But is Tyler really coming back?

When Will Tyler Christopher Return To GH?

According to Soaps.com, Soap Opera Digest has confirmed that Nick Stabile's stint as Nik is done. However, there is no confirmation yet as to when Tyler Christopher will reclaim his role on "General Hospital." Tyler took a break to have some personal time after a long, complicated contract negotiations with the soap's management, which remains unclear up to now on whether they have reached an agreement.

The management is rather quiet about it, and even Tyler Christopher, who's been active recently on Twitter, hasn't mentioned anything about his "General Hospital" character. His latest posts were only to promote GH fan activities. Meanwhile, fans hope the show is not killing off a legacy character and they are excited to see Tyler back.
