It’s sad to say it but Baby Ace Cassadine (Joey and Jay Clay) is essentially an orphan. Ok, not technically. But his mother Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) is presumed dead, and in my opinion his father Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) may as well be dead too! He’s proven to be an unfit father, just as Spencer has suspected for years.
Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) had his dad’s number back when he played dead the first time around. Since then, their relations on and family dynamic hasn’t been the same. Now Nik continues to prove himself as an unfit parent as he recently displayed to his mother Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis).
General Hospital spoilers tease that Laura (Genie Francis) and her husband Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) have a long road of parenting ahead of them. That is, unless things change. GH previews indicate that Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) pays her ex-mother-in-law a visit. She’s surprised to learn what Laura has to say and that’s when things could get complicated.
According to General Hospital rumors, Elizabeth generously offers to help Laura. Although Laura and Kevin are happy to take on the responsibility of becoming Ace’s adoptive parents, GH rumors hint that there may be another way. Apparently, Elizabeth makes things easier on Laura and Kevin when she offers to adopt Ace.
There is nothing in the world that would stop me from going to find my child. Like most any mother Esme Prince shutters at the thought of her son being with a stranger- even if that stranger is the baby’s biological father. Poor Ace was just ripped from the only comfort he’s ever known- his mother.
Esme is on a mission to save Ace from Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss). She doesn’t care that she’s being hunted down by the PCPD. In fact, the only thing she cares about right now is getting her son back. General Hospital recaps recall that Esme is on the run. Unfortunately, the PCPD got a heads up when Heather Webber (Alley Mills) told Laura that Esme remembers everything. Now the PCPD everyone who had the slightest bit of faith in Esme has lost it all. Instead she is viewed as the dangerous psycho that she was before she jumped from the parapet.
General Hospital spoilers indicate that Esme’s on the run and the PCPD is hot on her trail. But are they though?! According to recent GH rumors, Esme leads Chase and Dante astray. After all she needs every advantage she can get in her quest to find baby Ace.
Esme Prince was given a second chance at a beautiful life, but things took a dark turn. Although the young mother struggled to trust as well as be trusted. Ever since her parapet plunge, Esme’s worked hard to create and establish her new reputation. But just because her amnesia allowed her to forget the past, doesn’t mean the people of Port Charles can do the same.
After months of observing, Spencer came around to the idea of Esme caring for Ace- not that it’s his decision because she is Ace’s mother. He wasn’t fully convinced that the old Esme was out and the new and improved ex-girlfriend was here to stay. However, he trusted her enough to take care of his little brother. Actually, Esme and Spencer were more than civil at times, downright having sub with baby Ace. Soon began to establish a mutual fondness for each other, but Esme’s pls feelings for Spence started to bubble to the surface. According to GH recaps, Esme even admitted her feelings for Spencer to herself.
Esme Goes To Paris
General Hospital spoilers tease that Ace and his mom were on their way to a nice, cozy life as she pushed her last behind her… until she couldn’t. Suddenly everything came crashing down at once. But nothing posed as big of a threat to wake and Ace as Nikolas Cassadine’s return. Now Esme is determined to get her son back, no matter what the circumstances. GH spoilers and rumors tease that Esme poses a threat to Spencer and Trina when she shows up in Paris.
Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine are fan-favorites alone and as a couple. Many GH fans want to see them bloom into a legendary love story while others root for Esme’s redemption. It might be too late now for Ace’s mom to evolve into the person that she needs to be for Ace. Especially since GH rumors hint that Esme turns Sprina’s trip into dangerous territory.
Mayor Collins, or more familiarly referred to as Laura Spencer (Genie Francis), takes on a complicated role. As if being Mayor of Port Charles doesn’t already come with its complexities, this dedicated mother and grandmother tacks more onto her plate.
Apparently, the dust doesn’t seem to want to settle for Laura Spencer Collins. Action and adventure catch up with Laura these days while she doesn’t have a moment to catch a break. Sadly, Laura’s son Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss), and her grandson, Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) have her running in circles yet again. According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Laura pays a visit to Esme’s mom, Heather Webber (Alley Mills). Little does Laura know, she isn’t Heather’s first visitor on a while.
You never know what you’re going to get when it comes to Heather. Today, Ace’s grandma talks with Heather and makes a peculiar observation. Heather blows Esme’s plans when she opens her mouth to Laura. How will Laura handle Esme when Nikolas ran off with babe Ace. At this point which one she ain’t sure who is more dangerous, Esme or Nikolas.
Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is desperate to find her son. As far as she’s concerned, she would have been better off on her own with Ace than to have even half-heartedly trusted Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) and the Cassadines.
Although Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl) brought it upon herself when she broke into Wyndemere, she blames Laura for the series of events that followed. GH recaps highlight that while Esme was in court, her son was taken right from her. Not only did Ace’s big brother fail to stop his father from kidnapping Ace, but he gave him up willingly. What’s worse is that he still defends his compliance.
According to recent GH rumors, Laura tells Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) the whole story, even the parts that incriminate her son and grandson. As a result, the PCPD uses Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) to lure Nikolas to Port Charles. Spencer committed a crime. No matter how you slice it, or how he blames Esme for her past, he and his father are the ones who just committed a heinous crime.
Spencer Is Arrested And Held Until Nik Turns Himself In
General Hospital spoilers reveal that the PCPD takes immediate action to begin the investigation. Dante wants to know every detail for the best chance at locating Nikolas (Adam Huss) and baby Ace. Therefore, it’s likely that Dante questions Spencer as well as Mayor Collins. That said, u can bet that Laura tells the truth even though she’s aware of the consequences.
GH spoilers and rumors teaser a shocking twist! Spencer is arrested while Nik still runs free. Although Spencer played his role in the whole thing, the PCPD has bigger fish to fry. In fact, child kidnappings are of the utmost priority. That’s why the PCPD could want to strike a deal. Spencer’s freedom for Nikolas to turn himself in and bring Ace home safely.
The authorities want baby Ace brought home ASAP. That’s why GH rumors claim that the PCPD uses Spencer to lure Nikolas back to Port Charles. That’s when Spencer is arrested and held in a cell until someone is able to reach out to Nikolas. It’s doesn’t stop there because then he’ll need convincing to return with Ace. Will Nikolas set Spencer free if that means giving up Ace and his own freedom?
I’m gonna start off first by saying that I’m so disappointed in Spencer. I reviewed the situation in my head from every angle and I still believe that Spencer is completely in the wrong. Despite Esme’s checkered past and her memories floating to the surface, Spencer crossed the line. In fact, he committed a very serious crime.
Over the years the Cassadine family developed a Reputation🐍 for themselves. They’re known for their erratic behaviors at various degrees. That’s because not all Cassadine family members were created equal. Instead, they all have different levels of and forms of crazy. And over time, some sink deeper into the Cassadine darkness while others are lucky enough to find the light (i.e. Alexis Davis (Natasha)).
General Hospital recaps highlight Spencer Cassadine’s defining moment when he immersed himself into pure Cassadine culture. To be fair, Spencer has never really kept his side of the street all that clean. He has lied, schemed, and even committed crimes. But Spence and his loved ones put that in the past after he served his time. Eventually, things started to look up for Spencer. He started to become more comfortable with watching Esme raise his baby brother Ace (Jay and Joey Clay). Additionally, Spencer and Trina are still madly in love, and they plan to spend Trina’s semester abroad together in France.
Nikolas and Spencer Sentenced To Pentonville
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, it’s quite possible that Trina and Spencer won’t get the chance to go to Paris together. Spencer lets Trina down yet again when his impulsive decision exhibits his inability to put others needs before his own wants. Let’s face it, Spencer didn’t need to do this. Aiding and abetting a kidnapping isn’t what anyone needs.
GH spoilers tease that Spencer feels the consequences surrounding all sides. First, he’s without the same little brother that he couldn’t bear to spend a moment without. Next, his grandmother Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) is fraught with the shocking news over Spencer’s actions. Finally, someone has to break the news to Trina. She and Spencer plan to indulge themselves in the wonders and romance of France, but GH rumors hint that this situation changes the course of their plans. Furthermore, GH spoilers tease that Spencer’s actions don’t just derail their France plans, but also his and Trina’s relationship.
GH recaps recall Laura’s reaction and the course of action taken to find Ace. Spencer’s grandmother implicates her own son when she calls the PCPD. She took the first step in finding Ace when she notified Detective Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). At this post Laura hasn’t named names, but the Mayor of Port Charles is expected to play by the book. That means, if she implicates Nikolas, she’ll most like have to do the same with Spencer. It’s true that Spencer isn’t the one who kidnapped Ace. However, the involvement he has in this is ground for an arrest for aiding and abetting a kidnapping. I know this is poor Charles and all but it sounds to me like these two are headed for Pentonville.
Well, that was unexpected! In all honestly I was a bit thrown for a loop when Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) showed up at Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) bedside. She didn’t go to check up on him. Instead, Esme’s reason to visit Spencer’s hospitalized uncle has everything to do with her, not the recovering assault victim.
So, what made Esme turn to uncle Cyrus? First, Spencer’s ex-girlfriend and Ace’s mother doesn’t know where to turn. She doesn’t have a friend around and trust is a two way street with major roadblocks. GH recaps highlight how no one trusts Esme, and she doesn’t fully trust anyone. Despite Laura’s consistency, Esme questions her authenticity.
Moreover, logically Esme knows that it’s not Laura’s fault that she’s in this mess. Still, she’s viscerally fueled by her son having been kidnapped. That seems pretty normal, right? Yes! But is it normal to decide against police assistance when your child is missing?! No. That right there tells me that Esme is leaning more and more toward her evil bloodline. Esme 2.0 never would have put herself first while crying “Nik stole my baby, and Spencer helped!” She would have done absolutely anything, even if that meant self sacrifice. In fact, Esme’s already proven she’d put her freedom at risk when she agreed to Laura plan to confess.
On the other hand, the old (pre-pregnant parapet freefall into frigid waters) Esme wasn’t so selfless. Actually, she lied, schemed, and committed crimes as petty revenge. Prior to her amnesia, Esme was almost as cold and calculating as her father.
GH spoilers and rumors tease that the current Esme exhibits qualities (or not) from both versions of herself. Similarly, she and Cyrus have that in common. Two people who in their sudden rebirths practice exculpation as their most dependable life skill have come together. They’ve gone from downright bad, to exhibiting righteous preaching while simultaneously keeping that criminal mind. The only difference is that they know have reason to justify their terrible behavior.
GH rumors hint Esme and Cyrus become an ultimate force. Their mutual, evil-do-gooder mantra serves them well with their investigation into finding baby Ace and his father, Nikolas Cassadine.
General Hospital stars Jay and Joey are just precious! Little Ace Cassadine stole this week’s scenes as Nikolas and Spencer’s emotions erupted. According to the twin’s Instagram page ran by mom, Lana Clay, it was Jay who snuggled up to Chavez and Huss.
General Hospital recaps recall Nikolas Cassadine’s shocking return has already put Port Charles up in arms. First, he showed up at his son’s door after having disappeared for months on end. He left his newborn son behind to evade criminal charges involving his son’s mother. So what makes him think that he can waltz back into Port Charles and run things?
Is Baby Ace Leaving GH?
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Esme is distraught when Spencer delivers the news. She may be a free woman but Ace is gone and she won’t rest until she’s returned. Esme 2.0 has done everything possible to ensure that Ace has a safe and healthy upbringing. To their surprise, even Laura and Spencer can see what a good mother Esme is to Ace. Which is why Spencer’s actions came completely out of left field. Up until his father‘s return Spencer couldn’t bear to stand a moment without his brother Ace. Then suddenly he gives him up two seconds flat? Something seems very off with this situation.
Esme isn’t the only one worried about Ace’s whereabouts. Evidently, the current storyline raises concerns. With Nik and Ace on the run, GH fans are concerned about what this means for baby Ace and the twins who portray him. According to General Hospital news reports, Lana Clay adressed Jay and Joey Clay’s GH status. Thankfully, they aren’t going anywhere and they continue to play the role. In fact, a recent IG post confirms that the boys have many more scenes to come! Don’t worry, the Clay twins remain as GH’s irresistibly adorable Ace Cassadine for the foreseeable future! ☺️
In 1996, the late Tyler Christopher originated the role of Nikolas Cassadine. As the first and most authentic Dr. Prince, Tyler set the stage and paved the way for his successors. Today, his depiction of a true Cassadine lives on to inspire others.
Over the years Tyler Christopher became a household name, and the role of Nikolas Cassadine was iconized by the Emmy winning actor. That’s why it’s not surprising that those who’ve played the role after Christopher look upon his work as a guide.
Fast forward some years and a few Nikolas Cassadine recasts later, General Hospital found the perfect fit. GH fans warned up to Marcus Coloma in no time, becoming comfortable with his portrayal of this beloved character.
General Hospital news reports confirm that GH is onto yet another Nikolas. Adam Huss seems to be the permanent fixture after Coloma’s shocking GH exit. Despite the fan backlash, Marcus Coloma has yet to return. However, Huss has made a big impression on fans after the emotional scene with his tv son. Shockingly, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and his dad Nikolas reunited after dear old dad’s disappearance. The most shocking part of this all is that Nikolas and his son put their issues aside for Ace and for their own relationship. The scenes were natural and raw. Additionally, Nik and Spencer’s emotional scene seem to capture a familiar feel.
General Hospital news and spoilers report that Adam Huss revealed his secret. There’s no question that scenes like those take preparation. Evidently, Adam Huss extensively prepared for his first major Nikolas Cassadine scene. Recently, Huss revealed to Soaps In Depth, “I watched a lot of scenes between Tyler Christopher and Nicolas Bechtel. What a beautiful dynamic they had, especially in the scenes around the fire when Spencer got burned and Nikolas was at the hospital.”
From there Huss then filmed the Nikolas and Spencer reunion scenes with Nicholas Alexander Chavez. GH spoilers reveal Adam’s take on Nik and Spencer’s relationship. He continued to Soaps In Depth, “I believe what transpires between them is sincere, and there is a sincere want and need from Nikolas to reconnect with Spencer. Which is why he is ready to face whatever he is going to face when it occurs. I also believe he would be willing to do whatever it takes in that moment to get what he needs. It’s definitely interesting, the direction it goes in.”
Are you ready to see what becomes of Nikolas, Spencer, Ava, Esme, and Ace?
Well, well, well, if it isn’t dear old dad. Once again, Spencer Cassadine’s father mastered his disappearing act. The way Spencer sees it, Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) chooses himself over his son over and over again.
Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He’s tangled in Esme and Nikolas’s web of deception and he doesn’t want his little brother to suffer. He knows that he must make the best decision for Ace, but when your two choices are Esme or Nikolas, it makes things difficult. How is Spencer supposed to choose between Ace’s parents? One is Spencer’s own father and the other is his semi-reformed, psycho ex-girlfriend.
Prior to Esme’s fall from the parapet, there’s no way in Hell that Spencer would have chosen to help his ex fight for her son. Retrospectively, Spencer despised Esme for the things she’d done. All the lies, the crimes, and the people she’s hurt were never going to get past Spencer. Then, his baby brother was born and Spencer saw a different side of Esme. The amnesia allowed the young mother to focus on her son instead of seeking revenge. But now that her memories have returned, Esme herself is torn between her old self and her new self.
