Nicholas Chavez's last air date as Spencer Cassadine is set for January 31. The actor is taking time off from the hit ABC soap to work on the next installment of the Netflix anthology series "Monster." The upcoming season will focus on the Menéndez brothers, who murdered their parents in 1989. With Spencer out of the picture, fans are speculating that Esme might not only look for her son but also that she might seek revenge on Spencer and Trina.
Spencer and Trina may be in Paris, but that doesn't mean they are safe. In a new interview with Soap Opera Digest, Tabyana Ali teased what's coming next. While she made it clear that Trina isn't worrying about Esme, thinking she's off in Canada, Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) is worried for the couple's safety.
There will also be some upcoming scenes that will leave "General Hospital" fans on the edge of their seats so much so that Ali has already given a fair warning. She told the publication: "It's emotional, it's high-stakes and you can't miss it. ... I also want to tell everybody to please take their blood pressure pills. People need to do whatever they need to make sure their blood pressure will be down."
