General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer Lost Everything

When General Hospital’s Nik disappeared, Spencer lost everything. Spencer lost the only home he had ever known. Spencer lost the Cassadine money. Spencer lost his only living parent. Spencer lost all of his family since he was shipped off to boarding school. Spencer was devastated by his losses. Spencer had to deal with his father’s death, even though Nik is alive. Spencer has moved away from all of his loved ones and his friends. Spencer literally had no one to lean on and no one for support.

Spencer Tampered With An Election

Obviously, Spencer learned something from his father because he tampered with the election that helped get Laura Collins (Genie Frances) the job as mayor of Port Charles. If Spencer hadn’t tampered with the voting machine, Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) would have won fair and square. Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) has held this over Spencer’s head for years. Nikolas could have prevented this from happening in the first place. Nikolas should have been there to protect his son from Valentin in the first place. Nikolas should have taught his child that this is not acceptable behavior. Instead, Nik chose to remain dead to the world.

Spencer feels discarded by this father and that hurts. Nikolas confided in Spencer the last time he faked his death, but this time Spencer thought his father was dead and grieved for him.

GH Spoilers: Should Spencer Just Forget All Of This?

Should General Hospital’s Spencer forget the suffering his father has put him through and just be glad he’s home?
