Exclusive! Tyler Christopher Dishes GH Exit, DAYS Entrance

In the new issue of Soap Opera Digest, on sale Friday, Tyler Christopher gives his first interview since the news broke that the GH alum (ex-Nikolas) will be joining DAYS at year’s end in a top-secret new role. “I’m really, really happy,” says the actor. Though he had hoped to continue on at GH when his contract negotiations broke down last year (“I wasn’t angry, I was disappointed”), he was amenable to a sit-down with DAYS when the show reached out to him. “I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s talk!’ So I flew out for a meeting and they pitched me a story and I’m like, ‘Sounds great! I love Ron [Carlivati, DAYS’s head writer, who wrote the story that won him the 2016 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy for his GH work], I love you guys, I’m pretty easy, let’s do it.’ ” For the deets on his on-set reunion with DAYS’s Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans (Steve and Kayla, who he worked with when they played GH’s Stefan and Katherine), his thoughts on a possible Nikolas recast and his messages to fans of both DAYS and GH, don’t miss this revealing interview.
