GH’s Adam Huss on the Emotional Scenes Where Nikolas is Reunited with Ace: “I’ve Got to Hand it To Him. That Kid Gave Me Gold”
One of the buzzy scenes of this week featured General Hospital’s Adam Huss (Nikolas), Nicholas Chavez (Spencer) and Joey Clay (Ace, who shares the role with twin brother Jay). The trio played out the emotional moments when Spencer handed Nikolas his son, baby Ace, and the two shared the cutest reunion.
The highly-anticipated scenes not only featured a reunion between baby and dad, but also father and older son. Huss spoke on taping the key moments in the evolution of Nikolas’ storyline.
Speaking with SoapHub, Huss shared what it was like working with little Joey as baby Ace in the scene, where the little guy, looked more than comfortable in the arms of his Port Charles bio-dad.

Adam expressed, “I’ve got to hand it to him.” He asked, “That kid gave me a real gift. His natural instincts gave me gold.” In an ad-libbed moment, after Ace reached out to his dad a beat or two earlier than written, it was up to Huss and Chavez to make it work. “Nicholas Chavez and I just rolled with it,” shared Huss. There was a natural gift that came out of (that moment). That was magic.”
On the Clay brothers Instagram account, it shared:”Overwhelmed by the kind comments from today’s episode! 🌟 Joey & Jay, at just 17 months, have already ACED so many incredible scenes. Here’s to many more to come!”

Viewers also noted how solid the scenes were between Spencer and Nikolas which featured Spencer in tears and Nikolas trying to make amends. Huss had nothing but praise for Chavez: “Nicholas is such a great actor. I know whatever I’m going to get from him is gold. I felt Spencer’s vulnerability and love and frustration for me.”

Reunited?????? Ace and Nikolas were never “united”. This guy confuses love with possession. Ace is a Cassadine: ergo, a possession. It’s a diabolical saga.—-and “the beat goes on!!”
ace is not a cassadine,esme slept wth somebody else,might hve been cameron
Nope Cameron is her paternal cousin through her bio dad Steven Lars Webber a lot of fans believe that Ace is a Quartermaine and his father is Michael.
Do “a lot fans” equal just one? Nobody else on this site subscribes to this crazy theory. Ryan Chamberlain is unequivocally Esme’s bio dad. And the Michael part is just comical.
What’s next? The love child of Lila Quartermaine and Casey the Alien?
Huh Heather is her Mom and Ryan us her Dad that makes Steven Lars her half brother.
There’s nothing in the storyline that ever suggested such a possibility.
Yes, Esme is capable of such a lie. Yes, it’s unlikely (but not impossible) that a blue eyed, blonde baby would come from two dark haired parents.
But Esme was not seen with anybody other than Nikolas anywhere near the time that she did the unholy deed with Nikolas. So it would require a major rewrite to establish anybody else as Ace’s father. And don’t expect that from these writers, who can’t even give the poor kid an actual name.
Thank you, Satan. You said it all❤️
You realize this is not real, correct? This article is about how amazingly the little actor baby responded to his actor father. The scene was done so well and apparently not scripted the way it went down, thanks to the little boy reacting in such a beautiful way.
No, this is real. Are you kidding me? Do you think I live in an artificial world? Try it on someone else. You see—-I bite. —-seems to me, you are the one who believes this is real. You’re so into the fallacy, you just had to take the time to explain it to me. WOW. You’re so deep!!
Celia you are right-on.They were not re-united because they were never togethet..They lucked out here because that little boy played into the scene so well, snuggling up to Nik, why I’d everyone acting like the Golden Prince has returned?
The Golden Prince—-Love the sarcasm, Violet.
I think that the only reason Nikolas took Ace was to spite Esme. This guy had no love for anyone. Who shows up in town without taking the time to see his own mother? If Adam is the permanent Nikolas, I will have to FF his scenes. Childish, perhaps, but I care not. His eyes give me the creeps. LOL.
Great job Adam!! Hoping you finally become our new Nikolas on a contract basis.
Adam Huss is the best. I can’t wait to see him in scenes with Genie Frances. I too hope he receives a contract.
Those scenes were amazing! That little boy played his role well…ACED it!!!!
A baby has no concept of acting/role playing.. He’s just a calm child who seems to be happy with anyone who holds him. Lucky parents—
I thought it was great! They actors were on it.
Babies Ace deserve an EMMY!
Bravo for this entire scenario all 3 deserve a emmy
That was a soap moment that I will never forget. The three actors outdid themselves. This is defintely Emmy-worthy for all of them. Let’s not forget the writers, directors and everyone else behind the scenes. Scenes such as this is why soaps should be here forever.
Ace is definitely a Quartermaine Esme slept with a drunk Michael and Michael has no recollection of the events that happened except waking up at a hotel theirs always a twist.
You’ve posted this cockamamie theory on other sites and were shot down there. Doubt you’ll get a better reception here.
I agree, Mr Fairman’s reporting and story on all the remaining soaps are excellent.. but many of the comments are just plain toxic and makes me wonder why people bother watching the shows just to complain.
They are tv soap operas… no reason to take them so seriously.
That’s why he/she is anonymous….LOL
Nikolas should have his son…and Spencer is a dumbarse playing daddy to a child, not his..
I hope Nikolas takes Spencer down for playing daddy and for his stupidity in being with Trina..
Hey, SusieQ—Thanks for seeing my “light” when referring to nuTrina and Spencer.
However, Nikolas has no right to Ace, especially not by kidnapping him. Neither he nor Spencer is thinking of the baby, who was taken out of his environment —-so crucially important at this age to be within familiar “walls” and people. He will be devastated not being with his Mommy.
Nikolas, so like Spencer, at this point, is an unfeeling, self-centered Cassadine —so true to form.
Get rid of Nicholas. Please
yes great performance by the actors, the baby was great but poor baby looked like a hostage waiting to be rescued, I hope Spencer gets in trouble for basically aiding on the kidnapping of his own brother, Laura really looked disappointed in son and grandson, the dark princes.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
