NIKOLAS CASSADINE'S HISTORY
Considered a prince, Nicholas stands next in line for the Cassadine throne, and had vowed hatred for his mother, Laura, for leaving him. After Luke Spencer killed Stavros Cassadine, Nikolas was raised by his Uncle Stefan, whom he considered his real father. Nikolas was brought to Port Charles by Steven to save Nikolas' half-sister�s life. Lulu had a rare anemia, and he was the perfect marrow match.
With Nikolas' identity revealed, Luke forced Laura to choose, and she again abandoned her son. Nikolas, hurt for a second time by his mother, sought friendship with Bobbie Spencer, who later married Stefan. The friendship lasted until Bobbie betrayed her husband and Nikolas found out about it.
Katherine Bell came to Wyndemere Castle looking for an ideal spot to take photographs for her business, Deception Cosmetics. She and Nikolas built a friendship that led to her being shot. Nikolas wrongfully accused Luke, not knowing that Stefan was the assailant. It seemed that anytime happiness loomed on the horizon, someone in the Cassadine clan attempted murder to prevent it.
Although Nikolas remained estranged from his mother, he stayed close to his grandmother and sister. His relationship with his half-brother, Lucky, was stressed because they were both interested in the same person, Sarah Webber. Lucky was the loser, but eventually ended up with Elizabeth Webber.
When Nikolas took a bullet meant for Jason Morgan, he had to undergo speech therapy to learn to speak again. He was attracted to Robin Scorpio, as she helped him through his recovery, but she was involved with Jason. In the meantime, Stefan and Katherine announced their engagement, and Nikolas was happy, thinking they made a good pair. On the eve of their engagement party, Katherine supposedly fell to her death, and it was that night that Nikolas overheard a conversation between Laura and Stefan, in which it was stated that Stefan not Stavros had fathered him. Shocked at first, he later accepted the news, glad to be unburdened by his role as �prince�.
Katherine resurfaced, and she and Nikolas became an item. When she announced she was pregnant, they planned to marry, but unfortunately, this time her death was real, as Helena pushed her off a cliff. Nikolas� evil grandmother didn�t feel that Katherine was worthy of her grandson. Nikolas suspected his mother, but later learned the truth. He also discovered that Katherine was playing him, as she couldn�t have been pregnant. Medical records revealed she was incapable of conception.
When Lucky was reported killed in a fire, Nikolas consoled Elizabeth. His attraction to her was strong, but out of respect for his brother, he held his feelings at bay. Hearing that Lucky might still live, Liz and Nik traveled to New York where they found him brainwashed by Helena. He later recovered with the help of psychotherapy.
Nikolas' life took another turn when he found that he had really been fathered by Stravos Cassadine. He met his father face-to-face in Helena�s lab, where the two evildoers were plotting to freeze the world. The man who had been masquerading as Lucien Cane met his demise at the hands of Luke Spencer, and once again, Nikolas was the Cassadine Prince.
Elizabeth, Lucky, Emily and Nikolas were fast friends, and after his romance with Gia Campbell ended, his attention turned to Emily. Although she was involved with Zander Smith, Nik supported her through her breast cancer battle and saw her marry Zander. When Emily drifted off to sleep, dreaming of her wedding, it was Nikolas she kissed.
Nikolas was believed dead in the Port Charles Hotel fire, but turned up alive, was convinced by Mary Bishop that he was her dead husband, Connor, and had to have hypnotherapy to help him regain his identity. Once Mary was out of the picture, her �dead� husband turned up and raped Emily. Poor Nikolas was left reeling because he and Connor were mirror images and Emily couldn�t bare to have Nikolas touch her after her horrifying experience.
Helena continued to plague anyone romantically involved with her grandson. Emily and Nikolas finally got together after Zander�s death, but her life was constantly in jeopardy. The same applied to Courtney, during a rift between Nik and Emily. When Courtney died giving birth to a child, Jax claimed paternity and snatched the baby from Nikolas� grasp. Emily had turned to Sonny Corinthos, but that relationship didn�t last because of brother, Jason�s, objections to the dangerous life-style.
When Nikolas learned that he was the true father of Courtney�s child, he won custody, but Helena�s continued interference brought an evil nanny into the picture to be caretaker for the future Cassadine heir. As Emily and Nikolas found themselves being drawn back together, Emily sensed danger and tried to warn him, but he paid no heed. Mysteriously, the nanny resigned, giving them a false sense of security. As the two once again start their life together, Helena lingers in the shadows, posing a threat to their happiness.

Thursday, December 04 2008: GH is Starting to Feel Like The Wedding Channel!
Down on the farm somewhere, Nadine apologizes to Nik for putting him on the spot. He tells her that it's not her fault. She says that's not entirely true because she hasn't been able to bring herself to tell Aunt Raylene that they're not really getting married. When he's brought in to meet her, they exchange pleasantries. Then Raylene asks to speak with him alone. He pushes Nadine out the door and is promptly asked the big question, "What are your intentions for Nadine?" Nik says that he cares for Nadine very deeply and that he honors and respects her, but he's not sure if he's ready to love like he did with his deceased wife. Wise Raylene assures him that he's a good man but asks him to be careful with Nadine's heart because she's been very hurt in the past.
Nik steps out and joins Nadine, who apologizes profusely. Nik says, "If your Aunt Raylene's last dying wish is to see you married, that's what we'll do."
Wednesday, December 03 2008: Nadine's Family Thinks Nik is a Freeloader!
"You must be the freeloader who's trying to con Nadine into marrying him," a giant man says to Nikolas when he finds him on his doorstep. Bo Crowell, Nadine's cousin, lets Nik into the Crowell family farmhouse and then lays into him for taking advantage of his cousin. He tells Nik to stop whining and apply for citizenship or hightail it back to his country of origin. Nadine rushes out and gives Nik a warm welcome. She tells her cousin to go milk the cows or something.
Bo begrudgingly leaves and Nadine sits with Nik. She explains that her Aunt Raylene is dying. Through tears, she tells him how much her aunt means to her and Nik tucks her into his arms and lets her talk. She says that her dad died during a botched surgery when she was ten and her mom took off soon after. Aunt Raylene raised her and her sister Jolene and gave them an amazing childhood. Before long, Uncle Vance comes in and pretty much calls Nik a liar for calling himself a Prince. Nik tries to explain and says that his lawyers are working on his deportation problem. Uncle Vance says that he needs to marry Nadine soon anyway because it is her Aunt Raylene's dying wish.
