If there was ever someone to have an opinion — and express it vigorously — it was General Hospital‘s Spencer Cassadine, especially when played by Nicolas J. Bechtel. Turns out his portrayer is no different.

Nicholas J Bechtel Makes Things Clear

“Just here to clarify a few things I’ve read in the last few hours,” began Bechtel’s loaded but succinct post. “I’m 19 and 6’1, I’m headed to college in the Fall and I fully understand that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and I’m ok with that. Let’s focus on keeping being healthy and productive. Best, Nic”

When a fan asked for clarification as to what Bechtel was referring to, the young man relayed, “I follow the hashtag [GH] and all the negativity attached to it is really sad. Actors, writers, and producers do read things on social media and it’s very disheartening.”

Actually, I follow the hashtag #gh and all the negativity attached to it is really sad. Actors, writers and producers do read things on social media and it’s very disheartening.

Ryan Paevey (ex-Nathan West) chimed in the discussion with, “It’s why I bowed out years ago. Soap Twitter was one of the most caustic online environments I’ve ever experienced…droves of armchair judges with no ability or experience standing in judgment of people out there working hard to entertain. Don’t miss it at all.”

Then, ever the mood-elevating charmer, Paevey replied to his former co-star, “Buuuuuuuuuut that means only 2 more years till I can buy you that beer!!! Haha” a sentiment which Bechtel more than appreciated.
