Nicholas Alexander Chavez Axed From ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’: Will He Return to General Hospital as Spencer?

General Hospital spoilers are sending shockwaves through the soap world—Nicholas Alexander Chavez, beloved by fans as Spencer Cassadine, has been cut from the highly anticipated horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer. Now, a single question is echoing across Port Charles and beyond: Could this unexpected twist bring Chavez back to the daytime drama that made him a star?

Hollywood’s Loss Could Be GH’s Gain

It all started back in November 2024, when Chavez’s casting in the latest I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot made headlines. Fans of both the actor and the franchise were thrilled to hear that Chavez would share the screen with Lola Tung, the breakout star of The Summer I Turned Pretty. The two filmed scenes designed to kick off the movie with a bang—until, in a cruel twist of fate, those scenes were left on the cutting room floor.

Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson addressed the decision in a recent interview with People, admitting, “It sucks because you don’t want to do that to those actors.” Despite her affection for the footage, it simply didn’t fit the final vision for the film. For Chavez, it meant his big-screen moment was over before it began—a tough blow for a young actor on the rise, and a disappointment for the legion of fans who had been waiting to see him shine.

But as one door closes, another may open. Chavez’s setback in Hollywood has reignited hope among General Hospital devotees. Ever since Spencer Cassadine’s dramatic exit, viewers have speculated endlessly about his fate. Was he truly gone, or just biding his time for a jaw-dropping comeback? The absence of Spencer has left a gaping hole in the fabric of Port Charles, and the possibility of Chavez’s return has fans buzzing with excitement.

Of course, in the unpredictable world of soaps, recasting is always a possibility. But for many, Nicholas Alexander Chavez is the one and only Spencer. His chemistry with the cast, his charisma, and his ability to bring complexity to the Cassadine legacy have made him irreplaceable in the eyes of viewers.

Could a Return Be in the Cards?

So far, there’s been no official word from Chavez or the General Hospital team. The actor has been focused on building his career in primetime and film, and this recent setback may only be a temporary detour.

A return to General Hospital would not only thrill longtime viewers but could also set the stage for brand-new drama. The Cassadines have always been at the heart of Port Charles intrigue, and Spencer’s reappearance could shake up storylines in ways no one expects.
