GENERAL HOSPITAL 56th Anniversary Episode: Gail’s Final Wish Brings Remembrances & Touching Moments
Simple two-person scenes that most soap opera fans long for were the order of the day in a special love letter to longtime viewers tied with a nice bow, as well as saying goodbye to the beloved Susan Brown (Dr. Gail Baldwin). The actress passed away at the end of August of last year.
Using the history of many iconic characters relationships that are still on the canvas decades later, General Hospital celebrated its 56th anniversary with the airing of this special standalone episode on Tuesday.
In story, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has gathered everyone that Gail has requested to be present at the hospital to honor her final wishes. So, Scott (Kin Shriner), Franco (Roger Howarth), Laura (Genie Francis), Lesley (Denise Alexander), Bobbie (Jackie Zeman), Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) Monica (Leslie Charleson), Kevin (Jon Lindstrom), Lucy (Lynn Herring), Maxie (Kirsten Storms), Mac (John J. York), Felicia (Kristina Wagner), Sonny (Maurice Benard), Carly (Laura Wright) and Julian (William deVry) all wind up together at a nurses’ station.
Alexis explains the task at hand at Gail’s request that has each of them receiving a piece of the original blueprint of the hospital. Next, each person is to go to that location and find an envelope with their name on it and then return to the nurses’ station. And from there, the story unfolds, putting former enemies, painful memories, and heartfelt enduring relationships to the forefront.

First, we find Lesley Webber and her longtime nemesis Monica Quartermaine going at in the locker room looking for their envelopes, which featured Lesley calling Monica “a slut” for ole’ time sake! Next, Bobbie and Felicia find their envelopes by the wall of photos which brings back B.J.’s death and Maxie’s heart transplant that saved her life.
We then find Lucy going through some of her Nurses’ Ball gowns and Monica happens by. Lucy finds a pocket square of Dr. Alan Quartermaine, and then tells Monica how badly she feels that she treated so bad, and that Alan would want his true love, Monica, to have the pocket square.
This episode though, truly belonged to Kin Shriner, who brought the anguish of a grown-up son now having lost both his parents. =When Scott sees Laura, she is trying to help him figure out his piece of the blueprint. He shares that he remembers Gail dragging him back to Port Charles kicking and screaming, but how if it was not for her, Laura would have never been in his life. When Laura finds the envelope meant for him, he shares that he hopes it contains advice about how to continue on without Lee (the late Peter Hansen) and Gail.

Then, in a hankie-inducing moment, Franco apologizes to his dad for working undercover with Jordan and not telling him. Scott understands, as it reminds him of how he treated his parents in much the same way. An emotional Scott tells Franco he loves him and he will never turn his back on him. Because of Franco, Scott now understands what his own parents went through and the two men hug, sort of.

At the hospital chapel, Sonny and Laura talk about how she knew that the mobster was a good guy right from the start, and the two touch upon their mental health issues. Maxie thanks Mac for being there as her father, while Mac says he never thought he would be a stay-at-home dad, but wouldn’t have traded that experience for anything.
Epiphany and Liz have a nice moment about the nursing profession and being there for each other, Carly tells Bobbie she’s pregnant, Julian and Alexis share a close moment. And later, Scott and Bobbie discuss their past which ends in a friendly hug. Also, Sonny comes down the hospital stairs and looks up and see the Stone Cates Memorial plaque in remembrance of the fight against HIV/AIDS and a nod to that landmark storyline on GH.
Kevin and Lucy cross paths, and he clarifies he loves Laura. Lucy says even still she will stand by him. When they go to the hospital chapel to find the envelope for Kevin, Laura is there waiting. Lucy bows out. Kevin says he will always love Laura.
Once everyone returns to the nurse’s station with their envelopes, it’s time they open it at the same time. But what was in it? Confetti! When Alexis reads more of Gail’s letter, she tell everyone that they all need to carry if forward, and do some amazing things. and Gail thanks them for coming and being her friend.

Just then, Scott leaves the group and walks to the GH memorial wall and unveils a photo of Gail. What followed was a montage of many of the moments discussed earlier in the two-person scenes, which was a clever way to let the characters and the dialogue speak for themselves, and go to the clips at the end of the episode.
How nice it was to see moments with Kin Shriner, Genie Francis, Jackie Zeman, Denise Alexander, Leslie Charleson and many more!
What did you think of GH’s 56th anniversary episode? What did you think of the performance of Kin Shriner? Genie Francis. etc? Share your thoughts and review via the comment section below. But first, watch the final emotional moments and montage of the 56th anniversary episode below, as the song “Good Times” an original composition by Becky Shaheen and Gavin Linnahan, written for this standalone episode, accompanies the action.
Gail went through all that trouble, writing up her fjnal wishes, in her will, keeping everyone in suspense for weeks, only to throw a bunch of glitter at several people she hadn’t seen in years? Dumb. But Kin Shriner and Genie Francis were awesome. Love those two. They are the reasons why I started watching GH in 1978.
Nor had she met her grandson, Dumbo, er, I mean Franco, who was dancing around trying to catch the confetti.
@Harry….She might as well have “glitter-bombed” that clueless crowd who didn’t even realize they’d been had until the very end. And all to provide Franco’s highly-contrived confetti moment which remains to be surpassed only by his skillfull rendition of munching on “air popcorn!” Remember that dramatic gem????
I agree Joe. For obvious reasons, this was Scottie’s episode, and Kin proved it by his performance. Like everyone else in the late seventies, I was glued to my TV everyday after school, during the Luke and Laura years. Due to work, and losing interest, I gave up in the mid-eighties. I started watching the anniversary shows at the 50th, just to see ( not to sound morbid ), the the vets that are left, and to see if the ones who are gone are mentioned. When Scottie uncovered Gail’s picture, I was hoping the camera would do a quick long shot so we could see the entire wall. Leslie calling Monica a slut was perfect, and I cried when Lucy gave Monica Alan’s handkerchief. But like I said, this was Scottie’s episode, and Kin played it beautifully
Overall, it was a touching episode. Great to see the interactions.
No need for Julian to be there, however. They could have had Alexis flashbacks if they included the more logical Ned.
And did we really need Laura to prop up Sonny? Would rather have had her in a scene with Bobbie.
Otherwise, the stroll down memory lane was nice for us long time viewers.
Touching at times, yet still woefully inadequate! Where to begin, where to begin??? Well, I will take your cue, Steve, and go with the most obvious flaw in this whole episode. As you pointed out, there was absolutely no need for Julian’s clearly out-of-place presence! It was just another transparent excuse concocted to promote a “Julexis” re-coupling, which quite frankly, always brings a dirty, raunchy vibe to any scenario! Hardly the appropriate emotion to be included in a purported salute to a classy, highly-respected, dearly-departed member of the GH staff! Sorry, but are we really expected to buy into the notion that Gail, in her last days, gave such concerted consideration to this purely disgusting couple compared to her logical list of loved ones? Oh, spare me! Those of us who watched the ever-competent professional Dr. Adamson in her prime recall both her huge heart and generous, gracious soul, although she was also all about self-respect and dignity, especially for women. Even though she clearly adored Lee Baldwin, when he was in the deepest throes of his alcoholism, she was not about to stand by and allow his self-destructive behavior to mar her own life….she gave him a real dose of tough love and told him to clean himself up or she wouldn’t be there for him anymore. (As any female of substance would do….) Perhaps it was that very impetus that finally forced Lee to address his drinking problem because he didn’t want to lose his lady love…Gail’s ultimatum worked! Yet, at the same time, we’re supposed to believe that this iron lady of such strong convictions was in favor of Alexis reuniting with the man who violently held a knife to her throat? Oh, yeah…NOT! Adding to the insult of this dubious implication was the purely predictable sight of those two salivating over one another on the hospital staircase, practically succumbing to their barely-controlled lust in full-fledged public view. Right! As far as the ongoing effort for the golden girl Laura to sanitize Sonny’s sordid saga with her own sweet form of flimsy praise, well, that is an exercise in futility….even the beautiful, courageous heroine of GH’s glory days cannot remove the heavy tarnish of the Corinthos character from Sonny’s personage. It’s stuck like a piece of old gum on his “soul!” (Note: Use of homophone was purely intentional!)
The Sonny propping continued on Thursday with Epiphany singing his praises. This is the same man who is in many ways responsible for her son’s death! Ugh!
What’s next? Scotty and Sonny playing cards? Monica and Sonny doing a duet at the Nurses Ball?
Yep, Shay and Steve, Epiphany treats Sonny like he’s a hero and she treats a truly good guy, DR Kevin Collins, like he’s the Devil incarnate.
Epiphany irritates me with her misplaced angry, moral indignation.
@Steve…A more appropriate storyline would have seen Monica and Epiphany forming a support group for all the mothers who’ve lost children at the hands of Sonny Corinthos and his minions!
I enjoyed the show for the most part, but couldn’t they have included at least one clip of Gail. Was it necessary for Sonny, Franco, and Julian to be there?
Right? It was supposedly all about Gail and yet it wasn’t. SMH.
I agree Davy. Although I liked this episode better than last year’s anniversary, I wish it included clips of Gail.
No, no and NO! And your’re so right, Davy! How could it be that the “woman of the hour,” Dr. Gail Adamson-Baldwin didn’t rate even one video appearance? Whilst her photograph on the wall of GH honor was a fitting reminder of this beautiful character and the equally-lovely actress who portrayed her, it was extremely curious that she was not represented more prominently in this episode. Unless I missed it, there wasn’t even an “In loving memory” tag dedicated to this very special lady….how strange!
The “In Memory of Susan Brown” was shown at the end of an episode months ago.
Thank you for the information, Joe. I thought that was most likely the case, but given this special episode was one which no doubt attracted a wider audience than this soap does on a regular daily basis—i.e., a lot of former GH fans tuned in to see their old favorites—-I expected a bit more than the perfunctory unveiling of a photograph of Gail/Miss Brown. I especially would have appreciated video footage of her ever-elegant character interacting with the featured legacy players taking part in this 56th anniversary salute, as that would have very nicely tied this episode together with a lovely, big bow!
I loved it but yes, the scenes between Monica and Lesley were the best.
They were also the saddest….watching those two laboring down the hallway like little old ladies made for difficult viewing. On the other hand, it was too comical to have them still rehashing old grievances…especially when Lesley couldn’t resist calling Monica a “slut” for the umpteenth time for good measure! Given the conduct of more modern GH-ers, Dr. Quartermaine was a real piker in sexual licentiousness!!! (Just compared to that floozy Lucy Coe alone! And what about Bobbie???)
thought I was one of the best anniversary shows yet !
Thought it was the best anniversary show they have done
It always baffles me. If they CAN write classic soap opera that is moving, and emotional, and true to history…why don’t they???? They trot out the vets once or twice a year for these special episodes…when that’s who they should be writing for and focusing on all along! The scenes are richer and Fuller with the vets. Don’t get me wrong…I think the Ryan killer story was for the most part very layered and well written. I get why Ava had to be front and centre! But this story should have been full of Lucy and Scott and Mac and Felicia and not Carly and Jason. Its like a sequel to a movie where the original major players only have cameos. It does the job…but leaves you wanting more! It is nice that they honour beloved stars who have passed….but why can’t they honour the stars they have had around for 30 and 40 years by giving them story?
Well said, Colin. I so agree with you! It was so good seeing the old faces that I grew up watching every afternoon when I got home from school. It’s proven over and over, the shows that discard their veteran actors and bring on a bunch of newbies, always create fan backlash. When will the producers learn???
The writing wasn’t brilliant, but the delivery by those stellar actors sure was! I was expecting clips earlier in the show and so was a little disappointed at first. But the acting! Those pros really delivered and made me feel like I had seen what they were talking about from all those years ago; years before I started watching. That’s talent!
Congratulations to all who participated in that episode for such compelling work!
Here’s to 56+ more years, GH!
@Rodd….Having video clips interspersed throughout the show when the actual characters were referencing their past storylines would have provided a far more effective and enjoyable method of presenting this episode. This would have offered a more “you were there” experience for viewers like yourself who weren’t initially around when these scenes originally aired! Whilst I was fortunate enough to have watched a great many of those scenes firsthand, I still would have preferred the appropriate clips accompanying that dialogue down memory lane. It would have made it much more special.
Should had shown some Gail flashbacks in scenes with Monica, Scott ect so new viewers could be introduced to and know what a wonderful character Gail was from the shows golden years…show felt good seeing many iconic characters interact with each other tho i did not understand why Lesley is still angry at Monica when both seemed civil and friendly to each other during a visit a few years ago…of course it had to have Sonny and Carly who i guess dont get enough screen time(roll eyes) and a few others we didnt need but i let it pass-it is what it is…at least we didnt have Ava verses Nina in who chews up the most scenery…showing the iconic characters made the show really feel like GH the way it should be-these character need to be used more often instead of like Christmas decor that comes out very briefly then put away for another year!!!
Heeey Jimh ..
I, like many others, have never heard of Gail.
The entire episode was a huge HUH?
It was made for the ol’ timers, only.
All others, like me, that came to Y&R well after that era hadn’t a clue about what in the heck was going on. It was nonsense to us.
I have not a clue as to who was whom and the whole of it was a complete HUH??
They could had done more with the ep to help give a clue to what a wonderful era that was for all you youngins-lol
HEy su, all the more reason it should have had clarity.
Well put, Jimh! I could have done without Sonny and Carly, too, not to mention, Alexis and Julian, Franco, Stella and Curtis! This episode should have included only the nearest and dearest to Dr. Gail during her years on GH! (And copious clips of the lovely lady doc in action with those she chose to assemble in her honor.) But it was lovely to see Epiphany back where she belongs, and the timeless Liz included in the episode. (That girl simply does not age…amazing!) And the ever-luminous Laura whose smile still lights up the room! (I would have loved to have seen more of her past with the remorseful Scott depicted, as well as dwelling upon her hopeful future with Kevin…Even after four decades, Genie remains the star of the show!) Monica looked really wonderful and it was a kick to see that Lesley couldn’t forego her momentary slut-shaming of her former foe even now….LOL. (Some clips of their famous fracas would not have gone remiss!) And speaking of trashy antics, how gratifying was it to see that after all her whoring and hustling, Lucy Coe has ended up alone with nothing more to show for her efforts than a well-earned tattered reputation and a rackful of flashy eveningwear…that pretty much sums up her character for me! Hah!
As usual..well said comments from you…agree 100%
Thank you, Jimh! Very nice to hear from you! Hope you are well…
Don’t forget Franco is Scotty’s son. And Franco works at the hospital.
Yeah…. a serial killer who works as an “art therapist” for children. Who the Hell made that hiring decision??
Sounds like a decision which would have emanated from your own Human Resources Department, Satan! However, I do believe it was Dr. O.’s call…certainly not one of her best, although I do miss her running GH. There was never a dull moment when “Mutter” was in charge!.
How can we forget, cooks 7570? They never let us overlook that sorry fact, although Heather’s maternal half of Franco’s DNA-equation seem to have been conveniently swept under the rug as of late…Her role as “Mommy Dearest” has been diminished to nil….about time Franco visits his mom in her high-security cuckoo’s nest, since there’s no way on God’s green earth that we wouldn’t have heard a peep from her for such a long expanse….something surely must be up with this legendary GH schemer??? (I should have thought that our canny super snoop Heather would have had the goods on Ryan being alive….) As for Franco’s specious links to both Lee and Gail? They never met him, he has no biological ties to either of them since Scotty was adopted by his “father” when Lee married his birth mom and given Franco’s not-so-illustrious past as a serial killer, I highly doubt that the upstandling Baldwins felt any sort of pride or kinship to the illegitimate result of Scott and Heather’s tawdry ‘80’s fling!
Bit of a disappointment honestly. After months of build up about “what was in Gail’s will” we get envelopes full of confetti?
Flashbacks would have been better in context, not mashed together at the end with some dumb song playing over them.
And Frodd didn’t need to be there at all. Yeah I know we’re supposed to pretend he’s a “Baldwin” now, but he never even met Gail. Or Lee. Or any other member of their family apart from Scotty. And for Frodd to be in the flashback montage at all…. It’s a General Hospital anniversary show, for Hell’s sake. So of course Frank Valentini is going to make it all about his pet interloper.
Good to see Leslie Webber again, at least. Can still verbally spar with Monica… though watching those two now, it’s hard to imagine them ever in a full on hair pulling cat fight with each other.
The confetti was anti climatic for sure.
Why Franco, why Julian (JULLIAN? REALLY?), Stella, and other characters having nothing to do with Gail and her legacy character? Laura and her mother Lesley? PURE GOLD! The rest?
A perfunctory episode-appearing done out of duty rather than compassionate commitment.
What a waste to have Laura reminding viewers what a swell fella Sonny is when we could have had a scene between her and Bobbi recalling how they started out as enemies fighting for Scotty.
I thought it was a beautiful memory brought together with understanding
As I mentioned in the other thread about this episode, I found this anniversary episode excellent, with one major exception: As pointed out by others, the need to prop up the character of Sonny was an incongruous, unconscionable, incomprehensible plot point that stood out like a sore thumb. Saddling the much beloved Laura with the herculean task of affirming the goodness of polarizing Sonny was a gratuitous waste of time in this milestone, otherwise special, episode.
Sadly, I see this trend of propping up the character of Sonny at all costs to continue until GH wraps up its historic run.
On future episodes:
Sonny helps a little old lady cross the street!
Sonny, in a random act of kindness, pays the tab for unfamiliar fellow restaurant diners!
Sonny rescues a cat from a tree!
Sonny donates a kidney to a complete stranger!
Sonny cures cancer!
Sonny walks on water!
Sonny is issued sainthood status!
(SMile!)
In keeping with the theme of Laura validating and propping up Sonny by stating that she has always known he was a good person, here is some dialogue from future episodes:
Monica: “You know, Sonny, you’ve been more of a son to me than A.J. ever was. He was nothing but trouble. When you killed A.J., you were actually relieving me of my long suffering. So, thank you, Sonny. And I apologize that it took me so long to realize that.”
Scotty: “Sonny, I’ve been meaning to thank you for helping my little girl Karen when she was so young. You taught her how to dance, and you who gave her the confidence to put herself out there.”
Ava: “Sonny, please give me a moment of your time. I just want to thank you for helping me become self-aware and self-actualized. All those times you yelled at me and threatened me, you selflessly did it for my benefit! I didn’t get it at the time, but you were giving me tough love in order for me to comprehend how worthless I was, at rock bottom, and how I could only go up from there. I am not where I want to me, but I am in your debt for all those nudges.”
Mac: “Sonny, we haven’t always been friends, but you should know how much I admire you. When I think back on all those times, as police chief, I threatened to put you away for life, and you always stayed one step ahead of me. It takes cunning intellect to remain unscathed and out of jail, given all the crimes you’ve committed, including murder. I’m blown away at how adept you’ve been at remaining a free man, despite the best efforts of our police force as well as myself. May I give you a hug?”
Bobbie: “Sonny, this Christmas, why don’t YOU read the story of the first Christmas to the children in the hospital? You’re a much better reader than Steve Hardy ever was!”
Join the discussion…Hey James this was hysterical! Thanks !!
Thanks so much, Melissa!
Excellent suggestions, James! You should be writing for GH, although I’m not sure your tongue-in-cheek suggestions would be well-received by those who seem to think that Sonny the Great walks on water! Having said that, all I can is add “Encore, encore!!!” (I had a few ideas of my own regarding other characters to add to the “Sonny Songs of Praise” scenario…How about an entire episode featuring the ghosts of all those dead people he wronged??? It would be sort of a reverse take on “It’s A Wonderful Life!”)
Thanks so much, Shay! I know I only scratched the surface. As we know, there are many more characters Sonny has “wronged!” I wholeheartedly support and like your idea for an “entire episode featuring the ghosts of all those dead people he wronged.” Maybe it could morph into a whole week. “This week on General Hospital…”
Looks like something I’ll look up and watch, although I am happy to fast forward through anything that involves Laura saying anything nice about Sonny – part of my Laura love stems from the fact that she’s told him off more than once over the years and has maintained that. If she’s lost that, it diminishes the character for me. He’s not a good guy. Never was/never will be. Geez, they just had a storyline a few months ago that was all about him having killed a guy when he started out in the mob. These writers can’t even remember their own work!

Adam Huss Makes Another Return to General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine
Nikolas Cassadine will be back on your screens next week but now via Pentonville. That means, that actor Adam Huss is back for a visit for all-new episodes of General Hospital.
In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.
Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support. I don’t take it for granted for a second! (Even when I can’t answer 😊) #generalhospital”
Photo: ABC
Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.
So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

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.
Courtesy/ABC
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.

REPORT: Nicholas Chavez Not Returning to General Hospital
For those who were holding out hope that Daytime Emmy winner and fan favorite, Nicholas Chavez would be returning to General Hospital after filming his leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters anthology, it looks like those hopes have been dashed.
According to a report from TV Line, although unconfirmed from General Hospital or a representative for Chavez, the actor will not reprise his role as Spencer Cassadine on the long-running ABC soap opera and continue the love story of Sprina opposite Tabyana Ali (Trina, GH).
Chavez was cast as Lyle Menendez over the the summer of 2023 for the second season of Murphy’s limited Monsters series on Netflix. 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.
Photo: ABC
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.
Photo: ABC
TV Line shared that ‘multiple sources’ are confirming that Chavez is not returning to the ABC soap opera, which is what many had suspected might be the case once he left for this major starring role in a Ryan Murphy project. Chavez has been relatively quiet on social media for months.
Photo: ABC
The Michael Fairman Channel spoke with Nicholas Chavez for a virtual interview when he first joined the show in 2021, and spoke to him right after when he won the Daytime Emmy in 2022 – you can see those below.
No word yet on when Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story will debut on Netflix, but it is assumed later this year.
So, what do you think about the news of Nicholas Chavez not returning to his role as Spencer Cassadine on General Hospital? Comment below.
