Adam Huss Returns to General Hospital as Nikolas Suggests to Ava They Take Down Esme
Huss has been playing the role of the dark prince of the Cassadine clan on and off since 2021. Adam had temporary replaced Marcus Coloma in the part a few times during Coloma’s run.
However, following Coloma’s permanent departure in December of 2022, Huss returned to reprise the role. The character of Nikolas and his most recent portrayer, Huff, last resurfaced on-air back in August and September of 2023.
Now in 2024, and from the looks of it, Nikolas has a plan to payback Esme (Avery Pohl) and wants Ava to be a part of the revenge plot with him; after all Esme helped destroy their marriage.

In story, when Nikolas shocks Ava by turning up on New Year’s Eve, he tells his ex, that he is not back to hurt her, and that he feels terrible for what happened between them.
As they discuss their troubled relationship, and Austin’s death, Nikolas brings it back around to how they were both played by Ryan (Jon Lindstrom) and Esme. Since Ryan is dead, that leaves Esme still walking around. Ava and Nikolas are unaware that Esme’s memory has returned.

So, if Ava agrees to join forces with Nikolas for a common cause, it looks like Huss could be hanging around Port Charles for awhile.
Glad to see Adam back as Nikolas Cassadine? Do you hope Nikolas and Ava bring down Esme once and for all? Comment below.
Very happy to have Adam back on GH
I agree. I too, am happy that Adam Huss will resume the role of Nikolas. However, with the recent passing of Tyler Christoper, I was speculating that GH would retire the character forever.
Over the years it’s been a hit/miss for fans with the various actors playing Nik. I am not saying I wanted GH to permanently kill off Nikolas, but I was thinking of how the F.V. (EP) would carry onward with Nik after Tyler’s passing, no matter who continued to play the character.
I was trying to figure out who would be the nu-Nik. I thought the show would recast or kill off Nikolas for good out of respect for the diehard Tyler Christopher fans. But, surprise surprise, Adam Huss is back, I am happy that GH is going to continue telling the stories of Nikolas, Ava, Spencer, Ace, Laura & (LULU?)… But for how long…?
I am either team Nik & Ava or Nik & Elizabeth. I am not a fan of Finn & Elizabeth no matter how much GH tries to pair them up once again.
I agree
I agree. Welcome back, Adam.
I don’t like him bring back the other one
I agree with you %!
There are several reasons for Nikolas to stay around Port Charles, He has a lot to work out with Spencer, Laura, Esme, Ava, among others. Maura West is too good to not be involved in a major storyline. I hope Nik will stay for an extended time.
I love GH, but the time has come to trim the cast. There are too many characters who we are not seeing enough and some that seem to lose steam because we never see them on screen. I’d like to see more Joss and Dex, Valentin/Charlotte and Anna. Please put us out of our misery with Finn and Elizabeth.
So glad they didn’t use the Joss replacement during Carlys initial grief. It just wouldn’t seem right with a stranger sharing all those emotions. Bad enough with Nina horning in on all the sadness now.
Joss
She went to the funeral
It’s more of a tribute to Tyler Christopher to continue on with the character of Nikolas. I’m sure Christopher would be pleased Nik is back on canvas. And quit hating on Adam Suss
SO happy for Adam Huss to be continuing his duration as Nikolas Cassadine. In comparison to his predecesor, he is a breath of fresh air. And his chemistry with Maura West is out of this world!
Give ava a short hair cut she looks so beautiful with it short not it is always messy
Well said!!!
Can’t stand this actor, every time he speaks, it’s with a snarl. Hope no one thinks this is sexy and haven’t they all done enough to Esme, starting with her own parents, then Nickolas and Prince Spencer and anyone else wanting a shot at her. Why can’t they give her a chance to make ammends?
I feel the same thing about him I think the I wish they would get a new man to play Nicholas. I’ve been watching GH since I was a teenager. I love GH
I agree
I agree with you not sexy not nice looking at all sorry
You have a right to your opinion but I don’t agree. Adam has great chemistry with his on screen (outstanding) partner, Maura West IMO. They are great together as they conspire to seek revenge on Esme!!!
Larry, I don’t disagree with you. I was commenting on his looks to me as a woman, not sexy at all, speaks like a hood, not refined , but the chemestry with Ava is there.
Have you watched recently? Esme doesn’t want to give amends. She’s keeping the recovery of her memory a secret.
Your point being?
Agree with your sentiment about Adam Huss. Find someone who can act and give him the job.
I agree….even though she got her memories back …doesn’t mean she will go bad !!! Nicholas did enough to her! Seems she’s a good Mom !
I need them to bring Steve back as Jason I miss him so much it’s not the same
I miss Jason he was so important to the show
Good to see him
Yes Adam is terrific in the role and he plays well with Maura West. Their scenes are exciting and riveting already and they’re just getting started!
Yes we agree!!!
Tyler played him as a good guy with a bit of a dark side, we need another actor who can play that
I miss Tyler and his smile. He played Prince Cassadine better than anyone could. I think many were hoping Tyler would someday come back to be that Prince again. I don’t think he would want the character of Nikolas Cassadine killed off or “retired.
NO one is indispensable. Never liked Tyler.
True
But the writers need to write him that way. Lately he is not a good guy. I do hope if AH is back long term, they start rehabilitating the character.
I remember rooting for Fizz, I think mainly because I like them both as their characters and portrayers but I’m afraid they are seriously boring… what brought this up is someone said Nik with Liz and there’s no way Adam Huss could ever be anything with Liz like Tyler, he was the best! And I fell in love Finn’s portrayer as John McBain (crap, do I have the last name right?)… Liz needs someone to bring excitement in her life and Finn needs to be with boring Alexis, no I can’t do that to him. Back to Nik… I watch Adam Huss on lifetimes movies and he’s not a bad actor but he’s not Nikolas. It’s going to take someone to take our breath away and change the character’s venue. He doesn’t even care about his children and that does Tyler Christopher an injustice, nobody could pull it off and us love him and his vulnerability. It’s pretty pathetic.
I really liked Marcus in the role, but if they’re not bring him back as Nikolas, I’m glad it’s Adam. I like his Nikolas, too.
He is a terrible actor and has no clue how to play the character
Glad that he’s back! He and Maura West have great chemistry! Love their scenes together!
Yes welcome back and I hope he and Ava will bring down Esma and get his son away from her.
Why would they want to take HER son away? She’s been a great mom to Ace, with Laura’s help and blessings. I’m surprised Ava can take care of her own kid, let alone someone else’s.
I wish this actor didn’t play “angry” all the time. Even when he tried to soften toward Ava, he came across as just nasty. Couldn’t GH find somebody who can play a range of emotions?
My sentiments exactly! Nasty, snarly face.
Does anyone else thinks Adam Huss looks like Stavros. When he come back for his first scene with Ava, thats when I noticed it.
Don’t like him
Not a fan of Adam Huss as Nikolas. He is my least favorite actor to play the role. Tyler Christopher was the one & only Nikolas for me personally. Marcus Coloma was not perfect for the role either but waaaaaaaay better then Adam. I would prefer Marcus back in the Role or someone brand new that is closer acting ability wise to Tyler.
Really enjoying Adam Huss in the role. He was stellar today (Monday) in his reunion with Spencer (Nicholas Chavez was also stellar). If Huss is here for the long haul, the role seems to be in great hands. No, he won’t be the same as Tyler Christopher or Marcus Coloma. But he’s bringing real emotion to the part and holding his own with likes of Genie Francis, Maura West and Mr. Chavez, all powerhouse actors on the show.
CANNOT stand Adam Huss as Nikolas. Doesn’t suit the character at all. Missing Ty Christopher
james scott or greg vaughn would have been far better casting

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
