GH: ACTOR FIRED FROM GH !!

[Marco Dane]

This is what we heard, too... Sorry guys. RT @SoapDigest An insider reports that #GH's Tyler Christopher was let go on Friday.

FOR HEAVENS SAKE FIRE MAURICE BENARD !!!!!!!!!

[DRW50]

This is a good move. He's been dead weight for many years. Now it's time to start chipping away at the mob cult, with Spinelli and Dante being #1 on my list.

I wish, this show will died with only the mob cult surviving.

This character ran its course a while ago. Without Laura, without Emily, without Stefan and Helena, what is Nik's mission statement? What is the reason he exists anymore? He has been adrift for a while now.

[ER Tosh]

Did someone get Tyler and Guza mixed up?

[Soapsuds]

I like Dante but Spinelli is a waste of airtime and money.

[FrenchFan]

Kinda liked Nikolas but the character has had no purpose for such a long time.

[Cheap21]

Fired? I bet it was more of a mutual agreement. He hasnt talked enthusiastic about the show in a while and I was under the impression that he himself was leaving the show at the end of his contract. This is hardly a surpise

[Aragorn]

Jax is the next to go.

[Cheap21]

he's already been dropped from contract

[Ann_SS]

Exactly. To this day, I don't understand why they fired RHerbst and not TC. Liz still has a story with Aiden and she is part of the hospital, Nikolas has been useless for years. I do feel bad for TC because he has a family to support. However, hopefully his role on that new series will be expanded and he will have some steady work. I'll add the caveat, "if this is true." Guza does seem to lurve Nikolas.

They will never get rid of any of the mob characters. They will be sucking up airtime until the show's final day.

[Cheap21]

His contract wasnt up ywt. I beleive its up this May. They let him ride it out but it was clear that he was done with the show and they were done with him. I really dont think RH's situation had anything to do with him not being announced to be leaving a few months back. They knew his contract wouldnt be re-signed when it came time

[Ann_SS]

TC was frustrated with his lack of airtime and story on GH, but he certainly didn't sound done with the show since he was talking about waiting to see what was happening with his character on his new series and was hinting at doing both shows.

[DRW50]

I think you're right, I think he would have stayed if he could have. He's one of many actors on soaps now who don't care anymore but want the paycheck. I can understand that, and it's not like GH made an effort in recent years anyway, but I think soaps would improve if they started firing more actors who clearly do not give a crap about being there.

[OLTL_fan]

I read this last night but was too lazy to post it.

I think I heard he is going to be on a new show.

EDIT: He has a recurring role on ABC Family's new drama The Lying Game.
