Multiple sources confirm to Digest that Tyler Christopher will not be returning to the role of Nikolas on GH, which he originated in 1996. The actor has been off-screen since June, at which point the character was temporarily recast with Nick Stabile. Though both parties had hoped to strike a new contract deal and for Christopher to report back to work in September, negotiations fell apart last month.
