General Hospital comings and goings see Britt Westbourne exits after a fatal run-in with The Hook Killer. And her death shakes Port Charles. Also, the fate of a fan-fave character is up in the air on GH. Check out the latest casting changes for the ABC sudser.

General Hospital Comings & Goings: Britt Westbourne Dead & Gone as Latest Hook Killer Victim

The Hook Killer just claimed the life of Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) on General Hospital. She was on the docks after her spectacular birthday party. In order to prevent her loved ones from witnessing her Huntington’s-related health deterioration, Britt intended to depart Port Charles.

Britt later had a change of heart after rescuing Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) from The Hook Killer. According to General Hospital recaps, she instead went back to The Haunted Star to be with her mother Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati).

Britt afterwards learned that she had not managed to escape the murderer unscathed. Instead, the hook only gave her a minor cut, and the venom killed her. Britt sadly passed away in her mother’s arms before aid could reach her.

The devastating news of Britt Westbourne’s passing is still making its way through Port Chuck. especially Brad Cooper, her best friend (Parry Shen). Additionally, Nina Reeves’ relatives, Maxie Jones, and Cynthia Watros (Kirsten Storms).

Fans of General Hospital may be sad to see Britt go, but Kelly Thiebaud, who played her, thought it was the correct decision. It broke her heart to quit GH since she enjoyed being a part of it. However, it takes a lot of dedication and effort to work on the ABC soap drama full-time.

Kelly also wants to work on other things, like theater and cinema. Additionally, she wants to be closer to the person she is dating. Therefore, Kelly’s exit from the program as Britt at this point was appropriate. But she will be sorely missed by viewers.

GH Casting News: Marcus Coloma Out as Nikolas Cassadine

New General Hospital casting updates confirm Marcus Coloma is set to exit as brooding prince Nikolas Cassadine at the end of January. He was recently let go and declined to film his final scenes due to health issues. It’s still unclear if he will be written off or recast.

So I just saw a post Marcus Coloma aka Nik got fired & /or unfollowed GH cast members. Look, I appreciated him in the beginning but his version of Nikolas became unauthentic n so many ways. I’m so here 4 Tyler Christopher return if he chooses. I also wouldn’t mind Stephen M #gh pic.twitter.com/mEr9CDrYhU

He is currently mired in drama. He is carrying a child inside Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl). Ava Jerome, his soon-to-be ex-wife, is also seeking retribution (Maura West).

And if he defies his terrible uncle Victor Cassadine, his life is in danger (Charles Shaughnessy). There is a lot going on with the dark prince, in fact. Therefore, the General Hospital showrunners can decide to change the actors.

Nikolas Recast Coming on General Hospital?

Nikolas may be getting replaced, according to recent GH spoilers and casting news. Fans naturally want Tyler Christopher, the original Nik, to return in the part. There are alternative possibilities, though, if that is not possible.

On General Hospital recently, Adam Huss filled in for Marcus twice. And fans responded favorably to him. Nick Stabile and Stephen Martines both performed the role of Nikolas in the past. The decision-makers so have a few options.

Additionally, they always had the option to replace him or kill him off completely. GH has several unexpected turns. Watch the ABC sudser to find out what happens to Nik as Britt Westbourne’s passing affects her loved ones.
