Marcus Coloma has taken on the iconic role played by Tyler Christopher until the character faked his own shooting death. Until recently, the entire town of Port Charles had believed that Nikolas Cassadine, Prince of Darkness, had been shot and killed. As the story turns out, after the arrival of Marcus Coloma in the reboot of Nikolas Cassadine, Nikolas indeed faked his death.
In an interview with Soaps In Depth, Marcus Coloma gives his opinion on the inner most thoughts of Nikolas Cassadine. Nikolas has always had an element of evil within him, after all, he is a Cassadine. Of all the Cassadines, Nikolas had always been one of least twisted and evil along with his Aunt, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Nikolas started to show more of his dark side toward the end, right before he left Port Charles. Now that Nikolas has had some time to soak some things in, he is even more dark and twisted now. He goes on to mention how being away from your child can take its toll, Coloma says, “It’s brutal to be away from your kid. I’ve had a taste of what it’s like to not see your kid for a second – let alone for the amount of time that Nikolas has been ‘dead’!” COloma then made it clean that Nikolas has returned a new man by saying, “He’s really changed significantly.”
Soaps In Depth asked, “But just how dark is the prince now?” Marcus Coloma replied, “That’s such a good question, and that will absolutely be revealed.” He the went on to reveal a major General Hospital spoiler by stating, “I will tell you that Nikolas is definitely focused on payback… as an actor, I’m looking for conflict!”
Well now we know Nikolas is out for payback! Will Valentine Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) suffer the brunt of his wrath and who will become collateral damage?
