Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) misses her son and went to great lengths to find him. Risking her life, Laura and Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) set out on a journey to find her son. So, where is Nikolas Cassadine? Or a better question is, “Who is Nikolas Cassadine?”
Nikolas Cassadine is arguably one of the most popular characters on ABC’s General Hospital. His family lineage includes decades of eccentric, powerful people, who are also known for their dangerous schemes and power moves. That said, General Hospital fans everywhere undoubtedly know exactly who Nikolas Cassadine is. After all, he’s Spoon Island and Port Charles’s Dark Prince.
For years, Tyler Christopher was the only name and face that came to mind when fans think of GH’s Nikolas Cassadine. However, as years passed and Tyler and GH went their separate ways, other stepped into the role. Ultimately, the second to become the face associated with the Dark Prince is actor Marcus Coloma. From 2019-2023, Coloma too was Nikolas Cassadine through and through. Despite the incredible shoes to be filled, Marcus impressed fans and warmed into our hearts.
His sudden General Hospital exit came as a shock to fans as Coloma had become such a fan favorite. Then, GH news repoets confirmed that Adam Huss would step in for Coloma’s last scenes. According to GH news recaps, Coloma was unable to fulfill his obligation to the role due to Covid.
Is Marcus Coloma Ready To Return To General Hospital
The latest General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Marcus recently addressed a GH return. While Nikolas remains living as an expatriate in his attempt to remain mysteriously missing, he’s bound to return home soon. A recent fan event reveals that Marcus Coloma addressed a GH return. Fans were pleasantly surprised when Coloma revealed his future General Hospital plans. Undoubtedly, the current storyline surrounding Nikolas is peeks curiosity and fans ask the burning question. When addressing a potential GH return, Coloma left the door open. “If I felt like the fans were unanimously reaching for me to come back, then I would go back for the fans.”
The people of Port Charles, along with GH fans haven’t seen Nikolas Cassadine in months, other than a brief cameo played by Adam Huss. Ultimately, since we know that Marcus is willing to return to the role, are TPTB ready to welcome him back as Nikolas?
Nikolas Cassadine was first introduced on General Hospital in 1996. Tyler Christopher originated the role and left a lasting legacy. While the time has changed hands a few times over the years, Tyler Christopher’s portrayal of Nikolas Cassadine is forever iconic.
In 2019, Marcus Coloma joined General Hospital cast as the 5th actor to play the infamous Dark Prince of Spoon Island. Despite the fresh faces that played Nikolas in between Christopher and Coloma, those two actors left behind the most memorable impressions.
Stephen Martines/Coltin Scott as Nikolas Cassadine
As GH recaps recall, Stephen Martinez, (alternative name Coltin Scott) also played Nikolas Cassadine. While I don’t speak for everyone, but to me it feels like his 1999-2003 run as the future ex-Mr. Ava Jerome (Nik) was more like 4 weeks than 4 years. Oddly enough, Coloma spent less time in the role than Martinez, yet it seems that GH fans have a tendency to overlook Martinez as the iconic Cassadine. With all due respect to Stephen, he’s a great actor. But some people just fit it happen, and for Nikolas Cassadine, that is Tyler Christopher and Marcus Coloma.
Jodi Vilasuso as new Nikolas Cassadine
Unexpectedly, General Hospital news reports confirmed that Marcus Coloma’s contract was not renewed, and the actor was leaving the 60 year old soap. Fans and co-stars were shocked when the news broke, causing many to question the TPTB’s decision.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nikolas is ready about ready to show his face. Maybe not in Port Charles quite yet, but he’s on the love. Previously, General Hospital hired Adam Huss to step in for Coloma on brief occasions, and then again when Marcus Coloma left General Hospital. This brought about confusion among fans, especially because of what what’s going on with Nikolas’s character. Ava Jerome had just bonked him over the head during the role change-up.
So naturally, confusion grew around whether or not Nikolas was dead. Did Ava really kill him? Also, how did he go missing? Meanwhile, Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth) had all of the answers. Obviously, we all know now that Bik is alive and well. The role was recast by Adam Huss, but there isn’t confirmation on whether or not Huss is here to stay. That said, GH spoilers tease that it’s possible that Y&R star, Jodi Vilasuso is gearing up to play the infamous Nikolas Cassadine.
…Nikolas Cassadine’s return shakes Ava’s plans! Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) is vastly famous for running the iconic cosmetics company, Deception. Although Lucy might be one Hell of a fashion and beauty guru, she also has other talents to share.
General Hospital recaps recall that Ava Jerome was awarded Windermere in her’s and Nikolas Cassadine’s (Adam Huss) divorce settlement. To his dismay, Nikolas begrudged the woman he still claimed to love, among other heinous, Cassadine-like behavior. There’s no doubt that Ava loved her husband, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t relieved to stop him from kidnapping Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola).
Now, Ava’s moving on with her life. In fact, GH spoilers and previews indicate that Ava and Lucy further discuss her options for selling Wyndemere/Spoon Island. Additionally, she and Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) are becoming quite close despite what drew them together. However, Ava’s right to keep her guard up with Austin since we all know that he’s been lying to her about Nikolas. Regardless of how she feels about Austin, Ava Jerome makes her next move.
GH Comings and Goings
SURPRISE! General Hospital news reports confirm that Adam Huss returns as Nikolas Cassadine. Huss’s predecessor, Marcus Coloma’s unexpected exit left fans confused. Reportedly, Coloma never saw it coming until he read the script describing his exit.
According to GH spoilers and rumors, Nikolas Cassadine’s return shakes Ava’s plan to sell Wyndemere. As she and Lucy proceed, Nikolas becomes closer and closer to returning to reclaim what’s his.

Back in Port Charles, Dante Falconeri took Lulu and Valentin’s daughter, Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) to visit Lulu in the long term care facility. Then, they reminisced about the good times and wished for her return. The scene was completely devoted to Lulu’s recovery, which lead to GH rumors of her return.
GH news and spoilers indicate that Nikolas is bound to appear on canvas soon, details to follow. According to GH news, no recent updates have been added regarding Lulu, if Emme Rylan will reprise her role, if Lulu is recast, or if she’s set to return quite yet. Keep checking back for updates!
…When we think of a doctor, we often think of a healer. We tend to imagine an aura around them, and set them aside from everyone else. To a certain degree, trust is often given blindly because we automatically assume that a doctor is someone we can trust. There, that is where Ava Jerome (Maura West) made a big mistake. Because trusting the wrong person could ruin your life.
Simply put, trust is mostly something that is earned. It’s true that certain roles in society emanate a degree of credibility without a backstory. However, not all who fill these roles fit the mold. Recent General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) is actually a dangerous killer. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, Dr. Holt doesn’t honor the hippocratic oath. Instead, he uses his gift as a front, according to the latest GH spoilers and rumors.
Previously, General Hospital news and spoilers confirmed that Laura Spencer made a decision to set out to find her son Nikolas Cassadine. With Nikolas’s return on the horizon, GH rumors claim that Nikolas saves Ava from Austin, who has revealed himself as a villainous man of healing.
Will Nikolas be ready to save his damsel in distress and take on Austin, and possibly Mason too?!
Mason returns! GH spoilers reveal Mason threatens Austin and Ava! Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) seems like a good natured man who genuinely likes to help people. Hence, his professional status as a Doctor. What we gather is that Austin is a good guy who is caught up in some bad stuff.

Their friendship quickly developed into “partners in crime,” when Austin helped Ava move Nikolas Cassadine’s (Marcus Coloma) body.

Based on recent General Hospital news and rumors, the writers are gearing up to bring Nikolas back to the canvas. With Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) on the hunt for her son, it’s only a matter of time that Nikolas returns and Ava and Austin’s secret is exposed.
Moreover, as for Nik’s return, all we know is that Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) took Nikolas to an undisclosed location, and has him on some sort of life support. According to recent GH news reports, Nathanyael Grey returns to General Hospital as Mason threatens Austin and Ava regarding Nikolas.
Tyler Christopher arrested for public intoxication! …Over the last few months, Tyler Christopher’s name has been popping up around the General Hospital circuit. Ever since Marcus Coloma’s shocking GH departure, fans want some answers surrounding Nikolas Cassadine’s future.
General Hospital news and recaps report that Tyler originated the role in 1996. From then he went on to develop Nikolas’s character for almost a decade. Although Tyler Christopher hasn’t played Nikolas Cassadine since June of 2016, his iconic mark on the role keep the option to return alive. According to previous General Hospital news and spoilers, Christopher made it clear that he was ready to return to work. Back in November, Tyler shared his thoughts on his Instagram story. To check out the full story, CLICK HERE.
General Hospital news reports have yet to confirm a recast for Nikolas. Adam Huss was the last person to play the dark prince, and no mention of a return has his the media. Based on the current storyline, fans have a hunch that Nikolas will return rather soon. Or at least the events leading up to his return continue to develop. GH spoilers tease that Nikolas returns to either torment Ava Jerome (Maura West) or to save his son Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) from turning to the dark side. With that fans wonder who will take over as Nikolas.
Tyler Christopher Arrested For Public Intoxication
Fan reactions reveal that Marcus Coloma and Tyler Christopher are favored to return. However, recent breaking news could make things difficult for one of these actors to get back into action at Prospect Studios.
According to General Hospital news, Tyler Christopher was arrested at an airport. Sources say that Christopher’s alcohol-induced nap at a Burbank airport is what got him into trouble. At that time, Tyler Christopher was passed out drunk, and was arrested for public intoxication. Unfortunately, this seems to be a setback for the healing actor and father. Since his first in is DUI arrest back in 2019. Back then he was charged with 2 counts of public intoxication, while spending his 47th birthday behind bars.
We wish Tyler the best as we keep him in our thoughts. Sending healing prayers and vibes his way at this difficult time.
Spencer brings Nikolas home! The Cassadine family is known for their desire for power and control. Shamelessly, some members are all in on the eccentric lifestyle they’ll need to lead to achieve it. From diabolical plots at world domination to kidnapping and even killing, the Cassadines should not be underestimated.
Recently, Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) began hosting Victor Cassadine’s (Charle Shaughnessy) will reading. So far, the guests and recipients seemed a little unimpressed with what Victor left behind. Although it seems these items are meaningless, Victor doesn’t do anything without meaning behind it. But one thing in particular has the key to unlock a mystery. General Hospital news reports of Marcus Coloma’s exit caused a stir among fans. Fans were not only shocked and confused in regard to the actor, but the character as well. Why kill off Nikolas Cassadine? Then, we soon found out that Nikolas isn’t dead. Hell most definitely return to Port Charles. Meanwhile, Nik’s loved ones have a mystery on their hands. Where did Nikolas go?
According to some recent GH spoilers and rumors, Victor’s box leads Spencer down a dark path. A path so gloomy and “Cassadine-like” that even Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) won’t support exploring it. However, a curios Spencer begins down a typical Cassadine path. But will he be saved in time before he turns completely to the dark side?
General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest that through his upcoming journey, Spencer brings Nikolas home. The curious young man with bad boy tendencies falls for uncle Victor’s plan, hook line and sinker. His dark journey into the Cassadine mindset will ultimately lead him to a dark place. Is it then Nikolas reveals himself to save his son? Finally, redemption begins after Nikolas saves his son.
Austin knows where Nikolas is?! Vanished! Nikolas Cassadine’s body mysteriously vanished after Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) hid him in a Wyndemere closet.
As General Hospital spoilers recall, Ava and Austin stood by as Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Detective Bennett (Kendrick Cross) broke open the lock on the closet door. Once opened, the closet revealed Nik’s belongings left behind. Quietly, Ava and Austin exchanged confused looks.
How did Nikolas’s body disappear from behind locked doors? Ava swore Nikolas was dead after she clubbed him over the head. So, she and Austin went over the events that occurred that lead to Nik’s final hiding spot. They couldn’t understand he he’d gotten away. However, Austin might know more than Ava thinks.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest that Austin knows where Nikolas is. His relationship with his cousin Mason complicates things for Ava. Austin can’t seem to get his cousin off his back because Mason won’t let well enough alone. As a result, Ava’s problems become Austin’s as his problems become hers. But, will he continue to pretend he does’t know what happened to Nikolas?
Apparently, Mason still needs Austin’s cooperation for whatever cryptic reasons. Even though Pautuck is no longer Austin’s home, he can’t sen to cut ties with his shady past.
Nikolas is alive?! After the intense showdown with Ava Jerome (Maura West), Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom), and Mac Scorpio (John J. York), Ryan’s death provides mixed emotions. Undoubtedly, the death of a serial killer provides relief to all; especially Ava.
As General Hospital recaps recall, Ryan’s obsession with Ava had her looking over her shoulder for years. After all, he is the reason her marriage to Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma/Adam Huss) is over. Now that he’s truly gone, she can rest assured that Ryan won’t harm her or anyone she loves again. But safety and peace of mind aren’t all why she’s particularly relieved. In a vulnerable state, Ava confessed to killing Nikolas to Ryan. Now that he’s gone, her secret stays safe between herself and Dr. Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth).
General Hospital spoilers indicate that Ava and Austin have unfinished business. The elephant in the room, on shall we say, the Cassadine in the closet, needs tending to. Earlier, Austin showed up at Wyndemere to help his new friend move Nikolas’s body. Then, their plans changed and suddenly Ava had a house full of chaos. In the midst of all the drama, Ava confessed to killing Nikolas. Thankfully, her secret died with Ryan.
Nikolas is Alive?!
General Hospital rumors hint that Ava might not be out of the woods. Although Ryan seems to be as dead as can be, someone other than Austin knows her secret. GH rumors speculate that her ex husband is missing from where she stashed him, and very much alive.
Now, she and Austin discover an empty closet where Nik’s body was placed. How mysterious! As a result, Ava will be looking over her shoulder fearing Nik’s tell-all return. Nikolas could expose Ava for attempted murder. However, things could be worse. On the bright side, if Nik is alive, she can’t go down for killing him. But, attempted murder isn’t off the table.
General Hospital news reports remain silent regarding the role of Nikolas Cassadine. Last played by Adam Huss, Nikolas has seemingly met his untimely death. His death stunned fans, leaving the audience in disbelief. Many GH rumors speculate a return as it’s almost unfathomable that the writers killed off a main character from a core family. However, it’s been done in the past; killing off multiple members the iconic Quartermaine family. As for the Cassadine family, Nikolas is the primary Cassadine in Port Charles and it simply wouldn’t be the same without him.
