'General Hospital' Bids Farewell To Sofia Mattsson After 7 Years
'General Hospital' Star Tristan Rogers Diagnosed With Cancer; "He Remains Hopeful," Says Rep
Soodak told ABC/7 that Rogers was not a smoker.
'He loved being Scorpio and he created that role from nothing,' Soodak said. '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.'
The Australian-born Rogers played Scorpio on and off on GH since 1980. He won a Daytime Emmy for his work in the digital drama Studio City. Rogers last appeared on GH on November 12, when his character left Port Charles.
'The entire General Hospital family is heartbroken to hear of Tristan Rogers' passing,' General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini said today. '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.'

Reps for Rogers released this statement last month after revealing Rogers' diagnosis.
'While he remains hopeful and is working closely with his medical team on a treatment plan, this is a challenging time for Tristan and his family,' the statement read. 'As they face both the emotional and physical burdens that come with this diagnosis, the family kindly asks for privacy and understanding. They are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and love from their friends and family. Tristan sends his love to his fans and wants them to know how much he appreciates their loyalty and encouragement over the years. This support means more to him now than ever. Future updates will be shared if deemed appropriate by Tristan and his family.'
Besides GH, Rogers also appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless and The Bay.
Rogers is survived by his wife, Teresa; two children; and a grandchild.

YouTube apparently wants the Oscars – 5 reasons why it might be a great idea
YouTube is interested in hosting the Oscars, according to a Bloomberg report on Sunday, citing several people familiar with the matter. It would mean wrestling the rights from Walt Disney's ABC, which has long hosted the annual awards show and whose contract runs until 2028. Recommended Videos ABC already shows the Oscars on YouTube, but by owning the rights itself, YouTube would have primary control of the broadcast, giving it greater influence over how the event is presented on its platform. Like streaming rivals Netflix and Amazon, Google-owned YouTube is ramping up its coverage of live events in a bid to boost audience numbers. Bloomberg said that if YouTube managed to nab the rights to the Academy Awards, it would be 'a huge statement from YouTube and a shock to the industry.' Here are five reasons why it may actually be a good idea … and a couple why it might not. 1. Massive reach: YouTube is the world's most-visited video platform, with around 2.7 billion monthly active users. Giving the broadcast rights to YouTube could give a real boost to the Oscars ceremony, which has struggled to maintain relevance and grow audience numbers in recent years. 2. A younger, more diverse audience: YouTube is popular with younger viewers who are turning away from regular TV in increasing numbers. Having YouTube take control of the Oscars broadcast would likely bring in more of these younger viewers, as well as broaden the ceremony's multicultural audience, generating a wave of renewed interest in the annual entertainment event. 3. A more interactive viewing experience: The show could become a whole lot more engaging via things like live chat, polls, games like forecasting, and live behind-the-scenes material that viewers could effortlessly dip in and out of. 4. Influencer involvement: It could make the Oscars more fun with greater interaction with YouTube celebrities and influencers, bridging Hollywood and digital culture in ways that could make the ceremony feel fresh again. 5. Convenient on-demand viewing: YouTube can make it easy for viewers to enjoy the highlights, movie clips, or the entire ceremony on demand after the event is over, which would align nicely with changing viewing habits. Possible downsides: 1. Loss of its traditional TV broadcast audience: If YouTube wins the rights to show the event on its streaming platform, there's a risk that it could result in some people tuning out instead of tuning in, especially older folks who enjoy the Oscars but may be slow to hop aboard online streaming services like YouTube. 2. Possible technical issues: Streaming platforms are more prone to technical issues than traditional broadcasting operations. Netflix, for example, experienced a major livestreaming failure during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match in November last year. More than 60 million people tuned in, but many of them were met with poor image quality and buffering. YouTube would have to be sure that it can handle the potentially massive demand.

Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of August 18, 2025
Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of August 18, 2025. Discover your Weekly Work Horoscope for each zodiac sign here. Aries When someone asks if anyone has any ideas, you are the first person to open your mouth. You are taking a lot of initiative at the beginning of the week. And your boss is taking notice. Tuesday and Wednesday, all of your mental energy is focused on succeeding at work. Just be careful that you don't use anyone unnecessarily. You don't have to rule the world; you just have to achieve the goals you set out to achieve. And on Thursday and Friday, you'll be achieving them. This weekend, take a break. Be a creature of habit. Be as unambitious as possible. Taurus A financial opportunity will present itself to you on Monday, but it won't be worth the risk. You have enough going on right now to be distracted by wild schemes. On Tuesday and Wednesday, several already underway plans are going to achieve momentum, and you want to be on your toes. Best to keep your options open and stay agile so you can respond to anything. A minor setback (a power struggle) figures on Thursday or Friday, but don't let it rile you. It's just a weird clash of energy. Share your recent work frustrations with a friend or two over the weekend. You'll feel better. Gemini Your righthand person is at your side on Monday. The two of you are ready to take the professional world by storm. Your success these days has everything to do with the strength of the relationships you've built. Midweek, you may start to feel insecure about the direction you're heading in, but that's only because, with so many other people in the picture, there are a ton of unknown variables. Try to nail down some of those variables. And, at the end of the week, try looking at everything from someone else's perspective. You'll be amazed by what you discover. Cancer You're exhausted on Monday. All you want to do is crawl under your desk and take a three-month-long nap. Actually, a nap isn't a half bad idea. Sneak out of the office and do something relaxing or restorative for yourself. Tuesday and Wednesday are full of challenges at work, and, again, your energy level is not going to be as high as you wish it would be, but on Thursday you'll find ways to connect with coworkers and get pumped up about what you're working on these days. On Friday, flexibility is essential. You'll go into the weekend with more vim and vigor than you've had all week. Leo Maybe you can convince someone to send you on a business trip. You have a yen to travel on Monday, and if you could channel your personal desires into your work, you'd be smoking. Your personal life is at an all-time high too. At work, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, coworkers will notice an increase in your confidence and your capacity for leadership. It's all related. There's a chance that someone will misinterpret your boldness as arrogance at the end of the week, but don't cling too tightly to your notions of what other people think. Spend the weekend in listening mode. Prepare yourself to take on each month with your personalized Monthly Horoscope! Virgo Sometimes you just have to take a risk. On Monday, it's risk-taking season. Rather than projecting possible outcomes into the future, focus instead on your own composure. You have no idea what may come your way, and you'll be so much better off if you're poised and prepared for any eventuality. This posture will already start to pay off on Wednesday (someone will mention how fun it is to work with you) and by Thursday you're going to have opened yourself up entirely. You'll learn a ton. An eye-opening conversation on Friday will give way to an expansive weekend. Libra Communicate what's going on and you'll be in the clear. No matter how much control you'd like to have over this project, it's always a better idea to keep your superiors informed. That way, if you decide to call in sick on Tuesday or Wednesday (which you might) someone else at the office will have a clue about what's up. On Thursday, some new inspiration will strike you and you'll charge into work with some fairly significant refinements to the general strategy, but, in general, this week is about being in close touch with your colleagues and turning your camaraderie into something of value. Scorpio Feeling caught up in the moment, you may impulsively sign off on something on Monday. Sometimes being impulsive is smart, because impulsiveness depends upon intuition, and your intuition is pretty good this week. And anyway, with a little willpower and determination you can make anything work. A disagreement among coworkers midweek will give you the opportunity to show off your fairly developed skills at diplomacy. If only you could apply those same skills at home on Friday, when family life will completely consume you. This weekend, you'll get to hone a couple more of your hidden talents. Sagittarius The week begins with an adventure of sorts. A trip out into the field. Maybe a lunch. Joviality and good will figure strongly. Spending time developing your work friendships is as valuable as anything else you could be doing. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you will find a professional outlet for your creativity (your powers of expression are unsurpassed these days). Keeping up the lines of communication (even with a casual email here or there) is essential on Thursday. And on Friday, keep an open mind. All weekend you'll be thinking about ways to expand your horizons. Capricorn It's time for you to impose some structure on all these freewheeling projects. As things stand, nothing seems possible because no one has any idea where to begin. Once you put everything in order, productivity will improve. Everyone's working well together in the middle of the week thanks in no small part to your efforts, and your natural skills as a leader are going to impress someone higher up. Toward the end of the week, keep your eyes on the future rather on immediate priorities. Leave the immediacy to someone else. This weekend, ponder the big picture. Aquarius So many doors are opening for you on Monday. You thought you'd have to do a lot more convincing to get what you want. Instead, you have carte blanche, which means you're going to have to be disciplined about how you proceed. Don't shoot blanks into the dark. Spend the middle of the week being as precise and logical as possible. You'll be amazed by how much you get done. Keep your head down and don't expect any rewards until Thursday afternoon or Friday, when praise and happiness and bonus cash will likely fall upon you. A warning: don't rush out and spend that cash right away. Pisces Hopefully you're rested and alert on Monday. Work is going to require your full attention. A disagreement with the boss is going to set you on edge and finally give definition to the tension you've been sensing for a while. The truth is luck will be on your side. But all week long think before speaking and if you need assistance from someone, by all means, ask for it. (Later in the week, when things have calmed down, you can in turn be of assistance to them.) Friday afternoon you're daydreaming about the future, and the weekend is rich with soul-searching and self-discovery.
