Tristan Rogers has played Robert Scorpio on the soap on and off since 1980.
Hughes plays Anna Devane Robert’s ex-wife and dear friend and started on the show in 1985.
Hughes did not do a screen test with Rogers before being hired for the role of Anna.
Instead, they met for the first time on set.
She added, “His leg went up on the sink, and we rehearsed.
Hughes told the story about her early interaction with Rogers in that interview as well.
She said, “Well, it’s all memorable.
He was just really encouraging.
Everything I learned, I sort of learned through him.
He started us all off, this whole relationship and dynamic.
We had an awful lot of fun in the beginning.”
