Nicholas Chavez

Nicholas Chavez exited General Hospital on January 31 when Spencer Cassadine was killed off, falling overboard from a boat into the Seine in Paris while with Trina.

Chavez’s leave was supposed to be 3-months long but is now permanent and there is no word of any recast at this time.

The actor left to star in the second season of Netflix’s anthology, Monster.

Chavez will portray one of the Menedez brothers.

According to TV Line, “GH does not intend to bring in a new actor to portray Spencer while Chavez is away.”   

“It’s changed everything about me,” Chavez previously told People about the impact General Hospital has had on his career. “Before the show, I was selling cars in Florida. I live across the country now. I was driving my dad’s old Jeep and now, I’m sitting in a car that I paid for. This show has given me the opportunity to become my own guy. It’s also given me the gift few people get in life — the privilege to earn an income doing what I love to do every single day. If I’m not the luckiest guy in the world, I’ve got to be damned close.”

SoapsSpoilers wishes Chavez all the success in life after soaps.
