Christopher abruptly left the soap opera back in May.

A General Hospital spokesperson had no comment on Tyler Christopher’s return to the long-running soap.

Christopher left General Hospital reportedly due to “personal reasons.”

The actor was in the midst of contract negotiations at the time.

Former Sunset Beach star Nick Stabile stepped in to temporarily play the character of Nikolas Cassadine during Christopher’s leave of absence.

Stabile made his final appearance on the General Hospital on July 29 when the character was shot and fell out a second-story window to his presumed death.

“Everyone wants to label what is happening to him as the ‘dark side’ of the character, and I don’t really see it that way.  I think of him more as a shrewd businessman, and more of a risk-taker that’s naïve, and more brash.

“I don’t see Nikolas as dark at all. To me, that has connotations of a person that has no mercy, and that is devoid of any ethics. I just see him as becoming a more wise character,” he revealed in the interview.
