Key Takeaways
- Felicia gave Anna news about Robert.
- Anna had a breakthrough about Faison.
- The beginning of the end for Robert.
Robert’s Done With Port Charles
Despite Robert (Tristan Rogers) leaving town with Holly (Emma Samms) nearly two years ago, Anna (Finola Hughes) had hope he would return one day. Felicia (Kristina Wagner) dropped some good and bad news on Anna regarding her ex.
Mac (John J. York) spoke with Robert, who said he and Holly would be back in Port Charles before the end of the year. However, it wasn’t a permanent return to town.
Felicia told Anna that Robert planned to close out his DA job and go back to France with Holly. They have built a life there and have decided to call France home.
Anna Was Caught Off Guard
There’s no question that Anna didn’t expect Robert to stay away from Port Charles. Anna recalled to Felicia how Robert was the person who brought her to town all those years ago. She looked heartbroken and sad at Robert’s news.
During her therapy session with Dr. Nichols (Kearran Giovanni), Anna explained that there was more to her upset feelings than her history with Robert. The fact that he has chosen to live in France rocked Anna because being institutionalized in France broke her.
For Anna, France means Faison (Anders Hove). Suddenly, Anna feared she would never escape Faison as she talked to Dr. Nichols. The more she talked, the more Anna broke down and realized Faison only had power over her because she carried him with her.
It gave her hope of one day not fearing him, but it came at the cost of knowing Robert would be in a place she wasn’t sure she could ever return to.
The End of an Era
Anna, realizing the connection between her time in France and Robert deciding to stay there, was a nod to their history as well as what Faison put them through. The breakthrough for Anna puts her in better mental health space for what’s coming.
Robert’s plans signify that GH has begun to address the death of beloved actor Rogers, who passed away from cancer in July 2025. The ABC soap has said it plans to honor Rogers at the right time, which will mean saying goodbye to Robert on screen.
All the talk of Robert’s future and his impending return to Port Charles means that the tribute should be coming, hopefully this year. In order for Anna to deal with Robert’s death, she needed to be in the right headspace after what Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Sidwell (Carlo Rotta) did to her.
It’s a breakthrough for Anna, but fans know it simply means the end of an era for Robert is coming soon.
