TristanRogers dead at 79

Tristan Rogers has died at the age of 79. The Australian actor - who was best known for playing Robert Scorpio on General Hospital - passed away on Friday (15.08.25), just weeks after it was announced he had been diagnosed with cancer. His manager, Meryl Soodak, confirmed the news to ABC 7 Eyewitness News and reflected on how Tristan's long-time role on the medical drama had "meant everything to him". She added: "He loved being Scorpio and he created that role from nothing. "He was supposed to work a day and he ended up making it into something huge. He was just a genuinely loyal, kind human being and he loved his family." General Hospital's executive producer, Frank Valentini, said everyone who worked on the show had been left "heartbroken" by Tristan's death. He told People magazine in a statement: "The entire General Hospital family is heartbroken to hear of Tristan Rogers' passing. Tristan has captivated our fans for 45 years and Port Charles will not be the same without him (or Robert Scorpio). "I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to his family and friends during this difficult time. Tristan was a one-of-a-kind talent and will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace. Co-star Emma Samms, who briefly dated Tristan and played his on-scren love interest Holly, was "grateful" they had worked together for so long. She wrote on social media: "I am incredibly sad to hear the news about Tristan. I loved working with him and we were both so grateful that we got the chance to do that for more than 40 years. "He taught me how to be comfortable in front of the cameras and he introduced me to spontaneity and fun even within all the trials and tribulations that Robert and Holly endured.' Genie Francis felt "lucky" to have known the star. She shared a photo of them together and wrote on X: "My heart is heavy. Goodbye my spectacular friend. My deepest condolences to his wife Teresa and their children. Tristan Rogers was a very bright light, as an actor and a person. I was so lucky to have known him." Rick Springfield remembered his late co-star as a "charming" and "witty bloke". He posted: "Aussies are made of tough stuff but even tough stuff has its expiration date. Our friend Tristan Rogers, a charming, self deprecating, handsome and witty bloke from the Great Southern Land went home today. Bless and keep your spirit Tristan. Cancer sucks." The veteran actor joined General Hospital as Robert Scorpio in 1980 before leaving in 1992 when his alter ego was apparently killed. He briefly reprised the role - in ghost form - for a week in 1995 and made sporadic appearances in 2006. In 2008, he joined General Hospital: Night Shift and also appeared in four episodes of the main show the same year. He made frequent further appearances between 2012 and 2018 and rejoined the cast on a more permanent basis from 2019, with his most recent appearance coming last year. Away from the medical drama, Tristan also had a stint as Colin Atkinson on The Young and the Restless, appeared in over 100 episodes of The Bay, and received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for his work in Studio City. He is survived by his wife, Teresa Parkerson, and children, Sara and Cale.

As part of the launch, DW is partnering with cafe Blackwood Bondi for a special takeover until Saturday 16th August, delivering not only free coffee for the first 100 people in line each day, but the addition of a custom 'Moments that Matcha' drink to the menu.

'Weather you're looking for a winter romance or just hoping to spark a new friendship, you'll find more than just caffeine on offer at Cafe DW,' the brand said. While free coffee is a pretty solid incentive already, you could also get your hands on complimentary gifts from the brand's new collection, as well as gift cards and 'exclusive prizes for those who truly connect'.

'People have been customising their Chucks for decades, so I'm excited to help Aussies bring their creative visions to life at the Sneaker Studio' If you're keen on customising your kicks, you'll have to submit your vision at Fujifim's website, with entries judged on their creativity.

'The Traxedo is the perfect embodiment of that ethos: refined yet relaxed, elevated but unexpected, just like the perfect night in.' Appointments for Traxedo fittings will open on Wednesday, 20 August, and are available on a first-come-first-served basis, so if you want to lounge in luxury, get in fast. Zeekr 9X | Image: Supplied / Zeekr Get a free massage at Zeekr's Showrooms this August It's Friday, at that means it's the end of a long work-week, and you're probably feeling a bit tired. We get it. So do the people at Zeekr, who're offering free, walk-in massages out of six EV dealerships this month. The catch? Well, the massages are being delivered by the Zeekr 009's electric seats. That's right, if you were already interested in checking out one of Zeekr's EVs, now you can do so with the knowledge that you can get a free ~20-minute back rub while you're at it. There's no bookings needed, though you'll probably get a bit of a sales pitch while the car works it's magic: how relaxing! The deal isn't happening at every Zeekr dealership, though, so if you're keen on getting your shoulders worked out, head on down to the brand's showroom in Parramatta, Waterloo, and Chatswood in NSW; South Yarra and Geelong in Victoria; or Perth in Western Australia.

Veteran The Block judge Neale Whitaker walks away from Nine after 13 years for surprise role on Channel Seven

Longtime The Block judge Neale Whitaker has swapped networks, leaving Channel Nine after more than a decade to join the cast of Channel Seven's new renovation reality series My Reno Rules. Seven confirmed the move on August 15, revealing the design expert will head the judging panel alongside agent and Luxe Listings Sydney star Simon Cohen, and interior design specialist Julia Green. "I'm thrilled to be joining a show that will truly redefine renovation TV," Whitaker said in a statement. "Along with Simon and Julia, I get to share my experience with a new generation of Aussie renovators in one of my favourite cities. I can't wait to see the creative and innovative ideas our teams bring to the competition." Whitaker first joined The Block in 2010, judging alongside Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. After 13 years and 17 seasons, he officially stepped away in 2024, having already reduced his appearances in 2023 to care for his partner, David Novak-Piper, who was in poor health. He was ultimately replaced by real estate agent Marty Fox. "We all hoped that by this year I would be able to return full-time to the show, but life doesn't always run to schedule," Whitaker wrote on social media at the time. "...I've handed my judging sheet permanently to Marty Fox, who stepped in so brilliantly last season, and I know he will have a blast with Shaynna and Darren as I did for 17 seasons. It's been such a privilege to be part of Australia's most iconic TV show for an unbelievable 13 years – unbelievable to me, anyway." The 63-year-old's departure came just weeks after the show's well-known firey foreman, Keith Schleiger, also announced he was stepping back to spend more time with his family. Beyond The Block, Whitaker is also recognised for co-hosting Love It or List It Australia with property expert Andrew Winter since 2017, and for his past editorial roles at Vogue Living and Belle magazine. Seven first teased My Reno Rules in July, confirming it would be fronted by celebrity vet Dr Chris Brown. The series will see four teams of Aussies compete to transform two rundown houses in a picturesque Melbourne suburb for a cash prize. However, in a twist, two lucky Aussies will win the finished multimillion-dollar homes, fully furnished, landscaped, and kitted out with cutting-edge technology. "It may be the biggest giveaway ever on Australian TV," Brown told Sunrise on July 24. Adding to the excitement, rewards program LMCT+ founder Adrian Portelli- a familiar face to The Block audience- has donated the two houses for the series. Portelli made headlines in 2024 when he bought all five Phillip Island Block homes for more than $15 million, later offering the entire resort as a giveaway through LMCT+. "On previous reno shows, they might do auctions and, unfortunately, only one per cent of the viewing audience have the capacity to buy those homes," Portelli said. "So, it's an awesome feeling to be able to take the viewers on an emotional journey, watch the houses get renovated and transformed into a dream luxury home, then potentially win it. It's fantastic. It's phenomenal." My Reno Rules will air on Channel Seven and 7plus in 2026.
