‘General Hospital’ News: When Will Nick Stabile Take Over For Tyler Christopher As Nikolas Cassadine?

‘General Hospital’ spoilers revealed last month that Tyler Christopher is temporarily leaving the ABC soap opera, and actor Nick Stabile has joined the ‘GH’ cast and will be taking over as Nikolas Cassadine.  Although neither ‘GH’ nor Tyler Christopher confirmed the news or addressed that casting switch – word on the internet is that Christopher and TPTB are having a tough time with contract negotiations.

Obviously, right now is the absolute worst time for Tyler Christopher to not be filming, his character Nikolas Cassadine is caught up in a major storyline.  While Nik is believed to be dead, Jason (Billy Miller) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) are on a mission to prove otherwise.  Meanwhile, Ava Jerome (Maura West) found Nik on yesterday’s episode, and things are about to get VERY interesting.

So, when will Nick Stabile take over for Tyler Christopher as Nikolas Cassadine?  Well, according to Soaps.com’s exclusive spoilers, Stabile will begin airing on the ABC soap opera in “mid-June.”  Seeing as how we are smack dab in the middle of the month of June, that means any day now!

It’s unclear when/if Tyler Christopher will be back as Nikolas Cassadine on ‘General Hospital.’  But, we are seriously hoping that they get everything straightened out, ASAP.  We’re sure that Nick Stabile is a lovely actor, but i think we can all agree that it just won’t be the same without Tyler Christopher at the helm.
