General Hospital Clip: Nikolas is Gone and That's The Painful Truth

[@katherinejordan8018]

Oh man! I was so excited Nikolas was back and then so disappointed it wasn't the real Nikolas. Ugh!

[@intellisquid]

I didn't watch when the old Nikolas was on, so I am not really an authority on this but I'm just saying I'm not sure how I feel about the new guy. He's been in a ton of stuff though, like a really long list of shows.

[@kittybratton3657]

Join the crowd,it would have been easier to accept a new,unknown cassadine,then buy this fake recast! Hate when they do this,all the promos showed Tyler,like it was a done deal.

[@MsDanilea]

No he is Nicholas

[@water7apple]

Laura and Ava look good in this scene. Kudos to the makeup artist that day.

[@intellisquid]

Yes! This was honestly the first time I've seen Laura's hair up actually. lol.

[@kittybratton3657]

Full paint jobs...

Since her days on As The World Turns Maura West hair has always been on point and fabulous!!

One word beautiful.

Why is Ava so amazing?! ❤️

[@doriangz]

Two words for you: Maura. West.

[@callynt]

@@doriangz Yep!

[@intellisquid]

Because....sometimes... miracles do happen. Maura West is indescribably good. And, when they write interesting stuff for Ava, I don't care necessarily if she's doing good(ish) things or wicked things, because MW can still take any material and make her into a sympathetic character. As far as past screwups, Y&R brought her on to play Diane Jenkins -- I was ecstatic until they let her go a bit later because (and I forget the direct quote) she wasn't really growing into the role or something. A) They didn't give her much time, and B) she rocked Diane Jenkins, but they gave her crap material. There was a scene where, shortly after she came back to town, she was turned down for an architectural job and was later in the restaurant or coffee shop talking to herself like "No job...no prospects...Ok...what do I do?" So, to me, that was Y&R producers or casters or writers just not knowing or paying attention to what they were doing. Sorry to rant but there's no way DIANE Diane would shrink in a corner and lament like that without already having a plan crafted, whether it was during Alex Donnelley's time or Susan Walters. As for your question, I agree with the other posters. Ava's amazing because Maura West, though I will give the GH writers credit for writing stuff at MW's level.

Because Maura West is playing her.

@@doriangz dam right.

[@doriangz]

That actor looks like an exact mix of Tyler C. and Nick S. It is weird.

[@beegee1960]

He looks a little young for the role.

[@kristagerry8505]

He actually looks a lot like Colton Scott(aka Stephen Martinez ) who played Nikolas Cassadine for about 3 yrs starting in 1999!

[@ivana92ify]

He was a good pick. I'm happy with it.

[@alyssawork3815]

I wish that it was Tyler Christopher that had returned to play the part but I'm super excited that Nikolas' character is finally being brought back to GH; even if Tyler isn't on screen (fingers still crossed for a return). I'd love to see a Spencer reunion. I just hope it doesn't take as long as it did when Robin returned.

[@allencollins1617]

It Shouldn't. Robin Was Held Captive, Nikolas Isn't/Isn't Anymore/Wasn't.

[@ivana92ify]

I think they are going to bring Spencer back and age him. It was hinted when Valentine said he was a young adult and not a child anymore. It makes sense because he was born 3 years before Josslyn and somehow he was still a kid while she's a teen. Same goes for Jake, they're aging him too slow and messing with history. Even Scout looks like she's 7 years old and was born 2 years ago.

@Travoice Marshall Laura being the mayor can make sure that it does. Valentin needs to suffer just like Valentin made lulu And Laura And Spencer suffer by believing nikolas was dead

[@calhounsista6491]

I have been saying from the beginning that Nicholas was alive. Because his so called second death was just too similar to his first "fake" death. Also they also did not find a body. Except, in Nicholas's second death, we get introduced to the long lost, nobody knew about, out of the blue, NEW Cassidine called, Valentine. I have said from the beginning, Valentine and Nicholas were working together from the beginning to fake Nicholas's second fake death. Remember Nicholas had turned into "straight evil Cassidine" the last 2 years before he left.

[@JiraiyaSama86]

He sure has the stoic, calculating expression down, and the mannerisms. Can’t wait to see his portrayal.

[@rxtf]

Why isn't Jordyn or Curtis in the opening, are we dubbing the black actors again?

@Moddie Seven I totally agree. I enjoy seeing Molly and TJ together. Molly is a hoot!! Jordan has no room to talk or judge. This woman barely raised her own son and slept with her husband's best friend, got pregnant aged never told the best friend TJ was his. Jordan has nerves I'm sorry ..I just don't like her.

I would like to see Nicholas meet a new love than to be with Ava. Elizabeth and he are old friends, and he's Lucky's brother. I would like to see Jason and Elizabeth get back together, and for Sam to be wrote out of the story. I'm sick of her character.

[@ashnahashan1245]

@Travoice Marshall - And speaking of Nina! I know they could have done better than that. Imagine her without any makeup! 🐮😄 she's not attractive at all to me. Jack may end up with Nina. Then if that happens, they may bring Brenda back, then Sonny would probably get back involved, then Carley would start acting a fool. Well, since Jack lied at first after Courtney died, saying Spencer was his son; although he had named him John. I'm happy that name "John" didn't stick! When Nicholas got his son back, he renamed him Spencer. I would rather see Nicholas and Courtney get back together, and she's Spencer's mom, too. I know Spencer would want both his parents back together. You do know Courtney was Sonny's sister?Emily would be my second choice. But, please not Ava!

This is ridiculous. Nikolas should be stalking Elizabeth, his best friend,the one woman he loved more than Emily and NOT Ava, the woman he met for two seconds!

[@9000sharpay]

Come on, guys! It's just like Jason. Jason was too much of a hit to stay dead. They'll eventually also have to recast Lucky again. And I won't mind it. Lucky has been away from GH for too long. I would love to see him return soon. Finding out his presumed-dead brother is still alive, should bring him back to Port Charles.

[@angelamackay8419]

I liked billy but as drew I even like him with same more then Jason but recasting Jason was a bad idea and Jonathan hs been the best lucky in my opinion and I stand by what I sad about nick they tried too many times none took I understand it’s a business but they spend years making fans love these characters with certain actors how they ply then something new one just don’t play them I was actually surprised Laura did a great job as Carly I will give this guy a chance did as I did what his face who now plays on days that was lucky but I doubt he will do as great a job just my opinion from someone who watch for almost 4 decades back when Laura got back from the dead

[@anaann1038]

Ok he is to young for the role and the ava pairing , I all give him a chance but he needs to be more dark not so funny

[@mooki33]

The actor is 41 with good genes because he looks too young. He could pass for late 20s early 30s. I hope he can act but physically, he doesn't look right for the part.
