As he grew up, he developed a hatred for his mother and vowed that he would never trust her. But when he met her in Port Charles in 1996, he wanted to become close to her despite lingering reservations about trusting her. Stefan had brought Nikolas to town to save his half-sister Lulu's life by donating his bone marrow to her. Luke, who had not known about Nikolas until then, forced Laura to choose between Nikolas and her real family. Torn, Laura ultimately chose to remain with Luke and their children and abandoned Nikolas yet again. Hurt, Nikolas felt no need to remain in Port Charles and asked Stefan to take him back to Greece. However, Stefan threatened to have General Hospital shut down if Laura didn't let the Cassadines remain in Port Charles. She was forced to agree to his terms. During all of this, Nikolas had developed a close friendship with Nurse Bobbie Spencer at General Hospital. Bobbie later married Stefan and the two became closer. However, their friendship quickly came to an end after Nikolas discovered that Bobbie had betrayed Stefan. Nikolas' next friendship was with Katherine Bell, whom he first met when she came to Wyndemere, the Cassadine mansion, looking for location shots for a campaign for her company, Deception Cosmetics. When Laura faked her own death to escape the Cassadine threats, Nikolas ran straight to Katherine. Before she could console him as a friend, he pulled her into a passionate kiss, changing everything. When Katherine was found shot at Wyndemere, Nikolas immediately accused Luke, but in actuality, it had been Stefan who pulled the trigger, thinking that there was an intruder on the island. When Nikolas discovered that his mother had faked her death, he banished her from his life. He still remained close to his sister and grandmother though, and decided to stay in Port Charles and attend public school. He then became involved with Sarah Webber, which caused further resentment with his half-brother Lucky who had a crush on Sarah at the time. One night at a party at Luke's club, Nikolas became the victim of mob violence when he was shot in the throat with a bullet intended for Jason Morgan and suffered a stroke. Jason then performed a tracheotomy and ultimately saved his life. The accident left him with Broca's Aphasia, and he was unable to speak for a long period of time. During his recovery, Nikolas became depressed and shut Sarah out because he was ashamed to see her. They eventually broke up. One person that Nikolas did respond to though, was Robin Scorpio. They developed a bond as Robin helped him with his speech therapy. Stefan, however, did not approve of his relationship with Robin. Not only was she a member of the Scorpio family, whom the Cassadines had had trouble with in the past, but she was also involved with Jason Morgan. Despite this, they still remained good friends. Nikolas was happy to learn that Katherine and Stefan were engaged. He liked Katherine as a friend and knew that she would be good for his uncle. On the night of the Bacchanalia, the party celebrating their engagement, Katherine fell to her "death" off a parapet after overhearing a conversation between Stefan and Laura and learning that Stefan was Nikolas' father. Nikolas was devastated, and of course blamed Luke. However, she later returned from the dead and revealed Nikolas's paternity to him following a fight. Furious, he confronted Stefan and Laura and felt betrayed and upset for being lied to for all this time. However, he had always thought of Stefan as a father, and after he got over the anger of being lied to, he couldn't have been happier. Not only was he released from the duties of being a prince, he now had the one thing that he always wanted, a family. When an unknown person was blackmailing his friend Emily Quartermaine, Nikolas joined forces with Liz, Emily, and Lucky to catch the blackmailer. When they caught him, they discovered that he was also Liz's rapist. Through this adventure Nikolas and Lucky realized that they could count on each other, and they began to build a relationship. Nikolas also began to rebuild a relationship with Katherine, this time a more serious one. Neither Laura nor Stefan was happy when they learned of this, and they were more than horrified when Katherine announced she was "pregnant" and she and Nikolas were getting married. On the night of their wedding, Katherine repeated history, and again fell off the parapet after being pushed by Helena, who thought Katherine would ruin her grandson's life. This time though, she died. The first person Nikolas suspected was Laura because he knew how much she hated Katherine and how disappointed she was in their relationship. He then learned that Katherine had been manipulating him the whole time and not only was she faking the pregnancy, but she was also barren. The next tragedy in Nikolas' life occurred when he thought his brother Lucky had died in a fire. He and Lucky's girlfriend, Liz became closer and tried to help each other through their grief. Nikolas was attracted to Liz, but he knew he couldn't act on it because her heart was still with Lucky. Almost a year later, Nikolas discovered the possibility that Lucky could be alive. He and Liz went to New York City, where they eventually found him. Lucky was not the same person though. He said that he didn't love Liz anymore and started urging Nikolas to take her, but of course he couldn't because Liz was still convinced that Lucky loved her. Several months later, Nikolas, Liz and Lucky realized that Lucky had been brainwashed by Helena and after extensive therapy, Lucky realized that he did still love Liz and they got back together. It wasn't long before Nikolas' true paternity was discovered: Nikolas was indeed the son of Stavros Cassadine, making Nikolas the Cassadine prince and Stefan his uncle. The deception had been a plan by Helena to gain access to the Cassadine fortune which was supposed to be inherited by the prince. She also enjoyed toying with Stefan's emotions in making him believe he was Nikolas' father. Although angered about being plagued by Cassadine lies again, Nikolas didn't really care what relation Stefan was to him because he would always be his father. A few months later, though, Stefan "died," presumably at the hands of Luke Spencer. But in reality, Stefan had faked his death in order to avoid a real one at the hands of Helena. But Nikolas was unaware of Stefan's plan, and continued to mourn his uncle. Nikolas met his next great love when he teamed up with Lucky and Liz to catch Emily's blackmailer. They caught her trying to take the cash they had set out as bait. Gia Campbell, the blackmailer, agreed to help them catch the guy who had set Emily up if they kept her presence in Port Charles from her brother. Nikolas found himself attracted to the loud, brash, and beautiful Gia. When she lost her job and had no where else to go, he let her move in with him rent-free. Gia was the only one who he could really talk to after his uncle came back from the "dead." Nikolas was enraged and hurt that his uncle had once again lied to him, and so he shut him out of his life for good. The attraction between Gia and Nikolas built until they finally gave into it. When Gia lost the chance to be the new Face of Deception model for Deception Cosmetics, to Liz, Gia was devastated, and this time, Nikolas helped her. Their budding romance began to blossom more. After everyone realized that Helena was still using mind control on Lucky, Nikolas realized he would do anything to get his brother out from under Helena's control. He secretly partnered with Luke and Elizabeth in an elaborate scheme to protect Lucky and bring down Helena. In order to fool Helena and protect Gia at the same time, Nikolas broke it off with Gia and began to function as a "True Cassadine." In an effort to prove his loyalty, he had his grandmother "remove" Lucky's love for Elizabeth from Lucky's memory, claiming to want Elizabeth for himself. In the meantime, Helena had defrosted her son, Stavros, who then wandered around PC pretending to be Lucien Cane. Gia tried to move on and even dated Lucien a few times, not realizing his true identity. But she couldn't give up on Nikolas and soon stumbled on his plan of deception. So she joined Nikolas against Helena. Nikolas met his father for the first time in Helena's lab. Stavros never quite trusted his son's loyalty to the Cassadines and pretended to still be frozen when Helena showed Nikolas her lab. Left alone with Stavros, Nikolas revealed his hatred for his father, not realizing that Stavros heard every word he said. Nikolas told Gia about the meeting and she comforted him. After he left to talk to his mother, Gia found a photo and realized that Lucien was Stavros. Laura and Nikolas went to Helena's lab and came face to face with the very much alive Stavros. Nikolas tried to play on his father's love for him to convince him to let Nikolas, Laura, and Gia go but Stavros got mad and locked Gia and Nikolas in a room. Ultimately, Luke defeated Stavros, who fell into a bottomless pit, and Helena was sent to jail. Back together publicly, Nikolas proposed to Gia who eagerly accepted. Stefan threw them an engagement party at Wydemere, during which Nikolas' recently-discovered Aunt Kristina (Alexis' long-lost sister) revealed that she was taking the Cassadine name as her own. Stefan then announced that Nikolas would be running Cassadine Industries because Stefan was leaving for Milan. Uncertain at first, Nikolas finally accepted this huge responsibility and Nikolas and Gia moved into Wyndemere. In the months following Stavros's death and Helena's defeat, Nikolas was plagued with dreams and thoughts of becoming like his father. Gia did her best to comfort him and even gave up her modeling career to focus on her relationship with Nikolas. The night following her last modeling shoot, Nikolas, Gia, Elizabeth, and Lucky went to dinner to celebrate. Sarah Webber, Liz's sister and Nikolas' former girlfriend came back to town, bringing out feelings of jealousy in Gia. Gia left before Nikolas and got in a car accident on the way home. Nikolas then went into protective-mode and covered up the fact that Gia was at fault and that she'd been intoxicated at the time. He refused to let her confess her true involvement and paid off any witnesses. The only possible crimp in Nikolas' cover-up was Elizabeth, who'd been in the car with Gia and didn't remember much about the accident. Nikolas attempted to distract her and prevent her from inadvertently revealing the truth by persuading her and Lucky to move into Wyndemere. But when Elizabeth finally remembered everything, she blasted them all for their deceptions and moved out. Then Gia's brother Taggert hired an undercover cop to gather dirt on Nikolas and the possible cover up of Gia's fault in the accident. Nikolas caught on and tried to feed Taggert false information. But the whole investigation became pointless when Courtney dropped the whole thing and they all moved on. It became obvious that Gia was bored with just being the fiancé of a prince, so Nikolas paid for her to make a come back on the cover of a big magazine. But when Gia found out that her talents hadn't earned her the cover, she yelled at Nikolas for trying to control her life. They grew further apart when Gia decided to go back to school to become a lawyer and went to work for Alexis in her law office. But the final straw was Gia's growing friendship with Zander Smith. Nikolas was extremely jealous and tried to pay Zander to leave town. Gia found out and broke off their engagement. Nikolas then focused on keeping his mother and his brother safe from Luke, who had recently gone on a destructive rampage in anguish over losing Laura and seemed to chase Laura deeper into her illness whenever he went to see her. Nikolas made every effort to keep Laura's location a secret from Luke. In an effort to keep Luke distracted and to stop him from potentially hurting Lucky, Nikolas secretly hired a call girl who resembled a younger Laura to keep Luke's attention. When it was revealed that the girl, named Summer (her real name was actually Laura) was working with Nikolas, Luke was angry and hurt. She revealed that Nikolas had blackmailed her into it by promising that he knew where her long lost brother was at. But Summer's brother turned out to be an ex boyfriend who had worked for Nikolas and stolen some valuable coins belonging to the Cassadines. Nikolas had hoped that Summer would lead him to her boyfriend and the coins. Summer teamed up with Luke and Lucky to try and find her boyfriend and Nikolas followed them. They discovered at the end of the trail that the coins were worthless. When Nikolas returned from his adventure, Emily came to see him. She confided in him that she had breast cancer and had resigned herself to die. She was concealing this fact from her boyfriend Zander. She asked Nikolas to help her convince Zander that Emily and Nikolas were in love so that Zander would leave Emily and wouldn't have to watch her die. The plan eventually worked, although not before Emily and Nikolas were forced to get engaged to be really convincing. This did not make Stefan happy. He had recently returned to town because the Cassadines were in danger of going bankrupt since Helena had squandered away much of the Cassadine fortune. Stefan had been forced to take several loans. Now the creditors wanted their money, but if that couldn't be delivered, they wanted blood instead, preferably Nikolas.' Nikolas tried to reassure his uncle that he would take care of it, but Stefan had an idea of his own. He brought Lydia Karenin to town to marry Nikolas. Lydia was set to inherit a fortune if she married Nikolas, otherwise she wouldn't get anything. The fortune in turn would solve the Cassadine's money woes. Nikolas' engagement to Emily prevented Lydia from marrying Nikolas. So Stefan arranged for Emily to be pushed off of the cliffs at Wyndemere during her engagement party. But heavy fog that night caused the assassin to mistakenly push Summer, who had come to the party with Lucky. She died and in an effort to cover his tracks, Stefan tried to frame Luke for Summer's death. Nikolas forced Emily to attend a breast cancer survivor group meeting, which inspired her to fight her cancer. It also helped her to decide to tell Zander the truth about her cancer and she reunited with Zander. But all the pretending Nikolas and Emily had done had led to a real love between them. Torn between his love for Emily and his duty to his family, Nikolas decided to be a dutiful Cassadine and marry Lydia. Lucky was appalled by Nikolas' decision, especially since he knew that Nikolas really loved Emily. Emily arrived in the middle of the ceremony and Nikolas nearly called it off. But Emily told him she only wanted to say good bye to him. A saddened Nikolas married Lydia, washed his hands of Stefan, and jilted his new bride on their wedding night. Soon after the wedding, a second part to the will's clause came up: Lydia and Nikolas had to have a child within the first 5 years of their marriage in order to gain the full inheritance. This would be a problem since Nikolas didn't intend to ever sleep with Lydia, although one night before they were married he did out of anger and frustration over giving up Emily. Nikolas, still very much in love with Emily, stuck close by when her immune system shut down and allowed her to easily contract meningitis. As Nikolas focused on Emily, Lucky and Lydia worked together to prove that Stefan was trying to kill Emily when Summer was pushed instead. Lydia was able to get a confession from Stefan on tape and Stefan was arrested. He was appalled when Nikolas refused to help him. Nikolas claimed that his uncle had become a different person when he'd tried to kill Emily. Emily hovered near death and married Zander as a last gift to him before she died. But a dream in which she kissed and married Nikolas brought her back from the other side and she lived. She informed Nikolas that she wanted to honor her marriage vows to Zander and Nikolas agreed to respect her wishes. However they were caught on film when they nearly made love one night. When Zander saw the photos he went after Nikolas. Nikolas was already in the hospital after receiving a beating ordered by Lorenzo Alcazar, who turned out to be Nikolas' major creditor. Emily managed to stop Zander from beating up Nikolas and enlisted Jason's help in insuring Nikolas' safety from Lorenzo. Initially, Nikolas plotted with Jason to kill Lorenzo. But Nikolas changed his mind and borrowed money from Jason instead. Stefan was not happy to hear that Nikolas had borrowed money from a gangster, but Nikolas told him that Stefan had done the same when he borrowed money from Lorenzo Alcazar. Stefan then tried to kill Lorenzo in order to rub out the debt completely. After hearing about this, Nikolas informed him that he didn't want anything to do with him anymore. Finally deciding to follow his heart, Nikolas filed for divorce so that he could pursue Emily. Her marriage to Zander was also floundering and she was by Nikolas' side when he learned of Stefan's death at the hands of Luke. On the outside, Nikolas showed little remorse and even said "good for Luke" when the cops informed him that Luke had escaped custody. But on the inside, he felt quite guilty and saddened by Stefan's death. At Stefan's funeral, Helena repeatedly insulted Stefan and called his life a waste. But Nikolas told her to shut-up and then with heart-felt emotion, expressed his gratitude for Stefan's care throughout his life despite the desperate choices that Stefan made near the end of his life. When Luke snuck into the gravesite after the service, Nikolas told him that the Cassadine/Spencer War had died with Stefan. Nikolas and Zander continued to fight over Emily, who took a step back from both of them. But she finally made her choice following the Halloween costume ball. When Emily ran off after confessing her love to Nikolas, Nikolas followed her to the cottage. He informed her that his divorce was official now and took off his wedding band in front of her. Then Nikolas made love to her for the first time. Emily and Nikolas happily spent time together in the open again, although they had to contend with Zander attempting to take his anger out on them on more than one occasion. Nikolas also discovered that Stefan's death had really been a suicide. Once Emily's divorce was final, Nikolas proposed. They announced their engagement to her family along with his poor financial status. But while trying to recover his recently sunken freighter, it was discovered that a sunken ship that had once belonged to the Quartermaines of many generations ago was underneath it. Supposedly the Courage sank while loaded with treasure. Emily and Nikolas told the Quartermaines about the treasure and their intention for the families to split the proceeds. However, Tracy had other plans and hired Sam McCall to recover the treasure for her. Nikolas, in turn, hired Sam's father Cody. A few days later, Cody's body was discovered in the tunnels at Wyndemere. Nikolas was arrested and put in jail. Soon, they figured out that Zander was blackmailing Ric into framing Nikolas for murder. Eventually Ric grew tired of Zander's threats and tossed him in jail after he provoked Nikolas into attacking him. Nikolas was then freed. The treasure from the ship had disappeared by that time. Emily and Nikolas tracked the treasure to a hiding place where Helena revealed she had stolen the treasure for Nikolas. They got the treasure back from her and prepared to auction it off. However, the night of the auction, a fire broke out in the Port Charles Hotel and the treasure disappeared. The auction attendees had to be rescued by helicopter from the roof. But when it came time for the last helicopter to leave, there wasn't enough room for everyone. Nikolas bravely gave his spot to Emily, who tearfully watched as the roof crumbled with Nikolas on standing on it. Although everyone else believed Nikolas had perished in the fire, Emily refused to believe the love of her life was dead. A few days later she was at Wyndemere remembering the good times with Nikolas when he walked through the door, somewhat battered, but alive. Emily filled him in on the fact that Zander had been killed in the basement by the fire. However, Emily, Nikolas, Ric, and Elizabeth all received letters from Zander stating that each person's significant other had killed him prior to the fire. The group set about trying to figure out who actually killed Zander. Nikolas admitted he had confronted Zander in the basement before the fire and knocked him out. Then he locked Zander in the basement and called the police. Ric arrested Nikolas. However, Elizabeth soon confessed to a confrontation with Zander of her own. She was prepared to confess all to the cops, but Ric wouldn't stand for it. So Emily persuaded Jason to tell the cops that Detective Capelli had confessed before he died to killing Zander. The case was closed. …but not for long. Clues began surfacing that Zander wasn't dead at all. When Emily went to visit the cottage she had briefly shared with Zander, he appeared in the doorway. He wanted to make a fresh start with Emily and claimed to have taken Nikolas. He tried to force Emily to sleep with him in order to save Nikolas, but couldn't go through with it since it wouldn't be out of love. By this time the cops had the place surrounded. Nikolas, on the way back from a business trip, heard on the radio about Zander's return from the dead and that he had Emily hostage. Panicked, Nikolas tried to get back to Port Charles in a hurry. But he ran his car off the road instead. After Zander's standoff with the police ended in his death, Emily learned about Nikolas's accident. However, the police couldn't find Nikolas. Emily searched for days, but slowly realized that Nikolas was gone. In reality, Nikolas wandered away from the accident site to a nearby cottage where he collapsed on the front porch. The woman who lived there took him in. When Nikolas awoke, she told him her name was Mary and that she was his wife. She nursed him back to health and continually fed him the past that belonged to her real husband Connor, who had been killed in the war in Iraq. Nikolas tried to swallow what she told him about his past, but things didn't seem to fit quite right. As Mary befriended Emily and took a job at GH, Nikolas grew restless and ventured out more often. Although he knew about and had seen Emily from afar, he still didn't remember her. Mary attended Nikolas's memorial service as Nikolas listened from outside the church. Later, he took a job painting the church and met Lorenzo Alcazar. Alcazar was puzzled by the fact that Nikolas introduced himself as Connor Bishop. He offered Connor a job working for him. Mary tried to dissuade Nikolas from accepting. But Nikolas was intrigued and agreed to work for Alcazar. He also tried to live in the present and look to the future by proposing to Mary. They were planning their wedding when Alcazar had Nikolas break into Jason's apartment. He got shot and Alcazar had him patched up by a private doctor. Then he offered to send the couple on a trip. Nikolas was drawn to a brochure on Mexico and asked to go there. While in Mexico, Mary and Nikolas "renewed" their vows. While Nikolas was on the terrace of their room, Emily spotted him from the adjoining terrace. She confronted him later only to discover he was suffering from amnesia and believed he was Connor Bishop. Emily was heartbroken but didn't reveal his true identity. Back in Port Charles, Nikolas underwent hypnotherapy to regain his memory. He had flashes of memory but nothing that made him remember Emily or his identity. However, he found himself drawn to Emily and gave in to his feelings one night and made love to her. Afterwards, Nikolas got a call that Mary had nearly drowned in the river. Guilt-ridden, he promised to stop trying to remember and told Emily their night together was a mistake. However, it wasn't long before Nikolas wanted to remember again. Mary suggested that they have a baby to focus on the future. But Nikolas wasn't sure. Emily found out that Mary was trying to have a baby and confronted her, threatening to tell Nikolas the truth. In the meantime, Alcazar provided Nikolas with a false history, courtesy of Mary, that painted Emily as a former lover who wouldn't let go of him. When Nikolas returned to confront Mary about it, he found she had taken an overdose of sleeping pills. Believing that Emily had already told him the truth, she called him Nikolas. Caught, she was forced to explain what was going on and tried to justify her actions. But Nikolas stormed out. He confronted Emily over why she hadn't been the one to tell him the truth first. She told him about her fear of driving him away by the shock of the truth the way Jason had left the family. But Nikolas only saw betrayal instead of love in her actions. Although he now knew he was Nikolas Cassadine, he couldn't remember any of his life as Nikolas. He tried to drink away the pain and betrayal he felt. Lucky and Emily tried to convince him that they loved him, but he yelled at them to leave him alone and that he felt nothing for either of them. But when he saw them together one night, he punched Lucky. Lucky then had him thrown in jail for the night. Helena tried to have him committed so that he would be declared mentally incompetent and she could control the Cassadine fortune. Lucky helped him escape but Helena found him later. Emily blamed Mary and believed she had paired up with Helena. In the institution, Helena made sure Nikolas was drugged and attempted to brainwash him into becoming a true Cassadine prince. Emily snuck in as a patient and convinced Nikolas to only pretend to take his medication so that they could later escape. However, Helena found Emily before they could and had her drugged as well. Nikolas found her and got her out of there. But before they left, he remembered everything from his past. They hid in the boathouse at the Quartermaines where Nikolas shared the good news and they renewed their love for each other.
