Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) entered into a union of marriage, not for love, but for business. Although these two started a brief romance before Nikolas faked his death and went into hiding, Ava and Nik were not too fond of one another upon his return to Port Charles. It’s even safe to say they are close to loathing one another. Nikolas and Ava have set up prenuptial agreement keeping one another from cheating, even though they claim to have no plans of sleeping with each other.
General Hospital spoilers show Nikolas stepping up in support of Ava as she is approached by Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) at the Metro Court. Nikolas even goes as far as referring to Ava as his wife, as he warns Valentine, “I suggest you back off of my wife.”
General Hospital rumors hint that this marriage that has been meant to be a business deal, will inevitably blossom into something more. Could there be a budding romance in the making for Ava and Nikolas?
Will Nikolas be able to scare off Valentin before he makes more trouble for him and Ava?
The story of Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and the search for her biological daughter has come back and forth to the front burner of story lines. It first looked as though Kiki Jerome (Kristen Alderson, Hayley Erin) would be written as not the daughter of Ava Jerome (Maura West), but that of Nina Reeves. Then the story went on the back burner for a while, only being mentioned here and there. Nina has most recently been hurt when she thought she had finally found her daughter, just to have it ripped away like a cruel joke. Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) led Nina to believe she was her child as instructed by Nina’s own fiancé, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). When that mess hit the fan, Nina was devastated. It’s been a little bit of time since this let down and Nina is revisiting her situation. General Hospital previews show Nina confiding in Jasper ‘Jax’ Jacks, tell him she still feels her daughter is out there. In a new promo video for General Hospital, General Hospital spoilers reveal Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) spots Nina with one half of a pendant which seems to strike a cord in Willow, promoting her to mention the necklace. In recent General Hospital rumors, it has been claimed that two woman may be candidates for being revealed as Nina’s daughter, some claiming both women will be her daughters, claiming Nina had twins. General Hospital rumors suggest Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) and Willow Tait could be long lost twin sisters. However, other GH news and spoilers have indicated just one woman will end up with that title. Did Willow recognize the pendant because she has the other half, it or did she see it in Nelle’s possession at a given point in time?
Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) have always had a strange relationship of despising one another, to helping each other out with their schemes. Valentin has come through for Nelle on many occasions, even if it isn’t out of the goodness of his heart. Valentin has helped Nelle when it made sense as being beneficial to himself. Offering to buy Nelle’s shares of ELQ, providing fake passports for her and her son Wiley are examples of how Valentin has come through for Nelle throughout her plot to get out of Pentonville, have some money to her name, and get out of dodge without a trace. Despite the fact that she wasn’t able to get away as planned, the intent to help Nelle was still there.
Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Valentin Cassadine aren’t fond of one another, mainly because Michael had threatened Valentin back when Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) was exposed for pretending to be Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) long lost daughter. Valentin was the one behind the entire scheme and Michael made it known to Valentin that he was to have Nina drop the charges against Sasha or he would expose Valentin to his love, Nina. Valentine has good reason to want to stick it to Michael, which is why Nelle and Valentin working together totally makes sense.
General Hospital spoilers indicate that Nelle turns to Valentin yet again and this time, Valentin won’t turn her down for that drink she asked to get in the recent past. General Hospital rumors claim that Nelle will present Valentin with what they will both see as a genius plan to help Nelle get custody of Wiley and to stick it to Michael at the same time.
General Hospital spoilers hint Nelle and Valentin will be ahead of Sasha’s plan for Michael and Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) to marry for the sake of Wiley. Previous General Hospital rumors claimed that Valentin and Nelle would eventually hook up as their have both seen better days and need someone to lean on. Will they be able to beat Michael and Willow to the punch and get married? Even if these two get married in order to make a home for Wiley, will the court even recognize this as being a stable home with these two psychopaths?
Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) got herself into a predicament when it comes to her music career and the rights to her work. Brook Lynn’s Manager/Producer is over powering and uses his power in the industry as leverage to get the artists to do what he wants for their career. It turns out, the one who is after shares of ELQ, Valentine Cassadine, (James Patrick Stuart) is pulling all the strings in this web Brook Lynn has gotten tangled in.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Brook Lynn will be backed into a corner, her manager, who is working for Nelle’s (Chloe Lanier) Lawyer, Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight), is using her ELQ shares as leverage for her to be able to get out of her binding music contract. Under Valentin’s order, and Martin Gray’s enforcement, they are trying to force Brook Lynn to sell her shares of ELQ to free herself. General Hospital spoilers indicate Brook Lynn will not sell out the Quartermaine family just to help herself. She takes a stand and refuses to sell her shares. Brook Lynn stands by her family. What happens next and how and if she figures out how to get out of her contract remains to be seen. Brook Lynn is quick on her feet and is likely to think of another way out.
Ryan Chamberlain is spending his days locked up at Pentonville for the murders and other crimes he has committed in the recent past. He isn’t your average criminal, he is so much more. Ryan has an elevated element of crazy and there is no telling what he is capable of and should not be underestimated.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Ryan will find a way to escape leaving him on the loose and a danger to the residents of Port Charles. He has a hit list and it’s growing but his main target would seemingly be Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma). Ryan is obsessed with Ava Jerome (Ava Jerome) and now that she and Nikolas appear to be married, Ryan will not be able to handle Ava being with another man even if it isn’t for love. Also on his hit list, Valentin Cassadine makes it close to the top. Valentin pushed Ava into the cold water off of the roof of Windemere in an attempted murder. Although Ryan is evil himself, he doesn’t want the woman he has his eyes on to be harmed. Franco Baldwin helped Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) catch Ryan, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), Finn (Michael Easton) Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), and even his own brother, Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) were involved in taking Ryan’s kidney in order to save Jordan Ashford’s life.
In Ryan’s eyes he has many enemies in Port Charles that should get what he feels they deserve for wronging him in some way. But Nikolas remains at the top of his list because he is the one who has his precious Goddess, Ava Jerome.
How will Ryan make his great escape? Will he turn to Nelle for help? Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) used Ryan in her escape plan and now she feels he owes her. These two are equally unhinged and unpredictable and live for tormenting others for their own amusement. If these two team up there is no telling what could happen.
Things are really heating up in Port Charles as this past week’s Cliffhanger Friday left everyone’s jaws open in shock. It’s been a long time coming, but reveal of Nikolas Cassadine (Nikolas Cassadine) has finally come to light and the town of Port Charles has regained yet another person back from the dead. After all the curiosity and speculation revolving around Charlotte’s (Scarlett Fernandez) apparent body guard, claiming he was the man she saw in Lulu’s (Emme Rylan) phone, Laura (Genie Francis) finally has answers. When Charlotte told Laura she saw the photo of her body guard in Lulu’s camera roll, Laura just figured that Charlotte just pegged anyone to fit her tall tail. The adults chalked it up to possible PTSD after the incident on the docks, but now it’s clear that Charlotte wasn’t making up stories. In actuality, Nikolas is the one who told Charlotte her father Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) hired him to be her body guard in order to conceal his true identity for the time being. After Valentin pushed Ava (Maura West) into the freezing cold water, Nikolas came to her rescue and revealed himself with Ava in his arms. The entire group of wedding guests were in complete shock when Nikolas walked in holding Ava. His mother ran right to him and touched his face, his sister Lulu close behind. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nikolas will explain everything that happened the night he was shot and presumed dead. He will also be the one to explain the details behind the codicil and how Valentin will be stripped of any right he thought he had to the Cassadine fortune. Nina adds icing to the cake by divulging what she knows about what Valentin has done in front of all of their wedding guests. She goes on to list all of his acts of deception and betrayal. Not only has Valentin lost what he thought he would get from the Cassadine fortune, but now he knows he has lost Nina’s love. Take a peek at Monday’s upcoming episode of General Hospital.
Nina has been to Hell and back between betrayals from her own Mother, Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills), her love Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and the young women, Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) who led Nina to believe she was her daughter.
Nina has had enough and she continues with her plan to trick Valentin into thinking they will get married. Although she does love him and is having difficulty with the whole situation, second guessing her decision to expose and end things for good with Valentin, Nina will most likely not actually marry Valentin. Nina has a little something up her sleeve to prove Valentin was lying the entire time about Sasha. She is running another DNA test to prove Valentin used Madeline’s hair strands as a sample to achieve the falsified Mother-Daughter DNA results. General Hospital spoilers reveal Nina will get confirmation on what she already knows about Valentin.
The chaos at the wedding will not be limited to Nina and Valentin’s situation. As Nina goes back and forth with her feelings, Jax (Ingo Rademacher) hopes Nina will not stoop to this level and make a public scene, a sudden distraction faces the crowd. General Hospital spoilers reveal Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) will be exposed in front of the majority of Port Charles, at Nina and Valentin’s wedding.
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?
Ever since Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) returned from the ‘dead’ he has been making one bone headed move after another. Not only is Nikolas making mistakes and doesn’t cover his tracks, he is also more ruthless and cunning than before. It’s almost like his situation has hardened him, turning him more and more into a true Cassadine.
After the unsettling scenes with Nikolas and Ava Jerome (Maura West), Ava was left to fall fast asleep from all the extra sedation Nikolas paid the nurse to administer. Unfortunately for Nikolas, he messes up yet another one of his ploys by leaving a trail. He lost his ring in Ava’s room and now people have evidence to lead back to Nikolas. It’s highly unlikely that Ava would be the one to spot the ring since she was left alone in shambles.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) will pay Ava a visit to question her about Helena’s (Constance Towers) painting. GH spoilers hint Nina will be the one to stumble upon Nikolas’ ring, taking it back with her. General Hospital rumors have been swirling that Nina will take the ring with her and possibility show her friend Jax (Ingo Rademacher). Jax has already warned Nikolas that if this isn’t over by New Year’s then he will be telling Nina the truth about what is going on regarding Valentin, the Codicil, and the fact that Nikolas is in fact alive. It’s highly possibly Nina will show Jax her findings. it has been rumored that Jax won’t wait until New Year’s to tell Nina, and that he may just come out and tell her if and when she shows him the ring she found in Ava’s room. Once Jax sees that Nik has made yet another mistake, he will realize it’s time to shut this charade down.
Will Nina be the one to find the Cassadine ring? If so, will she bring it straight to Jax? What will Jax do with the ring? There are so many possibilities! Let us know what you think will happen next!
When it comes to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) there is no telling what he is capable of. His most recent betrayal to the one he loves, Nina (Cynthia Watros) was the last straw. General Hospital spoilers reveal that despite Nina’s seemingly affectionate behavior toward her almost husband, Valentin, Nina is out for revenge on the man that has claimed to love her yet betrayed her in the most hurtful way. Nina has been on a quest for years to find the daughter she thought she lost when she was under the control of her own mother, Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills). Nina had thought she found the missing piece to her life when Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) presented herself as Nina’s daughter at the orders of Valentin Cassadine. Now that Nina knows the truth, and Valentin was behind the ruse this whole time, she is ready for payback.
But was Sasha Valentin’s only pawn in this “Nina’s daughter identity game?” Perhaps not. General Hospital spoilers hint toward the possibility that Valentin has more interest in Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) than anyone thought. Attorney Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) had agreed to take on Nelle’s case and has been working in her defense (so we think). However, his law skills haven’t been of benefit to Nelle since she is still sitting behind bars in Pentonville. He’s been representing her pro bono, which raises a red flag. It seems Martin Gray isn’t just “helping” Nelle in an attempt to win a Good Samaritan award.
General Hospital spoilers insinuate this could be yet another secret of Valentin Cassadine, and the he has hired Martin to represent Nelle, not to help her, but to make sure she stays locked up. Valentin received an update on Nelle from Gray, which leads viewers to wonder why Valentin would be so interested.
Nelle and Valentin have a rocky past dating back to the days she worked as a nanny for his daughter, Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez), when Nelle tried to blackmail Valentin and he turned the tables on her.
Nina has been in search of the daughter she thought she lost back when she was in a coma and under the control of her own mother, Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills). As if Nina hasn’t been hurt enough throughout the years for holding onto hope she will someday find her daughter, now she may be facing another disappointing outcome. She is just starting to get over the heartbreak when she found out that Sasha Gilmore had been lying this entire time and posing as Nina’s daughter, under the orders of Valentin and Nina is ready to get revenge on him.
How will Nina take the news if the GH rumors are true and Nelle Benson is actually Nina’s biological daughter? Is Valentin keeping Nelle away from Nina with pure intentions? It’s possible Valentin just doesn’t want toxic Nelle in Nina’s life. In some way, if Valentin is keeping Nelle’s identity as Nina’s daughter a secret, it could be to protect Nina. GH viewers do know that Valentin is sort of capable of love, as he truly does love his daughter, Charlotte, as well as Nina. Nina is already done with Valentin as she seeks out revenge, but when this truth bomb gets dropped, Nina will be even more shaken by yet another lie and deep dark secret from Valentin.
