Tyler Christopher Shares “After a Near Death Experience … I’m Ready to Start Over Again and Get Back to Work”
Daytime Emmy winner, Tyler Christopher, took to his Instagram account to let his fans. former colleagues, and friends know that he is headed back to California to continue his acting career and get back to what he loves to do most – turn in those amazing performance that soap audiences have come to know during his runs as Nikolas Cassadine on General Hospital and Stefan O DiMera on Days of our Lives.
In his post Christopher explained: “Coming back to California. Miss you friends. After a near death experience in December, doesn’t matter. I’m ready to start over again and get back to work. Can’t wait to see you all!”
Tyler had moved to Indiana, and as had been reported he had struggles with his battles for sobriety, and ultimately his wife Brienne Pedrigo filed for divorce.
Now, turning the page and creating a new chapter in his life, Tyler is looking forward to being back in Hollywood, and his friends and co-stars are definitely rooting him on including: Greg Vaughan (Ex-Lucky, GH Ex-Eric, DAYS) who shared, “Let’s GO” while GH’s Maura West (Ava) sent him a comment full of hearts, and the former Steven Lars of GH, Scott Reeves, expressed, “Amen bro! Happy for you.”

Hope he can join Bold & Beautiful in 2021.
And pair him with Heather Thom, that girl needs a man and a storyline. Her talents are sooo wasted
Bring him back to GH and kicked that horrible impression of him to the curb!
Prince Nicholas
I like this Nik way better
Agree, Phil. Loving Nu Nic! He and Ava just burn up the screen! Great chemistry…
I happen to love the present Nick C.
Agree, Lin!
I like new nikolas, but would
be happy to see Tyler return
No way. LOVE Nu Nic as do many!
Some people come back from the dead and they look no different and ACT no different!
I would love to see him back with Liz in General Hospital. They were HOT together!!!
IT’S a FEAST for the eyes and senses’. Tyler Christopher is on daytime for that specific reason… PLUS he’s a solid actor
you have no idea how much fun it was to see him win best lead actor over , so glad you retired, Tony Geary’ Luke. PLUS his time @DAYS of our Lives NETTED him another BEST LEAD ACTOR nomination. that’s no small feat… especially when it’s on two shows…. I have always loved sharing how much Tyler is daytime answer to Kevin Costner… just so dreamy , fills the romance department.. and ooh la la the masculinity just drives
@GH has GOLD and then some… what with Britta, Ava, and Liz… still on the show. i’m grinning from ear to ear and heart thump… this opportunity is ???? mind affect… HERE AND NOW
Tyler Christopher – you are able
Tyler Christopher – you are present
Tyler Christopher – you are loved
you are one of the best
Well, I never understood what all the fuss was about Kevin Costner either. I just don’t care for the strong, silent types.
I’m all for giving people a second chance and more importantly, he’s a much better actor than the human mannequin that’s playing Nicholas now, so he should make a future for himself instead of throwing his life away.
I wish him all the best! However, the new Nicolas has really grown on me and I think he has great chemistry with Ava.
the difference between the New Nicholas and Ava.. is so vast… it’s insurmountable…. she looks closer to being his grandmother. @GH is even trying to make Avery with Ava APPEAR like THAT CLOSE KNIT, familial? forget about the “blackmail” the sexuality between these two was what drove these two. to chastity themselves ? oy
Ava: hold ALL your martinis “girl” this twosome is doomed… this picture show isn’t drawing any one in
New Nicholas and Ava are Hot!!
luv the couple..
Ava doesn’t look closer to being Nikolas’s grandmother..
Now- Anna looks like Finn’s grandmother, for sure..
I hope Ava will get her dark side back, she was exciting!
hey! Franco and Ava both should go dark together- awesome!
Findlay Hughes looks fantastic, and NOT like Finn’s grandmother! She’s beautiful and still has that willowy dancer’s body she had in Stayin Alive 38 years ago.
Its Fiona Hughes not Findlay, love her too.
Right on Patrick!
You nailed it.
Hey, Patrick. How are you? First…the actor playing Nic (Marcos Coloma) is younger than Maura West but not by much; they’re both in their 40s in real life. And, just like real life, one might look older than the other…but, so what? I think they are HOT together and I’ve been hoping from almost day one that GH doesn’t mess with them and have him going back to Liz. We shall see…
I think he’s Hot!
I like the new one he fits the part now. He looks to young for Ava. I like the the other one but don’t he would fit with Ava as this one. He’s more for Elizabeth
Agree, Davy! I absolutely adore the Nu Nic and I think he and Ava are incredible together! Amazing chemistry! Would hate them to lose Marcus Coloma (Nicolas).
Back to General Hospital !!
Hope he comes back!!! Miss him. GH IS NOT YHE SAME WITHOUT YOU!!!! Please please come back n stay for a long time!!!!
i truly think Ava has run its course… gallery schmallia…w/no Kiki, Julian gone… @gh has no cajones to write for Ava and Kevin ! this is the money maker… and/or … the fire, tantalize with Tyler Christopher with Maura West is what blew this all up. bringing back Tyler to dance with Britta, Ava, Liz ??? what fire… let this rage
I love the new nickolus please leave. Him on the show
Yes! Me too !
Would love to see you in anything you would like, you are a great actor and man.❤️
I would love to see him back on GH. I don’t really care for the new Nicholas
I would like him back as Nik on GH! Or switch with Brandon Barish. I’m torn love Tyler as Nik the most! He was also good as Stefan. Brandon Barish is good as both Stefan and Johnny Zacara.
Would love to dee him back on GH as Nikolas
If Tyler has gotten sober and cleaned up his act, I would love to see him back on General Hospital. I was so disappointed when he didn’t return as Nikolas, although I obviously certainly understood once news of his personal issues came out. I do think Marcus Coloma has gotten better in the role than when he first started, but Tyler is the only true Nikolas Cassadine. However, with GH’s recent budget cuts and trimming of the cast, I’m not sure that would be a good fit at the moment.
Nicholas Cassadine us PLEASE!
No Pun intended to Marcus, but we all know Tyler is REAL Cassadine!
Maura West never really got her opportunity to make the Ava/Nicholas storyline work with the original Nicholas
Every Nicholas Maura has been paired with has been with a recast of Nicholas.
I’m not really a fan of his. I have preferred his recasts on both Days (Brandon Barash) and GH (Marcus Colama). Hopefully he will join Y&R or B&B if he joins a soap again. I don’t watch either.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to see him back as Nikolas, and with Britt again? I admit that I like the new actor playing Nikolas, too. Wonder if Tyler still has his grey pants and burgundy shirt he used to wear constantly as Nikolas?
I really liked him on GH and DAYS but also really like the actors who replaced him on those shows. So happy that he’s gotten himself together and wish him every happiness and success as he moves forward. That being said, I wouldn’t want to see the actors currently playing Nikolas or Jake (Stephan) be given the boot so he could return to one of those roles. Hope he finds something fresh for his fresh start.
Agree!
I am wishing him nothing but the best in his return; I know he has battled his demons, and I am hoping he is on the right track right now, especially after a near-death experience. Perhaps a surprise return as Stefan on Days of Our Lives, or a brand-new character, again?
Tyler Christopher PROVED he could be a new character.. albeit a DiMera on @DAYS of OUR Lives… he stepped up to the plate… despite his “flaws” which is an addiction beyond.. yet he reigned them in, yes peeps with an emmy nomination in best lead actor.
his capabilities, his contribution, his wherewithal… do carry his REEL. he’s a proven co worker. he’s a proven attribute
Oh no i loved Julian wanted u n Alexis to get back together
Would be awesome to see him back on GH as Prince Nicholas.
If his near death experience doesn’t matter, why mention it at all?
I like the new Nik M.C. and don’t think he should be fired to bring T.C. back.
I would love to see Tyler as Nicolas on General Hospital again! Others have done well, but he’s made for the role! Tyler is a natural. GH needs to bring him back!!!
I wish he would come back as Nikolas I miss him on GH I think a lot of us are . . I just hope he is doing much better i haven’t seen him on any movies .
