If it were up to Spencer, Esme would have been out of his life completely. But the reason he’d like to forget her existence is the exact reason she’s still around. It’s a known fact that Esme slept with Spencer’s own father, Nikolas Cassadine. That, along with all of her other heinous deeds is why Spencer wishes he never said his ex-girlfriend ever again. Can you blame him? Who would forgive that type of betrayal?

Ironically, Spencer and Esme are connected for life now that she and Nikolas have Spencer a little brother. Spencer would do ANYTHING to be a part of baby Ace’s life, including tolerate Esme’s presence. GH recaps recall that Spencer first wanted custody of his brother which would remove him from his mother’s (Esme’s) care. Things didn’t work out as planned and Spencer and Esme are even civil to one another. Prior to her flashbacks, Esme began to feel something for her old flame. The tension was too much because he’s happy with Trina, so Esme did what she had to do. Spencer and Esme have been getting along for Ace’s sake, but what will come of her newfound memories?

Ava And Esme Battle It Out, Spencer Sides With Esme?!

General Hospital spoilers and rumors hint that Ava’s spiteful behavior in response to Esme’s petty crime will hurt Ava more than Esme. Apparently, Ava’s plan to teach Esme a lesson kickstarts round two . She’s got her old self buried down inside and parts have already come to the surface. All she needed was that little push to send herself back in time.

Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) broke into Wyndemere, got caught, confessed, and told a few little white lies. For now, she’s not the same person that she used to be, and she tried so hard to become better than her reputation.

But like Ava Jerome said, “a leopard never changes her spots.” Although Esme couldn’t remember who she was, that doesn’t mean she isn’t that same girl deep down. Besides, odds are that her small flashbacks of her past life will increase. According to GH spoilers and rumors, soon Esme’s understanding of her life is restored and takes over. That’s when she’ll full embrace the woman she was when she destroyed many lives. Until then, she’s just a young mother trying to do right by her son, trying to avoid her dark past.

Nikolas Cassadine has mystified himself by his cryptic disappearance and weird bank account activities over seas. No one has had a clue of his whereabouts for months, including his children, Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Ace (Jay and Joey Clay).

General Hospital recaps recall Nikolas and Spencer Cassadine’s troubled relationship. Once upon a time Nikolas and his son Spencer were a happy little family. Over time their bond deteriorated due to selfishness and vengeance. As for Nikolas’s son Ace, he doesn’t even know him. Ace is just a baby, and Nik disappeared just as he was being born.

Nikolas Cassadine Visits Ava

Reportedly, GH News confirms that Adam Huss returns to reports his role as Nikolas Cassadine. He was last on the show back in early September of 2023. After months of speculation and fan discussion over who will play Nikolas Cassadine, Huss has stepped back into the role. Prior to Huss, Nikolas was most recently played by Marcus Coloma until his 2023 exit. Back in early Fall the news broke that Coloma’s contract would not renew. Sadly, Marcus’s three years as Nikolas was over and dans weren’t happy. Before his sudden death, Nikolas Cassadine’s original portrayer, Tyler Christopher was rumored as a possible candidate for the role post Marcus’s exit. Unfortunately, his tragic death devastated fans and loved ones.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nikolas is back to get revenge on Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl), the mother of son, Ace. It’s no secret that she and her father, Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) set out to destroy Nikolas and Ava’s marriage, and succeeded. One thing lead to another and that’s why Ava was the very first person that Nikolas saw upon his return. He wanted to address a little problem called Esme. As far as he and Ava are concerned, Ryan got what he deserved. But now Nik says it’s Esme’s turn. Will Ava team up with Nikolas to take down his baby mama?

General Hospital Spoilers: Ryan’s Reign Of Terror Continues, Heather and Ryan Ran Wild As Hazel and Richie

All Hail the wicked Ryan Chamberlain is dead! Less than a year ago, Ryan Chamberlain was stopped for good when he finally met his demise. He tortured killed stocked, kidnapped, and whatever else you can think of for decades. Ultimately, poetic justice was served when Mac Scorpio (John J. York) pulled the trigger that finally killed Ryan Chamberlain.

For a while Ryan had a little prodigy. His daughter Esme had a strong desire to make him proud. And in making him proud, that meant that Esme would do anything her father asked. But since Ryan’s glory days of having Esme carry out his dirty work, his daughter has done a complete 180.° GH recaps highlight Esme’s fateful fall from the Wyndemere parapet, resulting in amnesia. Now, the once teen psychopath is now a single mom doing the honest work to make a life for herself and her baby.

Fast forward and Ace’s mom no longer desires to terrorize anyone- especially her babies family. General Hospital spoilers and rumors hint that Esme’s feelings for Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) are real, and her admiration for Ace’s great-grandmother Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) is genuine. Moreover, Ryan is dead and Heather Webber (Alley Mills) is locked up.

Ryan’s Reign Of Terror Continues, His Past As Richie Comes To Light

But what if Ryan’s reign of terror lives on? GH rumors suggest that a shocking twist awaits. Just as the people of Port Charles thought they were safe from Ryan and his psycho family, they’re met with more disaster. Currently, his daughter Esme Prince wants nothing to do with making ryan proud, but GH rumors tease that another young woman could carry on with Ryan’s ways after his death.

According to GH spoilers and rumors, Ryan’s reign of terror continues with Betty Rutherford. As fans speculate Betty’s significance, GH rumors swirl around Betty and Esme having been separated at birth. The latest buzz around Port Charles suggests that Betty framed Ava for Austin’s murder. Allegedly, Betty has personal reasons to see Ava squirm.

Last year, Heather and Ryan dropped some hints regarding their sketchy past. It sounds like she even called him by a different name. One visit at Spring Ridge divulged significant information about their post likes and false identities. It’s apparent that Heather and Ryan did a lot of scheming in order to commit even more crimes. But the real question is, What crimes Richie and Hazel commit back then? GH rumors hint that odds are it has something to do with Esme… and Betty!

General Hospital Spoilers: Betty and Esme Are Twins! Betty Framed Ava To Avenge Ryan and Esme?!

Betty Rutherford (Ella Lentini) was hired as Avery Corinthos’s (Ava and Grace Scarola) nanny. That lasted for about 2.3 seconds before Ava told Sonny the deal and he set his trap. Betty was working for Pikeman to help take down Sonny and blackmail Ava Jerome (Maura West). But did we ever stop to think about why Betty was so willing to put herself in the position to be “eliminated” by Sonny Corinthos?

Ava Jerome isn’t winning any popularity contests in Port Charles. Although I bet she’d win when pinned up against Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). That woman has less friends than Regina George after her Burn Book was exposed. Trina is probably Ava’s most loyal supporter in life as Trina has never kidnapped or killed any of Ava’s children. She also never framed her for a murder or stalked her at any time. Despite Trina’s loyalty, I think it’s safe to say that Ava has more enemies than friends.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Ava’s been framed! They’ve run through the obvious suspects and it looks like Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) is already out of the runnings. Still, many GH fans believe that Nikolas Cassadine killed Austin Holt (Roger Howarth), framing Ava for the murder. But, what if it wasn’t Nikolas?

Esme’s Twin Betty Framed Ava

Last year, GH Blog shared a shocking hint to the Esme, Ryan, Heather Webber triangle. It just so happens that it’s not a triangle at all. Instead, it’s a square. According to General Hospital recaps, Heather and Ryan had a discussion in late December of 2022. In that discussion Heather revealed that there was not one but two in a cryptic remark to her once beloved.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Betty and Esme are twins and that Betty helped take Sonny and Ava down to avenge Ryan and Esme. True, Esme isn’t dead in the physical sense. But like Taylor Swift song, for Esme it’s more like, “I’m sorry, the old Esme can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, ’cause she’s dead!” Betty’s twin as she knew her is long gone and has been replaced with this white picket fence-fantasizing soccer mom. As for Ryan, well he’s as dead as a doornail and Betty isn’t happy about that either. She blames Ava for all of it. So why not frame her for murder?

Oh no! Ava Jerome was befriended, betrayed, and soon she’s be blamed! Allowing Austin to help her with Nikolas’s body was her biggest mistake. Then again, Austin had grander plans for Ava all along.

According to General Hospital recaps, Ava met Dr. Austin Holt quickly took kindly to each other in a strange way. In just a short time they went from fast friends to accomplices in a felony crime. They didn’t have undeniable chemistry, or even a strong desire or attraction. Instead, it seems like Ava believed that their friendship was genuine. As for anything beyond friendship, Ava admitted that she didn’t know what to make of their night together. Sadly, little did she know that Austin was lying to her the entire time.

I don’t know how you all feel, but I love Joe Sonny is looking out for Ava. The thing is that she isn’t the one who killed Austin but it sure looks that way, doesn’t it? What if that’s exactly what someone has planned for Ava Jerome (Maura West)?

General Hospital recaps highlight the emphases that was made on Ava and Austin’s relationship. Sonny pointed out the not-so-obvious to Ava how an outsider could believe that she is the one who murdered Dr. Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth). Might they think, a lover’s quarrel? It’s quite possible that no matter how look at it, Ava looks guilty as sin.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Ava has to do some quick thinking to save her own behind. Not too long ago she had to scramble to find a way to cover up what she thought was a homicide. As it turns out, she didn’t kill Nikolas Cassadine at all. In fact, he’s very much alive.

According to the latest GH spoilers and rumors, Nikolas isn’t just alive, he’s out for revenge. From the looks of things, Ava as a motive for murder. Nikolas frames Ava for Austin’s murder as the perfect payback. For one, Nikolas knows that Ava thinks that she killed him.

Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and his father Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) have a mutual respect for each other’s career choices. Although they’re at opposite sides of the law, they’ve come to an understanding when it comes to family and business.

General Hospital previews indicate that a current situation puts Dante and Sonny’s understanding and respect for one another to the test. In a shocking twist, Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) was shot dead in cold blood. As a detective Dante must do what it takes to solve the crime, even if that means that he has to question his father.

Who Killed Austin Holt On General Hospital?

A doctor is dead and Dante has reason to believe that Sonny knows a little something about the situation. Of course, Sonny and Ava Jerome (Maura West) know more about Austin than some would guess, but that doesn’t mean they know who killed him. General Hospital spoilers tease that Dante investigates the crime and questions Sonny about Austin’s death. Some GH rumors claim that Cyrus Renault is the obvious choice, but something tells me that’s not the case. It just seems too easy.

Moreover, GH recaps recall the look on Austin’s face when he came face to face with his killer. He was puzzled to see this person but didn’t seem all that afraid. Did Ava lash out after she discovered that Austin’s been lying to her? Or is Nikolas Cassadine creeping around Port Charles with a vengeance?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Gets His Revenge! Austin Lies Lifeless On The Ground

Nikolas killed Austin for revenge
Nikolas killed Austin for revenge

Nikolas Cassadine has his share of reasons to stay far, far away from Port Charles. First, his relationship with his son Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) was rocky ever since Nikolas faked his death. It’s understandable that Spencer felt abandoned, and distances himself from his father. Emotionally, the two were further apart than ever. Spencer was back from boarding school and living at Wyndemere, distance separated father and son.

Nikolas had other problems in his life but they all stemmed from the same issue. It was a vicious cycle back when Spencer and Esme both had it out for Nikolas and Ava. As a result, Spencer’s resentment towards his dad and step mom helped fuel Esme’s agenda. Additionally, Spencer unknowingly fed into Esme’s trap which helped lead Ava and Nikolas astray from each other. It was the straw the broke the camel’s back for Spencer.

Nikolas Killed Austin Over Ava?!

Once Esme seduced Nikolas and she became pregnant, time eventually did its job. It was only a matter of time that Spencer found out about how his father Nikolas slept with Esme. At this point Spencer had been betrayed by Nikolas enough. And on top of that, he found out who is girlfriend really was.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) was roped into the middle of it all between Nikolas and Spencer. But Ryan’s fixation on Ava fueled Esme’s entire plot, resulting in Ava’s marriage to Nikolas. According to General Hospital spoilers, Nikolas gets his revenge! The last time that he saw Ava was the night she thought she killed him. Until recently, Ava assumed that he was dead. Thanks to Austin, Ava was able to hide Nikolas’s body, or so she thought. That’s when one thing lead to another and Ava ended up sleeping with Austin. Now, Nikolas wants revenge.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas killed Austin for revenge. He knows that Ava thought that she killed him, and the fact that she slept with Austin might be enough motive.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Roger Howarth’s Dreaded Phone Call, GH and OLTL Star Exposes Truth Behind GH Exit

Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH
Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH

Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) was doing the right thing after doing a many things wrong. Although Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, Austin still carried out criminal acts on top of the lies he told to Ava Jerome (Maura West). The thing is that Austin wasn’t a bad guy but he did bad things because Cyrus had the upper hand. After all, it was Cyrus who paid Austin’s way through medical school. But was it really worth it when Austin was never able to outrun his debt?

Earlier this week, General Hospital star Roger Howarth confirmed his GH exit and Austin Holt’s unexpected death. General Hospital recaps recall the latest storyline shocker! Dr. Austin Holt took the righteous path and was preparing himself to give Cyrus up to the PCPD in exchange for immunity. After all, he only commutes those crimes and told those lies because Cyrus and Mason (Nathanyael Grey) gave him no choice.

Austin Dies

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Howarth has filmed his final episode. His two and a half year run as the peculiar Dr. Austin Holt from Pautuck is over. But this isn’t the first time that Howarth’s role has been given the axe. The Daytime Emmy Winner is best known for his role as Todd Manning on One Life To Live. Since the Soap Opera’s 2012 cancellation, Howarth has played various Daytime TV roles. In fact, he became known for playing more than a couple characters on the same Soap. First Roger brought OLTL’s Manning to GH. Then, he was written off and he has played two other roles on GH following the Llanview legend. While General Hospital fans mourn Austin’s death and Howarth’s departure, hope remains that he returns as someone entirely new.

Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH

“Several weeks ago I got a phone call from somebody I’ve known for a very long time who I love very dearly [GH and OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini] telling me that when my contract was up at ABC I would not be offered a new contract and that the character of Austin would be killed, and that this was something they both wanted and needed to do to move story,” the iconic daytime television star revealed to Soap Opera Digest. “And it took me a minute to kind of adjust, to kind of hear the news; it took a second for me to let that settle in.

“And then, immediately, I realized how lucky I was to have been able to do something I really love doing for more than a decade with people who I really enjoyed working with,” Howarth continued. “I’m a lucky guy. I had a great run and this was a decision made by people who make these kinds of decisions for a living. For me, I felt it was very much like that scene in Moneyball and Jonah Hill had just told me I’ve been traded. I feel very respected and supported. For a long time, I’ve enjoyed coming to work, learning lines, and saying them with really cool people.”

Will Roger Return In His Fourth Role?

So much is to be said about a 30+ year acting career. Daytime Television has been luck to have a talent such as Roger. The best is yet to come!

Clearly, there is no bad blood between Howarth, Valentini, and TPTB over at GH. Roger’s statement clarifies any misunderstandings that may have developed through recent GH rumors. Although Roger cleared the air and shared the truth behind his GH exit, one thing remains uncertain. Soaps are known for some wild casting shifts. And it just so happens that Howarth is iconically known for his role change-ups. Three different roles on one drama is impressive but can he match co-star Michael Easton at four?
