General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that the ABC soap’s latest cast addition is speaking out. GH offered tons of clues leading up to Nikolas Cassadine’s (Marcus Coloma) comeback, so most viewers probably weren’t surprised that Nik was behind the mask. However, the new actor playing the part was a well-guarded secret.
That’s tough to pull off these days since so many things tend to leak on social media, but it definitely provided a great Halloween surprise. Once the cat was out of the bag, Coloma could address his new role at last. He posted some pics on Instagram and thanked General Hospital fans, who were quick to give him a warm welcome.
There tends to be some resistance anytime a recast takes over, but it’s always nice when viewers can give the newbie a shot. Coloma at least deserves some kind comments to let him know the soap world isn’t too scary! Thankfully, he indeed got those and they really warmed his heart.
“Thank you for the welcoming comments, GH watchers,” Coloma said. “I’m excited to be a part of @generalhospitalabc…” Coloma later added a pic of an article confirming his GH debut. He said, “Excited to finally be able to [tell you] all about this, last one for the night…”
Coloma was also sweet enough to reply to fans who were congratulating him on the role. This recast is a big deal, so some congratulatory words were definitely in order! It’s been a while since Nikolas was seen on screen, which could help as we adjust to his brand-new face.
Although some viewers were hoping Tyler Christopher would reprise the part, Coloma gives off a strong Cassadine vibe and may do well if given the chance. Loads of GH fans were on the fence about Cynthia Watros as Nina Reeves initially, but she seems more accepted now.
After her emotional scenes by Sasha Gilmore’s (Sofia Mattsson) bedside at GH and the eventual wedding blowup, Watros truly made the role her own. Now she’s expertly giving us subtle signs of Nina’s manipulation of Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Sometimes General Hospital just has to deliver the right material for a recast to win fans over.
There are always going to be those that stick to their guns, but let’s hope Coloma wows us all with his talent!
