According to a tweet from his on-screen grandmother, Genie Francis (Laura), fan favorite scene-stealer Nicolas Bechtel (Spencer) is making a return to GH.  While we don’t know if its a short return, or an appearance. or a lengthier stay, it’s always great when Spencer Cassadine shakes up the canvas.

Francis went public with the intel with her tweet that said: “@NicolasJBechtel A little bird told me I might be seeing u soon, well actually a big bird, a really big bird…”

Bechtel had been busy appearingon the Disney Channel series, Stuck in the Middle playing the role of Lewie Diaz, while away from Port Charles.  When we last heard of Spencer, grandma Laura had him sent away to boarding school in Europe following the “death” of his father, Nikolas (Tyler Christopher and last played by Nick Stabile).

Excited to know a Nicolas Bechtel sighting is on its way to your TV screens? Comment below!

Niiice!! Missed him.

PS.
Nicolas has been oustanding as “Lewie”. I’ve caught a few eps with the kids.
His acting really stands out. Nicolas is a true performer.

Celia you know GOOD AND WELL wasn’t no kids around you while were watching the Disney channel LOL

@davlestev 1.
LOL. you’re right, dav. I am mostly stuck on this sofa, with a lame leg.I still watch cartoons. LOL.
Love my Mickey Mouse!! HaHa!!

@CeeCee….Yes, Nicolas is undoubtedly a true performer, but I’m sorry, his Spencer is an insufferable little twerp!

He’s a great little actor and fun.

And wasn’t that a sweet tweet from Genie?? 🙂

Yes! He does such a great job in the role of Spencer.

THANK YOU

So happy to hear this! I miss this little big ball of fire. I hope this means the Nicolas isn’t far behind. Anyway, screen time with Spencer’s wise-cracking is always a delight.

Happy to see Spencer back. If only Britt would come back with him.

Personally, I’d love to see Britt come back all by her lonesome…or btter yet, with “Daddy Faison” in tow! Perhaps Liesl has a birthday coming up and could do with a special surprise visit???

Oh, yes, Shay! That would be a dream come true….Britt and my hilarious Faison.

Tell me about it, CeeCeeGirl…Love that Britt, she has “true grit,” and Faison, well, is FAISON!!! Need I say more???? LOL…

Faison as Nathan’s father!

GOOD! He’s been missed. Now bring back his father, Nikolas Cassadine–he also has been missed.

Hi Rhonda That’s my favorite sisters name . I call her Rhonda-RIFIC !

Where is the actor who played Nicholas? And the great actor who portrayed him? I thought he was leaving for a short term ?

Glad he’s returning. I like the little guy, he has spunk, is funny and can stir things up. Let’s hope he’s worked into a significant plot, not just in the background.

Awesome! Now, please come back Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) and also Kelly Thiebaud (Britt).

I read Tyler made a statement a few days ago that he’s definitely not coming back and is moving to Nashville.

Bring back Tyler too!!!!!

most likely-
Spenser knows his dad Nikolas is alive and has been in contact or at times with Nikolas..

GOOD NEWS. LITTLE MAN BRINGS SO MUCH TO THE SHOW…HOPE HE IS USED FULL TIME…..

Did not really like his character all that much.

Perfect timing….GH is very exciting right now….this news makes it even better.

LOVE this kid! Adorable and talented; hope he returns as many times as his schedule allows.

I want to see little Nick take Charlotte under his wing. She is such a cutey and really has done a good job. I thought I read somewhere that this was her first acting job? Those two would be adorable. Oh, and Spencer will match wits with Valentine, for sure!

I like that, Timmmy. I can see Charlotte and Spencer forming a friendship.
I just wonder where Spencer will be living and with whom? With Lulu?
He is the rightful heir of Wyndemere, as far as I am concerned. Nina and Valentin just don’t belong there.

I don’t think he’s coming back full time, CeeCee. But, if he did, until and if a recast Nicolas comes back, he’d probably live with Lulu or Laura.

Spencer will probably live in grandma Laura’s car with her!

Probably Laura….if she ever makes it out of that car trunk….perhaps Spencer could join here there!

So happy to hear this….I know he will bring some life back to GH…the show NEEDS him!

Ugh

glad to hear he is returning–love that precocious child!

Laura needs a house so Spencer has a place to stay. No reason she needs to continue couch surfing

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

In the upcoming season, the series will focus on the the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the two well-to-do Beverly Hills brothers accused of murdering their parents in 1989.

After word from Chavez casting was revealed, GH fans were concerned over the fate of the Sprina story, a spokesperson for GH shared,  “We support Nicholas’ endeavors and look forward to having him return to General Hospital once this project is wrapped.”

In story, the series “killed off” Spencer when he went overboard with Esme to the steely waters below after being injected with a drug, thanks to Esme and falling into the Seine River in France. However, his body was never recovered, and believed to have drowned or washed away. Thus, leaving an opening for Spencer to return in the form of Chavez or be recast down the line.

Speaking with PEOPLE, Wagner expressed, what we all know who watch the soaps, that no one is never, ever really gone for good. Jack expressed, “You never really die on a soap, right? How they unfold those two characters (Peter and Amanda), it’d be fantastic how they sort of tell that story.”

The original Melrose Place aired for seven seasons from 1992 to 1999. The story featured the residents of an apartment complex, whose lives were intertwined. Eventually Wagner and Heather Locklear dated fro 2007-2011.

As previously reported, the new Melrose Place share that some of original neighbors and friends reunite after a death. The loglines add, “The pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”

So, would you like to see Jack Wagner return as Dr. Peter Burns on Melrose Place, or Frisco Jones on GH, or both? Comment below.
