‘General Hospital’ News: James Nigbor OUT – Little Jake Recast Coming To ‘GH’

‘General Hospital’ spoilers tease that James Nigbor is exiting the ABC soap. Oh, Oh! This is bad news for all the lovers of Little Jake on ‘General Hospital’. Rumor has it the show runners have decided to SORAS this child (rapidly age him). James’ twitter handle confirms that the actor has been let go and the character has already been recast.

The account which seems to be operated by his parent, who was showing their appreciation to all the fans of James Nigbor throughout his run as Jake, tweeted: ‘This is for my son James. You will always be our Liason Baby. Thank you to all the fans for loving my boy” shares the account owner. In response a fan stated “@JamesLNigbor Thank you for sharing him with us. I hope we see more of him on #GH”. Shockingly the owner of the account replied “@HCarp29 I’m sorry but he has been recast :(. Thanks for all your love and support.”

We just got back our Little Jake after so many years consumed with anger that the child was killed off back in 2011. James reprised the role of Jake in the latter part of 2015. It was revealed that the child was indeed alive when Luke (Anthony Geary) and Laura (Genie Francis) went in search of Helena for answers regarding their own issues. Jake is the biological son of Jason (Billy Miller) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) but fortunately for Jake he has two dads, Lucky also played the role of his father.

In recent stories, Jake was at Shriner’s Hospital recovering from injuries of an accident. Elizabeth and Jason had just realized how troubled their child was and sought help for him. Jake ended his unhealthy obsession with Sam (Kelly Morgan) forgiving her for reuniting with his dad although he wanted his parents back together. This is definitely horrible news, since the actor has displayed outstanding acting abilities. Though we are saddened by this news, we wish James all the best in regards to the future of his acting career. So GH fans are you as disappointed as we are with this casting news?
