Viewers who watched Monday’s episode of General Hospital, were in for a bit of deja vu, when actor Adam Huss was seen taking on the role of Nikolas Cassadine.

Previously, Huss had subbed for actor Marcus Coloma for a single episode back in September of 2021.  Adam actually appeared on the September 29th, 2021 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

There has been no word as to why there was once again a temporary recast for Coloma, and if Huss was just filling-in for one day, but fans of the show might find out if Adam continues to appear this week.

In story, Nikolas tried to keep Esme (Avery Pohl) locked up and hidden by any means possible, and received a visit from Ava (Maura West). Meanwhile, at the end of today’s episode, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) came to Wyndemere to talk to Nikolas about Esme.

On his Instagram on his GH temp assignment, Adam expressed: “Beyond grateful to fill in on @generalhospitalabc I had the most amazing time stepping in to play the dynamic character of Nikolas Cassadine and the casting department @markteschner and Lisa Booth, cast and crew may be the kindest, most hard working bunch of consummate professionals I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with in entertainment! No lie!”

So, did you enjoy Adam’s portrayal of Nikolas? Comment below.

Yes, I most definitely enjoyed his performance. He’s so much more likable than Coloma. I can’t stand his looks, acting or anything about him, but, that’s what shows how good he is, right?

Hi Violet 🙂
I never cared for Coloma. ..
he looks too young and not manly enough to be a Cassadine..
he doesn’t have a Cassadine persona-
He was badly cast…. He ain’t no Cassadine, nope..
He makes Ava look like a cougar lol..

Hi SuOOO
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I know a lot of our ladies here love Coloma but I just could never see his appeal, and you are right, he is dwarfed in Ava’s shadow. By the time Spencer is released from prison, HE will look like the father!

For me they have never found the right Nikolas yet. Especially when acting with someone like Maura/Ava.

Actually prefer him in the role over Coloma. Can come off a bit more edgier and appears more menacing than Coloma.

Pure speculation, but this might be due to contract negotiations with Coloma whose just completed 3 years on the show. Perhaps there was a delay coming to terms on one side or the other.

Regardless of who plays Nikolas, the writers need to get back to the smart caring prince and not this dumbed down version we’ve been seeing for a while.

Yes, he’s much more convincing playing a menacing Cassadine. Marcus appeared to be kind of goofy, like Jerry Lewis in The Nutty Professor sans the transformative potion.

Yes. I think he’s great. Seamless transition. Good looking actor who can act! He and Maura had great chemistry even in their brief scenes. The role is safe in his hands when Marcus is unavailable.

I always say, I never want to see someone lose a job BUT, Adam is so much more likable than Marcus! Plus, Adam and Avery Pohle make instant fire! Keep Adam!

I think he plays too angry and too menacing. Nikolas would not take glee in abusing and keeping a young pregnant girl hostage. He is a bit too dark … But perfectly adequate as a fill in.

I agree, JJ; only a fill-in for me. Nikolas is a spoiled rich guy and with that comes a little class and refinement that Adam doesn’t really display. Also, on a superficial level, he doesn’t have Marcus’ sexy prettiness that seems more suitable with Ava. No offense, but Mr. Huss seems more appropriate as a mechanic in Brando’s shop. Though that can be sexy, too…Brando sure was.

Yes! I hope he stays on as Nikolas. I’ve always thought Marcus was not a good fit for that role. Please keep Adam Huss

Nicholas is a tough role, playing a guy who keeps doing totally stupid, inexcusable things and acting opposite daytime powerhouses who are the best actors on the show with clearly-defined characters. I imagine it is very hard for an actor to find their footing in that context, and to have a firm sense of what their character’s motivation is because it keeps changing. I can see that Marcus Coloma does his best with the role, but right away I preferred Adam Huss as Nicholas. I could kind of see the character’s idiotic behaviour in a different, more layered way.

Brenda,

Loved everything you say, and though Coloma does nothing for me except trying to act all rich and powerful, it doesn’t work. As Soaphound says, he’s a spoiled ,rich guy. He doesnt get anywhere, just stamps his foot, expecting everyone to jump, but no one does. Ava and the old pain in the ass uncle lead him around by his nose. His own mother sees his weakness and ineffectiveness. He keeps his son’s pregnant girlfriend locked up instead of turning her in, when he thinks she’s the hooker, though we know she’s not. He’s just a big mouth wimp. Bet he locks his bedroom door at night.

Nicholas is a tough role, playing a guy who keeps doing totally stupid, inexcusable things and acting opposite so many daytime powerhouses who are the best actors on the show (and have clearly-defined characters). I imagine it is very hard for an actor to find their footing in that context, and to have a firm sense of what the character’s motivation is because it keeps changing. I can see that Marcus Coloma does his best with the role, but he’s had a hard time conveying what Nicholas is about in the way that we know exactly what makes Valentin, Victor, Ava, Laura and even Spencer and Esme tick. Right away I preferred Adam Huss in the role. I could kind of see the character’s idiotic behaviour in a different, more layered way. I was impressed that he came in cold and did so well.

I think Marcus Coloma is the best Nicholas, I use to love Tyler Christopher but I like Marcus so much more , I didn’t like Adam Huss as Nicholas, he seemed way too mean! Marcus is handsome & charming & I love his videos with Maurice, they are awesome together on instagram & TikTok , please keep Marcus as Nicholas, Adam can become someone new, just my opinion anyway.

Joan Marie
I still love Tyler Christopher and would welcome him back in any capacity. How nice that you like Marcus and Maurice’s little entertaining videos, but that’s not how you measure a good actor, well maybe I’m wrong about that, evidenced by their Shtick.

Marcus Coloma had mentioned that he had Covid thus Adam Huss filling in again. Although, I don’t know how long he is out. How is it that the GH actors are getting Covid and having to be replaced whereas none of the other soaps seem to have any problem?! I just find it odd. Anyway, Huss is doing a good job. I’ve gotten used to Marcus playing Nicholas but I don’t think he is as good as Tyler Christopher was in the role.

JAD
Maybe others followed Steve Burton’s lead and didn’t get their shots, but then again, he couldnt get away with it, so don’t know how the others could.

Huss is ok but I prefer Coloma—Can’t beat the virility emanating from his deep stare—and those lips—Oh, those lips….
I think the anger Nikolas feels for Esme is a tell-all sign of something deeper, like attraction, or even love, if I dare say—maybe?—-methinks he “protesteths” too much.
Would psycho Esme do something to harm her own unborn baby?

Adam is a great substitute. IF Marcus ever leaves, I’d love Adam to take it. To be honest, I still find Marcus to be ‘soft’ as a Nikolaus. Tyler still my favorite (of course) and Nick Stabile was quite good. Adam is strong and does a really great job!

Maybe Coloma can take some cues from Huss’s performance? I see I’m not the only one who was impressed with the fresh take on Nikolas.

Well, Coloma is leaving for sure it looks like. Hopefully Adam will be replacing him, if not Tyler Christopher which doesn’t look imminent. Good luck to the new Nickolas, he’ll need it!

He’s darker, edgier. I guess this means the Cassidines are going to be nastier than ever for the foreseeable future. Damn, not a Cassidine storyline fan.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.

This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED

When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.

In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”

When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).

Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!

So, glad to see Brad Cooper and Selina Wu back in action? Do you hope they stay for a bit? What do you think of Josslyn getting the piers? Is this how she sets out to destroy Sonny? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Trina, Willow, Josslyn GH Preview

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers for the ABC daytime drama series, and the just released video teaser, reveal that several women are in serious peril, but in very different ways.

First, Lulu (Alexa Havins) finds out that Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is suing her for libel! Looks like Willow took Chase’s (Josh Swickard) advice to fight back on these “allegations” levied by an “out-of-it “Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) who now claims everything he told Lulu in their recorded interview was a lie. However, the GH faithful viewers know what Sidwell said is true.

Willow is ready to prove her innocence to the Quartermaines too after entering their home. Will anyone be able to crack Willow and get her to admit to all she has perpetrated, but in a court of law, so she can be sentenced for some of her crimes, or will she continue to walk around Port Charles forever unscathed?

A SONNY TAKEDOWN

Meanwhile, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) wants to take down Sonny (Maurice Benard). So, she has decided to leverage being forced by the WSB to take the CEO position of her father’s company, JJE, in order to do so.

Sonny contends he has gone straight and is no longer in the mob, but try as he might, he may have to fall back into his old ways so people see the light!

Knowing Josslyn, and everyone else refuses to believe he had nothing to do with the prison beatdown of Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell, Sonny says, “If Josslyn thinks I’m gonna let her destroy me. She’s dead wrong.”

ROSES AND CAR TROUBLE

Meanwhile, looks like Trina’s stalker is amping up their obsession. Now, at her latest musical gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge, she receives a card and a bouquet of roses. The card reads, ‘From your biggest fan.”

Later, we see Trina sitting in her car having trouble getting it to start. Suddenly, there is a knock on her car window. Quinn (Jequan Jackson) is standing there with a smile on his face, and says, “Car trouble?” Trina is startled. Is Quinn just there to help out, or is something more heinous about to go down? Stay tuned.

Now below, take a look at more GH spoilers for the week of October 12-16.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Eva LaRue Talks Guest Performer Daytime Emmy Nod With Maurice Benard: ‘I Only Have a Nomination Because of You’

Published

It was back in episodes of June of 2025 that saw the undoing and ultimate death of Natalia Rogers-Ramirez after complex and poignant scenes delivered by soap opera vet, Eva LaRue on General Hospital. Prior to her demise, Sonny (Maurice Benard) had Natalia believing they were going to head out of the country and set up their lives together, only for Sonny to pull out at the last moment after learning of all of Natalia’s deception.

Throughout her run on GH, LaRue’s Natalia became one of the most hated characters of the year, especially because of the character’s bigotry against her own gay children, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) and Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), and that she was revealed to be the ex-wife of Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). But even with all that, Eva triumphed and secured a Daytime Emmy nomination going into the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards on October 30 in the Outstanding Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama Series.

LaRue faces tough competition from the other nominees that include: Christopher Sean (Paul, Days of our Lives), Jasmine Burke (June Hughes, Beyond the Gates), Jeff Kober (ex-Cyrus Renault, General Hospital), and Ray Wise (ex-Ian Ward, The Young and the Restless).

EVA LARUE SCORED HER FOURTH EMMY NOMINATION

Now, on a new Sunday, October 11 edition of Maurice Benard’s mental health series, State of Mind, the two former co-stars talked about LaRue’s fourth Daytime Emmy nomination. She previously won an Emmy for her work as as Celeste Rosales on The Young and the Restless in this same category in 2020, and was nominated three other times including this year.

The others were for co-writing the song, “Dance with You Again” for All My Children in 2004 and in 1997 in the Supporting Actress category her role as Mario Santos on the beloved ABC soap opera.

Speaking on her nomination, LaRue says it’s Maurice who was truly helped her deliver her performances. “I only have a nomination because of you,” she said to the three-time Daytime Emmy winning Lead Actor. “You said to me that you were going to get nominated.” Eva added, “God bless the writers because they wrote some fantastic stuff for me to go out on.”

Maurice responded, “You had levels in your work that day that we did those scenes. But you were on fire!”

MAURICE BENARD’S BOLD EMMY PREDICTION

Explaining the category she is nominated for to Benard, LaRue said, “I’m nominated for Outstanding Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama Series. So (the category) was those of us who were like not on contract, but we were there for a while. I mean now, I feel like that guest thing is so much more competitive than it ever was, because so many of the soap operas are taking people off contract, which then throws them into the Guest category.”

Benard, who shares he has great Emmy karma predicting the acting awards on daytime’s biggest night, made his bold 2026 prediction sharing his pick. “I would say you’re gonna win (to LaRue). And I would say if not, it’s between you and somebody else. There’s no reason why you wouldn’t win for the ‘Guest’ category.”

You can watch part 1 of the conversation between Eva LaRue and Maurice Benard on State of Mind below. With part 2 being released next Sunday on October 18.

Now, let us know, do you think Eva has a chance at grabbing the gold for her work as Natalia-Rogers Ramirez on General Hospital? Would you like to see her win? It’s been a very heavy time for Eva after just recently losing her brother. Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.
