General Hospital Spoilers: Adam Huss Researched Tyler Christopher
Adam says that when he got the phone call to return to the soap back in September 2023, he was beyond excited. He also told the publication that watching old clips of Nikolas Cassadine has inspired him to create a new take on the character. Huss put it this way, “I’ve deep-dived into the research of who who is and what Tyler Christopher. He originated Nikolas and he was my vision of Nikolas when I was a kid and saw him on the cover of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands. And so that is my version of Nikolas [to take inspiration from], and I know it’s a lot of fans’ versions. No matter what, in any show or movie, when someone originates a character, it’s hard to replace them.”
The actor continued, “He’s a complicated human being and Tyler did a great job of creating a real person there with all this fun other stuff that you get to play. So, to deep-dive into all that really helped me understand him more and, and the more I get to play and create when I’m on set, the more exciting it is for me. I think you’ll get to [these additional layers] in some of these scenes coming up.”
Huss also added that he has a lot of respect for all of the fans out there who put in so much work to archive Tyler Christopher’s legacy on General Hospital. He said, “When I get a character to play, as an actor, I write back stories — I sit there and write a whole origin story that I make it up in my head as I go along. Here, I have access to a real back story! All I need to do is search on YouTube whenever I’m interacting with [a new character] or whatever is going on, there is it is, scene upon scene upon scene! It’s amazing.”
