  • I don’t have the right words to express the grief of the loss of our dear friend Tyler. He was an extremely talented, deeply soulful, and loving father. I believe he is finally free of his immense pain. I just wish it could’ve happened while he was here. We will miss you Tyler and never forget you. 🙏🏼

    I give Maurice a lot of credit for doing this show. He has had some of the best conversations on mental health that I have seen with people. This was a very good interview and a great tribute to Tyler Christopher may he rest in peace.

      I agree Tyler was phenomenal. but since three other actors have played the part, and he is a LEGACY character. , it’s highly unlikely they will kill off Nicholas off . This only works when the character is played by 1 actor , like SONYA EDDY as Ephiphany . Jason is killed of FOR NOW , but if needed , they will bring the character back

I could tell in the interview that he was still struggling but that made it even more authentic. Alcholism is a terrible monster and getting out of its grip is almost impossible. I am so grateful to be sober today. It took a long time but through Gods help I made it. My heart goes out to all those who suffer and have lost loved ones . RIP Tyler

He was just like Billy in my opinion l, a great actor with great range,

    So much of this interview had some foreshadowing but what broke me was when Tyler was talking about having passed away previously, as he was lying on the bench homeless he said he knew what it felt like to pass away and he knew it was close again. And then his friend pulled up. I can't help but wonder if on Oct 31 he felt it coming again. It's so sad. My heart breaks for his family. Rest in Paradise Tyler. ❤

    gave up hope that one day he'd eventually be back on GH because he's been
    so missed! He was and always will be Nicholas to me, a brilliant talent who
    was taken from us way too soon. He would of turned 51 this week. I can't
    imagine what his family, including those precious kids, are going through as
    well as his GH family, friends and fans! Thank you for this, Maurice. 😰💔

    My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar and it has been until recently absolutely worrisome painful and scary. She is now on meds and they seem to be working she is happy. As a parent I missed the sign, for that i feel so bad it hurts my soul. She has tried to end this world and we have been through it together and i will fight for her till my dying days.

    I rewatched your interview with Tyler the day he passed. I was so in love with him back in the day! His passing is such a terrible loss. He was so talented and I loved him as Nicholas Cassadine! I had no idea that he struggled with bipolar disorder and alcoholism. I just wish that someone could have stepped in earlier in his life and helped him! God Bless you Tyler! You’re with the angels now, a better place! Praying for his family and children and cast mates! Thank you Maurice for reposting and showing what a down to Earth person he was! He was a loving father who left this realm far to soon! Much love to you! ❤️❤️❤️

    Tyler was a great actor on General Hospital! I saw him as the only Nicholas Cassadine on there.... no one could take his place! He captivated me when he first started on there in the 90s. I wish he could of come back to play that role on there. It shocked me a few days ago when i saw that he passed away, I cried . But i hope that he is in a better place now and he is at peace, too. I know he must have been a great dad to his children and im sure they miss him terribly, too. I lost my mom at a young age as well so i feel for his children right now going through this. We will all miss you a lot Tyler, rest in peace, sweet angel! 😢💔

    I remember meeting Tyler almost 20 years ago. He made an appearance at a mall near where I lived. He talked about his time on the show, answered questions from the audience, and took pictures with everyone after it was done. I remember him being so nice to my friends and me when it was our turn (we were in high school and the youngest people there). He signed an 8x10 photograph for everyone to take with them, which I still have. I always hoped to see him return. He’s one of those actors that just has truly amazing chemistry with everyone he works with. RIP Tyler.
