i have to say i’m not a fan of temp casting when the original actor is out, but i have to admit i’m glad the story kept playing out, and both actors who have filled in for the characters of nikolas and maxy have done a good job, so kudos to them but lets get the originals back.

Awwww, I feel sad. Even though I was a bit on the fence about his acting (some scenes better than others yet I still enjoyed him as Nic) there is just something about him I REALLY like! Charm…don’t know what it is but i felt myself looking forward to his scenes. Perhaps as some have suggested ( and yes I know the cast is, dare I say it, “bloated”) they could come up with another role for him; he’s just that likable!

He was terrific.

No offense to Mr. Stabile, but thank goodness! I could not buy him as Nicholas for one second, and FF through all his scenes with Ava…

I luvs Tyler Christopher..
But—-
I also luved Nick Stabile,, I really enjoyed his portrayal of Nikolas,,
I will miss him I wish he could remain being Nickolas 🙁

I have really enjoyed Nick Stabile’s “Nikolas.” I’m sad to see him go.

This wasnt the real Prince Nik so his fall does not count-lol…Nik Stabile would had made a fine AJ Q…this story is just so-so ok but not exciting…i see no chemistry between Parker and Kristina nor do i see it with Kinki and Snorgan-lol

I thought Nick S. did a terrific job! Would like to see him come back as a different character. Still waiting for Chris Tyler to return.

The lack of information regarding Tyler’s return seems odd. When Kirsten Storms left temporarily, her return was quickly discussed. This quiet is concerning – even though Tyler seems to be Tweeting GH appearances. I just want to know that he IS returning. Don’t care when – let that be a surprise.

have adored nick stabiles acting for years and throughout the soaps. he will be immensely missed. his chemistry with the ava character was impeccable. praying that they bring him back in another role. tyler is also a great actor and long overdue for that emmy win. 2 keepers.

I adored him as Nik and I so wish him back some how soon on anything. But happy to have the main nick back too.

I will miss him and applaud his performance in a difficult situation

OH NO !!! I was just getting adjusted to “Temp Nik”. I wish Nick Stabile the best of luck on his next acting gig.

I have been a huge fan of Nick’s since he first appeared on Sunset Beach! I hate to see him go. He did a fantastic job replacing Tyler.

I REAL’ly and – truly – commend…. laud even

Nick Stabile &
Molly Burnett

bang up good dang job…. as temporary recasts: ie: Nicholas & Maxie

Nick did a Fantastic job as Nicholas. I wish him much luck and success.

I loved Nick; I never fast forwarded through his scenes , I fast forwarded to his scenes. I’ll miss him because he and Ava were good together. I agree that the writers should bring him back as A.J. or someone relevant .

I thought he did a great job in the role. I’ll miss him.

Nick Stabile gave a good effort, I give him props for that. I personally never bought him as Nikolas, cause Tyler is so ingrained in that role for me after 20 years. But he tried, that’s all you can ask. I look forward to hopefully seeing Tyler back soon, and this story continuing to play out, whether this was a fake Nikolas as others have mentioned, or whatever direction they’re going in. I love what they’ve done so far. James Patrick Stuart has been tremendous as Valentin thus far.

Definitely wouldn’t mind seeing Nick on the show in the future playing a different character. But then people would be complaining about GH’s bloated cast, so who knows, lol.

Unlike Molly Burnett’s Maxie … Nick Stabile did a really good job as the Prince. He has enough screen presence and suave demeanor to watch and enjoy. It helps he had Maura to act off too! Good job !! I am anxious to have Tyler back …. And Kirsten!!! All I do is ffwd thru this Claudette/Nathan crap. Hopefully when Kirsten returns she’ll get something better to do & with a worthy acting partner!

I think Nick Stabile did a great job playing Nicholas Cassadine..It would be nice to see him come to GH as another character.. really enjoyed watching him although I miss Tyler so much,and as others await his return

I’m very excited that Tyler Christopher is in and sad thatNic Stable isl leaving he did a very good job playin Nichols he make it his own .

I thought the Prince Nick replacement was excellent….but the Maxie one not so much.

I really love Tyler miss him a lot. I think that him and Ava have really good chemistry on stage presence. I really think the writers need to step up a notch bc the story line is starting to get boring. Step it up GH writers or you going to lose long time viewers.

HE DID A TERRIFIC JOB!!!!! HATE TO SEE HIM GO…

Nick would be great as a permanent replacement for Nickolas Cassadine!

I really love Nick Stabile and I am going to miss him. He’s a true talent . I’m not for adding to the cast. But get rid of the useless characters and create a role for him. He had me loving Nicholas again. As soon as Tyler returns back to hating Nicholas

I hate when a character is replaced with another actor. That being said, I was just getting used to the new Nicholas. His love scenes were more interesting than previous Nicholas. Just my opinion. Wasn’t sure I ever really liked the old Nicholas that much anyway. I’ve only been watching the show since last year. I started watching when I hear rumors of Sonny getting killed off. I used to watch him in another soap years ago with my grandmother. Anyway! Glad Sonny’s still around and looking better than ever… and yes, now I’m hooked 😉

Stability did a WONDERFUL job, and I must say he had a great way of portraying Nik! Will miss him and hope to see more of him…maybe they’ll bring him back as someone else later on?!

i didn’t buy Nick as the character. I longed for Tyler to return. Can’t wait to see his beautiful face!

Bottom line: Is Tyler Christopher coming back or not?

He did a nice job filling in but was definitely NOT Nikolas to me, only Tyler is Nik for me and I hope he returns soon but GH did a good job with the temp recasts for Nik and Maxie. I could see him as AJ Quartermaine back from the dead, easily though if this cast wasn’t already overly bloated.

I thought Nick Stabile did a fabulous job. I would love to see him in a permanent role on the show. His scenes with Ava (Maura West) were great. They have tremendous chemistry. Kudos to Nick. Hope to see you back soon.

I must admit, I enjoyed Nick Stabile ten times more in the role of Nikolas Cassadine; he made him more likable in the role. Never really been a Tyler Christopher fan but, that is what comes when you temporarily recast a role.

If GH can bring back Easton for 4 or 5 different roles then I think they should bring back Nick Stabile as AJ. He would make a perfect AJ. They brought back Carlos as a way to get Anna off the hook from being a murderer so bringing back AJ would allow the show’s second coming of Christ, Sonny Corinthos, off the hook for murdering AJ. It would also lesson – to a VERY small degree – the hypocrisy this garbage of a show throws at us every single day simply to primp this one-note Sonny character.

I readily admit to NEVER watching any episode where Sonny appears and reading the summary of yesterday’s episode, it sounds like it was one of the worst episodes ever.

I’m loving the “new” Ava. You can tell that Maura is energized. She’s reminding me of ATWT’s Carly. You get her out of the Sonny/mob crap and the actress and character flourishes. This should be a hint to the execs at GH and ABC that Sonny and the mob crap is weighing down this show!! End this nightmare so some of us can start watching GH 5 days a week rather then the two days we watch because we turn the channel as soon as the stuttering mobster hits our television screens!

Its funny because when Tyler fell out the window I thought that would have been a good place to have him off screen and have Valentin secretly kidnap him and when Tyler returned, reveal this. They went a different way and now it is Nick Stabile who fell out the window and I assume will live and Tyler will reprise the role. I am hoping Nick Stabile is rehired to pay someone else [Probably not on GH unless your name is Michael Easton!] or Y&R signs him on to play Luca’s brother who shows up in Genoa City to avenge his brother’s death!

He was good.. Love the way they had both of them fall out of the window.. .lol.. Looking forward to Tyler’s return…

I think Nick did a great job!! Kudo’s to him

As one who normally dislikes “replacements” I must say I instantly liked Nick. His acting was stellar and his Gerald Butler like looks were a plus! I could have embraced him as the “new” Nik easily.

Nicholas Sabile, has done a wonderful job, he has already got many of us calling the GH, hotline wanting more. Possibly another character. RH was cast twice, and ME, three times, why not make room for him. Get rid, of the old baggage like Amy, who adds nothing to the show. Never mind Valerie. He stepped in and did a great job, in the short while, he was our Nik.

I’m kind of bummed about Nick Stabile leaving GH. And, I’m EVEN LESS EXCITED about that Tyler Christopher dude returning to GH ‘whenever’.

Just saying……….

All I can say is that the original Nicholas better come back soon, just have him laying on, or holding on to the balcony below the others can rescue him as they escape! Just a thought…

To: Michael Fairman

Would you be allowed to do an interview with Stabile? I’d love to read one and have his thoughts playing Nik. Such as how long between being contacted and first tape day. How did he prepare? Who helped him around and helped him get used to things at the studio? Well, of course you know what to ask.

Thank you.

I was a bit turned off when I saw a new nickolis but this actor did a fantastic job.

Darn it! I really enjoyed this guy in the role. Talk about just stepping in and doing a fantastic job! Bravo!
If GH doesn’t snap this guy up as another character soon, I hope he gets on board with either Y&R or even B&B! Agreeing with other posters: this guy has screen presence!

I want to be fair: Today’s episode (Thursday, July 21) is the first one I’ve totally enjoyed in ages. Loved the Franco/Lucy/Scott stuff, liked the Naomi/Liz/Hayden stuff, and I even liked Jeffrey Parise’s new character! I hope the writers can keep this stuff going.

Does anyone know what is the status of TC?

Tyler who?

I’ve actually been enjoying the show, but I agree with you. I loved seeing Scotty…(I love the character and Kin)…Lucy, Rick..hope, but doubt, we’ll be seeing them regularly. Carlos’s twin? I’ll reserve judgment til the story unfolds…maybe the doc twin was killed and this is really Carlos!
