Tristan Rogers made his poignant final appearance on *The Young and the Restless* during the August 26 episode, just under two weeks after his passing at the age of 79. In a moving return to the screen, Rogers reprised his role as Colin Atkinson for a heartfelt flashback scene with his son Cane, portrayed by Billy Flynn. The moment unfolded as Cane sat by his father’s bedside, offering him water while reminiscing over complex father-son dynamics. Colin’s signature charm surfaced when he jokingly requested a touch of scotch, but the true emotional weight came as Cane voiced fears of inheriting his father’s less admirable traits. With Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) entering the scene to provide support, the exchange grew introspective and layered, revealing Cane’s internal struggle with his identity. Later, as he revisited past memories, Colin encouraged him to shed his alternate persona, Aristotle Dumas, urging him to let go of the mask before it became a permanent part of who he was. The episode closed with a loving tribute — a black-and-white title card reading, “In Loving Memory of Tristan Rogers 1946–2025,” accompanied by a photo that captured the spirit of the beloved actor. CBS paid further homage with a special post from Jess Walton, honoring their iconic scenes together and acknowledging the emotional legacy Rogers left behind on and off screen. Though he first stepped into the role of Colin in 2010, Tristan’s influence endured through multiple returns, ultimately culminating in this final graceful farewell. Castmate Billy Flynn shared his gratitude for having the opportunity to work alongside such a talented and thoughtful actor. Meanwhile, longtime fans also remembered Rogers for his iconic portrayal of Robert Scorpio on *General Hospital* — a role close to his heart and one he helped shape into television history. His presence, both professional and personal, left a lasting impact that will continue to resonate through his work and the memories he created with fellow cast members and audiences alike.
