Nicholas Chavez, who has been portraying long-time General Hospital character Spencer Cassadine since 2021, will be going on hiatus from the ABC soap opera very, very soon. As reported by TVLine, Chavez’s final episode for a while will air this Wednesday, January 31. However, this isn’t a permanent goodbye but rather a temporary absence while Chavez goes to film a leading role in Ryan Murphy‘s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story. It hasn’t yet been explained how the long-running daytime soap will write Spencer out of the series or if he’ll be replaced by another actor, similar to how Courtney Fulk took over from Eden McCoy as Jossyln Jacks while McCoy was on hiatus. As speculated by Michael Fairman, it’s possible Spencer will follow Trina (Tabyana Ali) to Paris, where she is set to study at the Sorbonne for a semester. This would allow the...

Another week, another casting change on General Hospital.
Lindsay Hartley on Tuesday filled in as Sam McCall while Gh mainstay Kelly Monaco took some personal time. But her absence will be brief; she’s back on Friday.

A spokesperson for the show confirmed to Deadline that Eden will return to the show in the new year.
Eden‘s absence from the show is seemingly due to the death of her mother in early November.

If you tuned into General Hospital on Monday, December 18, you might have noticed something a little different about Josslyn Jacks; well, there is a good reason for that. That’s because Courtney Fulk has temporarily replaced Eden McCoy in the role of Josslyn. No official reason for the recasting has been given, but fans have speculated it’s due to personal matters. Last month, McCoy shared that her mother had passed away, so it’s likely she took time off for that reason. Given the soap’s busy schedule, which shoots about a month in advance, it makes sense why McCoy would be absent from the December episodes. The replacement role marks Fulk’s daytime debut; her previous credits include the television movies Killer Cheer Mom and Student Seduction. She is also set to star as Young Sam in the upcoming horror film Devil’s Ride, which is currently in pre-production.
