ADAM HUSS ON GH RUN

Adam Huss, who pinch-hit for Marcus Coloma as Nikolas several times over the last few months, was called back to play out his most dramatic GH material yet during his most recent stint, which ended with the character's apparent demise at Ava's hands.

Prior to his GH appearance, Huss had a brief but memorable 2002 run on B&B as Lance, who was killed when Sheila unleashed a swarm of killer bees upon him. "I had so much fun with that because it was ridiculous in the best way," he chuckles. "The storyline was so crazy and Kimberlin [Brown, Sheila] was so wonderful. She was very kind and very open and she taught me the art of stuffing the scripts behind the pillows [laughs]. I was like, 'Oh, I can do that?' And she was like, 'Honey, yes, you have to do that.' She was a blast to work with. You had to embrace the camp in that. I think my first line was, There's a bees' nest out there, dude! I'm allergic to bees!' and Kimberlin was hiding in the closet listening." Over the years, Huss had done various auditions at GH for Casting Director Mark Teschner. "I had been called in a bunch of different times for the show," says the actor.
