Yahoo Lifestyle General Hospital’s Nicholas Alexander Chavez Weighs In On Whether Spencer Will Ever Rise From His Watery Grave
When General Hospital sent Spencer Cassadine to a watery grave in January 2024, it was expected that Nicholas Alexander Chavez would return to the role once he was done shooting Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans.
While shooting the back half of Season 2 of the anthology series, creator Ryan Murphy offered Chavez a plum part in Grotesquerie (airing on FX Wednesdays at 10/9c). “It was an opportunity to play in a world that was very, very different from the Menendez brothers,” the actor tells TVLine, “so I was really excited to jump on board.”

If so much time passes that General Hospital is forced to recast Spencer, that would be all right with Chavez, who replaced Nicolas Bechtel when the character was aged up in 2021. “Of course. I understand that the show has needs,” Chavez says, “and I would be fully supportive of that.”
