Tris sauntered into my life on that first day to rehearse,” Finola wrote. “Cropped hair & steel blue eyes, I thought ‘damn, I’m gonna be working with Steve McQueen!’ From day one he called me ‘kid’ or ‘Finny’ and he made me laugh.”
She continued, “An effortless actor, living on screen, he taught me so much. Serious about his work, but always a rebel. His own man, navigating the system, he protected me, protected Kimberly, his character, his friends. God, he was a good one. Silly, funny, kind, serious. I am heartbroken for his awesome wife Teresa, his children Sara Jane & Cale. His family made him so happy and he adored talking about them. Love you Trissy. Mai Tai’s on the beach Scorpio… 🏝️ 🕊️”
Kimberly McCullough, who has played Tristan and Finola‘s daughter Robin Scorpio on General Hospital over the years, also took to Instagram to honor her late on-screen dad.
“Trissy forever,” Kimberly, 47, wrote along with a throwback photo of herself as a child with Tristan holding her and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
