Tyler Christopher, who is much famous for his stint on General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine, has been quite open about his battle with addiction. A few months ago, he took onto his Instagram that he was doing better. However, a new report revealed that the actor was arrested on February 1, 2021, for a charge of public intoxication. This news made all the fans of the star quite worried. Most fans took on to social media to express their shock about the actor’s alleged arrest. However, after further investigation, it seems like that news might not be true. Why do we say that? Here is everything about it-
The Arrest News Might Be False
The article that was published on Yahoo recently that got all the fans wondering seems to be wrong. The information in the article does not match the real facts. It looks like this article was originally about Christopher’s arrest in 2019 and was posted again in 2021. The article had details about a mugshot that had happened in 2019 and not 2021. Not just that, the article also includes links from news sources like Daily Mail and Page Six. Both of these links are that of the 2019 arrest.
The Yahoo article points that Tyler was taken into custody on Monday night, which was also the day of his 47th birthday. While February 1, 2021, wasn’t a Monday, and it wasn’t Christopher’s birthday that day. His birthday is actually November 11 that was back in 2019 when the arrest originally happened. Moreover, there are no other sources that confirm that Tyler was arrested in 2021. It is possible that some fans might have shared an older article again unknowingly.
General Hospital Star Tyler Is Better
Tyler Christopher, who has played a number of characters in a number of soap operas, was last seen in Days of Our Lives as the son of Stefan DiMera. However, he left the show rather abruptly sometime in 2019. The actor revealed that the reason for this abrupt departure was because of his alcohol addiction as reported by TMZ. He has been quite open about this addiction and the recovery.
While the actor isn’t really active on social media, he keeps sharing updates about his life and sobriety journey with the followers occasionally. It looks like Tyler is working really hard on himself. So, that was good news. If he goes down the hill again, it would be devastating. It does look like the article was not true, and we hope that is the case.
