RIP: Tyler Christopher has passed


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Rebecca Herbst has worked very closely with all of the actors who’ve passed this year (especially Sonya, Billy, and Tyler), as someone noted on another board. She’s so quiet on social media, but I wonder how she’s doing. They must be so drained having to post these remembrances. And John Reilly and Stuart Damon both passed not too long ago in 2021.

Jonathan Jackson has paid tribute:

@BingCherry     Everyone's been saying to go see Kimberly McCullough's IG but I hadn't found the time & you've made it possible & easy & it moves me so. Thank you so much for posting that. A friend told me that I (and we) better be practicing self-care. That helped me.

in addition to the losses of cast and crew mentioned above,
the 'family' of GH lost Kristina and Jack Wagner's son Harrison in June 2022.
He too struggled with substance issues.

My heart goes out to Kristina Wagner now, it's all so much.  She has been advocating for love and kindness, now I'm sending it her way.

Yes, it is sad. And that's just GH. If we look at the whole soap community approximate numbers of deaths for the past few years it's something like 2021/25 deaths, 2022/28 deaths & 2023 so far/25 deaths & in that time we also experienced the pandemic. It's really been a rough time.

According to TMZ, a friend discovered Tyler after entering his apartment with a key that they had been previously been given since they hadn't heard from him. The person soon after found Tyler already dead in his bedroom and called 911. TMZ claims to have sources who've told them that "it appeared he had been dead for some time." 

When they say "some time," they don't speculate or specify, likely because a coroner's report needs to be filed and toxicology tests need to be run. As of now, it's unclear when (date) Tyler officially died.

Well, we'll know when the coroner rules. But, it will be a thing. Right now it is easy to find where some people list Anne Heche's death as Aug. 12th when it was Aug. 11th. 

You know what I wish. I'm sure some might not find this worthy. But, I wish we knew who has Tyler's dog. I noticed him in the background of a Tyler pic & he was so devoted to him, ... and he is missing Tyler something awful.

That's sad. I didn't see any of the obituaries mention that he had been under conservatorship for a brain injury, and suing his sister for misuse of funds: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/general-hospital-star-mired-in-off-screen-guardianship-drama

 

Whatever happened with the money, and she of course alleges there was no impropriety, Tyler's friends and family must be wondering if he may still be alive had he had still had a guardian to get him help right away.

    • I love many things about BTG very much. For me, it's greatest strength is how the family relationships are so beautifully written. The deep love between family members while acknowledging each other's flaws--it's SO GOOD.  The best of the best is the two sister relationships: loving but very different sisters Dani and Nicole and adversarial sisters Kat and Eva. These two relationships can anchor the show for many years to come, in my opinion. (The one caveat is that the young and very talented Colby and Ambyr may want to leave the show sooner rather than later, but that's to be expected). My biggest problem with this show is this: Where are the romantic love stories? Where are the star-crossed lovers? Almost every character on this show is married, or in a committed relationship, or just fooling around. Right now the only potential for this are in the Ashley/Andre/Derek and Kat/Tomas/Eva situations. Like a lot of people, I feel the sooner they ditch Ashley and Derek, the better. I hate picking on actors, but the characters are so blah and bland it's like they're a parody of soap characters. I like Andre, and there's some indication they might have him become more serious about Dani, but I don't see that becoming a big love story. I could be wrong. Kat and Eva fighting over a man would be amazing. Over Tomas? No.  I've noticed on social media some people are starting to ship Kat and Jacob. I think that shows how much viewers long for a messy love story. There is much I enjoy about BTG and I have no intention of bailing on it. But over all my many years of watching soap operas, the thing that always got me the most excited about them was the question: "When are those two finally going to get together?"

        Some initial thoughts.   1) a Who's who back in the day with an assortment of well known performers. 2) Surprised Debra Messing would agree to play a conservative character 3) Not surprised a network didn't pick this up because showing a conservative that is human/likable is a no no in Hollywood LOL
    • Yes from when they went on Let’s Make a Deal too. Pam stole Forrester designs for Jackie M. Of course a month later we saw Nick, Lesley, Owen, and Bridget all exit in the same episode.
    • Great pairing that seemed to come out of the blue! Around that time, it felt like Sheffer/Goutman didn’t really know what to do with Emily or Hal. And KM and BH had surprisingly great chemistry. It was good for Emily especially because she was coming off those unsympathetic years with the Tom affair and then running the Intruder and essentially just being a busybody.
    • I think the issue with Lulu is less the character (which was the issue in the Julie Berman days under Guza II) and more the lack of nuance. The current GH team rarely writes nuance for any character or at least can't sustain it for long, or they reserve it for a favored few. I also think the rooting interest at GH BTS often remains on preferred characters or actors - BLQ/Setton - vs. Laura's kids. So it's easy to make Lulu the heavy if you think Brook Lynn and Chase are the money on this show. I don't, but I think FV does. And that's not to say I think Amanda Setton is bad in the role, or that I would get rid of BLQ. I don't trend towards either (though I do think that if Setton's personal beliefs keep getting in the way of material I would reluctantly recast). I think Brook Lynn is essential to use as a lead presently. But I don't think it needs to be the black and white dichotomy of suffering young matriarch BLQ and aggressor Lulu. While it's good that unlike in the Guza years they can recognize that Lulu can be obnoxious and rash, can be her own worst enemy and that that is part of the character, it can be toned down or given more layers than it has of late. There's nothing wrong there the writing can't fix.
    • 1999: I just watched it. It felt so primetime. La Lucci is making history. Aretha's daydreaming segment. @Contessa Donatella Thank you, my love. So helpful and informative as always. adding them to my queue.
    • I know this isn’t a usual or anywhere near universal take, but I loved the relatively brief Hal/Emily relationship/marriage more than I ever thought I would have with KMH/BH.
    • In my field (not that) I've written my share of dreck when it's what people wanted vs. something good. In the end what matters is the check. These pilots may not be great, but whether or not those writers intended otherwise they got paid.
