General Hospital1963

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
You were trained from birth to take over the Cassadine empire. My brother raised you, and he loved you, Nikolas, beyond all reason. Unfortunately, he died. Your mother is Laura. She left you in Greece when you were very young.

Nikolas Cassidine:
How did I end up here?

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
Obligation. You made friends here, Nikolas. You made good friends, they were your own age. And you had never had that experience before.

Nikolas Cassidine:
Was I happy?

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
I think so - for a Cassadine. The Cassadine's have never been accused of looking at the bright side of things. You were kind, you were generous, you were loyal. You wanted to replace the Cassadine insanity with reason. You were our soul, our conscience.

Nikolas Cassidine:
Like - like Emily is for the Quartermaines.

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
In a way, yes.

Nikolas Cassidine:
Yeah. I think I'm beginning to realize why we fell in love.
