Are Spencer And Trina Leaving ‘General Hospital?’
Spencer Cassadine and Trina Robinson have swiftly become fan favorites on General Hospital. However, a confirmed upcoming absence of one-half of the couple has fans wondering whether or not both actors will leave the series. Here is what has been revealed about the future of Spencer and Trina.
Nicholas Chavez Leaves General Hospital
Nicholas Chavez, who plays Spencer, will temporarily be leaving GH. He is leaving Season 61 of the long-running soap opera to film Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez, where he will play the role of Erik Menendez. Chavez’s hiatus from General Hospital will begin after the January 31 episode.

Rather than recasting the role, the show will pick Spencer’s arc back up after Chavez returns from filming on Monsters. The show was originally slated to start filming in fall 2023, but it was postponed due to the WGA and Sag-Aftra strikes.
Even though her television beau won’t be present, Tabyana Ali will continue Trina’s storyline on GH. It is unclear how they will explain Spencer’s absence from the show, but his hiatus will only be temporary.
The pair joined General Hospital in Season 59. Chavez replaced Nicolas Bechtel in the role of Spencer in July 2021. Ali took over the role of Trina from Sydney Mikayla in March 2022.
Sprina Is A Match Made In GH Heaven
Long-time General Hospital fans often refer to the couple as “Sprina,” a combination of Spencer and Trina. Many viewers have loved their on-screen romance and see them as a fictional power couple. Chavez has said that it is easy to work with Ali.

When he initially entered the role of Spencer he worked with Ali’s predecessor. He said, at the time, he was confident in the General Hospital casting director to find the perfect fit for the role. Many “Sprina” fans would agree that he did just that.
At first, Chavez said that he was “terrified” of Ali at first because she was so pretty, but he quickly grew to love her. “I could find many things that I loved about Tabyana that made finding my way into our romantic relationship on screen a breeze,” he told Soap Opera Digest.
Ali expressed similar feelings for Chavez saying, “First of all, his work ethic and his ability to be attuned to detail…I admire that a lot. When he’s in his mode, he’s really in his mode, and I really appreciate that about him.”
GH has become the longest-running series in television history. Its first episode aired on April Fool’s Day in 1963. Since then, viewers have been watching drama and countless love stories unfold. Spencer and Trina’s romance has become a fan-favorite.
General Hospital airs on weekdays on ABC at 3 p.m. EST. New episodes are also available via the network’s website, Hulu, Fubo, Apple TV, and Sling.
