the guy who plays spencer is a rlly good actor:D

[@allismith77]

This is one of his first acting gigs. He’s doing a fabulous job. He’s really coming into his own in this role. Spencer is such a unique character -and Nicholas Chavez is playing it so well.

[@Rose_16-123]

Nicholas Chavez is one to watch. For this being his first real gig and only a couple of months in, to be handling material like this so well...WOW. I don’t know the last time a new actor has impressed me so quickly.

[@homeowner07]

Totally agree. He's amazing

[@rhythmchyc3089]

Yes I’m stunned by how drastically his acting has improved. I haven’t seen actors start so green join a soap and in the span of six weeks deliver an Emmy worthy performance. Never.

[@seniorqueen08]

Yes! He is amazing at portraying Spencer. A true talent.

[@ilahmaecunanan2629]

Nicholas Alexander Chavez did a great job. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@charlenetanner9457]

Indeed! Hand him an Emmy right now!!!

[@chrispeplinski7306]

He has been a good spencer

[@OneGaurdian]

It's not a mystery where Spencer got this devious nature from. Nikolas, without realizing it, taught him well.

[@angelicagarcia-wj3ee]

Iike father like son

[@jlilcutie]

Even if Spencer is guilty this was not the way to confront him. Especially with the dirt that Nikolas has done.

[@maryr4277]

Spencer is just like his father! He learned to be that way from Nicholas. Both spoiled and entitled. Spencer was the one terrorizing Eva, he is a good actor! True, Nicholas went about it the wrong way! He met well, just went about it the wrong way!

[@maryr4277]

Now Spencer has a crazy girlfriend doing worse things than he does. She is the one that set Ava's car on fire! He needs to get away from that girl!

[@kristinazubic9669]

Spencer's NOT wrong. And Nik looks like a true Cassadine, wearing that!

[@harrisonchase9540]

Agreed

[@SonnyWinning]

That's Nice Of Trina to be By Spencer's Side. 💯

For an upcoming actor nick chavez has been better than expected.

[@andreaumba3509]

This week's episode was totally insane!!! I was so scared for Spencer got stabbed. Nikolas was such a bad person and how could he do something like that? Can't believe that broke my heart so bad

[@priscilliacarter1144]

Spencer dodged this one but he is responsible for breaking into Ava art gallery and maybe more the mystery lady is an all together different grudge on Ava

[@MrEriclovessookie]

Or maybe the mystery woman is Spencer’s partner…

[@rhythmchyc3089]

It was hard to watch the scene where Nikolas stabs Spencer. It’s really scary.

[@MrEriclovessookie]

I always detested Spencer, it didn’t help that little boy actor was so horrible at acting and written like spoiled brat that no one wanted to be around. As least the new guy can actually act!

[@harrisonchase9540]

I hate to say this Nikolas but you did prove to be a true Cassadine alright. Helena and Stavros would be proud.

[@PrinceNikolas]

Yes, I'm well aware that I'm continuing the Cassadine family tradition! You don't need to keep reminding me.

I will say that I felt bad for spencer

[@heatherholland3596]

Spencer is a good actor. Don't believe him

[@shahannagrey8427]

Spencer is able to be convincingly angry about the accusations , because he is genuinely angry at both his father and Ava for different reasons. That was his years of repressed feelings just exploding. It just happened to cover his guilt.

[@gabelogan5877]

How the hell is Spencer being all self righteous when he's terrorizing Ava and threatening to kill a little girl. Give. Me. A. Break.

[@momcgill-smith1221]

That’s exactly how I feel!! Thank you for sharing your message

[@kekwayblaze3176]

Spencer has always been selfish, entitled, self centered and self righteous even as a child. This is how he is. He was spoiled as a child by his father and now he resents his father to making him believe he was dead for years.

[@Asiacbrown80]

Nick has pretty much put others before his son his whole life. I remember that being a fear for Nick years ago. Nick tried. But there's an irony here with Carly showing up. Part of the reason she and Jax kept John/ Spencer from Nik was because they believe they'd protect Spencer and provide a better foundation. Carly couldn't even play that card or throwing that in Niks face because playing it was a double edged sword. Carly/ Jax were wrong but one moment she could play that card.

[@sarahparker40443]

Are they going to be shocked as hell when they really find out Spencer is really doing this to Ava just like Nicholas told him can't nobody tell that man that he don't know his son his son Nicholas knows Spencer better than anybody and he knows his ways and how far he would go because after all he did teach him

[@ilovetosing2008]

Without Helena to terrorize the Cassadine family, they have to fill the void and do it themselves.

[@kekwayblaze3176]

Helena never terrorized her family, she tried to control their lives to the point Nikolas poisoned her. But she did terrorize the rest of Port Charles. The only person Helena feared was Valentin.

[@ilovetosing2008]

@@kekwayblaze3176 I think Nikolas (and, especially, Alexis) would beg to differ. Not to mention towards the end of her life, she did get Sam dragged into it.

[@Blueskytoday]

The spencer story line will go on for a long time.....He had someone blow up Ava's car

[@JarvisBrodie]

Is it just me or did General Hospital almost head into a storyline based off of a 90s Teen Horror movie?

[@audreyedwards96]

To me Spencer is to obvious. It is easy to set up Spencer and have Nikolas think it was Nikolas. The person doing this is a pro. Maybe Helena maybe Victor r the nurse connected to Shilo. There r many possibilities besides Spencer. Remember Ava has a long list of enemies besides Spencer and so does Nikolas

[@josslynjacks3189]

Poor Spencer! His father really did him dirty. God, did Mr. Cassadine even consider what might happen if my guard went on full blown protection mode?

[@PrinceNikolas]

I guess I didn't. I'm glad your guard didn't do that though.

What if Spencer is really guilty and payed someone like Ryan Chamberlain, Julian Jerome, Cyrus Renault or another Cassadine to do his dirty work and burn Avas car, because we all know he is the person behind the fake blood prank

[@PartialKredit]

I don’t know why Nik isn’t angrier at his Mom and Kevin undermining his parenting right in front of his kid

[@tambamf]

Because he knew he went too far and because his mother was a parent to his son for the years when he was faking his death...

[@xenophanes2558]

But he is guilty!

[@satisfyingnai2080]

He is guilty but his father is also in the wrong because that is no way to deal with your child even if they did do something to hurt you

[@kimbrower7242]

Wow also trina needs to speak up about how Spencer was in port Charles earlier then he said. And pretend to be another guy. Spencer lied to Trina twice . Spencer is so guilty and has his girlfriend Esme helping Spencer.

[@PrinceNikolas]

I guess I really was wrong about Spencer being the stalker. I really thought this whole thing was necessary to teach him a lesson. What if I really have lost my son for good this time? And if it isn't Spencer who's been stalking me and Ava, then who the hell is it?!!

[@judyoger]

I believe that Spencer did commit the fake blood act at the Gallery and possibly the Roach. But the "Nurse" with the dark hair is way to obvious in her glee over Ava's distress. Could it be that Kevin is the one in the Prison, possibly being drugged to keep him "silent" and somehow Ryan replaced Kevin in his marriage to Laura. He would have access through Laura to Wyndamere and access to freely roam GH and Port Charles. Oh the tails we weave when we practice to deceive. Whoa unto the writers of GH, I mean I know we closing in on Halloween but seriously, can we please have some creativity and authenticity. The current story line across the board are jarring and ricocheting from one extreme to another, it's like a wildly swinging pendulum of a manic, here we go up, up, up and then crashing down, down, down. We need smooth transition from one story line to the next, thereby connecting all the citizens of Port Charles. These people are all connected, and have history together, some going back generations. We remember Tyler Christopher as Nikolas getting Spencer from Carly and Jax. Of him holding Spencer as a baby and vowing to be there for his son, and obviously over the past 12 years no one has asked the writers to read a character Dasia, each character should have a volumes long history with no contradictions, from past history to current character development. It is staggering to just think about the disparity in the dates of birth for the characters. No one ages that quickly from infant to 8 years old and then three to four years later a seventeen to eighteen year old. I know that GH is just a story, fantasy if you will, but without some real structure and character history there is nothing believable or remotely worthy of an adult fan's time or loyalty.
