How Many Times Has Robert Died?
There was no way I could put this in a trivia game, because I just don’t know the answer. I’ve thought back and looked at old videos, and to the best of my recollection I have posted my answer below (so don’t look there yet if you are guessing your own answer). Think about it and use the comment button to discuss or correct the list.
How many times has Robert died? 1) In the Asian Quarter story; 2) Sean killed him (thinking RS fell from the Alpine car); 3) At the New Year’s party with Katherine; 4) Shot by Luke’s cousin, Bill (The Cartel story); 5) On the ship in 1992 with Faison and Anna

My GH Journey
I was one of those who was drawn into General Hospital
At 2 p.m. Monday-Friday you would know where to find me- (unless other circumstances happened, and the VCR came into play) watching Robert and the well written stories of adventure, romance, intricate relationships, and family connections. Then 1992 came and Tristan Rogers and Finola Hughes left the show, in the middle of what had been a charming love story that brought their family back together. I tried to continue watching, but Tristan “had left the building” and the beloved characters and stories were no more.
Eventually
