‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Widely popular
Tyler’s past with his addiction isn’t a secret to anyone, and he appeared on Maurice Benard’s State of Mind a couple years ago where he talked opening about his addiction but also his bipolar depression.
It didn’t matter to fans who only wanted him to get better and hoped to see him return triumphantly one day to his old role on “General Hospital” as Nikolas Cassadine.
He’s been missed since he left the role and he was a perennial wish list box for fans on who could return to the show.
His last role in a soap opera was on ‘Days of Our Lives’ as Stefan DiMera before Brandon Barish took over the role.
He was such a presence on our screens that we couldn’t not watch him and no matter what the scene involved, he was nearly always the star even if he stood off to the side.
‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Always a tragedy
His death comes days after beloved Friends actor Mathew Perry passed away from a reported cardiac arrest, though the official cause is still being investigated.
This is a one two punch as both are loved by the fans and both had substance abuse problems throughout the years.
This one hurts and will take some time to come to grips with.
