Kelly Thiebaud’s Tribute To General Hospital ‘Legend’ Tyler Christopher Is So Touching

Former “General Hospital” star Kelly Thiebaud continued her Instagram post honoring the late Tyler Christopher by reminiscing about how she was nervous when her character, Britt Westbourne, was first paired with Nikolas Cassadine. “I remember feeling anxiously excited to get to work with such a legend on the show,” she wrote. 

She also talked about how she was a fan of the sudser prior to getting the role. “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,” she said. Of course, Nikolas and Emily Quartermaine (Natalia Livingston) had a rocky relationship that ended when she was tragically murdered by Diego Alcazar, the Text Message Killer (Ignacio Serricchio).

Thiebaud continued with her tribute: “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.” 

One fan opened up about Thiebaud and Christopher’s impact on their life, sharing gratitude for the post. “Kelly thank you for this beautiful post. You & he had great chemistry (you’re both terrific actors) but you have confirmed my feelings about him being a good guy. I named my son [Nik] after his character. I enjoyed him so much!”
