On last week’s General Hospital, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas
Alexander Chavez) revealed to Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) that he believes Trina
Robinson (Tabyana Ali) is innocent in regard to the revenge porn video. Not only does he believe Trina is innocent, but
he also thinks Esme is the guilty party. In an attempt to get Esme to come clean, Spencer lies to her that he has
tracked down her birth mother and provides a DNA test as proof.  Fans have been waiting for Spencer to
confront Esme about the revenge porn video and framing Trina and the scenes did
not disappoint. Chavez’s brilliant
performance showcased Spencer’s anger, frustration, and disgust with Esme and
her actions. Chavez played the beats of the
story and emotion perfectly as Spencer described he so badly wanted to believe in
Esme and that at one point in time he had feelings for her, but how all of that
changed when she went after Ava Jerome (Maura West) on her own followed by
hurting Trina and his friends. Esme has
always suspected that Spencer has feelings for Trina so she called his bluff
and when Spencer stepped closer to Esme and she recoiled, Chavez’s line delivery
of “Do you still think I’m bluffing?” was bone-chilling in a spot-on way. When Esme tries to remind Spencer that Trina
moved on with Rory so he’d be doing this for nothing, Chavez’s facial
expressions wonderfully showcased the combination of heartbreak at the idea of
Trina moving on and the longing Spencer has for her. Fans are looking forward to what happens next
in this storyline and they know Chavez will continue to deliver.  Bravo, Chavez!
