Despite Marcus Coloma’s character, Nikolas Cassadine, currently being a major player on “General Hospital,” the actor is reportedly leaving the series. Soap Hub reports Coloma is officially out as the Cassadine prince, creating a significant loss in the midst of a major storyline. Speculation began running rampant on social media after fans noticed Coloma had unfollowed all of his costars. One viewer shared: “Word on the Twitter streets is that Marcus Coloma got fired. Also that he unfollowed everyone from the show. He is now only following these two accounts. There was a breakup, folks.”
However, the most shocking aspect of Coloma’s reported firing from “GH” is something viewers typically don’t see during an exit. According to Daytime Confidential, per their inside sources, Coloma’s final scenes as Nikolas won’t actually feature the departing actor. Coloma allegedly refused to film any of his final scenes in defiance of being dropped from the long-running soap.
Soap Hub claimed Coloma’s final episodes will air in late January but fans are unlikely to get a sense of closure for his version of the character regardless. Thankfully, “General Hospital” proved earlier this year that they can quickly find someone to fill in for the role. During Coloma’s tough bout with COVID-19, Adam Huss stepped into the part, going to war against Evil Esme.
