Actors Carolyn Hennesy and Tristan Rogers chatted about being a part of the digital series “Studio City.”

On July 31, both actors participated in an in-person fan event in Glendale, California, which was a part of “General Hospital” Fan Club Weekend. In “General Hospital,” Tristan is known for his longtime portrayal of Robert Scorpio, while Hennesy plays lawyer Diane Miller.

Hennesy briefly spoke about playing Diane on “General Hospital.” “Initially, it was supposed to be a two-day job,” she said but noted that the audience liked the character and they have kept her on ever since.

“Diane is the smartest person in Port Charles,” she admitted. “Diane is the only character that Sonny (Maurice Benard) can get a straight answer from. Every character on that show needs the smartest lawyer in town, and that’s Diane,” Hennesy said.

This year, Rogers and Hennesy won Indie Series Awards for “Supporting Actor” and “Lead Actress” in a “Drama Series” respectively for their roles in “Studio City.” “It is such a good show, and people can watch it on Amazon Prime,” Hennesy acknowledged. “The show features Sean Kanan, Tristan, me, Sarah Joy Brown, and so many other great actors.”

“It’s a privilege to work with the crew because they are expected to deliver,” she added.

Tristan Rogers also won the 2020 Daytime Emmy Award for “Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Digital Drama Series” for his acting performance as Doc in “Studio City.” “Tristan delivers the performance of his lifetime on that show because it allows him to do things that his character can’t do on ‘General Hospital’ thanks to the script and its depth,” Hennesy said.

“This is the best work I have ever seen out of Tristan Rogers,” Hennesy added.

“I’ve worked for over 50 years in this business,” Rogers remarked. “It was a magical moment, especially when you get something like that given to you. My experience in ‘Studio City’ made it all worth it.”
