General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) needs a way forward. GH fans know Nikolas has been slapped, berated, disowned and dragged through the mud in every way possible. Although Nik deserved most of the backlash, this can’t be how it is forever.
It’s one thing for Nikolas to be the town pariah. It’s quite another for every scene to be about what a horrible human Nik is. At some point, General Hospital will have to move on and give Nikolas more storylines than just getting blasted. They also need a strategy to make Nik a more sympathetic character.
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) certainly didn’t have any sympathy for Nikolas, who’s upset about Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicolas Bechtel) hatred for him. Nik feels that everything he did was for Spencer’s sake, but Spencer feels like his father put revenge before his own son.
Nikolas’ desire to make Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) pay became the priority.
Sonny’s quite close to Spencer and is naturally taking his side. Of course, Sonny doesn’t like the fact that Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) was dragged into this either. Although Nikolas tried to apologize for that, it’s clear that Nik could use a way to make things right.
There’s a chance Nikolas will kill Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), which would definitely help Sonny out. General Hospital has offered some clues that Nik may be mixed up in all the Cyrus business, so that’s one way they could take all this. However, it’s also possible a plan like that could go horribly wrong.
Spencer’s furious about Nik letting his son believe he was dead. What happens if Nikolas faces another near-death experience? Now that GH is putting Nik in Sonny’s orbit, it makes this potential Cyrus showdown more likely.
If Nik and Cyrus had a mutual connection in Cassandra Pierce (Jessica Tuck), Cyrus may already be threatening Spencer and Nik’s other family members.
Nikolas was quite worried for Laura Collins (Genie Francis) when he got updates on Cyrus’ release. It felt like a big reaction – bigger than Nik should’ve had if this had just been about the shootout.
Regardless, all of Port Charles is in danger with Cyrus around. There’s the potential for Nikolas to get caught in it and find himself clinging to life.
Will Nikolas get shot and nearly killed? Would almost losing Nik for real prompt a change of heart in Spencer? It seems like it would convince Spencer to forgive Nikolas.
There’s also Ava Jerome (Maura West), who might realize she has genuine feelings for her new husband. A lot of good stuff could come from the aftermath of a terrifying attack on Nik.
