"A GH spokesperson declined to comment for this story. A rep for Chavez has not responded to TVLine’s request for comment."

So neither ABC/GH or Chavez's team has confirmed this.

Recasting ideas?

Wouldn't it be better to let it be as is and ship Trina away?

Luke and Laura like? Say what you will about that troubled pairing, but they helped save GH and launch the Golden Age of soaps. Who cared of Sprina?

Bring back Bechtel!

Yay, no more Sprina! Please don’t recast Spencer. Let him stay dead and ship Trina off to art school in Paris.

I'm still suffering from PTSD from having to tolerate him as a kid actor. Actually, he was a pretty good actor, but SO annoying. The writers turned him into a caricature. I think that's what I objected to. Just looked up a photo of the now older Nicolas Bechtel and I could tolerate him probably, but, yes, I agree, ship Trina somewhere, preferably in a shipping container from which she can never escape. (Yikes, that's a little harsh, isn't it?)

I left a link to a recent photo (might be the same photo you found?) at this thread back in March:

Thanks for posting that, bratface! The one I found doesn't really look like any of those; actually looks like a different person. Of course, now I can't find it to share, not even in my "history" or I'd post it.

I thought it was a bit misleading to include the image of Joe Locke though. And when I first saw the article the 'twitter' photo was 'embedded' in the article (I did not have to click a link).

You also have to remember nick isn’t a soap lifer like eden or chad it was just a stop like when tequan Richmond was on the show and left for bigger roles in movies etc

After General Hospital, Tequan Richmond did a handful of episodes on two TV shows I've never heard of and a bad TV movie. He hasn't done anything in 4 years. So the argument that he left for "bigger roles" is laughable and untrue.

"While there are no current plans for me to return, we are still talking very openly about future possibilities for Spencer in Port Charles. "

That's about as definitive as we're gonna get, and even that isn't definitive per se. He's not closing the door for good just for now.

"I want to take some time to thank and honor the GH fan base… especially the Sprina fans… who must be THE most loyal and kind fan base in the universe of entertainment. "

🤣 Yeah, all 10 of them!

Pretty much saying gh is the last thing on his mind at this moment he’s not eagerly awaiting to return lol
