Sprina fans are likely mourning if they haven’t already been.
Speculation about Nicholas Alexander Chavez not returning to General Hospital began a few weeks ago, and now, it seems it’s true.
While the ABC soap does not comment on casting news, the signs have been there for weeks.
Initially, Nicholas was set to take a leave of absence from the ABC soap to film a Ryan Murphy production about Lyle and Erik Menendez. Everything seemed to be worked out as production was supposed to begin last year. However, with the Hollywood strikes, things were pushed back.
Now, it seems that is out the window, and Nicholas Chavez has vacated the role of Spencer Cassadine.
Will General Hospital keep Spencer dead, or plan to recast the role?

While the dual union strikes of the writers and the actors postponed some projects, once the studios and unions reached an agreement, there was a lot of catch-up to play. The postponed schedules meant that this year is seeing a delay in several releases. It also looks as if some studios are going to see some releases grouped together. According to The Hollywood Reporter, popular Netflix shows that would have seen a more dispersed schedule are now bunched for later 2024.

The schedule will also premiere The Night Agent as well as the final season of the popular Karate Kid sequel series, Cobra Kai. The new season of Outer Banks is also on the dock, plus...

Exclusive: Ryan Murphy is quickly expanding his footprint on ABC. The network has given a straight-to-series order to his Dr. Odyssey, with Joshua Jackson set to play the lead and executive produce. The drama, targeted for a fall launch, hails from 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television.
As is the case with any Ryan Murphy series, no details about the premise are being revealed. As the title suggests, Dr. Odyssey is believed to be a medical procedural. According to sources, it is set on a cruise ship. That was the setting for this season’s disaster-themed opener of Murphy’s procedural 9-1-1 in its debut on ABC, and it also harkens back to TV classic The Love Boat.

The second chapter of Ryan Murphy’s Monster anthology at Netflix, which will focus on the Menendez brothers case, has filled two key roles with big names.
Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny will play José and Kitty Menendez, the parents of Lyle and Erik. The brothers’ 1989 killing of their parents sparked a media firestorm, and Lyle and Erik were eventually convicted of murder.
The anthology series will be Bardem’s first major role in an American TV series. Sevigny has worked with Murphy several times in the past, appearing in two seasons of American Horror Story and the forthcoming Feud: Capote vs. the Swans at FX.

When Is The Netflix Series ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ Coming? Well, last fall, Evan Peters’ chilling portrayal of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” captivated and horrified audiences, propelling the limited series to become the most-watched show on Netflix within a week of its release.
It achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming the third series to surpass 1 billion views on the platform in just 60 days. However, despite its financial success, the series was not without controversy.
Some of the victims’ real-life family members criticized the reenactments of their testimonials, finding them “insensitive” due to the visceral and graphic depictions of the tragic events.
Nevertheless, the show garnered acclaim and earned four Golden Globe nominations, with Evan Peters taking home the award for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film.

Nicholas Alexander Chavez will be checking out of General Hospital — but only temporarily — as he films a starring role in Monsters: The Menendez Brothers, the second season of Netflix’s Monster series. According to TVLine, Chavez will take a temporary leave of absence from Gh to shoot Monsters, though it’s unclear when the latter show will start filming, given the ongoing writers’ strike. Chavez has played Spencer Carradine on General Hospital since 2021, appearing in more than 260 episodes of the ABC daytime drama and winning a Daytime Emmy for his performance in 2022. Nick Argo/ABC How Spencer will be written out of the Gh storyline is unknown, though TVLine reports that producers of the long-running soap don’t plan to recast the part during Chavez’s absence. As Variety previously reported, Chavez and Cooper Koch (Power Book II: Ghost) will play the title characters of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

The ten episode series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (read our review Here) was such a huge success for the Netflix streaming service last fall, Netflix ordered two more seasons of the show from creators Ian Brennan and American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy. Last month, it was announced that the second season will be titled Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story – and Deadline reports that Nicholas Alexander Chavez (General Hospital) and Cooper Koch (They/Them) have been cast in the lead roles, with Chavez playing Lyle and Koch playing Erik.

Erik and Lyle were not the initial suspects in the killings, though police began to investigate their involvement in the months after.

Ryan Murphy looks to be heading back to Disney.
Murphy is set to leave Netflix at the end of his five-year overall deal, which was understood to be worth around $300M. Deadline has confirmed that he’s in talks with Disney, although no deal is yet signed.
The move will reunite him with Dana Walden, who is now Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment.
The move is not a huge surprise as many around town have been openly discussing him returning to work with Walden – he was previously under an overall deal at 20th when Walden was there – before moving to the streamer in 2018.
After a slow start at Netflix, with shows such as Hollywood, Murphy has been responsible for some of its biggest recent hits including Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and The Watcher. Prior to Hollywood, he had made series such as Ratched and The Politician for the streamer, which...

As distasteful as it might feel to admit, infamous killers often receive multiple lives in pop culture. This is particularly true in the streaming era, where a need for countless hours of programming can lead streamers to mine true crime stories from the past to enthrall and disturb new generations of viewers.
That’s how 1970s serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer came to be one of 2022’s most unsavory “stars.” Ryan Murphy’s tortuously titled Netflix series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story dramatized Dahmer’s gruesome crimes for a whole new audience. Now, thanks to the announcement of Netflix and Murphy’s “Monster” followup, we have a pretty good idea what true crime event could next captivate the streaming world.
On May 3, Netflix announced that the next installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monster” franchise would actually be subtitled “Monsters” and feature two killers rather than one.

Edgardo Díaz, the founder and manager of the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department over allegations of sexual assault by an ex-member of the group, reports the Los Angeles Times.
There have been a number of sexual abuse accusations against Díaz over the past several decades, but this investigation centers around allegations from Roy Rosselló, who was a teenage member of Menudo during the peak of its popularity. According to the LA Times, it’s the first known criminal investigation against Díaz by law enforcement. “We can confirm a report was taken and it is an ongoing investigation,” the LAPD said in a statement. “Due to victim confidentiality the department is unable to provide further.”
Rosselló previously accused Díaz of sexually abusing him and other members of the group on the Brazilian reality show A Fazenda 7 back in 2014. These allegations resurfaced as...

The common denominator between the Menéndez brothers and one Menudo band member is a grievous one.
In 1996, Lyle and Erik Menéndez were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of their parents, José and Kitty Menéndez. Throughout the sensationalized televised trial, the Beverly Hills brothers alleged that their father Jose had subjected them to years of sexual abuse, which motivated the murders. The prosecution maintained a firm argument that the boys killed José and Kitty for mere financial gain.
Now, three decades later, Peacock’s new three-part docuseries “Menéndez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed” reveals Roy Rosselló’s corroborating claim that he was also sexually abused by the former RCA executive and father of the Menéndez brothers José Menendez.
Menudo was created in 1977 by Edgardo Díaz and grew to be one of the most notable boy bands of all time, attracting crowds of screaming girls like young Latin Beatles. The...

Two sensational stories collide in Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed, a new three-part documentary series airing on Peacock. One helped bring the culture into the era of nonstop TV crime and jurisprudence coverage: the grisly 1989 murder of Jose and Kitty Menendez by their sons, Erik and Lyle. The other involves the former Puerto Rican boy band sensation Menudo, and longstanding accusations of sexual abuse against the group’s Svengali and manager, Edgardo Díaz. The Menendez brothers, currently serving life in prison, have always maintained that their father raped them from the time they were small children.

The Ryan Murphy brand launched another successful product in 2022 with the excessively monikered "Dahmer -- Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story." It was a dark companion piece to the already-plenty-dour "American Crime Story" anthology series (which gave us the shamelessly entertaining "The People v. O.J. Simpson" in its first season), and while it didn't go down especially well with critics, the lead performances from Evan Peters and Niecy Nash earned nominations at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards. This bodes particularly well for the series' 2023 Primetime Emmy prospects. Add in Netflix's claim that the show logged one billion views in its first 60 days of streaming, and this means it's time for another unnerving exploration of notoriously grisly murders.
Up next is "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story." Whatever you think of Murphy's work, you have to admit that this is square in his sensationalistic wheelhouse. Here's everything we...
