‘General Hospital’ (GH) spoilers finds that while a lot of people have certainly enjoyed seeing Marcus Coloma as the new Nikolas Cassadine on ‘General Hospital’, there are certainly a lot of questions that need to be answered about his character. For starters, everyone wants to know why Nikolas has gone so dark and what’s in store for him next. Here’s what you need to know.
Back in 2016, Nikolas Cassadine proved that he was definitely one of the good guys when he signed over his inheritance to his Uncle Valentin in order to spare the lives of his loved ones. According to Marcus, it’s all much more complicated that you’d think.
‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Marcus Coloma Explains Nikolas’ Walk On The Dark Side
Speaking to ABC Soaps in Depth in a new interview, the handsome newcomer told the publication, “There’s such a Shakespearean feel to ‘General Hospital’, which I love. Hamlet’s fatal flaw was he didn’t act, and I think Nikolas’ fatal flaw was similar. He struggled with his conscience, and as a result, here was this very evil, corrupt man [in Valentin] who was basically threatening his entire world.”
With that said, the new Nikolas Cassadine is still testing the waters in Port Charles while trying to figure out who he can trust and who he needs to keep his distance from. “I’ve known people who come from very wealthy families or from the celebrity world,” explained the actor, “and it’s a very interesting thing to not know who actually cares about you and who is using you. Nikolas battled with that and died because of maybe being too trusting.” But as far as how ‘dark’ Nikolas will become remains to be seen. “That’s such a good question, and that will absolutely be revealed,” the actor teased. “I will tell you that Nikolas is definitely focused on payback… and as an actor, I’m looking for conflict!”
