According to the soap opera’s official Twitter account, Fletcher responded to the criticism. “A lot of fans expressed a little concern about my health on the internet and there were also media requests so I just wanted to put something to rest,” he tweeted in response.

He went on to say, “I’m fine, working on Neighbors and having a great time. I am in good shape.

“However, I can tell you that I suffer from a condition known as alopecia areata.”
