According to Christopher, Nikolas is initially introduced as a "self-assured" teen who comes from money. While he immediately causes trouble, he is not a "villain" but he is "misguided" due to growing up without his parents. Christopher believed the character could go in any direction.[45] In his early years, Nikolas is very "conflicted" and has a certain "sneer" about him but a "sympathy" that can win anyone over.[46]

Christopher later voiced his frustrations with playing such a young character and consciously chose to develop Nikolas in more a young man with a "firmer grasp" on his life. He needs to be "more of a man, taking more control" Christopher said.[47] Christopher revealed that it was the character's "complexity" that initially drew him to the role. "Nikolas was sophisticated, and it took it in a different direction than they wanted." While the writers intended for Nikolas to be "stern, hardnosed" and unwilling to allow anyone in, Christopher made the choice to throw in some vulnerability for the character, whether he puts it on display or not.

Christopher wanted viewers to like the character despite his bad deeds. Unlike the actor, Nikolas is very "elegant," "refined," and "proper."[48] Nikolas is "the moody, teen-in-turmoil."[49] Robert Schork of Soap Opera Weekly describe Nikolas an "adolescent wise beyond his years" and an "old soul whose sophistication and maturity belie his youthful facade." Nikolas is not comfortable with his royal status at all, and it makes him feel out of place.[47]

Soap Opera Digest on Nikolas. (1996),

“All Greek heroes have a weakness. For Achilles--his heel. For Nikolas Cassadine, his legacy. As the son of Stavros Cassadine and Laura Spencer, Nikolas is both the pampered heir and abandoned son, Stefan's vengeful protégé and Laura's vulnerable little boy, Lesley Lu's savior and Luke's nemesis. With confidence, sensitivity and a youthful restlessness all his own. Tyler Baker reveals Nikolas' contradictory nature. As impressed are we now, we believe that Baker has just begun to scratch the surface of his talent -- and his storyline."[50]

Background[]

Laura had been kidnapped by Stavros as an act of revenge against Luke Spencer for the events that led to the death of his father Mikkos Cassadine. On one of these occasions she met Stavros' kind-hearted brother Stefan Cassadine and the two formed a close friendship. This friendship would soon turn romantic and when Laura discovered that she was pregnant, she hoped that he was the father. When the child was born he was named Nikolas, after Tsar Nicholas II. Laura desperately wanted a normal life for her son, not the life of a prince as head of the corrupt Cassadine family.

Laura was eventually able to escape the island with Stefan's help, who promised to look after Nikolas while she reunited with her husband Luke. Stavros pursued her, but appeared to die after falling down a flight of stairs. When Laura tried to secretly reclaim Nikolas, his grandmother Helena Cassadine murdered Laura's mother Lesley Webber. To protect her loved ones, Laura told no one about her son. Stefan took control of rearing Nikolas when he turned seven, and banished Helena from his life. As a child he was both happy and lonely, and he both loved his mother and resented her for being absent from his life.

Nikolas's son, Spencer

Nikolas has a son named Spencer Cassadine with his late ex-lover, Courtney Matthews. After Spencer was born on February 20, 2006, Courtney eventually died of encephalitis after an outbreak occurred. Jasper Jacks claimed to be Spencer's father and named him John Michael Jacks, but Robin learned the truth and revealed the news to Nikolas at "John's" baptism. Nikolas reunited with his son and renamed him Spencer.

In 2016, Nikolas is presumed dead after he was shot by Valentin Cassadine and had fallen out of a window at Cassadine Island, leaving Spencer fatherless. Valentin also disinherited Spencer, who was sent to boarding school even though Laura was his legal guardian. In 2019, Nikolas was revealed to be alive, but he remained hidden so he could find a codicil to Mikkos' will to prove that Valentin is not the rightful heir while returning the Cassadine fortune to both Nikolas and Spencer, the true heirs. Nikolas revealed himself to everyone in early 2020 and disinherited Valentin, but was forced to marry Ava Jerome.

On January 20, when Spencer learned that his father was alive, he was happy and relieved, but grew angry when he learned that Nikolas stayed away willingly. Spencer disowned Nikolas and stormed off, leaving Nikolas heartbroken. However, in August, Spencer forgave Nikolas and they conspired to make Ava feel guilty enough to divorce Nikolas without taking 90% of the Cassadine fortune.

In 2022, Nikolas had lost his son's love and respect after learning he slept with his ex-girlfriend Esme Prince, and got her pregnant, which also led to his and Ava's relationship being permanently destroyed. Ultimately, Nikolas only support is Elizabeth, his mother Laura, and to his regret his great-uncle Victor. On February 15, 2023, Esme gave birth to their son, Prince Ace Prince-Cassadine, with the help of his mother, his stepfather and Esme's uncle Dr. Kevin Collins, and paramedics, while Nikolas was presumed dead prior to the baby's birth due to Ava strucking him on the head during an argument. Nikolas was later found by Austin Gatlin-Holt's cousin Mason Gatlin and is currently being held in an unknown location for an unknown person, while he is on life support.

Storylines[]

NikLuckymeet

Nikolas and Lucky meet

Fifteen-year-old Nikolas first came to Port Charles after donating his bone marrow to his half-sister Lulu, who had been diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Nikolas had known growing up that he had a half-brother, Lucky, but was unaware that he had a little half-sister. He easily bonded with Lulu, though when he met Lucky there was instant animosity. Their early relationship was characterized by revealing family secrets in order to hurt one another. Lucky revealed that Helena killed Lesley, and after a heated argument, Nikolas fell down a flight of stairs and had to be hospitalized. Though Laura explained that Nikolas didn't have a place in her life anymore, he stayed in Port Charles and eventually became best friends with Emily Quartermaine, who began to develop romantic feelings for him.

Laura eventually learned that Lesley was alive, having been saved by Stefan from his mother's plot, and was in a catatonic state resulting from a complication from the drug he used to fake her death. When Laura went to visit her mother, the house they were in exploded and both were presumed killed. Most of the town blamed the Cassadines, and Nikolas's only allies were Emily, nurse Bobbie Spencer, and businesswoman Katherine Bell. When it was discovered that the explosion was a hoax to protect Lesley, the town turned against the Spencers. Stefan, who had married Bobbie, drove Laura out of town when he became convinced that she would continue to hurt Nikolas. Nikolas and Lucky worked through their animosity, and became friends. Laura returned to Port Charles determined to foster her relationship with her son, and the two bonded when it appeared that Lucky had perished in a fire.

Nikolas and his mother, Laura

It was revealed that Helena was actually holding Lucky hostage, and that Stavros was alive, having been cryogenically frozen by Helena to stave off death. When Helena was defeated and Stavros appeared to die again, Stefan deemed Nikolas ready to take on the mantle of the Cassadine Prince. Though his aunt Alexis Davis was there for him, Nikolas was plagued by insecurities after Stefan left for Europe. He second guessed any behavior that he felt resembled Stavros, and was devastated when Laura entered a catatonic state after the murder of her adoptive father Rick Webber. As a result of losing their mother, Lucky, Lulu and Nikolas became extremely close. Though Nikolas had romanced both Sarah Webber and Gia Campbell, his greatest love turned out to be his first friend Emily Quartermaine.

As Emily battled breast cancer, Nikolas became her most trusted confidant. As their feelings grew, Emily became torn between Nikolas and her first love Zander Smith. Believing she was dying, Emily married Zander as her last gift to him, though she eventually entered remission. Eventually Emily and Nikolas could no longer resist and slept with one another on the floor of the cottage Zander had bought for her. Witnessing their adultery started Zander on a downward spiral, and Emily ended their marriage. Zander went on to kidnap Emily, but was killed by the police. Stefan also interfered, but eventually committed suicide. When a car accident left Nikolas with amnesia, war widow Mary Bishop took him in, leaving Port Charles and Emily to believe he had died. Mary lied to Nikolas, telling him he was her late husband Connor, who looked just like Nikolas.

Emily eventually discovered the deception and carefully worked to unlock Nikolas' fragile mind. Finally remembering Emily, the two reconciled, causing Mary to breakdown at the second loss of her "husband." After she murdered several teens, Mary was shot and killed by Nikolas. To spare Emily the pain of a trial, Nikolas pled guilty to murder, and the two married him before he was sent to prison. Nikolas' doppelgänger Connor Bishop returned to town, and began romancing Emily on the orders of a very much alive Helena and as revenge for the death of his wife Mary. Connor eventually raped Emily, who emotionally retreated from her husband. The strain on the marriage became too much, and Nikolas began an affair with also unhappily married Courtney Matthews. While Courtney ended her marriage to Jasper Jacks, Emily and Nikolas divorced as well. When Courtney became pregnant, it was unclear if the father was Nikolas or Jax. When Jax learned that Nikolas was the father, he switched the results of a DNA test in order to protect Courtney and the baby from Helena.

After misinterpreting a close moment between Nikolas and Emily, a pregnant Courtney leaves town and is briefly abducted by Helena. After her escape, she returns to Port Charles in the middle of an encephalitis outbreak, and she and Nikolas both become ill. Because of her illness, a C-section was necessary to save the baby, which lead to her death. Jax claimed to be the father but within months, Robin revealed the truth to Nikolas at John's baptism. Nikolas renamed John to Spencer, honoring Lucky and Lulu. Nikolas hired an unstable nanny working for Helena. Helena was eventually able to gain control of the baby on December 21, 2006, and killed Colleen. Helena attempted to christen him as the next Cassadine heir, but Emily and Nikolas were able to thwart her. Nikolas eventually had Spencer baptized and name Emily as his godmother.

Nikolas and Emily continued their romance, and they attended a fundraiser at the Metro Court. They soon were soon held hostage with several of their friends when a team of mercenaries lead by a plastic surgery disguised Jerry Jacks attempted to rob the hotel's safe. They both helped care for an injured Robin, and Nikolas supported Emily when her father Alan Quartermaine died as a result of the incident. After the crisis had passed, Jerry, using the alias James Craig, injected Nikolas with an experimental poison in a bid to have Nikolas finance a new life for him with the Cassadine fortune. Robin discovered Jerry with Nikolas, and Jerry forced her to pretend she was involved with Nikolas. Though Nikolas had ended his relationship with her, Emily learned the truth and worked with Robin to save him. When Jerry's identity was revealed, he ended up giving Nikolas the antidote. As he recovered, Nikolas began exhibiting strange symptoms, including uncontrolled violence and anger, making him a possible suspect as the Text Message Killer, who harmed many of Port Charles's female residents. Emily was murdered in November 2007, shortly after the two got engaged at the Black and White Ball, honoring Alan.

Nikolas and his sister, Lulu

Nikolas began to befriend nurse Nadine Crowell, who was able to get Nikolas to admit his reluctance to treat his tumor was because the tumor allowed him to see "Emily". With Nadine's encouragement, Nikolas begins treatment while also hoping his hallucinations will lead him to the identity of Emily's killer. When he realizes that supposedly deceased mobster Diego Alcazar is the killer, the two fight and Diego is inadvertently killed when chains become wrapped around his neck. When Dr. Ian Devlin tells Nikolas he has an experimental drug that will allow him more time with his visions of Emily, Nikolas agrees to pay him ten million dollars. He also starts a program to allow patients without insurance to be treated at General Hospital, much to the pleasure of Emily's mother Dr. Monica Quartermaine.

Convinced that Emily would want this and for the sake of his son, Nikolas decides to go forward with the surgery that will remove his tumor and his visions of Emily. Emily visits one last time, leaving her engagement ring in his hand while he is in surgery. While working on a clinic dedicated to Emily, Nikolas romantic sparks begin to fly between Nikolas and his former nurse Nadine. The two share kisses, and even waltz at Wyndamere. Nikolas also finds him self attracted to Claudia Zacchara, who is stabbed by Jerry and eventually washes up on the shores of Spoon Island where Nikolas finds her.

The two bond and share a kiss, though Nikolas is taken aback when she reveals that she is responsible for the comatose state of Michael Corinthos, Carly's son with A.J. Quartermaine that mobster Sonny Corinthos had adopted. In order to avoid her being murdered, Nikolas agrees to keep her secret, though he also decides to keep his distance from her. When Nadine is nearly killed in a fire started by Jerry, Nikolas forces her to recuperate at Wyndamere and tells her he is starting to fall in love with her. The two eventually make love, though their relationship is tested when they must fake getting married to ease the last days of Nadine's dying aunt Raylene. After talking with Raylene, Nikolas admits to himself that though he cares for her, Nadine's feelings for him are much stronger than his for her.

Nikolas and Elizabeth have an affair

As the doctors begin to operate, the biotoxin is released into the air vents, incapacitating all of the members of the operating room staff and several guests at the gala.

Rebecca later turns out to be Emily's twin sister. Nikolas and Rebecca split up after she reveals she dated him for his money. He and Elizabeth begin an affair in July 2009. In January 2010, Lucky walks in on the two and severs his ties with Nikolas. Soon after, Elizabeth is revealed to be pregnant.

Elizabeth has a mental breakdown and was admitted to Shadybrook. Meanwhile, Helena had wormed her way back into Port Charles, intent on taking Elizabeth's baby and raising it as the Cassadine heir with Nikolas. Lucky kept Helena at bay for Elizabeth, and while it helped, Elizabeth pushes Nikolas away, thinking she and Lucky would get back together. Elizabeth had a paternity test done to determine the father of her baby. The results say that Nikolas is the father, but unknown to Nikolas or Elizabeth, Helena intercepted the results and had them switched, and Lucky is the father of Elizabeth's baby. Initially not able to cope with this information, Elizabeth eventually comes around to let Nikolas be a part of their child's life with the help of a terminal cancer patient named Shirley Smith, who befriends both Elizabeth and Nikolas.

Nikolas is determined to take an active role in his new child's life, and starts spending more time with Spencer to get ready for that. On July 9, 2010, Elizabeth walks up on Nikolas playing with Spencer. Nikolas is happy when Elizabeth asks him to be with her in the delivery when their child is born, and he accepts. They both acknowledge their mistakes in the affair, and decide to move on for the sake of their baby.

Elizabeth goes into labor a month early, and gives birth to a baby boy on July 19, 2010. They name the child Aiden Alexi Nikolossovich Cassadine. On July 20, 2010, Aiden goes missing, and Elizabeth, Nikolas, and Lucky initially suspect Helena, but then it's revealed that serial killer Franco has taken baby Aiden. Lucky manages to track down Aiden to Franco's mother, and returns him to Nikolas and Elizabeth. Though Elizabeth and Nikolas are able to get along, Nikolas realizes that it's not working out and calls Elizabeth's sister Sarah to get Elizabeth to come out to California to help her settle down. Elizabeth leaves soon after with her kids in tow. Meanwhile, Nikolas befriends Brook Lynn Quartermaine, who is kicked out of her old place after a scheme that went wrong. He hires her as an escort to accompany him on formal events and gives her a place to stay.

Elizabeth returns from California, and also starts to become more comfortable around Nikolas and Aiden. Meanwhile, Nikolas also becomes close to Brook Lynn, which surprises and upsets Elizabeth. They get into an argument over the issue, but before anything happens, Brook Lynn leaves town to pursue her music career, and Nikolas, in turn, lets her go.

Nikolas's relationship with Lucky and Lulu is distant, though not hostile, after the reveal of his affair with Elizabeth and Lucky subsequently bringing a kidnapped Aiden home. However, that changed on March 18, 2011, when Elizabeth and Lucky's son Jake is hit by a car and ends up in the E.R. Nikolas comes to the hospital to support Lucky, then later takes Aiden and Cameron back to his place when Jake dies while in surgery. Nikolas attends Jake's memorial and also helps Elizabeth out by taking care of the boys while she tries to deal with her grief. Meanwhile, Lucky marries Siobhan McKenna, a woman he recently met, to help her stay in the U.S. and Nikolas helps the couple celebrate by decorating Lucky's apartment so that they can enjoy a reception of their own.

Soon after, Lucky forgives Nikolas and lets him back into his life, letting Nikolas support him while he's dealing with loss of Jake and the fact that Luke was the one responsible for the hit-and-run. After Luke skips town amid belief from his family that he has an alcohol problem, Nikolas helps Lucky deal with this new revelation and come to terms with moving on with his life. When Lulu refuses to give up on her dad, Nikolas lends her money to buy her father's casino and bring Luke back.

Nikolas and his brother, Lucky

In June 2011, Lucky sets fire to the old Spencer house after his father turns his back on him. However, Siobhan shows up and, thinking Lucky is inside, goes into the building and is injured. Lucky is upset with himself for putting his wife in danger, and wants to start drinking again out of guilt. While he is pouring himself a drink, Elizabeth shows up and convinces him not to by revealing that he is Aiden's father, not Nikolas, and that she found out the night Jake died. When Elizabeth tells Nikolas this, he is outraged and refuses to believe Elizabeth, thinking she is trying to keep Lucky sober by lying to him and taking away his son. Lucky comes by soon after to convince Nikolas as well, but Nikolas still is trying to convince Lucky that Elizabeth is lying to him so he won't start drinking. When he realizes he's cornered, he packs up and decides to leave town with Spencer and Aiden so that he won't lose Aiden.

Nikolas stops by Emily's grave to say goodbye, and here, he changes his mind and brings Aiden back to Elizabeth and Lucky. He tells them that he is just going to ignite another war between the Spencers and Cassadines by taking Aiden away, and that's not what Emily would want. Nikolas believes that he's never got over losing Emily, and he needs to leave in order to deal with his grief. He leaves, though, on good terms with his brother, as they share a laugh over how Nikolas has always spoken perfect English without a Russian accent.

Nikolas goes to Switzerland with Spencer, but in July, he ends up at Cassadine Island, where he runs into Lulu, who's looking for her father with her boyfriend, Dante Falconeri. He's there to visit Helena, who's looking for him. When she asks about Aiden, he coldly tells her to never speak of him again. After Helena leaves, Nikolas asks Lulu why she is looking for Luke when it's clear he doesn't want to be found. He goes on to complain about how when he was revealed to be Laura's son, everyone was concerned about how Lucky would react, but no one cared about how he felt and it was always about what Lucky was feeling. He felt like he had to put Lucky first all his life, and he had to do it again when he gave up Aiden. Lulu realizes he's become emotionless like a Cassadine after he left town. He departs on the note that Lulu is determined to see the best in Luke like Laura did, and it ended up ruining their mother. When Helena comes upon him again, commenting on how much he is his father's son, Nikolas tells her that no one can control him now.

Valentin "kills" Nikolas

Nikolas and Ava were soon captured by Huxley Lynch, but they managed to escape. They were found in July on Cassadine Island by Jason and Sam, who knew all along that Nikolas faked his death. On July 11, after making out with him, Ava found out in Helena's diary that Nikolas had killed Helena by poisoning her tea. Dante, Lulu, Laura, and Kevin joined Nikolas, Ava, Jason, and Sam on Cassadine Island, but as they were all talking, Theo the fisherman walked in and took everyone hostage at gunpoint. On July 18, Theo revealed himself to be Valentin Cassadine, Nikolas' uncle and according to Helena, the most feared Cassadine. Valentin took Nikolas and Ava upstairs and forced Nikolas to give up all his fortune. As Valentin went to shoot Ava, Nikolas attacked him, but ended up getting shot and falling out the balcony. Nikolas was confirmed dead by Ava on July 22, though his body was never found.

Months after Nikolas was killed, it was revealed that he never really was the Cassadine heir. Valentin returned to Port Charles after being released by the Greek authorities. He revealed that he found the hidden will of his father Mikkos in Greece and it revealed that before he was killed he revised his will and made sure that the entire Cassadine Estate will be given to the eldest living son. Through the deaths of Stavros and Stefan, Valentin became the only living son and hence sole heir to the Cassadine Empire.

On July 16, 2019, Ava asked a professional psychic to try and make contact with Nikolas, wanting to make amends for preventing Valentin from going to prison for Nikolas' murder. However, the psychic's attempts prove unsuccessful and she reveals that Nikolas is not in the spirit world, meaning that he may not be dead.

On August 13, another psychic named Chelsea Lambas warned Laura that her son was in danger and Laura got worried and called Lucky, who was still in Africa. After Lucky assured Laura he was fine, Laura accused Chelsea of being a fraud, but Chelsea said she was referring to her other son, which seems to be another hint that Nikolas could be alive.

On August 26, it was later revealed that there is a codicil to Mikkos Cassadine's will which could prove that Valentin is not the rightful Cassadine heir, although it's unknown if Jax and Hayden are working with Spencer or a not-so-dead Nikolas.

Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) is alive! (2019)

On October 31, Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) was revealed to be alive and was the one who was watching Ava. He was also the mysterious Cassadine ring man who kidnapped Cassandra Pierce in August 2018. He appeared as a masked man at the Metro Court Halloween Party and after running into Laura, Nikolas followed Ava to her gallery, prompting Ava to draw her gun on him and force him to reveal his face. Nikolas then revealed his face to shock Ava.

On November 4, it was revealed that Nikolas revealed himself to Jax months ago and asked for his help to find the codicil to Mikkos' will which could disinherit Valentin and return the Cassadine estate to the rightful heir, Nikolas. In return, Nikolas had promised Jax the shipping division of Cassadine Industries and he also promised Hayden a generous cut of the Cassadine fortune if she helped Jax search for the codicil. Jax and Hayden were upset with Nikolas since he took a big risk on returning to Port Charles but Nikolas was confident that no one will know he is alive until Valentin is destroyed. Jax reluctantly agreed to let Nikolas stay at his new house until the codicil is found. The next day, Laura went to Jax's house and Nikolas wanted to reveal himself but at the same time he couldn't risk it because he wanted to protect her from Valentin.

On November 6, Cassandra called Nikolas from Pentonville and blackmailed him into helping her escape by that night or else she will give him up and blow his cover. Nikolas made a phone call saying that Cassandra has become a problem and told that person to take care of it. Nikolas later went to Rice Park in a white van and was waiting for Cassandra, who knocked out a guard with a shovel and got in the van. Nikolas told her to change clothes and when she did she noticed he wasn't taking her to the airport. Nikolas claimed they were going the back way to avoid detection and he also said that she was a means to an end and that their partnership is over since she chose to blackmail him and she became a liability. Cassandra realized he was never taking her to the airport and then escaped from the van which left Nikolas furious and scrambling. He called Jax and left a voicemail saying they have a problem before calling Detective Harrison Chase as an anonymous "concerned citizen" and was reporting Cassandra's whereabouts and claimed that he thought she had a gun.

When Nikolas got back to Jax's house, Jax confronted Nikolas about where he was and Nikolas confessed that he helped Cassandra escape from police custody. Jax was upset at him for being mixed up with her but Nikolas insisted that he had nothing to do with her drug operations but knew that she had useful information on Valentin. Jason later paid Jax a visit as Nikolas hid on the balcony and revealed that the card used to rent the van for Cassandra's escape came from J & J Jacks of Alaska and then after Jason left, Jax got really upset with Nikolas since Nikolas implicated him in Cassandra's escape. Nikolas didn't mean for that to happen but he can't change it and reminded him of what he had to gain when the codicil is located but Jax said he didn't need it since it was not worth it due to the mess they're in. Carly later came by as Nikolas hid on the balcony again and she wanted to know what was really going on. Jax said he was involved in something and when Carly questioned what it was, Nikolas walked in and revealed himself to Carly. Carly was surprised to see Nikolas alive and insisted that he tell his family, especially Laura but Nikolas said as much as he wants to he cannot do that until Valentin has been neutralized. After Nikolas leaves, Carly reluctantly agrees to stay quiet for the time being. Nikolas went down to the pier with a gun and was around the corner but Charlotte Cassadine spotted him.

The next day, Nikolas returned to Jax's house and Jax was upset that he kept leaving the house. Jax warned Nikolas that he was so close to blowing his cover and ordered him to stop leaving the house. Jax ranted about how Carly was forced to lie to Josslyn and Sonny and Nikolas said that she's a big girl and she can handle it. Commissioner Jordan Ashford paid Jax a visit and afterwards Nikolas left. Nikolas paid a visit to Wyndemere but was caught by Charlotte. Nikolas spun a story and claimed that he was hired by Valentin as Charlotte's secret bodyguard and that he wasn't supposed to reveal himself to her and if she told Valentin he would be fired. Nikolas pleaded with Charlotte for her not to tell Valentin she saw him and she reluctantly agreed. Valentin came in and took care of Charlotte and when she was out of the room, Nikolas almost whacked Valentin with a fire poker but stopped and stayed hidden when Hayden came in. He overheard Valentin offering Hayden a quarter of a million dollars in exchange for information on Helena's portrait and eventually resorted to threatening her. She agreed to his terms and was about to tell him but they were interrupted by Charlotte. Hayden quickly left as Valentin told her to give him the information on account to wire the money to. Nikolas snuck out of Wyndemere and called Hayden, asking her to meet him.

On November 26, Nikolas met with Hayden on the pier and he told her he overheard her conversation with Valentin and Hayden revealed that Valentin threatened her. Nikolas promised to help Hayden get out of the mess he got her into and suggested that she'd leave town but she didn't want to because of Violet. Nikolas revealed that it was hard for him not to reveal himself to Spencer but what made this situation bearable was that he knew that Spencer was safe. After Nikolas left, a man grabbed Hayden on the pier and Nikolas came back and fought him off in defense of Hayden. He insisted that Hayden should leave town because Valentin is very dangerous and said that it's not safe for her and Violet. Eventually, Hayden left town after saying goodbye to Violet. It was later revealed that Nikolas set the whole thing up to get Hayden to leave town.

On December 4, Nikolas went to Shadybrook and paid a nurse to drug Ava. When Ava was drugged, Nikolas walked in and convinced her that he was in hell and Kiki was there with him which made Ava very upset. Nikolas claimed that she can make amends and that he and Kiki can be at peace if she tells him where Helena's portrait was. Afterwards, Ava gave in and told him she had it at her gallery and begged him to help Kiki and he promised her he would. Eventually, Nikolas left and Ava was shaken up and an emotional wreck after his visit. Unbeknownst to Nikolas, he left his ring under Ava's bed.

Nikolas met with Jax who said he was cutting his losses and ending their partnership since he did not sign up for any of the damage their mission was causing. Nikolas confessed that he staged the incident with Hayden so that she would leave town and also confessed that he knows where Helena's portrait was. Afterwards, Nikolas wore a mask and gloves when he broke into Ava's gallery and was about to look for the portrait but Valentin pulled a gun on him and ordered him to reveal himself. Nikolas assaulted Valentin in self-defense and took off.

On December 9, Jax told Nikolas he was done and he ordered Nikolas to leave but eventually Nikolas learned that he lost his ring. Nikolas hid as Valentin came by Jax's house and offered to partner up with him to find the codicil but Jax said no. Valentin accused Jax of stealing his inheritance and was trying to take him down so he could have Nina all to himself. When he left, Nikolas asked if he still wanted him gone or if he wanted to help get rid of Valentin but Jax said to find the ring. Nikolas remembered that it came off after his visit with Ava at Shadybrook but did not know that Nina took it.

On December 13, Nikolas was on Pier 17 but was hidden while Valentin and Charlotte were there. Charlotte saw Nikolas and said she knew who he was since she saw a picture of him on her mom's phone and Nikolas claimed that her mom knew him since he saved her life one time. Valentin saw her and asked who she was talking to and Charlotte claimed she wasn't sure. Valentin told her that she cannot talk to strangers because it's dangerous and they left to meet Nina. Jax and Carly met with Nikolas and Carly figured out that Ava knows he is alive since his ring was found in her room at Shadybrook and that Ava had a breakthrough overnight. Jax got a text saying that Ava was auctioning Helena's portrait that night which would give Nikolas a chance to get the codicil.

On December 16, Nikolas stayed in the back room while the auction was happening and he was upset when Helena's portrait suddenly burst into flames. Eventually, Trina Robinson spotted him but she didn't see his face. Trina threatened to call the cops on him but he left before she could. Nikolas met with Jax on the pier and said that he was going to destroy Valentin despite the portrait and presumably the codicil being destroyed. Afterwards, Nikolas went back to the gallery and saw Ava aiming a gun at him. Ava confronted Nikolas about being alive all this time and demanded to know where he was for three years. Nikolas explained that he was pulled out of the water by a yacht crew and was recuperating in Athens. He explained that he learned there was a codicil that Mikkos left which returns the entire Cassadine estate to him and disinherits Valentin. Ava revealed to Nikolas that she has the codicil. She said she would give him the codicil because she wanted Spencer to get back everything that was rightfully his, but there were certain terms to be met.

On January 3, 2020, (New Year's Eve on the show) Nikolas rescued Ava from the water after Valentin pushed her off the terrace and he busted down the door into the living room, crashing Valentin and Nina's wedding. Curtis took Ava off of Nikolas' hands as everyone was looking at Nikolas in shock that he was alive. Laura and Lulu hugged Nikolas and shed tears of joy and relief that he was alive and eventually Nikolas confronted Valentin, revealing that he has the codicil and that he is not the rightful Cassadine heir. Valentin was smug and played it off as the codicil being a fake and that he is the rightful heir, but Nikolas also revealed that Valentin was not Mikkos' son after all, he was actually Helena's son which means he is not a Cassadine.

Valentin did not believe him and accused him of making it up and called him out on not facing him like a man, however Nikolas insisted that it was because since he is Helena's son, Mikkos made the codicil to make sure he never inherited the Cassadine estate and fortune. After their confrontation, Nikolas went with Laura, Lulu and Kevin into the trophy room and explained what happened to him. When he explained that after he fully recovered from his gunshot wound and that he was planning to disinherit Valentin and destroy him with Mikkos' codicil, Laura slapped him and reprimanded him for not coming home sooner and putting Spencer through grief which led to him trying to avenge his father's "death." Nikolas regretted his actions and said that even though he hated what he put everyone through, he did what he did for Spencer. Ava walked in and revealed that she and Nikolas were set to get married that night, much to everyone's surprise and dismay. Eventually, after objections from everyone, Nikolas and Ava were officially married in Wyndemere.

The next morning, Nikolas stood in Ava's room and he briefly held her at gunpoint, however he gave it back to her and asked for the codicil. Ava said the only way she'll give it to him is if she is by his side and he signs a post-nuptial agreement. He shared a reunion with Alexis who was happy to see him but she scolded him for what he did for the past three years. She was also shocked to learn that Nikolas and Ava were married.

On January 10, Nikolas went to see Elizabeth at the hospital who was happy that he was alive and well. Nikolas told her that he spent the last three years in Europe and was strategizing ways to take down Valentin. Elizabeth was shocked to learn that Nikolas married Ava Jerome and that he has been back in Port Charles since September 2019. She was a little upset that Nikolas didn't contact anyone during the four months he was back in town but understood that he was trying to make sure Valentin was neutralized. She told Nikolas that Hayden has a little girl named Violet and that she can come home now that Valentin is no longer a threat. Nikolas promised to do everything he can to bring Hayden home despite leaving out the fact that he caused Hayden to leave town for her own protection.

On January 20, Nikolas and Ava visited Spencer in France and when Nikolas revealed himself to be alive, he and Spencer shared a heartfelt hug. When Spencer asked where Nikolas had been, Nikolas revealed he was away plotting revenge on Valentin. Spencer grew angry that Nikolas willingly stayed away but Nikolas said he hated every second of being away from Spencer but he needed to find the codicil to take Valentin down from the shadows. Spencer yelled that he needed his father to be alive and that he could have come to see him without Valentin knowing the truth. Eventually Nikolas was disheartened when Spencer told him he was just as heartless as Valentin and demanded that he stays away from him. Eventually, Nikolas was heartbroken so he and Ava went back to Port Charles. On the way back home, Nikolas signed Ava's post-nup and they agreed to not cheat on each other despite having no desire to be together.

On January 30, Dr. Hamilton Finn confronted Nikolas about causing Hayden to leave Violet behind and said he was not going to get away with it, but they would deal with that later since his mom Laura had been shot. Jax eventually told Elizabeth that Nikolas was responsible for Hayden's disappearing act so she slapped him and told him off before ordering him to find Hayden and bring her home.

Later on, Nikolas visited his mom in her hospital room and he poured his heart out to her. He confesses that he feels guilty for staying away and letting everyone grieve for three years and said that he knows he was selfish and that without forgiveness he has no hope. Laura woke up and told Nikolas she will always love him and that she forgives him.

On May 4, Nikolas got a letter from Spencer which contained an ultimatum - Spencer would allow Nikolas back into his life if he divorced Ava. Nikolas told Ava and she thought it was good news, but she stood by the post-nup which led to an argument between them. Later on, after Nikolas talked to Laura and Kevin, Nikolas called Spencer to give him his answer.

On August 13, it was revealed that Nikolas and Spencer were working together to make Ava feel so guilty that she'll divorce Nikolas without taking any of the Cassadine fortune. On August 17, however, Nikolas and Spencer's scheme was blown out of the water when Ava overheard Lulu and her boyfriend, Dustin Phillips talking about it.

On September 15, Nikolas followed Ava to Sonny Corinthos's cabin where she and Avery were staying. When Nikolas snuck in, Ava hit in the back of the head with a fire poker. Nikolas and Ava had another argument but they grew closer and slept together. Afterwards, Nikolas spent time with Ava and Avery catching fireflies outside.

On September 22, Nikolas went down to the pier after he got a text from someone who sent a photo of Nikolas kissing Elizabeth. This person (later revealed to be Scott Baldwin) blackmailed Nikolas into giving him $125, 000. Unbeknownst to Nikolas, Scott blackmailed Ava for the same amount of money since he knows that she kissed Franco while he kissed Elizabeth. Unbeknownst to Nikolas and Ava, Franco and Elizabeth set the whole scheme up with Scott to get back at Nikolas and Ava for manipulating them.

On October 1, Ava received a collect call from Ryan Chamberlain at Pentonville. When Nikolas and Julian Jerome learned that Ava was talking to Ryan, Nikolas walked up to Ava and tried to take the phone from her but she stopped him. Ryan blackmailed Ava into paying him a visit at Pentonville and warned her about the consequences if she doesn't visit him. After the call ended, Nikolas and Julian pleaded with Ava not to go see Ryan. After Julian left, Nikolas reminded Ava on how sick and twisted Ryan was and told her that the only way to beat him is to not engage. Ava snapped at Nikolas and reminded him of the time he gaslighted her and used Kiki against her. Nikolas said she was right and that it makes him sick to think that he did that to her. He knows the pain that Ryan put her through and he deeply regretted his actions against her. Ava apologized for comparing him to Ryan and added that while she doesn't forgive him for using Kiki against her the way he did, she acknowledged that even on his worst day he's never been anything like Ryan Chamberlain. Nikolas asked if he didn't have to worry about her while claiming that not that he was worried and Ava said of course not. Nikolas left to go to a financial meeting.

Later on, while Ava was visiting Ryan, Nikolas stormed into the visiting area at Pentonville which led to him and Ava having an argument. Nikolas was genuinely concerned for Ava and wasn't wanting to leave her in the visiting room with a psychopath but Ava promised Nikolas that she was fine. She eventually convinced Nikolas to let her finish up her business with Ryan.

On Halloween (shown on October 29), Nikolas went to Charlie's Pub to talk to Julian. Nikolas offered to help Julian disappear and start a new life in order to help Ava. Nikolas rightly guessed that Ryan and Nelle Benson got pretty close in Pentonville and that she gave him incriminating leverage against Julian, but he didn't know exactly what it was that Julian did.

On November 4, Ryan was about to tell Sonny what Julian did but he ended up getting stabbed in the back before he could. Ryan was taken to GH and he fell into a coma.

On November 18, at Sonny Corinthos' house when Sonny, Nikolas and Ava were talking about Ryan getting stabbed in Pentonville, Nikolas lied and claimed that he's the one who arranged for Ryan to be stabbed.

On November 25, Lulu fell into a coma since she was injured when the Floating Rib was blown up by Julian under Cyrus Renault's orders to kill Jason Morgan. Nikolas stayed with the family and they were all worried about Lulu. Dr. Portia Robinson informed them that Lulu survived brain surgery but she's stuck in a coma that she may never wake up from.

On November 30, Ava went to the hospital to support Nikolas and his family. Nikolas updated Ava on Lulu's condition and she comforted him. Nikolas told Ava that he'll make arrangements to get Julian out of town but Ava told Nikolas that he has enough on his mind and to let her worry about her brother. On December 1, Nikolas and everyone else said goodbye to Lulu before she was taken to a Long-term care facility.

On December 3, Nikolas found Ava standing on the parapet at Wyndemere. He noticed that something was bothering her and they began to talk. Ava confessed to Nikolas that Julian was the one who blew up the Floating Rib but she had nothing to do with it. Nikolas believed her but grew angry that she hid Julian in Wyndemere and he wanted to know why. She told him the truth - that she didn't know the full extent of Julian's latest crime until it was too late. Once she learned the full extent of Julian blowing up the Floating Rib, she came back to Wyndemere to kill him herself, but Julian jumped off the parapet once Sonny and Jason got there. Ava confessed that when it came down to it, she chose Nikolas and confessed her feelings for him. When she asked if he'd accept her, he said yes and he hopes that she doesn't come to resent and regret her choice. Nikolas and Ava finally got together for real and their marriage became as real as it can get.

On December 11, Nikolas took Ava to the Metro Court on a date. He gave her the post-nup papers they signed and she initially snapped at him because she thought he was throwing the post-nup in her face, but Nikolas told her that he was giving them to her so they could destroy it. Ava was relieved and asked why didn't he say so before she tore up the post-nup papers. Nikolas then told her that there was one more thing standing between them before he took her to the hospital to see Ryan. Once they were there, Nikolas told Ava they were going to kill Ryan together, but they were interrupted.

On February 19, 2021, Nikolas and Ava were having dinner at the Port Charles Grill and he planned to give her a gift. When she got it, they were both surprised to see a roach encased in glass. Nikolas said that wasn't the present he got for her. Nikolas was able to give Ava her actual gift later on.

On April 6, after Nikolas assaulted his uncle, Cyrus Renault at Laura and Kevin's apartment, Cyrus blackmailed him into finding his mother, Florence Grey by threatening Alexis Davis (who was already serving a three year sentence at Pentonville) if he refused to cooperate.

On April 20, Nikolas was able to hire a former military member turned mercenary named Colonel Jackson into finding Florence for Cyrus. Colonel Jackson and a team of mercenaries were able to storm the location and successfully find her.

On June 21, after Ava's daughter, Avery received a teddy bear with Ryan's voice, she told Nikolas that she can't be with him anymore out of fear for her daughter's safety. Nikolas was heartbroken but he vowed that this wasn't the end.

On July 14, Nikolas was shocked to see Spencer was back from boarding school. Spencer and Nikolas shared a reunion and they seemed to be on better terms, but unbeknownst to Nikolas, Spencer was Ava's stalker.

In August, Nikolas found out that Spencer was the stalker, so he terrorized Spencer at Wyndemere when he held a rave with Trina Robinson, Cameron Webber and Josslyn Jacks. Nikolas was somehow able to convince Spencer over a phone call that Ryan was speaking to him before he pretended to stab Spencer. After Spencer learned that he wasn't actually injured, Nikolas revealed that he was behind the terror and wanted Spencer to own up to what he did, but he later learned that someone set fire to Ava's car so he realized that Spencer couldn't be the stalker. Spencer was furious and on the verge of tears so he furiously disowned Nikolas before he left the room, leaving Nikolas feeling guilty.

In September, Nikolas made amends with Spencer and met his girlfriend, Esme Prince before they moved into Wyndemere. On September 29, Nikolas (temporarily portrayed by Adam Huss) talked to Ava at Kelly's about their upcoming divorce. He told Ava that there's no need to get divorced since Sonny Corinthos, who was presumed dead back in December 2020, was alive and he could protect Avery. Ava didn't change her mind and still planned to leave town, so Nikolas decided she was right but he promised to find her stalker and asked her to wait for him.

On October 1, Nikolas (back to being portrayed by Marcus Coloma) was grabbed by Sonny's guards and was confronted by Sonny over supposedly planning to take Ava and Avery and running to Bora Bora, but he didn't know that Esme had tricked him. Spencer put an end to the confrontation and he finally confessed that he really was the stalker, which surprised Nikolas since Ava's car was torched. Spencer admitted that torching Ava's car was Esme's doing but he claimed that he asked her to do that. Sonny told Spencer that he was disappointed in him before he left with his guards and when Spencer asked if Nikolas could forgive him, Nikolas refused and angrily kicked Spencer out of Wyndemere.

On October 29, after word spread to Port Charles that Nikolas' supposedly dead great uncle, Victor Cassadine was alive and well, Nikolas revealed to Ava that it was Victor who found him and nursed him back to health in 2016 after Valentin shot him and in return, he let Victor have the Cassadine Compound in Crete, Greece. Later on, Nikolas met with Spencer on Pier 55 where Spencer confronted him about ordering a hit on Hayden Barnes back in 2015. Nikolas realized Spencer was wearing a wire so he forcefully managed to see for himself. Afterwards, Shawn Butler, who was released from Pentonville in July 2021, revealed himself to Nikolas and confronted him about ordering the hit and letting him take the fall in 2015. Nikolas was able to convince Shawn that he wasn't able to prove that he was responsible, so Shawn settled for a huge payout in order to move on.

On November 8, Nikolas was able to successfully pull some strings to grant Alexis a pardon so she was officially released from Spring Ridge.

On Thanksgiving Day (shown on December 1), Nikolas and Ava went to spend Thanksgiving at Alexis' house but were surprised when Victor showed up. They were even more surprised when Valentin revealed to everyone that Victor was his father.


On March 14, 2022, Nikolas came to Esme Prince's defense when he saw Carly Spencer grabbing her arm and when he heard Esme cry for help in front of him. Carly had confronted Esme over filming Josslyn Jacks and Cameron Webber sleeping together for the first time and uploading it to various websites, but Esme denied the accusations.

On March 30, Nikolas and Victor Cassadine learned that Esme disappeared from Charlie's Pub, so they were able to figure out that Sonny Corinthos ordered one of his men to bring her to him. When Esme heard Nikolas and Victor, she screamed for help and when they found her, Esme ran into Nikolas' arms. Nikolas reprimanded Sonny before he got Esme out of there while Victor confronted Sonny himself.

Later on, Nikolas and Esme went back to Charlie's Pub and Spencer Cassadine met them there. Nikolas eventually invited them to move into Wyndemere with him and Ava after Spencer asked if it was okay. While Spencer claimed that he was wanting to protect her from Sonny, it was later revealed that he was actually wanting to watch her so he could find some way to clear Trina Robinson's name since she was arrested for filming Cameron and Josslyn after Esme framed her.

Over the next few months, when Nikolas and Ava began having problems in their marriage due to him taking in Esme and Spencer without talking to her about it (she mainly had a problem with Esme since she framed Trina), Esme used their problems to her advantage and began to manipulate him, stroke his ego and seduce him.

On June 1, Esme and Nikolas slept together as Spencer and Ava went to find them. When Esme went out onto the terrace to remain hidden, Ava talked to Nikolas about wanting to fight for their marriage. Nikolas felt extremely guilty and started to confess but he decided not to tell her what he did.

In July, Esme was able to manipulate Nikolas into reinstating her internship at Spring Ridge by claiming that she wanted to come clean to Spencer and Ava. On July 28, after Esme planted seeds of doubt in Ava about her marriage to Nikolas, they went into a room where Nikolas finally confessed to Ava that he slept with Esme, leaving Ava furious. Ava called Nikolas a spineless weakling and vowed to burn his life to the ground.

Later on, Nikolas heard commotion up in one of the towers and he was stunned to see that Ava was on the parapet after she fought with Esme, who fell off the parapet by accident. After Ava told Nikolas what happened and that she needed to call the police, Nikolas told her not to and promised to protect her. Nikolas went down to the water to find Esme but he came back up to Ava and revealed to her that he found a shoe that belonged to her.

On August 26, after Ava and Nikolas argued about him sleeping with Esme, they saw a horrified Spencer overhear the conversation. Ava told Nikolas to talk to his son, so Nikolas confessed to sleeping with Esme. Spencer swore to Nikolas that he was done with him.

In October, Nikolas caught someone trying to break into his safe and was stunned to see it was Esme, alive, well and back. Esme revealed that she was pregnant with his child but Nikolas insisted that it wasn't his. Esme assured him that he's the only one she's been with. Nikolas threatened to call the cops but Esme tried to blackmail him into getting her an attorney to get her off the hook for her crimes by threatening to tell Ava about their unborn child. Nikolas seemed to agree so he led her up to the north tower and locked her in a room, catching her off-guard.

In November, Nikolas ended up roping Elizabeth Baldwin into giving Esme medical care until the baby was born. Elizabeth relented but was appalled by how far Nikolas was going to go. However, since Hamilton Finn found a bottle of prenatal vitamins after confronting Nikolas, Elizabeth led him and everyone to believe that she and Nikolas slept together and was pregnant with his child, but later claimed to have miscarried.

On New Year's Eve, Esme managed to escape from Wyndemere after her room caught on fire. She was later found on the Haunted Star by Spencer and Trina who took her to the hospital since she had hypothermia. Nikolas and everyone learned that Esme had been found and taken to the hospital, but when they found out she was pregnant, Ava confronted Nikolas about it. After Nikolas admitted that it was, Ava slapped him. After Det. Dante Falconeri interrogated Esme, everyone learned that she was claiming to have amnesia. Spencer didn't believe it and thought it was all an act, but Kevin Collins seemed to confirm it.

On January 31, 2023, Nikolas visited Esme at Spring Ridge where Esme was being held until trial and tried to get her to sign away her parental rights. He also had Elizabeth's mother, Carolyn Webber program Esme and make sure she never remembered being held in the tower but she refused when learning that Esme had dissociative amnesia and was pregnant.

On February 2, Spencer revealed that he was suing for full custody of his half-brother. Nikolas was appalled and Laura tried to play peacemaker. When Spencer used Nikolas' false confession of killing Esme against him, Nikolas angrily assaulted him and called him a Cassadine. Nikolas later went to Wyndemere to confront Ava and he was angry that she turned Spencer against him. During the confrontation, Nikolas revealed that he never slept with Elizabeth and Ava wondered why he let her think the worst of him. He revealed that he held Esme hostage in the north tower for a couple months. Eventually Nikolas threatened to take Avery away from Ava so she grabbed a statue and hit Nikolas over the head which knocked him out.

Ava was horrified because she believed she killed Nikolas by accident. When she moved his body to the stables, she was caught by Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt. Austin promised not to tell anyone what Ava was doing and offered to help her cover up Nikolas' "death".

On March 1, however, Nikolas' body was revealed to be missing from the tack room she and Austin put him in because Austin's cousin, Mason Gatlin was seen watching over a comatose Nikolas in a medical facility on life support.

On August 31, Nikolas is shown be awake and able, and hiding out at Austin Gatlin-Holt's Country House in Pautauk, NY.
