Why General Hospital Favorite Tyler Christopher Will Always Have A Soft Spot For Nikolas
Soap opera actor Tyler Christopher spoke to Digital Journal about his lengthy career to date, admitting, "I am still auditioning and I am just hanging out and seeing what happens." Christopher also discussed how being on "State of Mind" was cathartic for him, explaining, "I am very proud of that. To be on that show, I had to be raw and vulnerable." The actor even confirmed he'd be happy to return to the show someday.
When the subject of "General Hospital's" 60th anniversary was brought up, Christopher acknowledged that he couldn't believe how long it'd been, especially since, "'General Hospital' was my first acting job." He elaborated, "My first day was a little scary because I was new and I didn't really know what I was doing, and I had a lot of dialogue." At the time, Christopher was worried that he would be judged and ultimately fired, but his preparation helped him succeed.
"It ended up being great," he enthused. The soap stalwart was also asked whether he preferred playing Stefan on "Days of Our Lives" or Nikolas on "General Hospital." Christopher replied, "I can't go away from Nikolas. I have to say that. I created that character." Now that Nikolas (a recast Adam Huss) has seemingly been killed by Ava Jerome (Maura West), fans are holding out hope that he's not really dead, and that Christopher will reprise his role. And, frankly, so are we!
