Health Update: Former General Hospital Star Shares About the Dangerous Surgery He Just Underwent
Most recently, the former gh star shared the moment he had just undergone a dangerous heart surgery. It seems that he was successful. Fans all sent their best wishes to him.
Some wishes from fans:
Well what was it?? I was born with coarctation of the aorta…. Why do I feel like your condition is similar?? I’m glad you got checked out and “all fixed up” as my mom used to say to me. ♥️ prayers for continued recovery!
Glad to hear it’s handled and you’re gonna be great ❤️
That is great news. I am glad your PT told you something. I hope you are recovering well. ❤️🙏🏽
Oh Marcus!….. I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with all this but so thankful someone finally noticed. My husband had a similar event when he was in his 20-30’s.
Even after his father died suddenly, and very young….no one listened. Eventually his dentist!!! …. listened. He had open heart surgery to correct his abnormality and here he is at 65 healthy, happy…and living life.
I pray that your future is as bright as his…. (he met me!…. what else does he need! 😘) Miss you on GH. Love you and your music. W. (Canada) 😍
PREVIOUSLY: Marcus Coloma is leaving General Hospital at ABC after 3 years on the soap. The actor portrayed Nikolas Cassadine on the daytime program.
“Marcus Coloma will no longer be playing the role of Nikolas Cassadine. His last airdate will be at the end of January,” a representative for the show told Soap Opera Digest.
Daytime Confidential was the first to report the news of Coloma’s exit adding that the actor opted not to film his final scenes after he learned he had been cut.
Deadline has reached out to ABC for comment and will update when we hear back from them.
Coloma’s acting credits include Fox’s Point Pleasant as Father Tomas and played Matt Evans in South Beach.
He has appeared on several television series, including playing One Tree Hill and on the ABC Family show Make It or Break It, Lucifer, Major Crimes and False Profits.
The daytime soap star also played Hilary Duff’s love interest in Material Girls and he starred in Disney’s Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 and Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3.
Coloma had recently been absent from General Hospital after contracting Covid and actor Adam Huss stepped into the role of Nikolas Cassadine as Coloma recuperated.
The role of Nikolas Cassadine was originated by actor Tyler Christopher in 1996 and immediately became a fan favorite. Christopher played the character through 1999 and returned in 2003 before departing again in 2016.
Nikolas Cassadine is the grandson of Helena Cassadine, the role originated by Elizabeth Taylor in 1981. Nikolas has also been played by Coltin Scott (1999-2003), Chris Beetem (2005) and Nick Stabile (2016).
Marcus Coloma confirmed his exit from General Hospital after three years of portraying Nikolas Cassadine. His departure came with the news that the actor was not able to film his final scenes. Colomo’s final appearance is due at the end of January.
Deadline has now learned that Coloma and ABC came to an agreement “that he should not film the remaining few days of the year” following “health issues with his recent Covid exposure” that had kept him away from the soap set recently.
A spokesperson for the actor also rebutted rumors that Coloma was fired and walked off the set refusing to film his final scenes. Coloma signed a three-year contract back in 2019 with the network, which was fulfilled this year.
