  • This week's episode I'm joined by Emmy Award Winning actor Tyler Christopher. You may know Tyler best from this role as Nikolas Cassadine on General Hospital or Stefan DiMera on Days of Our Lives.
    Tyler told me to ask him anything and you’ll see today that he was an open book. We talk about fatherhood and being bipolar.
    He opens up about alcoholism, his traumatic brain injury, the brief time when he found himself homeless and how he’s living every day now to the fullest.

    Wow, Tyler this wasn't easy for you but you picked a great platform to tell your story. As much as it was difficult to tell, it was also very difficult to hear. And you could see it on Maurice's face. He was so mesmerized but so distraught that his friend went through this. You are a survivor in so many ways, Tyler, you should think about being a motivational speaker. And Maurice you have this incredible ability to make people feel so comfortable in that chair and want to talk. This is helping so many. I am so happy to be a part of this community. Thanks for making it so easy to participate. And Maurice, maybe your not affectionate in the congenial way but you seem to offer a lot of love and support in other ways. God Bless.

    I was drawn to this man as an Actor. I knew his talent ran deep. And his soul was reflected in his work. I am an actress, but am not trying to be dramatic. He was (is) among us as a teacher. On the heels of Matthew Perry’s passing--I believe they chose to be here to have us reflect on the need to be one as humans and not judge one another. I thank him and send hope and love to his friends and family. 🙏🏻

    I am gutted. I loved watching Tyler Christopher on 'Days of Our Lives.' After Tyler moved to San Diego, where I live, I was ecstatic to have met him at a NAMI Walk San Diego event. Tyler was very nice and kind to me. Also, on one of my week night runs, in Balboa Park, I ran into Tyler where he would take his dog to the dog park. The news still feels unreal and I'm heart broken. I'm sad Tyler is gone and I won't see him around San Diego anymore. In the last couple of years, I would let Tyler know I was rooting for him, supporting him by watching his recently released movies and even received two video messages from him. At one point, Tyler had even messaged me and asked me to recommend some good restaurants in San Diego. I hope Tyler knew he was loved and appreciated. My heart goes out to Tyler's children, family, friends, and his dog, Tanka. Rest In Peace, Tyler. You will be missed and never forgotten. 😞💔🙏💙😢

    Just wanted to say I'm so devastated over Tyler's passing yesterday (Oct.31st 2023). In the last few months I've been watching the youtube full episodes of "Nikolas and Emily's love story", it is the very first time I'm watching these episodes and I'm so glad I got to see what a fantastic actor Tyler was, he was just such an incredible actor, he felt it all, he put his heart and soul into his acting, it just astounded me how good he was. I've been crying on and off most of today (Nov1st) as I still am just so stunned he's gone. I'm so sad to hear and read how much he had gone through in his life, dealing with alcohol addiction and depression on and off. He shall be missed and again I feel so privileged to be able to watch his incredible acting for the first time as Nikolas Cassidine on youtube. I watched him on days as Stefan but never watched GH with Tyler as Nikolas.

    He’s absolutely right. When I worked as an RN in the ICU, I had several patients who went thru alcohol withdrawals as well as patients withdrawing from other substances. By far, alcohol is the worst and most dangerous. Tyler sharing his story is so helpful. Alcohol has always been romanticized and not recognized as a drug.

So sorry Tyler for all the trouble you went through. And the guy that let you come all the way to stay with with him and then turn you away that was awful he'll get his for treating you like that or worse. But why wouldn't his co-workers be there for him? I'm just saying😢 🤷.

    Dearest Tyler and Maurice -
    What an amazing gift you have shared with us. To open your life, share your story, and make it open to the world - is so challenging, It is so very personal.
    Thank you for sharing this. Your focus on faith - the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen - was so vital and on point for me all today. We have to have faith.
    You both also reminded me of the work my parents did for years - at the Detroit City Rescue Mission. My Dad Ken Ouellette, was the superintendent there. Mom worked with the women and children's ministries. Through my growing up years, we were taught to respect everyone and that we too could be homeless, addicts, or other, "Where it not for the Grace of God." Dad many times said, as we discussed people, hardships, "There might I be, if it were not for the grace of God."
    I am grateful for your bravery to share. I know it will help others be honest with where they are, the choices made, and honest with choices for the future.
    Very heartwarming and inspiring.
    Thank you so much!

    This was powerful. I had heard of Tyler from seeing GH a little bit like 20 years ago. But haven’t watched any soaps for so long just basically heard of him. Can relate to him so much. Have never had bi polar, but addiction to alcohol yes. I remember at like age 19 having withdrawals from alcohol and having the shakes and being scared your going to seizure. I am 61 now and sober for 17 years. I also was on the street briefly at also 19 with no money or food or nowhere to sleep that night. I had one lifeline and that was calling my aunt and uncle to ask to come live with them. If they said no I was also suicidal at the time . That phone call to them saved my life. They said yes. I empathize with any one who is an addiction or suicidal. This was best State of Mind interview yet. R.I.P Tyler

And talking about these things provides you with such a level of peace and acceptance. Cuz when you let these things out is is no longer crushing you, your spirit, and your mentality cuz speaking about it kinda sets it all free. So it's kinda full circle.

    Maurice- The most tuned in you’ve been and when you said to him about his childhood maybe I’m just thinking of this because I went through it - it was so bright of you to realize that!
    I knew the accident was from addiction from listening to the beginning- my brother and first love were undiagnosed bipolar due to addiction. I had a TBI difffuse axonal brain injury when a drunk guy hit us- with 10% chance to live so listen to this was so incredibly difficult and moving and emotional. Tyler you are alive for a reason - to be a dad I’m sure is part of that but Toughlove always helped my brother and it was the hardest thing for me to do.
    I pray that you are guided correctly by this doctor and that you beat this addiction- as a brain injury is enough alone. May he teach you how to learn the best with your bipolar. I need an hour to decompress from this interview it’s the best interview I think I’ve ever seen. Maurice- you are truly meant to do this. God Bless you both

I hope that he continues to heal and be that great person that i met. Take care Tyler because your light will continue to shine.
