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.
