Nicholas Alexander Chavez‘ leave of absence from "General Hospital" has gone from temporary to permanent.

Although there’s been no official confirmation from GH, multiple sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that the actor behind Spencer Cassadine — who vacated the role earlier this year to shoot Season 2 of Ryan Murphy’s Netflix anthology "Monster" — will not be returning to the ABC soap after all.

Chavez’ indefinite departure was hinted at in late March when, as eagle-eyed fans noticed, his name abruptly disappeared from the show’s closing credits.

It’s official. Nicholas Alexander Chavez has confirmed he is not returning to "General Hospital". In a message on X, Chavez, who portrayed Spencer in the ABC daytime drama, expressed his gratitude to fans.

“I’m so appreciative of the opportunity that GH gave me, and I wouldn’t be as busy as I am professionally if it weren’t for the talented producers, writers, directors and fellow actors,” Chavez wrote.

“Frank Valentini [executive producer] is a mentor and a friend, and we’ve had some pretty extensive conversations about my future on the show. While there are no current plans for me to return, we are still talking very openly about future possibilities for Spencer in Port Charles.”

“Beyond the people I’ve already mentioned, 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. Words fail to show the depth of my gratitude, thank you, I love you all very, very much.”
