Former “Days of our Lives” and “General Hospital” star Tyler Christopher was arrested on May 26 for public intoxication, TMZ reported earlier this week.

According to the outlet, Christopher was found sleeping on the ground near the American Airlines terminal at Burbank Airport. After being notified of the situation, the actor was awakened by officers who arrived on the scene. 

When questioned, Christopher reportedly told BPD he’d missed his flight. Allegedly, Christopher displayed “clear and objective signs of intoxication” and “was unable to care for himself.” Sources told the outlet that was justification enough for the arrest.

After his arrest, Christopher was let go with a citation and expected to appear in court at a later date.

Making his mark in television in 1996 when he joined the cast of “General Hospital” as Nikolas Cassadine, Christopher was previously arrested in 2019 for public intoxication, that time for passing out in an Uber which the driver alleged the actor urinated on himself while in the vehicle.

From 2018-2019, Christopher took on the role of Stefan O. DiMera on “Days of our Lives.” He was later replaced in the role by former “General Hospital” co-star Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny Zacchara) after the show let him go due to his abuse of alcohol.

During a conversation aired last year, Christopher opened up to former “General Hospital” co-star Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) on his podcast, “State of Mind with Maurice Benard” about his alcohol use. In it, he commented for the first time about his firing from “Days of our Lives” and how things spiraled out from there.  “I threw it away. Nobody took it away from me. I dropped it, Okay? Having to walk out the doors under those circumstances? That was like, ‘This is for real, dude.’ And I haven’t been back since. That ship has sailed.” He added, “At some point, it will kill you — and it has. Three times, I have flatlined. And nobody knows that. I’m saying it here for the first time. Three times I have flatlined, and they brought me back. Twice from [alcohol] poisoning, once from withdrawal.”

Watch below Christopher’s appearance on “State of Mind” where he discusses his use of alcohol, how it has impacted his life and family, and the revelation of living with bipolar disorder.
