It’s been a tricky yr for General Hospital actors, crew, and viewers.
There’s been loads of loss, and now, there’s one other so as to add to the checklist.
Tyler Christopher handed away at 50 after struggling a cardiac occasion in his dwelling.
The information got here by way of Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), a former colleague and good friend of Tyler’s.
Maurice had been working with the struggling actor after a battle with psychological sickness and dependancy. Tyler did an episode of Maurice’s State of Mind, revealing the struggles he suffered by.

Maurice Benard publicizes the loss of life of Tyler Christopher
On Instagram, Maurice Benard reported the tragic and surprising passing of Tyler Christopher.
He wrote, partly, “It is with nice unhappiness that we share the information of the passing of Tyler Christopher. Tyler handed away this morning following a cardiac occasion in his San Diego house. Tyler was a very gifted person who lit up the display in each scene he carried out and relished bringing pleasure to his loyal followers by his appearing.”
Maurice and Tyler starred on General Hospital collectively. Tyler held the position of Nikolas Cassadine and continued to be a fan favourite regardless of the position being recast with Marcus Coloma and, most not too long ago, Adam Huss.
He held the position from 1996 by 2016 earlier than shifting on to Days of our Lives within the position of Stefan DiMera. That position is now held by Tyler’s former GH costar, Brandon Barash.
General Hospital continues to endure loss after loss
At the tip of 2022, Sonya Eddy handed away after a surgical process she had accomplished. She was nonetheless part of the present, and the General Hospital writers have been engaged on pairing her with Marshall (Robert Gossett).
N’Neka Garland, a producer, handed away at 49 earlier this yr. She was mourned by the forged and crew alike.
In May, Jacklyn Zeman handed away. It shocked everybody who knew and liked her as Bobbie Spencer, particularly costars Laura Wright (Carly) and Eden McCoy (Joss). General Hospital has but to deal with her loss of life on-screen.
Most not too long ago, Billy Miller died by suicide. His loss was felt by many who liked him and those that continued to hope he would at some point return to the position of Drew Cain.
Adding Tyler Christopher to the checklist is heartbreaking, particularly after understanding all the things he battled and overcame.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
