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!

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 attention to that kind of thing during the JFP years.

How did Luke react to the Nik-Elizabeth affair? I remember a scene in which he told Lucky if somebody needed to be shot, let him be the one to do it, but I took that as his wanting to spare Lucky a trial and prison rather than any real animosity toward either Nik or Liz. Other than that I don’t remember much about Luke’s reaction.

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 love more time with Genie and him… would love him being there for Lulu. Would love to see him hook up Tracy against AJ to get Pickle Lila and ELQ back on track… that would be a great storyline! I am just glad he’s back for now and I hope they use him well!!!

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. Lucky is a non-factor. He hasn’t even called to check on his son in over a year and instead has chosen to go take care of orphans in Africa. Liz has spent the best part of her life trying to pay Lucky back for saving her as a teenager. I say let it go. Emily is gone. I think the fact that we saw her ghost says it all. She died in 2007, that was 6 years ago. Nikolas should be allowed to move on too. I want them raising their boys together. As the defacto head of the Cassadine family, Nikolas can be involved in plenty of stories. I would love to see him invest in ELQ, maybe helping Tracy out, so that he and AJ would be rivals not only for Liz’s affection but in the business world. Nikolas also needs to get back on the board of the hospital soon b/c that place has serious security issues. Anyone can walk in to the lab and use it for any reason, even change a paternity test. Someone needs to work on GH security. LOL

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 both also are capable of self-destructive behavior that has led to heartache for themselves and others. As kindred souls, A.J. andv Elizabeth can help each other and something wonderful can result!

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 Frisco fans. Hope all your boo boo’s have healed.

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 issue. Miss Paltrow and Mr. Whoever move over and make way for some real beauties!) Also excited to see Nic interact with his mom and LuLu and , of course, with Luke (LOL).

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.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

FINOLA HUGHES RETURNS

The final moments of the teaser promo reveal Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France. We have not seen her for months after Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal fed her hallucinogenics to make her believe her arch nemesis, Cesar Faison was alive!

Now, the doctors walk towards her hospital bed, where we see the super spy calmly knitting. Is Anna back to normal and playing everyone to get out of her predicament, or does she still remain deeply traumatized … or both?

Take a look at the rest of the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, JUNE 22
Willow gets an unwelcome surprise. Trina sticks to her guns. “Nathan” wants reassurance. Ethan advises Ava. Brook Lynn receives an update.

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

on

By

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

The former GH star, where he played the son of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) for 15 years, has announced his new single, “If You Need Me” will drop on Friday, June 26. The single is now available for pre-order on Spotify and major music streaming platforms and is distributed by DistroKid.

Taking to his Instagram story over the weekend, to announce the pre-save of his new single, Chad expressed, “I’ll make a full post about what I’ve been up to and my music once it goes live next week, but you can pre-save my first single so it goes straight to your Spotify once it drops next week.”

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
