When Marcus Coloma suddenly unfollowed everyone on social media last week, including his fellow castmates, fans began questioning what might be happening behind the scenes with the “General Hospital” actor. Now comes word that Coloma has been let go as Nikolas Cassadine on the daytime drama series.
According to a report by Daytime Confidential, despite being involved in several front burner storylines, Coloma’s time on the soap has ended, and the actor “declined to film his final scenes after learning he’d been let go.”
Joining the soap in 2019 as the third contract player to take on the role of the gothic prince, Coloma made his television acting debut in the MTV series “Undressed.” He later had recurring roles in such shows as “All About Us,” “Point Pleasant” and “Make It or Break It,” among others. In 2006, he starred in UPN’s “South Beach” alongside singer/actress Vanessa Williams. Coloma appeared in the films “Material Girls” starring Hilary Duff and Haylie Duff, “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2” and “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta!”
At press time, Coloma has not commented on his reported exit.
As its policy, ABC does not comment on actor contracts.
