I’m PISSED OFF that they recast Nikolas Cassadine. My anger is just as raw today as it was then. Tyler Christopher is and always will be the only NIKOLAS CASSADINE.

Tyler Christopher has had a lot of personal problems, which is why it might never be likely that he will come back to portray Nikolas Cassadine.
However, I completely agree that Marcus Coloma is not cutting it at all as Nikolas. What I wish had happened, was Matt Trudeau ("new" Lucas; whose dropped storylines & screentime appear to prove that he was a miscast for that character) had become Nikolas, and Ryan Carnes had been kept on as Lucas Jones.
There were reports that he showed up drunk on the GH and DOOL sets. Apparently he was so drunk one time on GH that they had to fire him and quickly recast the role with Nick Stabile.
@JP80 That was prior to 2016
@Lillygrace83 true. But it’s wrong. Everyone deserves another chance. Plus they recast in secret while in talks with Tyler Christopher. Marcus Coloma will never be Nikolas Cassadine to me.
Unfortunately when an actor has substance abuse issues that they can't shake, production companies can't always bring them on due to insurance denials.
I 100% agree that Marcus Coloma isn't cutting it as Nikolas. He might be the right age, but he's too youthful in his looks - I don't buy him and Ava together at all. He also doesn't seem to emote the elegance and brooding aspect of the one "good" Cassadine - which is ironic because his character is on a dark turn right now, and still not truly pulling it off!
What do you think?
