General Hospital News and Spoilers: Adam Huss Studied Tyler Christopher Before Nikolas And Spencer’s Emotional Scenes

In 1996, the late Tyler Christopher originated the role of Nikolas Cassadine. As the first and most authentic Dr. Prince, Tyler set the stage and paved the way for his successors. Today, his depiction of a true Cassadine lives on to inspire others.

Over the years Tyler Christopher became a household name, and the role of Nikolas Cassadine was iconized by the Emmy winning actor. That’s why it’s not surprising that those who’ve played the role after Christopher look upon his work as a guide.

Fast forward some years and a few Nikolas Cassadine recasts later, General Hospital found the perfect fit. GH fans warned up to Marcus Coloma in no time, becoming comfortable with his portrayal of this beloved character.

General Hospital news reports confirm that GH is onto yet another Nikolas. Adam Huss seems to be the permanent fixture after Coloma’s shocking GH exit. Despite the fan backlash, Marcus Coloma has yet to return. However, Huss has made a big impression on fans after the emotional scene with his tv son. Shockingly, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and his dad Nikolas reunited after dear old dad’s disappearance. The most shocking part of this all is that Nikolas and his son put their issues aside for Ace and for their own relationship. The scenes were natural and raw. Additionally, Nik and Spencer’s emotional scene seem to capture a familiar feel.

General Hospital news and spoilers report that Adam Huss revealed his secret. There’s no question that scenes like those take preparation. Evidently, Adam Huss extensively prepared for his first major Nikolas Cassadine scene. Recently, Huss revealed to Soaps In Depth, “I watched a lot of scenes between Tyler Christopher and Nicolas Bechtel. What a beautiful dynamic they had, especially in the scenes around the fire when Spencer got burned and Nikolas was at the hospital.”

From there Huss then filmed the Nikolas and Spencer reunion scenes with Nicholas Alexander Chavez. GH spoilers reveal Adam’s take on Nik and Spencer’s relationship. He continued to Soaps In Depth, “I believe what transpires between them is sincere, and there is a sincere want and need from Nikolas to reconnect with Spencer. Which is why he is ready to face whatever he is going to face when it occurs. I also believe he would be willing to do whatever it takes in that moment to get what he needs. It’s definitely interesting, the direction it goes in.”

Are you ready to see what becomes of Nikolas, Spencer, Ava, Esme, and Ace?

General Hospital News And Spoilers: GH’s Nicolas Bechtel (ex Spencer Cassadine) Reveals Story Of Being Bullied By GH Co-Star

Nicolas Bechtel is known by many General Hospital fans as little Spencer Cassadine. He’s also known for his roles in Disney Channel productions.

Bechtel gave Spencer his spunky, sassy personality that now actor Nicholas Alexander Chavez carries on and makes his own.

General Hospital news reports reveal Bechtel joined the cast of General Hospital back in 2013. In recent years Nicolas was not in contract when his character was whisked away to boarding school. He was recast in 2021.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Bechtel has disclosed some very unsettling news of how he was bullied by an adult, female co-star. Twitter is the social media platform in which Nicolas Bechtel chose to reveal a disheartening story about a particular time on set at Prospect Studios.

When I was younger I stumbled on a line during rehearsal & the actress opposite of me said ‘hahah, you can’t read,'” tweeted the 17 year old actor. “I replied ‘you are a grown-up & shouldn’t talk to a kid like that.’ I was forced to apologize but I just want to make it clear that I didn’t mean that apology.”

Nicolas Bechtel reflected on the situation but didn’t let it hold him back. He admitted to learning from the experience. He continued his tweets with the following: “A wise man told me that same day that throughout my life I would come across a lot of difficult people,” Bechtel noted. “He explained that it wasn’t about how you respond. It was more about learning how to deal with them. I learned a lot from that wise man.”

General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest the man with the wise words could have been a member of the cast and/or crew but it’s uncertain whether or it the individual was a fellow actor on GH.

Not all experiences with co-stars were negative. Bechtel made a lot of lasting relationships, including his friendship with Brooklyn Silzer (Emma Scorpio Drake). He shares a photo of himself with former co-star, wishing her a happy birthday on April 27th.

Bechtel has gone on to appear in other productions such as Disney’s Stuck In The Middle, and American Horror Stories.

We sure hope Nicolas stays positive and focused despite the naysayers. Good luck in all your future endeavors!

General Hospital Spoilers: Nicholas Alexander Chavez Dishes On Spencer’s Future With Trina, And More GH Details

The role of Spencer Cassadine had big shoes to fill after Nicolas Bechtel no longer fit the role as the character had been SORASed, requiring a recast.

Nicholas Alexander Chavez has taken over as the recast for Spencer Cassadine, son of Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Courtney Matthews (Alicia Leigh Willis).

In a recent interview with Soap Opera News, Chavez let fans in a little on his personal life and his thoughts about working on ABC’s, General Hospital. General Hospital spoilers reveal that when asked about a future for Spencer and Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla), Nicholas replied, “Sprina is only a matter of time I hope!” He added, “Trina is such a special character. She and Spencer share a very specific kind of love that only she can give and receive. It’s a love that takes the form of honesty, compassion, and sincerity. She listens enthusiastically, and he tries to do the same. She’s the only person in Port Charles that can do that for Spencer.”

Nicholas Alexander Chavez described what it was like to audition for the role of Spencer Cassadine. He began staying, “When I got to the studio on the day of my audition there were between 10 and 15 other guys that they had brought in to screen test.” Among all of those, Chavez landed the role. He added, “I had to remind myself that all I can do, ever in life, is do my job to the absolute best of my ability, because it’s the only thing you can control. After my audition with Maura West, which was exhilarating, to say the least, I called my manager and my family on my walk back to my hotel. They asked how I thought it went and I remember truthfully replying, “I don’t know. It went so fast. But, I think good?”

Chavez has done a great job thus far, filling the shoes of Bechtel as Spencer. He’s playing right into the role of the mischievous and misguided son of the Dark Prince Nikolas Cassadine.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors hint Spencer and Trina’s romance hasn’t even begun but definitely isn’t over.

General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer Wants Answers From Ava

Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) is back in Port Charles and all grown up. His arrival, although meant to be kept on the down low, was a splash. He came into town with a mission to destroy his father, Nikolas Cassadine’s (Marcus Coloma) marriage to Ava Jerome (Maura West). He’s trying to play coy, and has pulled the wool over Trina Robinson’s (Sydney Mikayla) eyes. But not everyone is falling for his act.

General Hospital news reports confirmed the recast of Spencer Cassadine as his character was SORASed. Nicholas Alexander Chavez took over the role from Nicolas Bechtel. Although the character has been recast, the character is being written in the same scheming way, just now grown up.

General Hospital spoilers reveal his vendetta against Ava continues. Spencer tries to keep up the innocent act around Nikolas, Trina, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), and Cameron Webber (William Lipton). He’s even playing his grandma, Laura Spencer (Genie Franco’s).

General Hospital previews indicate Spencer’s true colors shine when he has a conversation with Ava, asking her why she is giving his father mixed signals. Spencer wants nothing more than to be reassured that his dad’s relationship with Ava is over. But as he sees it, the love they have for each other hasn’t diminished just because he scared Ava off with his creepy stalker act.

General Hospital rumors claim Nikolas is onto his son, and he is closer to figuring out Spencer is behind the whole thing, more than Spencer realizes. He’ll show his sinister side to Ava, possibly making things clearer to her as well. Spencer better watch it before he’s completely figured out.

Now that the damage is done, and Ava and and Nik have split, General Hospital previews show Spencer trying to make amends with his ex-step mother, Ava.

General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer Has His Sights Set On Trina

Nicholas Alexander Chavez made his debut as the new and SORASed Spencer Cassadine last week. General Hospital news reports confirmed Nicolas Bechtel has been replaced.

His plan to destroy his father’s marriage to Ava won’t sit well with Trina if and when she finds out. Right now, Spencer is laying low from his family and those who know him. Spencer bailed on Trina when she started talking about Cam and Joss, trying to keep his presence in PC on the down low. Even his grandmother Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) is unaware that Spencer is currently in Port Charles.

General Hospital rumors suggest Spencer will work his way closer to Trina and into her group of friends, making the group of three, a foursome once again. The dynamic seems to work now that Josslyn and Cam have declared their feelings for each other, while it seems like Spencer and Trina might eventually become the newest couple among the teens.

She wants to be apart to protect Avery, but Nik isn’t scared and believes he can catch the stalker before any harm is done.

General Hospital comings and goings news reports that the new Spencer will be played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez.
