General Hospital Spoilers: Ryan Left Esme Everything, Esme Considers Her Options- Will She Stay Or Will She Go?

Ryan left Esme everything

Ryan left Esme everything! Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) arrived in Port Charles on a mission. While posing as Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) doting girlfriend, the boarding school brat had a secret agenda. Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindtrom) was the mastermind behind the disturbing plot to come between Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Ava Jerome (Maura West). Moreover, Ryan’s obsession with Ava lead to a sequence of unfortunate events.

According to General Hospital recaps, Esme’s amnesia took her from a dangerous con-artist to a loving and responsible new mother. Despite a personal vendetta against his ex, even Spencer sees Esme’s maternal instincts kick in. Spencer’s grandmother Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) has been a constant support for Esme and baby Ace. After all, Ace is Laura’s grandson.

Ryan Left Esme Everything!?!?

General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer Sees Esme’s Love For Ace

Spencer sees Esme’s love for Ace Trina’s jealous by Esme

Spencer sees Esme’s love for Ace. …Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) just experienced every mother’s worst nightmare. A horrific experience left Esme unconscious on the living room floor. When she woke, Esme opened her eyes to Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) bringing her back to consciousness. It was then that she remembered that Baby Ace was stolen.

This experience would traumatize anyone, especially a new mother that has amnesia. Although traumatic, her experience with Ace’s kidnapping showcased her true feelings as a mother. It’s obvious that Esme isn’t the same conniving and dangerous young woman she once was. Her love and devotion to her child displays a much softer, and even lovable side.

According to General Hospital spoilers, Spencer sees Esme’s love for Ace. The only Esme he knows is the one who conned him, the one who drove him and Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) apart. Spencer sees Esme as his psycho ex-girlfriend who slept with his father. Also, she tortured Ava, and her family tree is quite frightening.

Now that Esme and Ace have been reunited, GH rumors hint that Spencer’s thoughts about taking Ace from Esme are conflicted. The more he sees Esme’s natural abilities as a responsible mother, the greater his doubts. He was so dead set on taking Ace from his mother, but now things may change.

General Hospital Spoilers: Kevin Assessed Ryan And Esme- Should Kevin’s Professional Opinion Be Taken With A Grain Of Salt?

Kevin’s wrong about Esme

Kevin’s wrong about Esme? Dr. Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) is a well-respected Psychiatrist on Port Charles. He’s helped countless patients with their mental health needs. Moreover, he’s helped some patients overcome the strangest, most soapy forms of mental disorders television has ever seen. But GH fans can’t help but ask how he got his brother Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) so wrong.

General Hospital recaps remind fans that Ryan faked his mental state. Pretending he couldn’t communicate verbally through doctors and his victims for a loop. However, how could a Psychiatrist get things so wrong? Ryan had everyone believing that he was an invalid. A vegetable that was trapped inside himself. But that wasn’t the case at all. That being said, if Dr. Collins overlooked the reality and seriousness of Ryan’s scheme, how could he be trusted with Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl)?

According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Dr. Kevin Collins’s credibility is in question. If he was wrong about Ryan, is it possible that Kevin’s wrong about Esme as well? Yes. It’s absolutely possible. If you really think about it, Ryan went on to terrorize innocent people because of Kevin’s negligence.

According to GH spoilers and rumors, Esme isn’t faking. For now, she truly cannot remember the monster she used to be. The memories of her horrible crimes stay buried in the darkest part of her mind. However, that doesn’t mean the’ll stay there. Although, Kevin might be right about Esme now, but the doesn’t means she won’t again her memories and keep them all to herself.
