General Hospital icon Tristan Rogers — absent from the show since 2006 — will headline the second season of SOAPnet's General Hospital: Night Shift as Robert Scorpio when the series returns next month.

Scorpio will arrive with "a major health issue that’ll have him grappling with his mortality," says a rep for the GH spin-off.Robert's daughter, Robin (Kimberly McCullough), will be his physician. Sounds pretty damn dire, but Rogers is thrilled. "This’ll be a real departure wherever it's headed," he says. "Robert and Robin will finally get a chance to connect as adults.

But he’s got way more than that to deal with now: Robin is pregnant. — Michael LoganRelated:• Antonio Sabato, Jr. Working the GH Night Shift• New Night Shift Promises Continuity with Original GH

GH says we should expect Anna to literally "drop in" while Luke and Robert are on the run from the law during another trip to the fictional Maarkam Islands.
"I am very excited to be reprising
