Marcus Coloma On His GH Exit: “I Don’t Know Why That Decision Was Made, But I Don’t Feel Any ill Will and I Didn’t Feel I Got Fired”

Photo: ABC

This week, GH fans saw Adam Huss returning to the ABC soap opera as Nikolas Cassadine to finish out the rest of the scenes originally intended to be played by Marcus Coloma who ended his three-year run on the show a tad early.

As has been previously reported, Coloma came down with Covid-19 as his final tape days neared, and a decision was made for him to not return to finish off his last run of episodes.

With all the rumors and stances taken by everyone involved, Coloma was the special guest on this week’s episode of the That’s Awesome Podcast hosted by Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson and discussed his departure from the long-running daytime drama series.

Marcus expressed that when he took the role on GH, he was excited to be in that kind of environment (working on a soap opera), and only signed on for three years.  However, as time went by it became more difficult to reconcile leaving when his contract was up, sharing: “You fall in love with the crew and everybody along with it. So, two and a half years in, this decision that was so clear in the beginning is getting complicated.”

The actor added that while, “I knew the end was coming, it wasn’t like GH was saying, ‘Hey, Marcus, we want you to stay.’  There was no negotiation … and all I can say to that is I don’t know why that decision was made, but I don’t feel any ill will and I didn’t feel like I got fired. It just felt like … there was maybe an understanding that I was going to be there for three years. The big surprise is how much it hurt. Even though I knew I was going to leave.”

In the end, Coloma reflected that this may have concluded as it should, adding, “I really do have some big goals and those goals would have never been realized if I would have stayed. That’s not to take anything away from GH because I admire everything about it.”

Watch the episode of That’s Awesome featuring Coloma below.

Then weigh-in, what do you think of Marcus’ thoughts on his exit as GH’s Nikolas Cassadine? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

I get it. Had a lot of trouble with the new Drew, too. I would picture the old actor in his place. But I got used to Nina and I really couldn’t picture Michelle Stamford in the Nina transformation. She was classier for Crimson, but I couldn’t picture her doing the human aspect of it as well as Cynthia. Stuff happens- things change. We go with it and enjoy what we have.

I agree, Shirley—-this Huss guy has no charisma whatsoever—-Funny how it’s mostly us women who appreciate Coloma and not this new guy.
I don’t know—Coloma acted and looked polished and refined to me—classy. I’m not getting any good or bad vibes from Huss, which means he’s just there, taking up space. Just my opinion. No appeal!!

Lew S.

Hi Celia, I totally agree with everything you said.

Celia

Thanks, Lew!! Sometimes it takes getting used to a new character, but I have this sixth sense about Huss as I do of Ali—They just lack that certain savoir faire. I always try to give a replacement charecter a chance, and I have. These two turn me off.
It too me exactly a week to fall for NuNina—I guess it depends on the vibe we get from the characters—hit or miss?. LOL

Scott (ATWT fan)

Celia, the EXACT way you have explained Adam Huss is exactly how Marcus Coloma was. He allowed his co-stars to carry him through scenes, and he was barely putting in an ounce of effort to his work. His firing was long overdue.

Celia
Guest
Celia

I cannot disagree with you, Scott—your comments are always “en pointe”. Sometimes, a character’s looks obfuscates our sense and sensibility. LOL—From a woman’s point of view, Coloma is not the typical Adonis, but he is so very sexy. I cringe when I see Huss. His face and demeanor are not qualities which make him memorable to me. Just my opinion, as flat and superficial as it may be..
Good hearing from you.❤️

But it’s not an ending for him; it’s an ending for Nikolas and that’s not a good thing. Hoping the writers have a twist mind because killing off a major legacy character is just as much a mistake as killing off AJ and Alan Quartermaine.

Harry
Guest

Marcus was never great but Adam is. Marcus slept walked through his performance and I never felt anything for Nikolas when he played him. It’s amazing that a temporary actor managed to step into this role and own a wealth of intense emotions breathing new life into this character. Marcus had three years to flesh out the character of Nikolas Cassadine and failed to do so. I suspect that was why his contract was not renewed.

Debbie
Guest

Completely agree. I’m sure he is a nice guy, but not a great actor. Very little range. Always seemed out of sorts to me

Scott (ATWT fan)
Guest
Scott (ATWT fan)

Too risky hiring him back then, and still now. From a business standpoint, he’s a risk and insurance to cover him is likely too much. Not to mention, based on what we know, he wouldn’t have been hirable in 2019, considering his removal from Days of Our Lives.

JoAnn von Den Burgh

Hi, Deb—I doubt very much Harry meant any disrespect. It’s a figure of speech , “Marcus who”— literary sarcasm which many of us here employ—especially moi!!—I can really drag a character/actor down. I appreciate Harry’s wit and I get him.
Nonetheless, it’s his opinion, whether we agree with it or not—you know—free speech and all that…
We are expressing our views and thoughts—the point of these sites.

Google Marcus Coloma and Scientology. You will find out all the classes he took. That is the real reason he was fired. He was recruiting people on the show for his “religion”. It is also the same reason Frank fired fellow Scientologist Michelle Stafford and wrote the story on the cult. He wanted her gone as she was recruiting the young girls on the show. Someone on Reddit posted this info and it seems plausible.

OG Steve
Guest

Not going to defend Scientology but that’s definitely not the reason Coloma’s contract wasn’t renewed. As for Stafford, her contract negotiations stalled and Y&R swooped in with an offer for her to “return home.”

That would be a good lawsuit against him. Getting rid of them for religious reasons.

Scientology as a “religion”. Most absurd thing I have ever heard. I used to love Stafford but now I loathe her as Phyllis on YnR. Her character is one note, vicious, and has zero purpose to exist. Just like every other character on that show.

Not sure I would compare the two. Steve Burton IS Jason. They tried a recast and it didn’t really work. I put Billy Miller’s “Jason” in the same category as Greg Vaughan’s version of Lucky. Two good actors who were good fits for GH overall, they just didn’t work as recasts of iconic GH legacy characters. In Miller’s case, they found a solution by giving Jason a twin brother nobody knew he had. Nobody was going to buy that retcon if they had tried it with Lucky, but Greg moved on to Days, and he’s been well received as Eric… Read more »

Ttue. That is not acting! That is writing. Steve is a two time Emmy winner for a reason. No he is not a master thespian, but when he is given good material, he really does it justice. Since Jason’s accident in 1996, every regime has chosen to keep Jason as the brain damaged murderer. They never allowed his character to grow, remember, or become a real character outside of who he was in relation to Sonny and Carly. 27 years of rerun writing is too long for any soap storyline. Jason’s amnesia and reaulting work for Sonny was maybe good… Read more »

Did you ever see that episode with Monica, Ghost Alan, and some “magic glasses” where she saw some “alternate timeline” where Jason didn’t get his brain scrambled, finished medical school, became a doctor and then got a serious cocaine habit? Considering both Alan & Monica struggled with addictions (as did AJ & Emily) it’s certainly not out of the question that “Dr. Jason” might have carried on the “bad” family traditions as well as the “good ones”. Though I always did appreciate those rare moments when he actually was able to tap into his medical training buried deep in his… Read more »

This is a disaster. Like him or not (I did), Marcus looks like Anthony Hopkins compared to his replacement. I’d have to go back decades to find such a poor substitute. His “emotions” seem like script directions — “Now act angry. Now act sorry. Now cry fake tears.” He doesn’t remotely suggest someone raised in luxury, attended good schools, or radiates some class or breeding. The character of Nikolas has been ruined by the writing and now I can’t even enjoy watching a great-looking actor TRYING to salvage him. His scenes with young Mr. Chavez are particularly embarrassing. It’s sad… Read more »

Going to have to disagree with you 100% here. In over 45 years of following GH, Adam Huss is nowhere near the bottom 10 recasts (permanent or temporary). Long time viewers remember the disasters of Camilla Moore (Anna), Sandra Ferguson (Felicia), Jed Allan (Edward), Jennifer Branson (Carly) or more recently Oliver Muirhead (Ashton) come immediately to mind. And some of those performers had good runs on other soaps.

Huss actually showed emotions, a nice change for the character.

It’s so funny that people like you that ” don’t watch on a regular basis” think they have all the answers? Most of us agree that Britt leaving for good was a bad idea, unless everyone felt she was totally irreplaceable. Again, most of think the new Heather is doing a hell of a job and the original one was not physically able to return. FYI, Bobbi is NOT history, she was just on last week helping to deliver Willow’s baby. You probably don’t even know who Willow is!

Sonya Eddy (Epiphany) died just before Christmas. The title card notice was added to the first episode that wasn’t already edited. The show is written out 2-3 months before airing. Frank has already announced they’ll have a tribute at the end of March.

Jason wasn’t the type for funerals as was mentioned when the character was last presumed dead in 2012. No surprise they didn’t have one this time.

He is a good actor but I don’t think Adam is a good Nikolas at all. The writers have ruined Nikolas so much that I don’t think anyone could play him no matter how great of an actor. It is a shame that they are getting rid of the character though. How many characters have they gotten rid of in the past 12 mths? enough already!
I thought Marcus really grew into the role but there will never be a Nikolas like Tyler.

Oh c’mon, he had to have known. He’d been coasting in the role since they resumed filming in September 2020. He relied on his co-stars to carry his lazy “acting” through every single scene he was in. He acted with the likes of Genie Francis & Maura West, and did not even show up. The ONLY time he showed up was when Nik slept with Esme, which was gross, and on his social media posts. But it shows how little he thought of his time there by unfollowing every single person he followed from that cast. What a petty, petty… Read more »

I do not feel Adam Huss’s portrayal of Nicolas is on point, but I didn’t feel Marcus’s was either. Christopher Tyler was born to play that role and it’s going to be hard for anyone to represent Nicolaus like he did.. Where’s Christopher Tyler at? He wasn’t available to come back? I know that would make a lot of people happy.

I’m sorry to say but I am glad to see him go. Wasn’t in love with his acting style. Love the new Nicholas. He has a lot of range. Do wish him a lot of luck in future endeavors

GH EP Frank Valentini On Taping the Sonya Eddy Tribute Episode: “It Was an Extraordinary Script, and It Was a Labor of Love That Day”

This week on General Hospital, the ABC daytime dramas series kicks off its 60th anniversary set of episodes, with what is sure to be the most emotional – the tribute episode for the late Sonya Eddy in honor of her beloved GH character, Epiphany Johnson.

GH’s executive producer spoke with Soap Opera Digest (in their latest issue on newsstands now), about how the show decided to handle the delicate subject of a real-life cast member’s passing and connect it to the story on the canvas of the soap opera.

In conjunction with GH co-head writers, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor, the trio decided that if they weren’t ever going to be able to see Sonya as Epiphany again, that there was no way they were going to ever recast the role.  Valentini shared: “We decided it was important to honor not only Sonya, but Epiphany and we wanted to dedicate a full entire episode all about that.”

The EP went on to give praise to his writers, and the cast for their performances when taping the episode: “I think everyone was touched by what the writer’s wrote. It was an extraordinary script and it was a labor of love that day in honor of Sonya, who was so incredibly loved by everybody in the cast and  crew.

The way the death of Epiphany is structured on the airshows is key also to the upcoming Nurses’ Ball episodes set to air the following week. Frank expressed: “Epiphany is a very pivotal person in the Nurses’ Ball, so it’s almost like a part two (of her tribute).

The Sonya Eddy tribute episode airs Wednesday March 29th.

Are you looking forward to seeing how GH honors Sonya and the beloved Epiphany of GH? Comment below.
