Natalia Livingston Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Tyler Christopher

Natalia Livingston, who portrayed the character of Emily Quartermaine on General Hospital, recently posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram in memory of Tyler Christopher. Christopher, who played Nikolas Cassadine, passed away on October 31, 2023, at the age of 50. Livingston and Christopher’s onscreen romance as Nikolas and Emily was widely loved by fans of the show. Livingston also played Rebecca Shaw. She shared, “I want everyone to know how sweet and gentle Ty was. How gifted, how dedicated, how much he cared about his craft and those around him.“

Livingston reflected on working with him. “I was honored to work with him for many years and admired his talent tremendously. He created such a safe space for us to work together. I felt confident when I worked with him. He made it easy. He was generous. He brought scenes to life with such grace and conviction. He gave his work everything he had. And, he was funny. So funny. I loved that about him. He made me laugh. He was one of the best chapters of my life and I’ll always be grateful to him. I’m so happy we reconnected after over a decade apart. He was going to join my husband and I and our little ones for dinner at our home on a trip to Atlanta. That meant the world to me. He called me Naty…I called him Ty. The friendship was there. It was always there – through the ups and the downs. My heart goes out to his family and to his two precious children. Please, if you are struggling with alcohol abuse or a mental illness, don’t let this be your fate. I love you, Ty. I’ll never forget you. Thank you for the memories. Rest in peace, my friend.”
