Less than a year after General Hospital sent Spencer Cassadine plunging into the Seine River, portrayer Nicholas Alexander Chavez is bobbing to the surface. On September 25, the Emmy winner will be back on screen in Ryan Murphy’s new FX thriller, Grotesquerie.

In the 10-episode drama, Niecy Nash-Betts, who won an Emmy for Season 1 of Murphy’s Monster, stars as a police detective who teams up with a nun in hopes of solving a particularly heinous series of crimes. Chavez plays Father Charlie in a cast that also includes Courtney B. Vance and, in a top-secret role, Travis Kelce — yes, Taylor Swift’s significant other, that Travis Kelce.

 

When Chavez left General Hospital in late 2023, it was to accept one of the leads in Season 2 of Murphy’s Monster, about the infamous Menendez brothers. At the time, the actor was expected to return as Spencer once filming on the series was complete. Then it turned out that we had “Seine” the last of him on the soap. Then — and yes, it made our heads spin, too — he tweeted that “we are still talking very openly about future possibilities for Spencer in Port Charles.”

As yet, none have arisen… that we know of. (Better than any other daytime drama, General Hospital knows how to surprise us, so Spencer could up out of the blue anytime!) In the meantime, American Horror Story co-creator Murphy, knowing a good thing when he sees one, immediately cast Chavez in Grotesquerie.

The writer/director/producer, as you may know, has a habit of working over and over again with actors who inspire him. Season 1 of Monster starred frequent AHS lead Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer. All My Children alum Finn Wittrock has appeared in five seasons of AHS and Murphy’s American Crime Story and Ratched.
