Background[]
Spencer was conceived during an affair that his parents had while they were both married to other people:
- Nikolas to Emily Quartermaine, who acted as his mother until her death in 2007.
- Courtney to Jasper Jacks, who was believed to be his father for the first few months of his life because Jax tampered with the paternity test results.
Spencer's biological mother, Courtney
Spencer is seen as a miracle child because his mother, Courtney was told that she was infertile due to a miscarriage in August 2003.
In September 2005, Courtney Matthews finds out she's about four weeks pregnant[45] soon after divorcing her husband, Jasper "Jax" Jacks. She and her then-boyfriend, Nikolas Cassadine, are overjoyed as Courtney thought she was infertile.
Courtney had several mishaps during her pregnancy: two bouts of cramps, a fall, was pushed into freezing water, and had a tree fall on her leg (also hit her head).
Jax finds out, though, and demands a paternity test be done. It comes back saying that Jax is the father. Courtney and Nikolas still decide that they will fight to keep the baby with them once it is born.
Spencer's parents~Nikolas and Courtney
Nikolas's grandmother, Helena Cassadine, also finds out about Courtney's baby. Trying for years to control the Cassadine empire through Nikolas, Helena finally sees the means to gain access to the Cassadine money by taking Courtney's baby to raise as the Cassadine heir. Courtney decides to leave town to give herself some space to think. Helena kidnaps her just as she gets out, but Courtney eventually overpowers her and escapes. With the help of her father, Mike Corbin, Courtney goes into hiding.
Through his mother, he had an older maternal half-sister named Emily Matthews-Morgan, who died of miscarriage in August of 2003.
Through his father, he has a younger paternal half-brother Ace Prince-Cassadine, who was born on February 15, 2023.
Spencer was considered an orphan after his father was supposedly killed by Valentin Cassadine in 2016. Nikolas was revealed to be alive 3 years later.
His grandmother, Laura Webber has been his legal guardian since his father's presumed death.
In November 2016, it's revealed that Nikolas and Spencer were never really the Cassadine heirs, when Spencer lost his entire inheritance to his great-uncle Valentin, it's revealed through Mikkos' hidden will that he left his entire estate to the eldest living son. However, in August 2019, it was revealed that there is a codicil to Mikkos' will which could prove that Valentin is not the rightful Cassadine heir which would mean that the inheritance really would belong to Spencer and Nikolas.
With Stavros and Stefan dead, Valentin is the only living son and hence sole heir to the Cassadine Estate with his daughter, Charlotte to follow after him. Spencer has some resentment towards Charlotte because of what her father did.
On January 20, 2020, after more than 3 years of separation, Spencer was finally reunited with his father. However, after learning that he willingly stayed away for all this time, he immediately rejected him, declaring the he was just as heartless as Valentin before disowning him.
Storylines[]
Spencer shortly after birth
Spencer was born onscreen February 20, 2006 via C-section to Courtney Matthews and Jasper Jacks. In February 2006, Port Charles is hit by a deadly encephalitis plague. Both Nikolas and Courtney contract the virus. They end up getting engaged, but due to the virus the baby is at risk so Courtney decides that she wants to have a C-section no matter what the risk is for her. Courtney tells the doctors to save her unborn baby, as she fought to keep him alive. On February 20, 2006, she gives birth to a severely premature baby boy via C-section, and doctors are able to keep him breathing. Jax and Nikolas, who have recovered from the virus, keep an eye on the baby for Courtney. Courtney tells Jax she wants to name the baby John, after Jax's father. Overwhelmed with guilt, Jax confesses to Courtney that Nikolas is the baby's biological father, and that he had the test changed so that it would look like he was the father. Courtney tries to tell Nikolas this, but by the time he arrives, Courtney is severely weakened and dies without telling Nikolas the truth.
Baby Spencer
Baby John, as he is called, is able to fight despite being premature. He is infected by the virus, but luckily, he recovers. While he is in the hospital, Nikolas visits John to fulfill Courtney's wish of wanting to take care of her baby with him. Unfortunately, Jax keeps him away by ordering doctors not to allow Nikolas to see him, then getting a restraining order placed against Nikolas to make sure he stays away from John. When John recovers and leaves the hospital, Jax raises him with the help of Carly Corinthos, Courtney's best friend who he is now dating. The doctor who initially switched the DNA tests retires, and leaves behind the actual results. Meanwhile, Nikolas has another DNA test run on John, which Carly tampers with so Nikolas won't find out the truth. In June 2006, Jax holds a baptism for Courtney's son, naming him John Michael Jacks, after his father and Courtney's, and naming Carly the godmother. Dr. Robin Scorpio finds the results of the original paternity test, and realizes what Carly did to Nikolas' test. She tells Nikolas the truth at John's baptism. Nikolas doesn't believe her. Jax, however, intercedes and tells Nikolas that he is John's father, and that he tampered with the test to keep John and Courtney safe from Helena.
Spencer and crazy Colleen
Jax gives John back to Nikolas, who, though upset over Jax's manipulations, resolves himself to be a good father. He is also able to heal his relationship with ex-wife Emily Quartermaine, who divorced Nikolas when she found out he and Courtney were having an affair. Nikolas decides to rename John so that he will stop thinking about the time his son was kept away from him.[46] John is renamed Spencer after Nikolas' brother and sister, Lucky and Lulu Spencer. Emily is named Spencer's godmother. Nikolas hires Colleen McHenry as a nanny to Spencer. She becomes obsessed with Nikolas and falls in love with him, but Nikolas is falling back in love with Emily, who is also becoming a part of Spencer's life. Nikolas fires Colleen after finding out that all the fathers she previously worked for ended up dead.
Spencer before he gets kidnapped
Unfortunately, that doesn't stop Colleen. She kidnaps Spencer right before the Christmas manger in 2006, and Nikolas and Emily go after her. They find Colleen, but Spencer has already been taken by Helena, who followed Colleen, wanting Spencer to herself. Nikolas and Emily follow Helena to St. Petersburg and ambush her at a cathedral, where she is trying to baptize Spencer under a different name. She holds a knife to Spencer, threatening to kill him unless Nikolas lets her go. Fortunately, Nikolas and Emily reverse the tables and manage to get Spencer back, while Helena escapes in January 2007. Nikolas and Emily baptize him at the cathedral as Spencer Alexi Nikolayovich Cassadine. Nikolas and Emily, back together, raise Spencer with help from Spencer's extended family. Nikolas proposes to Emily on October 31, 2007, who promises to help him raise Spencer, but Emily is killed that same night by the Text Message Killer, Diego Alcazar.
