General Hospital Spoilers: Esme and Cyrus Team Up To Become An Ultimate Force- Nikolas and Spencer Don’t Stand A Chance

Esme and Cyrus team up against Spencer and Nikolas
Esme and Cyrus team up

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.

Esme and Cyrus team up against Spencer and Nikolas

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.

Esme and Cyrus team up against Spencer and Nikolas

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.

Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) has lost his mind! He has spent nearly an entire year observing Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl). Amnesia had knocked her into a new identity where she is a kind and loving new mother. Of course, Spencer had to see to believe, and what he saw was a good mother.

On the contrary, Spencer has observed his own father for years, and what he sees is a toxic parent. So why in the world did Spencer do what he just did? According to General Hospital spoilers and recaps, Spencer’s suspicions lead him to give up Ace to Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss). That’s when he so proudly told Esme that her son was gone and in the care of his unstable, absentee father.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Ace’s big brother faces his own devastating losses. Aside from losing Ace (willingly) to Nikolas, Spencer finds himself on a side all alone as Trina and Laura become infuriated with the man they thought loved Ace. Before now, Spencer couldn’t fathom the thought of living a moment without his new little baby brother until a perfect storm changed his mind.

GH spoilers suggest that the timing was perfect (or not). Esme slipped up in her conversation with Spencer, and his radar went wild. He was into her and had a feeling that she remembers her part. Furthermore, his dad shows up unexpectedly and delivers some sob story about why Ace should be separated from his mother- the only complete constant in the almost one year old’s life.

According to GH rumors, Trina’s furious over Spencer’s decision despite how she feels about Esme. Will Spencer lose Ace, Esme, and Trina?

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.

As if Ava Jerome (Maura West) has a right to be upset at Laura! Ugh, the nerve. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ava, I do. But her hypocritical ways sometimes have me taking another side. And that’s exactly how I feel about Ava in her fight against Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl).

General Hospital recaps highlight Mayor Laura Spencer’s (Genie Francis) hand in Esme’s arrest and sentencing. Since Ava wanted to press charges to teach Esme a lesson, she isn’t the happiest camper at the moment. She wanted so badly for Esme to get booked at Pentonville. However, Ace’s grandmother, Mayor Laura pulled some strings.

According to recent GH spoilers, Ava lashes out at Laura. She wants so badly for Esme to pay for her crimes in some way, that she didn’t even consider the baby. Baby Ace is attached to his mother as any child would be to their loving parent. That’s why Laura stepped in and made a deal for Esme. After all, sending Esme to Pentonville wouldn’t be in the best interest of baby Ace (Jay and Joey Clay).

GJ rumors claim that Ava blames Laura for Esme’s slap on the wrist, and insists that this isn’t over.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Adam Huss Studied Tyler Christopher Before Nikolas And Spencer’s Emotional Scenes

Adam Huss studied Tyler Christopher

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.

Adam Huss studied Tyler Christopher

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?

General Hospital Spoilers: Jason Returns, True Love Awaits- Baby, It’s Just You and Me, By The Way Do Our Blacks Match?

Jason and Sam reunite
Jason and Sam reunite

Our prayers have been answered! Well, I know that mine have. I can’t say that I speak for all of us, but I will say that the majority of GH fans share my sentiments when it comes to Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Steve Burton’s GH return is the absolute best news we’ve received in a while, especially after 2023’s devastating losses.

Despite the tragic losses, GH fans can find something to smile about. Jason Morgan’s comeback has been a bright spot for many since losing Sonya, Jackie, Billy, and Tyler. Of course there are more we’ve most, which are equally as sad. But as they say, life goes on. Thankfully many look forward to Jason’s Port Charles return, especially when it comes to his reunions. Sonny, Carly, Michael, Sam, and Spinelli, come to mind as the most impactful, along with the Quartermaines.

However, Jason and Sam McCall’s (Kelly Monaco) reunion is what gets me out of bed in the morning. Okay, maybe that was a little dramatic. But I am a die hard JaSam fan. Let’s just say that I own Sam’s star necklace and have the same shaped star tattooed on my body.

Who Does Jason Love?

General Hospital spoilers tease that Jason has a few love interests to choose from. Although sadly Britt is deceased, Sam and Liz are still around. But they aren’t for the taking- for now. Of course, someone new is always a possibility. Sam is currently with Drew, and Elizabeth and Dr. Finn keep giving their relationship the old college try. Nothing is guaranteed and either of those relationships could crumble.

Will Jason’s return ignite another JaSam vs. Liason fan war? Personally, I think Jason and Sam are endgame. One of my favorite things (other than the star necklace) that they share is their love for the color black. Whether it’s a black t-shirt or a black leather jacket, black is definitely Jason and Sam’s color.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina Throws Michael Under The Bus- But It Backfires

Nina throws Michael under the bus

Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) just lost her mother. Despite not having been raised by Bobbie Spencer (Jackie Zeman), Carly and Bobbie had a precious mother-daughter relationship. The last thing that Carly needs is Nina at this difficult time.

GH recaps highlight Nina’s track record. Seemingly Nina Reeves, (Cynthia Watros) lives her life in Carly‘s shadow. The new Mrs. Corinthos got where she is today by stealing from the former Mrs. Corinthos. First, she stole Carly’s husband Sonny in the most devious way, and then she stole her career. Yes, Nina took Carly’s half of the Metro Court right from under her. As if that wasn’t enough, Nina then snitched on Carly and her boyfriend Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) to the SEC.

General Hospital spoilers and previews indicate that Nina throws Michael under the bus. Can we say deflection? Now that the cats out of the bag and Nina’s deception and lies have been exposed, she now deflects the blame onto Carly and Sonny’s son. See, she blames him for Carly’s anguish because he knew what Nina had done and didn’t tell her mom or dad. However, Michael’s only known since October, and there were many factors involved in his decision. That’s why General Hospital spoilers and rumors hint that things won’t go as Nina planned. Instead, it backfires, and Carly understands exactly why Michael kept his mouth shut.
