Tyler Christopher, who starred on 'General Hospital' and 'Days of Our Lives,' was an advocate for mental health and was open about his own struggles.
Tyler Christopher was known and beloved by many fans for his roles as Nikolas Cassadine on 'General Hospital' and Stefan DiMera on 'Days of Our Lives,' but off-set, the actor was also open about his struggles with alcoholism and bipolar disorder during his career before his death this week at 50 years old. Tyler’s former 'General Hospital' co-star Maurice Benard said that he died Tuesday morning after a 'cardiac event' at his San Diego apartment.
Christopher was also arrested for public intoxication last May when he allegedly fell asleep at a Los Angeles-area airport and in 2019 in Indiana. He was married to 'Desperate Housewives' actress, Eva Longoria, from 2002 until 2004 and to journalist Brienne Pedigo from 2008 to 2021, with whom he shared two children, 14 and 8.
