Marcus Coloma opens up about his fears surrounding his role as Nikolas Cassadine. Coloma took over the role of the Dark Prince, Nikolas Cassadine, in 2019, and is currently on the front burner of what’s happening in Port Charles. He had big shoes to fill after Tyler Christopher’s portrayal of the role became iconic. Now that Marcus has settled in, will the producers be killing off Nikolas Cassadine?
Bringing a character to life is a big responsibility, let alone trying to step in after another actor has made that role their own. General Hospital spoilers reveal Marcus Coloma recently sat down with co-star and host of State of Mind, Maurice Benard. The two friends discussed Coloma’s anxiety over the written script, along with his fear that the producers over at General Hospital were trying to kill off Nikolas Cassadine.
Coloma admits to Benard, his experience with the role for the first two years brought on a significant amount of anxiety. Marcus explained, “a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of anxiety because you read a storyline where you’re going to stab your son and you think, the producers, they obviously want my character to die. Like, they’re trying to kill me off.” Marcus went on to explain this type of scenario happened about four times throughout his first two years in the role.
Coloma’s anxiety and fears about the role didn’t end there. He revealed his fear that producers were “really dissatisfied with my work and I was going to die.”
Much time has passed since his arrival on the set of General Hospital. In that time, Marcus has been able to let go of his fears as he settled into and became comfortable with the role. He realized the nature of the soap opera/ daytime drama industry and what it entails. Coloma stated, “I think I’ve finally come to a peace on it and honestly, as silly as it is or social media has helped a lot with it because it wasn’t just General Hospital, it’s this industry in general.”
Marcus and Maurice are not only co-stars but friends in real life. Coloma admitted how he gets through the stressful times, and Maurice has a hand in that. He touched on controversy within storylines and now fans perceive the characters. Explaining how he deals with the dark side of his role and the opinions of fans, he said, “And that’s my big thing… Let’s say work is super stressful because you’re sleeping with your son’s girlfriend and you just know that’s not going to go well for you in a month from now, people are going to hate you,” Coloma shared. “We have this great, funny comedy… people see it. I actually love being on General Hospital, I love being on the soap, but it’s really nice to counteract that and the amount of comments that say ‘Hey, I hate your character but I think you and Maurice are so funny and you seem like such a good guy’.”
A little comedic relief goes a long way when it comes to making it though daily struggles. Thankfully Marcus has a place to call home and a friend to help him through. General Hospital spoilers hint it’s safe to say Marcus doesn’t have to worry about TPTB killing off Nikolas Cassadine.
Being away from Port Charles has been eye opening for Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). A change of pace has served Carly well in her journey of self discovery. She is going to need a clear mind as Carly’s next decision dictates a life altering course of action.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Carly is about to return to Port Charles after an unexpected yet enlightening detour to Jacksonville, Florida. There she was able to gain closure regarding pieces of her past.
The past wasn’t particularly kind to Carly. As a result, she left Jacksonville and assumed a new identity. With the help of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Carly was able to face her haunting past and make peace in order to have a clear outlook on her future.
General Hospital spoilers indicate although Carly has made peace with her past, all is not erased. General Hospital recaps recall Harmony Miller (Inga Cadranel) trusted Carly with information that will change Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) life. Not only will knowing Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is Willow’s mother impact the obvious lives involved, it could also save Willow’s life.
Willow’s health crisis is becoming more and more dire. She holds the secret and Carrie’s the burden without her family. Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) remains in the dark about Willow’s leukemia diagnosis. GH rumors hint time is running out for Willow and her unborn baby.
Carly is the only one who knows Willow has a biological relative in Port Charles, which may be the only way to save her life. Carly’s next decision dictates a life altering course of action for Willow in regard to her treatment. Now that Carly has found clarify, will she have it within her to come clean?
The joke is on Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Dex plays Sonny and Michael in a shocking new twist.
General Hospital spoilers suggest Michael thinks Dex is all in on his plan to take down his father. While Dex has proven to Michael he understands the mission, what Michael doesn’t know is that Dex has a mission of his own.
Dex’s loyalty to Michael seems to come out of left field. However, his display of concern for Sonny seems genuine. Is it possible that Dex is torn between wanting revenge on both Sonny and Michael while also feeling a connection?
General Hospital rumors claim Dex is playing both sides as he has an agenda of his own. GH rumors speculate Dex has a personal vendetta against Sonny; and Michael too! Michael just might get exactly what he’s wished for. He told Dex to gain Sonny’s trust by filling a void in his life. A lost son was what Michael advised him to become in order for Sonny to open up. What if it turns out Dex is exactly what Michael wants him to be?
Is Sonny Dex’s father?
General Hospital spoilers suggest Dex plays Sonny and Michael because he feels he was cheated in life.
If Sonny truly is Dex’s son, it’s possible Dex has come back for the family he never had. His vendetta against Michael comes from feeling like Michael received the father Dex didn’t had, although, Michael isn’t even Sonny’s biological son.
At the end of the day, family is family. When it comes to loyalty, is blood thicker than water? So many possibilities could arise if Dex turns out to be Sonny’s son. Michael wants nothing to do with Sonny, as Dex could be longing for the father he never had. Will he have a change of heart and choose to give Sonny a chance at fatherhood?
What’s in it for Dex?Dex has a personal vendetta against Sonny
One day Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) decided he needed to get revenge on his own father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). That’s when he found Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), who was ready and willing. Yet Michael is unaware Dex’s vendetta against Sonny is personal.
After being so close as father and son, Michael couldn’t believe his family oriented, mobster-father could betray his family the way he had. Michael was devastated when he and the Corinthos family experienced a miracle just to lose his dad all over again. The way Michael sees it is that he lost his father to the woman [Nina Reeves] who kept him from his wife and entire family.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Michael is more determined than ever to destroy Sonny from the inside out. He hired Dex to work undercover as Sonny’s trusted employee. Dex has been ready and willing to help Michael, at the same time, unaware as to how to gain the mobster’s trust. Michael advised Dex to become something Sonny is missing… a son. The loss of Michael’s brother Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) hit their family hard, leaving Sonny and Carly with a hole in their heart. Will Michael take advantage of his father’s grief?
General Hospital rumors hint there has been one thing Dex hasn’t had to fake while pretending to be on Sonny’s side. GH rumors hint Dex could be Sonny’s long lost son. His dedication to help Michael destroy Sonny seems out of place for a complete stranger. What if Dex is Sonny’s long lost son? Michael remains clueless of his father’s past relationships and the possibility of having another child out in the world.
Is Dex in Port Charles to reclaim what should rightfully be his? Sonny has a long list of ex lovers ????, three of which stick out as potential mothers to Dex. Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), Lily Rivera (Lilly Melgar), and Reese Marshall (Kari Wuhrer), come to mind.
Is Carly Corinthos dead? Alright, don’t panic! Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) set out to Jacksonville, Florida. She was about to take some time for personal growth and professional development when her plans got hijacked. Carly’s plane made an emergency landing, delaying her flight and missing her business conference.
Carly never expected to run into her past. She was forced to face some painful memories which made her reflect on who she used to be.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Carly stayed strong and did what she had to do to make things right with her late mother, Virginia. With the help of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Carly was inspired to take charge of her life.
General Hospital recaps recall Carly’s determination to walk away from her Corinthos name. She is ready to create her own identity and take control of her future. Living in Sonny Corinthos’s shadow doesn’t suit Carly anymore.
General Hospital rumors speculate something is off about Carly’s journey to self discovery. Some GH fans have questioned whether or not Carly is even conscious. Could Carly be dreaming while suffering head trauma? GH fans noticed certain details of the story that were suspicious.
Fans remember the way Reese died to have been much different than the story Carly told Drew. Reese Marshall (Kari Wührer) showed up in Port Charles in the early 2000s. The FBI agent was out to destroy Carly’s life, while her goal was to come between Carly and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Reese died in the Port Charles train wreck storyline in 2005.
Also, Peyton Honeycutt’s complete 180° didn’t sit too well with observant fans. She resented Carly for her husband’s infidelity while using her power in the community to hurt Carly. The whole thing just seems surreal, as if Carly’s subconscious is running wild.
Is Carly Corinthos dead?
General Hospital rumors hint that the old Carly Corinthos cant come to the phone right now. Why? ’Cause she’s dead! but not really though. Although Carly very well could be in a coma, dreaming of making peace with her past, however, GH rumors hint she will indeed return a new woman.
Will Carly ditch her old self and embrace a fresh start?!
*Title based off Taylor Swift’s iconic song, Look What You Made Me Do. The line, ”I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh! ’Cause she’s dead!” seemed to fit perfectly with Carly’s identity crisis. She’s ready to ditch the Corinthos name, leaving behind her old identity. The old Carly is dead and gone!
Maurice Benard’s anxiety triggers tested. General Hospital star, Maurice Benard isn’t shy about letting fans in on his personal life. His wife Paula, their kids, and grandkids, play a major role in Benard’s life outside Prospect Studios.
Anyone who knows anything about the Emmy winning actor, knows he has struggled and successfully navigated through mental health issues. Due to his experience with mental illness, particularly bipolar disorder, Benard became a mental health advocate.
Maurice Benard shares his personal stories, along with the stories of many others through his YouTube series State of Mind.
When he isn’t Port Charles’s most family oriented mobster, Sonny Corinthos, he’s Maurice Benard, husband, father, grandpa, and more. GH spoilers show Benard let fans look in on a little self care journey via Instagram. General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the iconic TV mobster recently took a trip to Disneyland. He was joined by his family.
Maurice shared a video from a Disneyland rollercoaster. But his ride on one of Disney’s epic coasters wasn’t purely for entertainment. Benard admits every so often he tests his triggers. Rollercoasters, as well as, airplanes trigger the award winning actor.
Esme fights back! It’s been a wild ride having Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) take her aggressions out on the people of Port Charles.
The Cassadine family is Esme’s main focus. Her dad, Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) won’t stop until he gets to Ava Jerome (Maura West). Ryan is using Esme to help with his dirty work.
General Hospital recaps recall things got out of hand after Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) slept with Esme. Ava Jerome didn’t take too well to learning her husband cheated with his son’s girlfriend. Ava and Esme’s physical altercation lead to the young woman’s disappearance. Esme was presumed dead and Nikolas took the wrap on camera.
Now that Esme has returned, Nikolas can’t risk her being seen. Locking her in an abandoned wing of Wyndemere was his only option. General Hospital spoilers reveal Esme fights back against her captor in a violent way. Nikolas is subject to Esme’s crazy ways of survival. She’ll do anything to survive, even if it means harming or killing someone standing in her way.
General Hospital rumors suggest Esme’s extreme measures temporarily knock Nikolas out, allowing her to break free from his captivity.
GH previews indicate Esme gets the upper hand but will soon be stopped in her tracks. So many come and go through Wyndemere that someone is bound to cross paths with the Cassadine baby mama.
Ava Jerome and Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) would be as shocked as Nikolas to see Esme alive and well. The difference is Victor will want to keep her alive when he finds out she’s carrying a Cassadine heir, whereas Ava will be filled with fury, wishing she never returned.
Who will find Esme roaming around the Cassadine castle? Once Nikolas collects himself after being attacked by Esme, he’ll have to face Ava with the news. How will he break it to Ava that Esme is carrying his child?
Ethan Lovett returns! General Hospital spoilers reveal, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) shocks Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and all of Port Charles when Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) finds her alive and creeping around the Quartermaine estate.
Holly’s loved ones believed her to be dead all thanks to Peter August (Wes Ramsey). Peter and Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) have a history of lying, scheming, manipulating, and stopping at nothing to get what they want. They have faked deaths as well as actually killed for no other reasons than a means to carry out their personal agendas.
Nathan Parsons last reprised his role as Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) and Holly Sutton’s son, Ethan, back in 2020. Parsons returned briefly for 3 episodes. GH fans had hoped for a longer run.
Ethan has ties to one of the most iconic families in Port Charles, and a former fan favorite love interest. Kristina Corinthos (Lexi Ainsworth) and Ethan were one of the hottest young couples. Fans named them, “Ethina,” as a way to show their support. Lexi Ainsworth has recently announced she’ll be sticking around Port Charles as Kristina. If Ethan Lovett returns to General Hospital, there’s a chance “Ethina” could give it another go.
Would you hope for Ethan to return upon the news of his mother’s shocking comeback from the grave?

Trina worries that something horrible is going to happen while Ava passed it off as her fears stemming from what happened when she went to Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) cabin. Trina, along with friends Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), Cameron Webber (William Lipton), Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), and his troublesome girlfriend, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl), went on a getaway. The idea was all Esme’s, claiming to be a last hurrah before Spencer was sent off to Springridge.
The trip turned into a complete nightmare when Esme does what she does best. Trina was humiliated by Esme’s passive aggressive drinking game after being drugged and tricked into confessions about her feelings for Cam. And that’s not all. Esme also managed fo frame Trina for recording revenge porn on her own two besties. These events have fueled Trina’s fears and brought her to the tough decisions she has to make today.
