Tyler Christopher and Vanessa Marcil were like any other daytime television couple dating during the late 90s. They met on the "General Hospital" set, where they played Nikolas Cassadine and Brenda Barrett. While there was certainly no social media at the time, Christopher and Marcil did all the things soap stars did at the time to be seen, including hitting red-carpet events together and being very flirty and super cute together for VH1 specials. Marcil also supported her man when he won the 1997 Soap Opera Digest Award as Outstanding Male Newcomer that year. After his name was called as the winner, he turned around and planted a huge kiss on Marcil.
While the details surrounding their breakup remain unclear, Christopher met his future wife, Eva Longoria, thanks to Marcil. Longoria stepped in to play Brenda Barrett on "General Hospital" when Marcil had to leave the show temporarily. That's when Christopher met Longoria, and sparks began to fly.
And just like everyone else in the daytime television world, Marcil was equally as crushed when she heard the news of Christopher's death.
