General Hospital officials have confirmed that newcomer Coltin Scott will take over the role of Nikolas Cassadine starting in mid-to-late July.
Although Christopher is leaving daytime, don't expect him to be out of work for long. He will star in the play STARFIRE with GH alum -- and current and love interest -- Vanessa Marcil. Christopher is also rumored to have landed a role in an upcoming feature film.
Leaving General Hospital is apparently a tough decision for Tyler. He was quoted as saying, that he was "happy at GH and [...] would consider coming back someday." His last airdate is not available at this time.
