‘GH’: Adam Huss Shares Last Conversation With Tyler Christopher

Tyler Christopher originated the role of Nikolas Cassadine on General Hospital in 1996. It was one of his first acting roles, but he fit the character perfectly, and fans loved him. He played the role off and on until he left the show for good in 2016. Several other actors played Nikolas when Tyler Christopher was off the show. The actor went on to join Days Of Our Lives in 2017 as Stefan DiMera but abruptly left two years later.

GH fans hoped the actor would return as Nikolas but he never did. Tyler Christopher sadly passed away in October 2023 at the age of 50. His official cause of death was positional asphyxia due to acute alcohol intoxication. The actor battled alcohol addiction for years before his death.

While he didn’t reveal what Tyler said to him, Adam Huss shared what he said.

“I just said, ‘You know, I’ve got to tell you, when I was a kid in the ‘90s, I saw you on covers and I was like, “I want to be that guy.” And that stuff was so exciting to me, and I’m honored that I get to step in your shoes. And I watch everything you do, everything. Not to mimic it, but to inspire and to give me all that back story that you played that role to.’”

He said that he thinks of Tyler Christopher’s legacy as Nikolas Cassadine every time he “steps into” Nikolas’ shoes. Huss added, “Every single time I get a script I go into YouTube and I start pulling up clips of him watching all that because it’s all right there.”

Adam Huss isn’t on contract at General Hospital but appears on the show as needed. But the return of Nikolas’ siblings Lucky and Lulu is a perfect time for Nikolas to finally get out of prison.
