Jordi Vilasuso Eyeing A Lead Role on General Hospital
Looks like Jordi Vilasuso is going to make a comeback in the soaps, and no it’s not on the Young and the Restless this time. Vilasuso is eyeing a lead role and making his way to Port Charles, aka General Hospital. Let’s jump right in to know more about it.
What has Jordi Vilasuso been up to?
Jordi Vilasuso has a rich history in daytime television, having started his soap career as Tony Santos on Guiding Light in 2000, later portraying Dr. Griffin Castillo on All My Children, and most recently as Detective Rey Rosales on The Young and the Restless. In case you weren’t aware, Jordi Vilasuso has been on a bit of a break from the acting scene lately. He decided to take some time off to focus on his family, especially with baby number three on the way. However, it seems like Jordi might be ready to step back into the world of soap operas again. And interestingly, there’s a character over at General Hospital that fans believe could be a perfect fit for him.
Nikolas Cassadine, originally played by Adam Huss, recently made a short-lived return to General Hospital before vanishing once again. This has set the rumor mill spinning with speculations about when Nikolas will make his next dramatic comeback. Moreover, there’s also been chatter about who could be another perfect candidate to step into the role. And among those fan favorites for this role, Jordi Vilasuso stands out the most, especially since he has wrapped up his role as Rey Rosales in Y&R for good.

This is both heartbreaking but also mesmerizing. @sharonlcase is so damn talented. This was hard to watch honestly.

Fans on Twitter have been pretty vocal about wanting to see Jordi Vilasuso as Nikolas Cassadine. One fan, Soap Dude 2, tweeted, “If we can’t have Tyler Christopher or Adam Huss as Nikolas Cassadine on #GH, then what about Jordi Vilasuso? He’s perfect!” Forever and a Day podcast producer and actress Emmy Morgan also humorously joined in, saying, “Honey, Jordi could play Helena Cassadine and I’d watch. He’s a brilliant actor.”

All the excitement and praise caught Jordi Vilasuso’s attention, and he responded to the speculation with a cryptic yet promising tweet. He retweeted a post by Soap Dude 2 and used a couple of emojis that sure got us thinking. While it’s not a confirmation, these emojis certainly hint that Jordi Vilasuso is open to the idea of returning to ABC and General Hospital.
The last time General Hospital viewers saw Nikolas was on September 15, when he left for Europe to inform Laura of his survival and reclaim control of the Cassadine estate. If Jordi Vilasuso were to take on the role, it would add an exciting twist to ongoing storylines, creating a perfect storm of Cassadine drama.
