Spencer will be 15 in Feb,,
I can only hope he will act like his age on his return..
Last time he came off like an 8 yr old..
15 yr old boys are very savvy smart informed guys
and rarely mamas boys..
So, here hoping Spenser will act as a 15yr old.

I hope Valentin clobbers Nikolas..
I’m for Valentin, I luvs him !!

Su…15 year old boys are also teens with tons of attitude. When you factor this in it’s shaping up to be quite a family reunion coming up.

No, he came back as a teen for three days. He helped Joss and camryn deal with Oscar death.

Oh, this should be good! Can’t wait to see him back on GH.

No one else can play Spencer but him.

Happy he is back

Can’t wait to have you back again! Love your character on GH and look forward to seeing you!!!

Love this kid as Spencer!! He’s a smart little cookie!!

Spencer is a legacy character! He is aSpencer and a Cassadine and deserves to be on as much as the other teens!

He’s not genetically a Spencer as Nikolas wasn’t Luke’s kid. But he is a Corinthos, via his birth mother, Courtney.

I love Spencer, Nicolas Bechtel is a wonderful actor, and owns that character! I cannot wait to see when he sees his dad again!!!

I heard Valentin gets shot and there are a number of suspects including Spenser…

I’m one who won’t shed any tears over this, Jimh. I loathe Valentin and still remember how he used to bully Spencer when he couldn’t best him any other way. Typically coward-like behavior.

Exactly! Valentin needs to go!

me either…its about time some villains get what is coming to them

Absolutely looking forward to seeing him back on the canvas and all the story points for Spencer to play. I hope TPTB don’t disappoint and show us all the feelings that these characters would deal with. The talented actors in these roles will knock it out of the park if given the chance.

Good news that Spencer is back, but he’s gonna look completely out of place if he’s in scenes with Joss & Cameron who used to be the same age as him, but clearly aren’t anymore.

First things first though, and he really needs to rip his dad a new orifice for faking his death and leaving him in the dark for three years. Spencer’s a smart kid with all the Cassadine & Corinthos genes which would have left him entirely capable of being in on the scam to take down Val the Bastard.

I happy Spencer is back

I wonder if his voice is changed or changing. That will take a little getting use to!

Yes, it’s about to go down. I love Spencer, bring him back and wreak havoc on Charlotte, Valatine and port Charles. Yes Spencer come back.

Luv Spencer!! YAY!

No one can play Spencer but HIM!!!
Love to watch and with that attitude!!!! Just Love it!!!! Keep up the good work!

This is the greatest news, especially since shows are too anxious to age the young characters. I was afraid that Spencer would come back as a 20-something. There are some
actors that are so terrific, and are happy to be on the show, that it’s a shame to even think of replacing them. I’m thinking of Robin Scorpio-Drake and Kimberly McCullough.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
