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.

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 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.

With the Melrose Place revival the talk of the town, now Jack Wagner (ex-Frisco, GH, ex-Nick, B&B and ex-Peter Burns, MP) has weighed-in on it and if he would show up in the new series if it should find a home.
Currently, CBS Studios is developing a reboot starring Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga and Laura Leighton. But what is Dr. Peter Burns were to show up alive?
As those who saw the end of the original MP know, Peter and Amanda (Locklear) faked their deaths and then tied the knot with Peter on a beach, supposedly in a “happily ever after” scenario.

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.”
Wagner added, “That was a great finale to be included in, especially with Heather. If I’m asked to come back, I’d absolutely entertain that.”
Photo: Fox
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.

Breaking NewsApril 17, 202451st Annual Daytime Emmy Nominations Set to Be Announced
I love the return of Brash & Sassy. Brings back lots of memories.
Encouraging move by Y&R. Between revisiting Brass & Sassy vs. Jabot plus Jill, Colin, and Cane plotting to take Chancellor back from Victor, it reminds me of the kind of stories that made Y&R the #1 soap. Hopefully Mr. Pratt’s writing will be up to the task.
One thing Pratt wrote well when he wrote for Melrose Place was the corporate battle for DnD advertising, I am confident that Pratt can write this particular story well. He just needs to remember that his over-the-top plots he wrote on MP worked well for primetime and this is daytime, don’t sacrifice character for plot. He wrecked AMC, imo.
Richard…so true. When Chuck Pratt wrote for Melrose Place in the 1990’s, that D&D Advertising corporate stuff (in my opinion) was such AWESOME STORYTELLING!!!!! With that, Pratt knew WHAT THE HELL he was doing!!!!! Other stuff on other shows over the years…not so much. Nope.
Yawn
We shall see, Bill. I am leaning towards agreeing with you, but I am such a loyal fan of Y&R, I want to ‘get into’ the storylines. Here we go again…recycled stories. Isn’t it time for Victor to go to Florida for the winter, wear his bermudas, pack some vodka for Nikki, and do some birdwatching?
Then, there is this silly, infantile storyline ….you know, the love triangle between Jack, Phyl and whats-her-name. How old are these people?! Lordy Lord; they could be grandparents! Seriously, does anyone care about that idiotic wig? Or to whom it belongs? Or who’s the mean High Schooler, and who is behind the infantile shenanigans? If this is the way TPTB want to go, then come up with a mystery with substance….challenge us. Do not have two immature grannies play peek-a-boo with a wig. All for Jack? Yuck….
“…Isn’t it time for Victor to go to Florida for the winter, wear his bermudas, pack some vodka for Nikki, ”
you are giving them a sense of humor
stop it
LOL
as much as i’d love to see Y&R
i’m a non-watcher devotee
cajole and whet are not part of the newman mix.. unless it’s to see Victoria meld her presence and realize her own family… forget about your immediate family already… align with the Abbott and forego Newman crest… i’d laugh out loud press scream soapbox the wicked witch is dead manly egotistical got it up further than we’d ever dream for
snore Eric
I blame you : the Newman falter, abysmal, lacks, spiritless,with no passion
spiral with no control
the end
I second that YAWN!
I take the Phyllis/Kelly baloney even a step
further back…to me, it seems more like junior
high school. So ridiculous, not to mention
boring.
I do not care a fig about that wig.
Now when I see that trio of juveniles (Jack, too, really),
I just FF.
Amelia Heinle is not a brass and sassy actress. TPTB need to cut their losses with AH and recast the role.
Amelia Heinle was OK on AMC where she had a supporting role. I’m really not much of a fan of her take on Victoria Newman. If they recast the role with someone better I would be onboard with that. I agree she’s not Brash & Sassy, she’s more like Mopey & Snoozey.
I have felt this way for years. Ugggghhhh…..
Amelia Heinle is not convincing as a businesswoman brains. Heather Tom was the reason the original Brash & Sassy storyline seemed authentic.
I love the use of history in soaps, and the corporate intrigue is what interested me in Y&R in the first place. So while I like the concept, the “Brash & Sassy” brand name seems very outdated to me. I do like the fact that Y&R is returning to the corporate-based storylines. For awhile there it seemed like every character was in the food service/hospitality industry, which to me isn’t as exciting or glamorous as the cosmetics & fashion industry. JMO.
Y&R has really improved lately. Keep it up!
I could be on board with this so if this is Chuck Pratt’s doing I like it let’s stop making women just baby makers. Victoria was always a strong independent woman until LML started her reign of terror with this show. We have had two writing regimes have her in a storyline with who is the Daddy enough already.
Amelia heinle can not pull this off. Ugh!
That is my problem with this actress. She can play a weepy housewife, but a female executive with ballz, NOT.
How do you know? She has not been given material to work with! Don’t get me wrong Heather Tom was a great Victoria but she is not coming back let’s give AH a chance. I for one thought she deserved her emmy last year lets see what she can do let’s give her a chance! She just might surprise us
I concur… WHAT is the Y&R production TEAM doing ?
that is a ridiculous picture of a woman in her prime…. it’s laughable… and arguably a disservice to the actress to be photoed as such
which reminds me of when… the nuBilly started on the show… the behind the scenes tried to have Victoria fix her hair so youngish… in braid fashion… LOL
she belongs with Stitch… and should be bestie BFF with Ashley… and mature interests…. she is after all… sharing her daughter with billy… Ashley needs to get over herself… and just share with Victoria… and they in turn need to bond and get rid of Victor, Nikki, and Nikolas….
done
I am an advocate of giving second chances. But, I must agree with you Lou. I do like Amelia immensely ……however, not in a business suit, per se.
She has been playing Victoria for ten years. She is no newbie deserving a second chance. How many chances does she need in the span of ten years? I liked her best with Billy a Miller, albeit she was a bit of a Debbie Downer….but she was ok.
I do not, however, want a replacent. We know what we have in Amelia as Victoria; with a recast, we might get someone worse.
Loving this and glad they are focusing more on business storys. I hope they revisit Glo by Jabot sometime soon too. Glad Amelia didnt leave show.
I LOVE revisiting YR’s history, Brash and Sassy brings back fond memories and this is a hopeful sign of the new headwriter. However, heather tom had this role nailed with this company and story in particular and AH does not embody “brash” or “sassy” by ANY means!!! She needs to run a comb through her hair first!!! HT will ALWAYS be Victoria Newman Howard!!!!!!
Amelia / Victoria is Nun not a playar..
Victoria was horrible in her kidnapping story lol..(can only imagine this one aaha)
She sat on the floor by the door and later had lunch with her kidnapper and when a the gun was fired she looked like she was having tea..
Fact is; Victoria is at her best being a Y&R homebound ornament ..
The only thing that would get Victoria up and going is;
Stitch chasing her around the house with a pig poker / that would get her jumping/moving!!
hell
if Stitch was chasing me with any thing… i’d relent respond trigger and give back
men are easy
men respond
men blank up stairs and puff up their best and well…
It would make sense if there was a strong youth presence on the show like there was when Brash and Sassy first came onto the scene– but Vicky is hardly Brash or Sassy anymore – but most of the cast isn’t Young or Restless either so why not– I like blasts from the past; If they really want to make my day they should have Katie Logan from B&B be involved in crossover for the relaunch of the line (aka Heather Tom) that would be a hoot — I would love to hear say a line like “Oh yeah Brash and Sassy, I used wear that brand when I was a teenager.” Oh well a girl can dream can’t she?
AARP has people of 50 as senior citizens and they get discounts and stuff as that..
Y&R has many senior citizens (not a lot of young and restless peoples) or some are approaching that half century mark..
People to be considered ”young” in business and advertisers etc etc is under 40 (over 39 is the youth/young killer)
Y&R tries to keep the old appearing as being young..
EB/Victor seems to be one and only who is natural..
Perhaps Y&R needs a name/title change.. lol
All the facelifts, botox, wigs and hair extensions will keep them young as they were 20 or 30 ago when they first came on screen as actually Young ‘ and restless…
Don’t knock the older generation. They deserve respect. Soaps are the one genre that does not discriminate against the older generation. I look forward to seeing the older crowd doing their thing day in and day out because I belong to that generation. I have been watcing Y&R since I was a teenager. I also know that the daytime actors seem to live longer doing what they do and they look great doing it. There was once a time when they were not considered as real actors. Some of our highest paid actors on the big screen today started out in soaps.
I do not think you are knocking the ‘older generation’, su. I do not want to speak for you, or put words in your mouth, but I understand what you are saying. Yes, we need all ages, all genres on soaps…it’s what makes the world go ’round. However, these ‘older’ people should be given roles appropriate for their ages. As you try to point out, Su, no amount of Botox or hair extensions is going to change the fact that they are aging…..and, most look gorgeous….with or without the ‘artificial aid”.
For instance, Kelly/Cady looks ridiculous in those tight and I’ll-fitting dresses. She is way too voluptuous…..makes her look cheap. I’m with you, pal….if these actresses/actors want respect, then TPTB should dress them accordingly and give them appropriate roles.
Brash and Sassy?
More like Corroded and Rusty.
the headline alone… just rankles and riles the nerve endings
who gives a hoot ( blankety blank expletive ) what Victor wants any more?
it’s ad nauseam passed the point of does not belong
Eric Braeden
so much retread… for Victoria and Nikolas
Nikolas has lost his manhood
Nikki pines for nothing more than distilled imbibe… can’t see passed her lost life
Victor makes you cringe in embarrass… fade near the exit
Victoria , the one Newman… with humane affect stirs her own
Nothing Brash or Sassy about AH’s Victoria Newman. This storyline only worked because of HT. Not a fan of this recycled storyline. It will only pale in stark comparison to the original.
Y&R focused on a rivalry between two or more people or families in romance or business. It uses stock themes like a cinderella (who is a rival of the male protagonist’s evil girlfriend), two brothers after one woman (or two sisters after one man) or mistaken/unknown parentage. Typically, the hero is known a month in advance..
Y&R stories most always pit one against another= boring..
As now with Kelly and Phyllis.. Jack will be made a fool of and Phyllis will be proven right.
Never any intrigue..
I love y&r. They just drag too long with their episodes. I miss the old Billy, Lily, Heather, Adam, Phillis and Victoria. Where is Maxs, Tyler, Brock, Sophia, JT, Chile and Jack , Daniel and Jack son?
Yes can’t wait until Victoria brings Brash&Sassy back. They done really well with that cosmetic!!!!!!!!
Yeah Right!!!! Snorboria bringing Brash & Sassy back is like Ford Motor Co. reintroducing the Edsel.
I am glad to see Y&R bringing back real llife events such as Michael’s cancer. My only problem with this storyline is that Michael would sacrifice his life for the sake of not being able to please his wife in bed. True love and devotion goes beyond the bedroom. It’s all or nothting. They make these two out to be the ultimate couple but as soon as there’s a heavy trial such as this prostate cancer he throws the other half of the relationship out of the window. I thought marraige involved two. I thought you became one whole person when you took that sacred oath to Jehovah our loving father. Oh! I forgot! That’s not the way of the world anymore. As soon as the going gets tough the tough gets going, Let me never forget that again.
