Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) dropped an unbelievable yet direct hint about where the developing relationship between Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) and her boyfriend Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) father, Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) was headed.
General Hospital recaps recall Ryan’s conversation with daughter, Esme, discussing their plan to do whatever it takes to tear Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Nikolas apart. General Hospital rumors predicted the inevitable ick-factor that was the dreaded hookup between Esme and Nik.
GH fans were just as torn up about Nik sleeping with his son’s girlfriend as Spencer himself. Major storylines and plot twists seem to polarize fan groups, half jumping on the outrageous drama bandwagon and the rest resisting what’s being written.
General Hospital fans aren’t the only ones who have strong opinions on what’s being written for our favorite characters. General Hospital news and spoilers reveal Marcus Coloma has expressed his opinion on the writer’s choice to have gone down that risky road with a main character, and a younger newcomer role. He revealed his take on the story in a Facebook Live Q & A.
In regard to how Coloma feels about Nik and Esme’s romp in the hay, he explains, “This is a perfect example of why I’m happy I don’t put my input into the story,” Marcus admitted, “because if I would’ve, I would’ve said that there’s no way Nikolas would ever sleep with Esme.” Marcus understands that the choice made by the writers has opens the door for other facets of the storyline. Marcus admitted, “It’s created so many interesting storylines and branches.” Adding, “Avery Pohl is just such an amazing actress to work with. “She’s incredible. I’ve really enjoyed Esme.”
Nikolas’s journey as a father has taken so many turns in which his portrayer would never take in real life. Marcus noted, “I’ve enjoyed that whole incredible mess that he’s created,” he encouraged, “because now you get to push yourself in places you’d never go in real life. And explore feelings that I’d never really feel in real life.”
No matter how we the fans or the GH actors themselves feel, at the end of the day, the ultimate decision for a particular storyline is left to TPTB. Not every single member of the audience and cast is going to love every angle, so just sit back and enjoy the ride!
