The wait is officially over! “General Hospital” fans can watch Nicholas Alexander Chavez (ex-Spencer Cassadine) in “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” now streaming on Netflix.

Chronicling the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the August 20, 1989 murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, the second season of the Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan-led true-crime anthology series sees Chavez taking on the role of Lyle Menendez, the eldest brother, while newcomer Cooper Koch plays Erik Menendez. Playing their parents are Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny.

During the real-life trial, the prosecution argued the brothers killed their parents to inherit their family fortune. Meanwhile, Lyle and Erik claimed – and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole – that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.

Their charges need to be changed to manslaughter. They were about to be retried for the lesser charge, but LA DA Gil Garcetti's team had just lost the OJ case which made them look so bad. It was an ego thing. 

I believe the brothers. I lived in Orange County when this happened and we couldn't get away from it. It's gruesome. This series is going to be hard to watch (for me, I'm a wimp). But there's some big chit coming. Nic Chavez is exactly how I knew he would be in this.

Whatever my complaints about Murphy, the music in his projects is always on point.

The Milli Vanilli songs (Yes. Songs. As in plural.

) sent me careening back into my past. I'll be honest, I barely remember the crime. My sharpest memories are of the trial of them both.

I read the whole story and at no point did they answer the question, how is Erik Menendez watching Netflix in prison?

Taking real life crime and turning it into taboo-fetish porn with subtitles... is not my cup of tea for entertainment. This time Murphy went one step too far. I have seen scenes in youtube, just out of curiosity and the way it's promoted - even the ads and the posters... is so absurd and inappropriate, and so FAR from reality, that it's laughable. 

Even this shot... is enough for me. It looks like an ad for a posh gay escort service. Disgusting way of glamorizing. Like WTF.

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
