robert Scorpio on General Hospital, took to her Instagram on Saturday, Aug. 16, to pay tribute to him in the wake of his death at the age of 79.
"Wish I could play one more scene with you, my friend," she wrote alongside photos of them together. "Tris sauntered into my life on that first day to rehearse. Cropped hair & steel blue eyes, I thought 'damn, I'm gonna be working with Steve McQueen!'"
"From day one he called me 'kid' or 'Finny' and he made me laugh," the British actress, 65, recalled.
Hughes called Rogers an "effortless actor" who "taught me so much" throughout the years.
"Serious about his work, but always a rebel. His own man, navigating the system, he protected me, protected Kimberly [McCullough], his character, his friends," she continued of Rogers. "God, he was a good one. Silly, funny, kind, serious."
"I am heartbroken for his awesome wife Teresa, his children Sarah Jane & Cale," Hughes added of the Australian actor's loved ones. "His family made him so happy and he adored talking about them."
Hughes ended her post, writing, "Love you Trissy. Mai Tai's on the beach Scorpio."
