Adam Huss Shares on Playing General Hospital’s Nikolas Cassadine: “I’m Very Passionate About The Role”
General Hospital fans have been all up in their feelings, as of late, when it comes to who they want to see play Nikolas Cassadine. However, as of now, the part is being played by Adam Huss.
In story, it was revealed that Nikolas is alive and recovering well from his injuries (and his coma) after being clobbered over the head with a statue by Ava Jerome (Maura West) many months ago, and that Austin (Roger Howarth) has known about this all along and where he is hiding out.
Huss subbed for Marcus Coloma several times during the former Nikolas’ three-year run on the ABC daytime drama series from 2o19-2023. Before Coloma, viewers were used to Daytime Emmy-winner, Tyler Christopher in the notable role from 1996-1999, then he was replaced by Stephen Martines 1999-2003. Christopher returned to the role and played it from 2003-2016. In addition, Nick Stabile had filled-in for Christopher as the dark prince in 2016.

Adam, took to his IG account on Thursday, to share a special message and ‘thank you’ to the GH fans on his recent return:”Wanted to send love & massive gratitude out for all the beautiful support and comments from you wonderful General Hospital fans. I’m very passionate about this role and can’t answer all of the messages, but EVERY KIND ONE means the world to this guy!”
According to Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue, they share Huss is ‘back for another stint’ as Nikolas.
So, excited to see just how Huss puts even more of his own spin on Nikolas in the episodes ahead? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

I welcome Adam, a fine actor.
Love his Nicholas. I don’t find a thing about Adam Huss to not like. Looking forward to GH’s fall season.
I know he has had his troubles but i find it odd that articles like this never seem to mention that Stephen Martines/Coltin Scott also played Nikolas, for 4 years (1999-2003). At any rate, Adam is my favorite of all the Nikolas portrayers.
This article mentions Stephen Martines
He not the best one !!! Tyler Christopher is one of them but the original one was the best then Tyler
Tyle IS the original; he’s the first actor to play Nikolas and the one who played him the longest.
Colton Scott Tyler Christopher an Marcus Coleman are the best ones who ever played nim cassdine
I’m sorry but Marcus was a mouth breather who could not emote to save his life. I understand folks like his good looks but he’s just not a very good actor. This became glaringly obvious when he was in scenes with Nicholas Chavez (Spencer). I felt like Maura West and Genie Frances were always trying to prop him up and he just couldn’t keep up.
Hi Harry! Hope you’re well. I have to disagree regarding Marcus. I thought he was able to convey a wide range of emotions without over-acting. He had a mellow vibe, and while others were singing Nicholas Chavez’s (Spencer’s) praises I was holding my ears or muting him. I thought he was WAY over the top bordering on hysteria during his outburst scenes (I think he’s much improved since). Marcus was able to react by showing hurt and disapproval; disbelief, on his face, while saying in a stern voice or in a hurt manner how he felt about Spencer’s words and actions, without it becoming a screaming match. If Michelle Stafford was still playing Nina and she and “Spencer” got into it, the TV screen would probably have shattered; self-combusted. lolllll
Some articles “forget” about Stephen Martines because he’s a fugitive conman wanted in several states, and that’s not something you want associated with the show.
It’s really too bad, because he did a decent job as Nikolas 2.0. Not as good as Tyler Christopher, but he played fairly well against the first return from popsicle land of his daddy Stavros back in the early 2000s.
It could be said that the only reason Marcus Coloma got the part in the first place is because he looked a lot like Martines… who obviously was not coming back. Unfortunately he couldn’t act as well as Martines did.
Hello, I am glad that they did not kill off Nicholas, eventhough Nicholas is a new character.
It’s Nikolas, not Nicholas.
Scott
I’m flabbergasted by the constant wrong spelling of a character that’s been on the canvas for over 25 years. Are that many people voice transcribing their comments? Michael clearly spells the character name in the headline and story.
I swear some just… don’t pay attention. MANY soap characters, honestly. Steffy from The Bold and the Beautiful is another one I constantly see misspelt.
I was just about to check you on misspelt, but I just learned that’s the British way, so I learned something new.
Lesley Webber and Viki Lord are two others I’ve seen confused over the years.
Hmm no Nicholas is a legacy character if anything. He is Laura’s son and was first on in his teenage years…
New to the show?
I don’t like the Nickolas bring back the other one
No. Also, it’s Nikolas, not Nickolas.
Yea, it’s the Russian spelling of the name.
True enough… though the rewrite of the Cassadines as “Russian” was a dumb idea from the start.
The OG Cassadines were Greek. Mikkos is a very Greek name. Their island family compound is off the coast of Greece. I’m not even sure where the whole Russian thing came from… unless they claim that was Helena’s family background. But that doesn’t work, because Alexis had a very Russian sounding name (Natasha Davidovich or whatever it was) and obviously she had no genetic ties to Helena.
Tyler Christopher will always be Nikolas to me. Please bring him back.
We need to accept the fact that this won’t be happening in the near future.
Steve Martinez is Colton Scott real name. Said he was a recast 1999 to 2003.. he played a good Nik an so did Tyler Christopher. An Marcus colman
Glad joshua is returning to stir things up and Adam huss back in action with Ava now Nina needs to go. Thanks for saving Sasha good job coty
I like Adam’s take on Nicholas. He does not come across as weak and winy as the last one.
They to keep him!
I am so sick and tired of seeing Laura’s children treated so badly and sent off the canvas so often. Laura is a central character on GH and her family has been decimated. TPTB need to right that wrong. I know Cyrus and Martin were added as her long-lost brothers but, golly-days, give us back her children.
Keep Adam on contract!
Adam Huss is fine, but lacks the touch of the aristocratic that Valentin conveys effortlessly. Huss can develop this combination given time. Plus, he looks like his age is about right for the roles.
And that passion of which he speaks, transfers over. He stepped onto this role during a climatic peak for this character’s story arc, and pulled in an emotionally gut wrenching performance. When Marcus played Nikolas, I felt nothing and either tended to chores while he was on screen or fast forwarded. If we can’t have Tyler, whom I loved, then I’ll happily accept Adam. He’s damn good.
Sorry but GH should have Never gotten rid of Marcus Colmes his was a fantastic Nicholas. Adam Husk is a good Actor but not for the role of Nicholas
Marcus can’t act. That’s why he was let go. The end.
I don’t really like Huss in the roll of Nikolas. I wish Tyler Christopher would reprise the roll. I think is waa the best actor in that roll.

Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart.

In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.
Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support.

Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.
So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other
The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.
Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).
When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.
Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.
What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
