What To Know About Nikolas's Recasting On General Hospital

Soap opera stars are subject to change, and Prince Nikolas Cassadine debuted in "General Hospital" way back in 1996. Incumbent Nikolas, Marcus Coloma, is far from the only actor to portray the role — in fact, he's the fifth guy to play the part. 

There's no word about the reason for Coloma's absence from the show, but when his replacement, Adam Huss, unexpectedly appeared in the role of Nikolas on the September 29 episode of "General Hospital," some viewers may have been worried that Coloma has left the show permanently. However, Huss recently confirmed on Instagram that the gig was only temporary. "Thanks for watching all!" he wrote. "Had a great time hopping in if only for a brief moment. Loved my experience there, super grateful @generalhospitalabc."

WIth that, it looks like Coloma's absence was only temporary, and he may very well have already resumed his Nikolas duties.
