General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that 44-year old, Tyler Christopher who has portrayed Prince Nikolas Cassadine on and off from 1996 to 2016 has announced that he and his family are migrating to Nashville and that he will NOT be returning to General Hospital. Amongst other things, this means that there are no intentions of bringing Nikolas back to Port Charles any time soon according to the latest General Hospital spoilers.
Many General Hospital fans have been questioning Nik’s return since we last saw him on the flight with Ava Jerome (Maura West) escaping Port Charles after he stole his wife, Hayden Barnes’ (Rebecca Budig) diamonds and faked his own death; only to supposedly meet his fate again (as Nick Stabile) when his allegedly deranged Uncle Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) shoots him and he falls into the dark depths below.
Tyler Christopher has joined and left General Hospital on several occasions but this time it appears to be permanent. General Hospital spoilers indicate that Tyler’s move to Nashville might be a strategic one when it comes to his family and new career options.
His long-time General Hospital colleagues and friends, Steve Burton (formerly Jason Morgan before Billy Miller and subsequently The Young and the Restless’s Dylan McAvoy) and Jonathan Jackson (his GH half-brother, Lucky Spencer) either reside nearby and spend most of their time there, so it looks like Tyler wants to reconnect and raise his children in a place that has less hustle and bustle than Los Angeles, California.
GH and YR Fans of Jonathan Jackson and Steve Burton, may not know that they have opened a place called Jack and Jameson’s Smokehouse which isn’t only a barbecue restaurant it is also a concert venue; which works out nicely for their band Port Chuck, which also includes Scott Reeves, another former General Hospital character Dr. Steven Webber/Lars and GH’s Bradford Anderson (Damien Spinelli).
Tyler Christopher may be doing this move to benefit his family and reuniting with old friends, but for some General Hospital fans, this may not be the greatest news. But looking on the bright side, now that we know Tyler will not be returning to Port Charles as Nikolas, that doesn’t mean we can’t hope for Nick Stabile to revive the Cassadine Prince!
