When news first broke out about actor Marcus Coloma exiting General Hospital, we knew Nick’s time was coming to an end on General Hospital. Adam Huss stepped in just to take Nik to the end point. However, we assumed he would just fall off the canvas by skipping Port Charles. We did not think that he would be dead dead. Blood, corpse, all the bells, and whistles. If it came as such a shock to us, imagine how hard it will hit Spencer when he finds out the truth!
Spencer Thinks Nik Is On The Run
Spencer Cassadine is all set to pull double duty on General Hospital. He is elated by the birth of his little sibling and wants to double up as a big bro and father figure for the baby. Nik’s absence has led him to believe that his father has abandoned him and the baby. However, that isn’t the truth. Nik has not left town, and if at all he does, he will be leaving in a body bag. Because as much as we hate to say it, Nikolas Cassadine is dead on General Hospital.
One would assume that since Spencer has already severed all ties with Nik, it would not hit him as hard on General Hospital. But that isn’t true. It’s one thing to be upset with your father and not be on talking terms, but it’s entirely another to find out they have died with so much unresolved feelings and conflicts. Thus, Spencer will have to not only deal with the fact that Nik is dead, but he will also have to come to terms that he won’t ever get a chance to fix his relationship with his father. That won’t be an easy pill to swallow. Whoever breaks the news to him will have to do it with precaution. But who will take the onus of the daunting task?
Who Should Break The News Of Nik’s Death To Spencer On General Hospital?
Spencer is crashing in with his uncle, Sonny Corinthos at the moment on General Hospital. So one would think he would be the first one to talk to Spencer. But Sonny hated Nik’s guts. They were never on the same page and often at each other’s throats. Would Sonny be able to bring up the needed compassion to break such a news about a man he hated? Maybe, maybe not? Sonny may have hated Nik, but he cares about his nephew, Spencer, a lot. General Hospital spoilers hint that Sonny may surprise us with the gentleness he shows Spencer. But will it be while he breaks the news to him, or after someone else tells him?
The best person to tell Spencer the truth would be Laura Collins on General Hospital. She would be equally devastated about Nik’s death. Hence it will be easier for Spencer and Laura to deal with their common loss. Moreover, she cares so deeply for Spencer and always has him on his mind, so she would know how to handle him. She has experience of doing it before. Long-time viewers might remember that Nik was presumed dead once before, and Laura had broken the news to Spencer. However, this time the young Cassadine will be hit harder, and Nik may never return as he’s gone for good. Stay tuned to the upcoming episode of General Hospital to watch it all play out!
