Great news for Nikolas Cassadine and General Hospital fans! While Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) awaits news to see if his ABC Family series, The Lying Game gets a renewal pick-up this summer, the talented actor let his fans and followers know via his Twitter account that he is going to stick around Port Charles for now!
Tyler first tweeted on the status of The Lying Game, “So not ideal news for #thelyinggame as it appears that a decision won’t be made until mid summer. Thanks for all your support.” He then followed that up with another tweet relating, “In the meantime, I’ll still be hanging around #portcharles!”
With Tyler still available to film new episodes of General Hospital, could this mean there is a major triangle ahead for A.J./Liz/Nikolas? Will we then get to see more scenes between Tyler and his on-screen mom, Genie Francis as Laura? Will more Cassadine drama continue to unfold?
Let us know your thoughts on how GH should utilize Tyler Christopher in story!

NewsJune 22, 2021Sean Carrigan Returns to The Young and the Restless
Tyler is a very good actor. i have noticed tyler has been working out. he is buff. yummy yummy tyler. you are hot hot. lol.
He is indeed lol!
He is one gorgeous man. I could not take my eyes off of him shirtless in the hospital the other day. Lord. Keep him around! Get him a good love interest!
even his name is hot… suits him…. Tyler.
this summer should be good…. Liz / AJ / Nicholas!
I have always loved his dynamic with Tony Geary (Luke), so I hope there’s more of that. Used to be hatred, now it’s some kind of respect and Luke even smiled at him when he walked in a couple weeks ago.
anybody know exactly WHEN Luke has warmed up toward Nik? I know he used to loathe Nik but don’t recall when and why he warms up to Nik.
I don’t remember the “why,” but I think I remember the “when”–it was when the other actor (Colton something/Steve Martines) was playing Nicholas for those few years when Tyler took a break. It might have had to do with when Stavros was around the last time, in 2001 or so. I just remember scenes with the two of them (Luke and interim-Nik) having to work together on some “adventure” or other and deciding they sort of liked each other after all. Unless, of course, they rewrote that later and put the hostility back into the relations; I stopped paying careful… Read more »
Love The Lying Game n do hope it gets renewed but ❤❤ the possibilities of Tyler aka Nicholas hanging around…now if we can get his good friend Kimberly aka Robin back I would be a happy camper❤❤❤
So would I. Just saying.
I’m so happy that tyler is staying for now at general hospital. i hope vanessa marcil stays. they should offer vanessa a contract. she is so pretty.
I think Vanessa should stick around too!
no, I hope Brenda is gone. I used to love Brenda and Jax but the way she pinned over Sonny, I’d wish she would just leave town pronto and never come back.
Very happy to hear the good news about Tyler,even though I like the lying game too. He is a great actor and I love seeing him on any show but, on GH he is very special . I can’t wait to see what storyline they wrote for his character. Thank you Michael for all your wonderful articles. Have a great weekend.
Now Thats What I’m Talking About!!! Love Him!!
I’m thrilled beyond belief– love lying game but live him more as Nikolas
LOVE Nicholas and Emily!!
I’m a NEM fan too. Wish they would have brought her back alive instead. They were so amazing together.
I want Nicholas to stick around and woo Elizabeth, but I want Jason Back..
SCREW Jason!!!!!
GREAT NEWS !!!!! I adore Tyler Christopher/Nikolas, and am thrilled to have him “still hanging around Port Charles”. One of my favorite characters on the show. Always was and always will be!!!!
So happy to see Tyler back!!! I always loved him! He was always my favorite! Wish they could find a love interest for him to rival his love Emily!! Elizabeth doesn’t cut it!! I don’t like them together…no spark! I agree Jason needs to come back! GH needs to woo Steve Burton back!!! Cut some of these ridiculous characters salaries and pay Steve…..He was the show!! Miss Sam and Jason and now the baby….
Recast jason quartermaine now. steve burton will never come back.
i think that OLTL actor who was mcbain should be recast as jason.
That was once one of my suggestions too…this way they could still pair him with Sam…i wonder if any of the three will stay with the show or if they even signed a new contract…seems the old contracts should be void now that they arent continuing their former characters on GH?
no, don’t recast Jason. SB has been playing the role for too long that I don’t think it would be a good idea to recast Jason. If SB ever comes back, I hope Jason will forget about his past as Jason Morgan,,, and becomes Jason Quartermaine again. We have had enough of the mob for the last decade plus. No more mob please.
The contracts were with the actors, not the characters. So there’s no reason they would be voided, even if anyone had wanted such a thing.
Tyler Christopher is sooooo handsome. What a great body! I’m very happy to hear he’ll be hanging around Port Charles for a while.
Please try to get Jason/Steve Burton back. I miss him, and there is definitely something lacking without him.
I am so glad he is staying…. at least for awhile. Wish he was going to stay on forever. He is looking so handsome… and it would make a good triangle love story. Love him with Liz.
what ever they do just keep him with his shirt off, omg did you see that body? delicious, if i was liz, i would of jump his bone right there. but seriously, Tyler is a great actor and i hope he sticks around at GH.
In the picture he kind of looks like Clark Kent…when on the show with his shirt off…he’s SUPERMAN!
lol!!! Right?? AJ or Tyler… 🙂 She’s suddenly a very lucky girl!
this is going to be ONE “HOT” summer story-line.
and i couldn’t be more happier….
I swear… Liz looks so relaxed and comfortable with Nicholas….
and! She’s GOOD w/AJ.
this trio should smolder and burn up our screens….
it’s about time… for another good love story… romance..
and! I’ll say it now…. Emme Rylan IS Lulu…. in fact.. she has that sexy vibe going… as well…..
i’ll always LOVE her best as Lizzie Spaulding…. w/Beth on Guiding Light!
so…
Liz – Nicholas – AJ
nuLulu n/Dante.
Loving the Nicholas/Liz/AJ potential but she put the kabosh on
him yesterday … somehow I don’t think AJ is done though.
Nicholas/Tyler Christopher is just smoldering and I love the tie to
Tracy now to further tick AJ off
I still don’t like Emme Rylan as Lulu, she reminds me a of Siamese Cat; not that I liked Julie Berman’s version either. We’ll see..the jury is still out
on this.
I really wish Milo would go away though. Am I the only one that
does NOT find him remotely attractive?
So excited. Luv having tyler n his character back. They need to put him back on contract
I hope that Tyler can stay and I hope also do The Lying Game. What will be will be. I don’t watch TLG but I don’t wish him out of a job. I am so happy to hear that Genie, Kin, and Lynn are staying around and that Jacklyn will be back. I think she should come back for good!!
Definately need to have Tyler and Genie on for more story lines. They are the best actor’s and a big part of GH! Maybe have Tyler try to go back with Elizabeth!
I watch lying game I love him on both but I love him more on gh
Why cant he do both shows if the Lying Game gets picked up? GH can always work around his schedule? Its been done with soap stars b4!
Welcome Nicolas! Would live to see him and Carly together! I’m tired of Liz!
Love Tyler!!! Was hoping you would get to speak with him on the red carpet at the Paley Center… Michael! I love The Lying Game and have watched it because of Tyler! I hope it gets renewed and he can work on both GH and The Lying Game! I would like to see him stop or cease the Liz and AJ relationship… I just don’t like Liz with AJ… would much prefer her with Nikolas… if he would stay for awhile and not leave her so fast! Tyler is looking so great and he’s so fun to have around. Would… Read more »
Love Tyler and hope he gets a contract!!
First of all, very happy that TC will be staying with GH (hopefully, even if LG gets a pick-up, he can figure out a way to do both). Secondly, I wouldn’t mind seeing Nik/Liz revisited, but only if it’s done properly this time. No demonizing the characters for the purpose of turning the audience against them (yes, I’m referring to you, Mr. Guza…Ugh). I’d also like to see Nik get involved in the ELQ s/l, and a new Cassadine mystery would be great. There are so many ways for RC to utilize the character. Can’t wait to see what happens.
The question was how should GH use TC so how this got to be about Jason I have no idea. Some people just can’t let Steve Burton go. I love him to, so I watch him on Y&R. Glad his character is gone. Now on to the important topic. Tyler’s Nikolas has so many story possibilities. First, I want he and Elizabeth to have a chance to see if what they had together before was just chemistry, and boy did they ever have chemistry, or was it the beginning of something more. So I say YES to Liz and Nikolas.… Read more »
Wow Great news. TC is my favorite on GH. Prince Nikolas has chosen a great time to return to Port Charles!
Love him. Hope he stays. We miss Jason, so having Nikolus back will be great!
As an A.J. supporter I’m disappointed Nuikolas is staying as he has apparently forgotten the damage he caused the last time he and Elizabeth got together. Besides, she brings out the best in A.J., and I want to see their romance as a story of two people seeking redemption from the outside world while seeking out each other. A.J. and Elizabeth have a lot more in common than Nikolas and Elizabeth: they both grew up within their families as the resident ‘black sheep”, forever being outshone by their siblings and also having a history of bad luck in relationships, and… Read more »
yay!!! so happy they are having him stick around!! thank you GH!
Thats good news! I would love to see him stay!!! now lets get him and Elizabeth back together again pleez!!!
Who is that in the photo? Sure doesn’t look like the Christopher Tyler I know!
I started watching again for the Nurses Ball and am a long time GH fan. However, the Cassadines and Corinthos are concentrated on way too much. I hope they can get some of that mid to late 90’s stuff back. I loved Lucy and Kevin with Mac and Felicia back then, great comedy with those four. Hopefully, the producers and writers can tap back into that and don’t get suckered into the Frisco fan’s revolt and bring his character back again. A character, I might add, that I loved back in the day, so I am not bashing him. Sorry… Read more »
keep him stay stay stay plus he lost weight and looks great–slick
I am thrilled he’s sticking around, because I cannot wait to see if Liz chooses Nikolas or AJ. Either way, it’s going to be an awesome triangle.
I am a very happy viewer now that Tyler is back! I loved him as a partner for Liz in their past relationship and was very sorry that they broke up. I hope he sticks around for a long time and I certainly hope he and Liz stay as a couple. It will be really interesting to see AJ and Nicholas battle it out. I also enjoy watching the relationship between Nicholas and Laura. Luke needs to get over his animosity toward him. Looking forward to all the storylines involving Nicholas.
I am so excited he is staying around, I absolutely LOVE him! He is the best looking man I know!
Hope Nik stays around a long time. Love him and Liz together. They have great chemistry and they are bonded by their past and long time friendship. Just glad they no longer have to worry about cheating on Lucky. That was just wrong, especially when JJ was playing Lucky. Liz and AJ just don’t do it for me. Feels like Liz is just trying to hang on to a piece of Jason. Add to all that, Liz and Nik are just so pretty together. (Too bad soap stars never get considered for the cover of People magazine’s Most Beautiful People… Read more »
love him i am so glad when will they show him around walking in port charles he,s in the bed all the time so is he in love with elizebeth or is emily coming back from the dead
Nick and Liz forever! love those two together, glad he is staying for a while.
