General Hospital star Marcus Coloma recently opened up about his on-screen alter ego, NIkolas Cassadine. Here’s what he has to say!
General Hospital Spoilers: Marcus Coloma Opens Up About Being Nikolas
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Nikolas gave a little insight into what makes his character tick. When asked who is more intimidated by Sonny Corinthos – Nikolas or himself- he said, “Oh, that’s hilarious. I don’t think either one of us is! There is a reckless side to Nikolas, and obviously Sonny is a mob boss and physically, Sonny has proven that he can handle Nikolas. Still, I think there is zero intimidation because Nikolas is just like, ‘I will die before I let you intimidate me!’ And as Marcus, I just absolutely love Maurice [Benard, Sonny].”
When asked who is more of a romantic, Marcus said, “I think Nikolas. Yeah. I tend to be very loving in a relationship, but what I love about Nikolas is that he will do these incredibly romantic gestures — he’ll set up a romantic evening with dinner and candles and a whole spread. And I don’t necessarily do that.”
And believe it or not, Nikolas isn’t someone you would call the life at the party. Marcus said, “I think I would be more fun at a party. I think with Nikolas, you would always have to be like, ‘Is this guy going to try to kill me?’ There’s always an ulterior motive and a hidden agenda. He’s got a very twisted take on life.”

But he did add that Nikolas does have a worse temper. “It’s because he has so much stress in his personal life. And I actually do feel that when I’m in a heavy storyline. Nikolas is very emotionally volatile.”
Also, Marcus added that he’s not too crazy about Nikolas’ living arrangements. “I don’t have a moat, but Wyndemere is so dark, I don’t think I’d actually want to live there. The place is so dark and not much light, fun stuff has happened there. I have a much smaller, modest place, but it’s very light and bright and there’s a lot of creative energy in the place. But if the question is cooler, I guess Wyndemere wins. But it seems like a very dangerous place to live!”
