SCORPIO RISING

After just over 13 years (well, 10 if you count Robin's vision in 1995), Robert Scorpio returns to the canvas in February.  "With the surprise hit of Noah Drake returning, we're enjoying expanding our canvas with actors who are connected to the show," explains Charles Pratt Jr.

No one was more surprised by the turn of events then Scorpio himself, Tristan Rogers.  "I don't have too much to tell you," chuckles Rogers of his six-week return to his former stomping grounds.  "To be honest, they've only given me a parking space and a dressing room, and that's as much as I've been told.  In the last 13 years, this is a rumor which has surfaced like clockwork.  The first words to my manager were, 'Stop wasting my time!'  My manager said, 'It's for real.  They want to do it.'  But I was still skeptical.  I said, 'Go away, and get a few details.'  It happened very quickly."

Those details are being kept hush-hush, but Rogers is looking forward to going back to the future.  "I'm intrigued," he admits.  "I've been off the show now longer than I was on it, but the idea of resurrecting this character after that period of time is most interesting."  One thing's for sure - Rogers can't wait to find out what happened after Robert supposedly perished in a boat explosion in 1992.  "This guy has been away for 13 years.  What kept him away for that period of time?  There's a gazillion unanswered questions here.  Heaven forbid we get into a situation like Dallas, where it was all a dream [laughs].  That would be a real insult to the viewers.  I'm sure they've done a lot of hard thinking about this before it was actually done."
