The daytime community was rocked to its core when Tyler Christopher passed away on Oct. 31. The actor was beloved by fans and friends for his roles as Nikolas Cassadine on GENERAL HOSPITAL and Stefan DiMera on DAYS OF OUR LIVES.

As news of Christopher’s death spread, stars took to social media to share heartfelt memories of their late friend and pay tribute to his kindness and talent.  “I am heartbroken over the news of Tyler Christopher’s passing,” said GH executive producer Frank Valentini. “He was kind, an incredible actor, and a dear friend, who was beloved by our GH family and fans of Nikolas Cassadine. On behalf of everyone at GH, our heartfelt sympathies go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.”

We’ve collected some of their beautiful tributes in the gallery below.

    "Our chemistry was unmatched. Working with you for so many years was a pleasure and a blessing. You were so talented, quick-witted, and never too serious. Some may argue that we were the greatest Father/Son duo on Daytime TV, and I agree. My heart is with Greysun, Bo, and all of the people who loved you. Rest In Eternal Peace."

    "I was lucky enough to get partnered up with some wonderful leading men on General Hospital, Tyler was one of them. I learned so much about working on a soap during that time together. He was a great scene partner and was always kind to me. I remember feeling anxiously excited to get to work with such a legend on the show. Before getting on GH, I would sometimes watch the show and my favorite couple was Nikolas and Emily, so you can imagine how excited I was when we got paired up. Tyler was so talented and made you feel something when you watched him. My heart breaks for his family and the loss they are dealing with. You will always be remembered Tyler. Rest in peace 🕊️"

    "💔 This hits hard. Really hard. Sometimes I use the word 'brother' loosely. But when I called Tyler my brother, I meant it... there’s a group of us… that have done and still would do anything for each other. That’s a brother. We lost one. A beautiful and talented soul at that. It hurts. Thank you for the memories brother Ty. Love you. See you in Heaven. 🙏🏻🕊️"

    "Just heard the news about Tyler. He was a force. Someone just sent me a story from when we first aired together and I was quoted as saying, 'Tyler and I really hit the ground running. He was electric.' I remember feeling exactly that. I'm proud of him for the way he spoke up about mental difference and was vocal about his struggles finding peace and balance in the hopes of helping others. Sending my love to his family and kids."

    "Gut punched. Sweet Tyler. I only worked with him briefly but his kindness left its mark. We had many talks about his kids whom he loved so dearly. Praying for them and his family. May he rest in peace."
