We will keep you posted on this developing story.
Share your thoughts on Tyler via the comment section below.
How sad. And he looked rough in that mugshot on TMZ.
I am very sorry to hear this. Sending him nothing but positive energy.
That is sad. He is so talented. Hopefully, this will be a bottom for him.
Oh please get help, Tyler. Your fans love you. But more important, you have two kids that do. If you don’t want to do it for yourself, then do it for them.
is this the reason why GH didn’t re-sign him ? Hope he overcomes this and returns to our screens.
So sad. Guess this explains why he’s not on GH.
Or Days.
Or anywhere, other than exactly where he is…..what a mess!
You don’t get put into the drunk tank unless you are doing something stupid. Cops usually have better things to do. Hopefully, he just had one too many celebrating his birthday and whatever he did to get the attention of the cops was harmless. When I first read the headline I was expecting a DUI, so whatever he did, at least it wasn’t behind the wheel of a car. A night in jail sleeping it off, probably protected him as much as it did everyone else.
Tyler is one of a million or millions that have a problem with alcohol.
It’s not nor should it be news; ..
It’s fodder for the social network, nothing to help the situation only to heighten it.
Money, big money is made from a story of someones personal problems..
I assume a good many were also arrested that night for much the same thing.
Hopefully some of his friends in the industry will reach out he has a disease needs support not gossip! Yes we can always count on good old TMZ they are indeed ambulance chasers for dirty laundry aren’t they??
So he went out & got lit on his birthday so what? Did he attack someone? Drive drunk? Innocent until proven guilty. ALWAYS!
I’m sure they gave him a breathalyzer test.
It just reads he was arrested for “public intoxication” noT DUI or DWI though right?
He has substance abuse issues; he’s made that public and has been struggling with alcohol since his teens. He’s in a dark place, has lost both jobs on DAYS and GH and is obviously still struggling.
Shut up! Police dont arrest someone just for the fun of it! Pray for the actor!
Very sad and a shame to see what’s happened to Tyler. I have several friends and family members that have battled alcoholism, some battled it successfully, another lost their life because of it. It’s an awful, awful disease, and that’s exactly what it is, a disease. I sincerely hope Tyler is able to get the help he very clearly and desperately needs.
Very sad about Tyler. Disappointed he did not return to GH And hope he gets help
”The docs say police have received 9 calls regarding Christopher being intoxicated since September 14, and medical personnel advised law enforcement there was nothing more they could do for him … they’d already tried to help him.”.
– wire service reports
Prayers for Tyler and his family.
Iam sure losing his job on Days and receiving divorce papers while in jail didn’t help his condition. Poor guy, I hope he has someone, be it friends or family in his corner. It would be nice to have someone like Maggie in real life.
He obviously has a big problem, if was put in jail for drinking. Most people that have a drink or two, are not arrested. It seems he was in an Uber/taxi, and he urinated in the back seat. Was yelling at the driver also. His wife is not divorcing him, for having a drink on his birthday. She has probably had enough of him coming home drunk. That’s the sad part about this. His life is falling apart. He was let go from days, because he was intoxicated on set. Gh did not ask him back, and yet he keeps on drinking. He is so very talented, yet his life is falling apart,right in front of him, and he refuses help. What will take, for him to open his eyes, and realize, he needs to make huge changes in his life, before it’s too late? I hope he will one day, see what everyone else see’s, and gets the help he needs
That poor guy is always being arrested for drinking, He has some issues that need to be resolved. God help him face his reality.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
