Steve Burton also remembered his friend

Steve Burton who plays Jason Morgan on General Hospital also spoke out when Tyler Christopher’s death was announced. He said, “This hits hard. Really hard. Sometimes I use the word ‘brother’ loosely. But when I called Tyler my brother, I meant it . . . there’s a group of us . . . that have done and still would do anything for each other. We lost one. A beautiful and talented soul at that. It hurts. Thank you for the memories brother Ty. Love you. See you in Heaven. 🙏🏻🕊️.”
