Why General Hospital's Carolyn Hennesy Sees A Romantic Future For Robert And Diane

As the attraction develops between Robert Scorpio and Diane Miller on "General Hospital," Miller's portrayer, Carolyn Hennesy, spoke with Soap Hub about this new story. She completely admires Tristan Rogers, saying, "I'm loving it because I love Tristan so much." She added, "Any time I get to spend with him is a joy for me. I love Tristan 'the curmudgeon' — and I mean that in the most wonderful and delightful way." Hennesy felt she and her character enjoy Rogers' sense of humor, which helps make the couple fun. "Robert and Diane are both at stages in their lives where this (relationship) works," she stated.

Because the fans enjoy taking the names of romantic partners on soaps and combining them, Hennesy created one for herself and Rogers. "I've taken a liberty and started calling us 'Disco,' which I think is hilarious," she said, explaining it's a combination of Diane and Scorpio. Hennessey is aware that Scorpio's two great loves, Anna Devane and Holly Sutton, are otherwise indisposed — with Holly being on the other side of the planet, and Anna with Valentin Cassadine. Therefore, she hopes that Diane and Scorpio's pairing will develop further, stating, "I think people want to see 'smart funny' and romance."

While their potential romance has taken a back seat to some other major storylines, we can't wait to see them come back to the forefront and possibly become a new super couple!
