General Hospital (GH) spoilers claim Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) suspects Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is not herself.
Rather, he thinks she’s fully remembered the old Esme — the young woman she used to be. Struggling to keep that under wraps wasn’t easy when speaking so passionately and off the cuff with someone who knew her so well.
Spencer noticed the little details right away, and although he isn’t certain that she remembered her past as he presses her on it and pretends that he is, he will soon have the clarity he’s lacking that lets him know his instincts were right.
But will he keep that information to himself as a means of weaponizing it against her, or will he clue his kind and too-forgiving grandmother, Laura Collins (Genie Francis), in on it right away?
General Hospital Spoilers — Esme Prince Slips Up
Esme has been playing the hand she’s been dealt fairly well for the last few weeks since she had all of her memories come flooding back to her at Wyndemere on Christmas Eve.
Spencer never questioned that things were trucking along like normal, and he was happy with the arrangement they had sharing time with Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) since Esme moved out.
As soon as she uttered the nickname “Spence” — and in the tone of desperation and manipulation that she did — something struck a nerve in Spencer that told him the old Esme was back.
As he continues to waffle over whether he can trust that red flag waving in his mind, Esme is going to slip up once again and seal her fate with him.
GH Spoilers – Leak Spencer Cassadine Zips His Lips
Spencer has already hurled a massive threat in Esme’s direction. If she goes to the police to report Nikolas for kidnapping Ace, he’s going to tell them she has remembered her past and is pretending she didn’t just to escape persecution for her prior crimes.
Still, Spencer is on the hook here more than Esme might be. If she can continue fooling everyone, she’s in the clear. Spencer, however, did give her child away to Nikolas — who is a fugitive on the run.
Will Spencer’s silence only end up biting him in the end when he tries to throw Esme under the bus to save himself and isn’t taken seriously because of it?
General Hospital Spoilers — Laura Collins Remains In The Dark
Nikolas scooped up Ace with ease and left Laura’s penthouse apartment without so much as a word to his mother. He knew she would never be on board with him abducting his own child.
At the same time, she’ll have to struggle with how much it pleases her that he wanted to take responsibility for his child after all.
We won’t be surprised if it’s deeply triggering for Laura to see yet another Cassadine man come along and take his child from their mother as though that bond means nothing — and this time, it’s her own son.
Moreover, she’ll have to process the fact that Spencer betrayed the whole family — and gave Ace to a man he doesn’t know while ripping him away from the mother he is attached to.
It’s going to be a wild ride in Port Charles as everyone tries to track this baby down. Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to see what happens next.
