General Hospital Spoilers: Amnesia Or Not, Esme’s Up To Her Old Tricks

Esme comes between Spencer and Trina
Esme comes between Spencer and Trina

I don’t know about you, but to me it looks like Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is going to explode. Her calm demeanor, even when exhausted and flustered, makes me think that this is the calm before the storm.

Is Esme faking? At this point I’d say that she is most likely not faking her amnesia. However, something tells me that the old Esme is still in there somewhere. Currrently, the young mother is doing her best to care for her son Ace (Jay and Joey Clay), and to live up to expectations. So far so good, as the Spencer and Cassadine families are impressed by Esme’s 180.°

Meanwhile, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) continues to build his relationship with long awaited love, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Their weekend getaway to New York was everything and more. Additionally, their bond is stronger because of it. But is it strong enough to withstand the force that tore them apart the first time?

Esme’s Up To Her Old Tricks

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that as Spencer and Esme spend more family time with Ace and even Laura (Genie Francis) and Kevin (Jon Lindstrom), Esme develops increasingly strong feelings for Spence. She knows he’s happy with Trina, but at the same time she can’t help but feel this immense sense of family she and Spencer are together with Ace. According to General Hospital rumors, Esme can’t help herself, and she begins to display dishonest behavior that resembles Esme’s old ways. Apparently, she starts getting sneaky with Spencer as a way tk get what she wants… him. Whether or not the old, twisted Esme is back, or if revamped is just determined to get the man she desires, things begin to get weird over at Laura and Kevin’s. Before you know it, Esme makes her way into Spencer’s bed, leaving Trina out in the cold.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) killed Nikolas Cassadine, or so she thinks. She’ll do anything to protect her daughter Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola). That’s why she didn’t think twice when she clubbed Nikolas over the head when he threatened to take her daughter. Even still, she didn’t mean to kill him, and with Austin’s help, that’s exactly what she thinks.

Nikolas unveils himself to Ava

Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) helped Ava move Nik’s seemingly lifeless body, but neglected to tell her the truth. GH recaps recall that Austin knows exactly where Ava’s ex-husband disappeared to, and that he’s been kept alive. Now, he’s in hiding until the moment is right.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that it’s about that time when Nikolas shows himself. Meanwhile, Mason (Nathanyael Grey) boldly abducted Ava straight from Wyndemere. In fact, he didn’t even try to disguise himself. While GH fans question where Mason takes Ava, GH spoilers tease that Ava’s headed straight to Nikolas.

Roger Howarth explains GH exit
Roger Howarth explains GH exit

Daytime television star, Roger Howarth is best know for his iconic role on ABC’s One Life To Live. Sadly, the soap opera came to an end after over 43 years. Even after OLTL’s final episode in 2012, Roger Howarth’s portrayal of Todd Manning continued. That was went Howarth joined OLTL’s sister soap, the wildly popular General Hospital.

However, due to legal issues, the character names were prohibited for use at GH. Therefore, the story shifted, Todd Manning was no more, and Roger Howard with now James Franco’s replacement as Franco Baldwin. He won over fans despite the nature of the role, and circumstances lead to a personality revamp for Franco. Another twist and turn killed off Franco, which riffled a lot of fan’s feather. Alas, Howarth returns as the odd ball doctor, Dr. Austin Gatlin Holt, son of Jimmy Lee Holt.

So, why has he been missing from the canvas?

I can just hear it now, “Mason the Hero!” Will Austin Holt’s mysterious, bald headed, lollipop licking cousin go from a miscreant to a knight in shining armor? From Ava’s worst nightmare to her rescuer?

If you missed any part of Fridays 9/29/23 episode, then you may have missed the dramatic scene on Spoon Island. General Hospital recaps indicate that Ava’s in a bad way! Over at Wyndemere, Ava Jerome (Maura West) collects her thoughts. She’s finally alone for the night and can kick back when she’s interrupted by an unwanted guest. Then, Mason appears right before her eyes! Well, we can assure you that he didn’t whisk her off her feet and head to Paradise. But we do have an inkling that if Mason chooses differently, Ava will be dead.

Mason Does The Right Thing… For A Reward?

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Mason saves Ava’s life while risking his own. As of now, Ava thinks she killed her ex-husband. In fact, she had a witness. But neither of them even checked to see if he was actually dead. And besides, Austin’s lying to Ava anyway. He knows darn all that Nikolas is alive but he’s playing this game with Mason and their mystery boss. While it’s apparent that Austin can’t be trusted, he doesn’t aw all bad. Perhaps he’s being forced or coerced? Either way, Ava can’t trust him.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Is Alive! Mason Uses Nikolas As Leverage Over Austin And Ava

Now she’s been abducted by his cousin and her life is in danger. However, GH spoilers and rumors hint that Mason makes a decision that saves Ava’s life. As more about Cyrus’s connection to Mason and Austin unfolds, GH rumors speculate that Cyrus ordered Mason to kill Ava but Mason can’t go through with it. Instead, he brings her to Nikolas Cassadine.

Ok, maybe a little.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas offered Mason a generous reward if he delivered Ava to him. From this point on, Mason has a target on his back.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ava, Carly, and Nina React! Ava’s Spooked, Carly Is Determined, and Nina Is Desperate

Ava, Carly, and Nina react
Ava, Carly, and Nina react

It seems that everyone in Port Charles has their mind set on something. Presumably killing your husband, blackmailing a Judge, and covering up your own lies to hold onto your man would surely steer anyone’s focus.

It’s no coincidence that these three ladies are intertwined amidst separate and mutual issues around Port Charles. Obviously, being close enough to Sonny Corinthos will put you in this position/predicament. All three woman are former lovers of the monster, as well as mothers of his children.

Will Ava, Carly, and Nina Get Answers?

According to General Hospital spoilers, Ava Jerome (Maura West) can’t take her mind off of a pressing issue. Aside from presumably killing her husband Nikolas Cassadine, Ava’s focused on her new friend Austin Holt (Roger Howarth), and what he’s hiding. The former Mrs. Cassadine has lost trust now that Ava’s aware that the other half of her situationship has been taking meetings in Pentonville. The latest General Hospital previews indicate that Ava’s spooked and drops her drink. Something or someone startled her enough, to the point that she dropped her drink and it shattered into pieces on the floor. Does Nikolas come clean to Ava?

Meanwhile, Carly is determined to keep Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) out of Pentonville. GH spoilers tease that Carly has dirt on the Judge who sentenced Drew and she’s not afraid to use it. Will her plan work or backfire?

At this point in their lives, Nina Reeves is closest to Sonny as he walks into a mob war as naturally as breathing. Unlike Carly and Ava’s mob experience, Nina lacks the knowledge and the know-how it takes to stand by Sonny’s side and face your first mob war as a close loved one. GH spoilers tease that Nina’s desperate to keep her lies and unjustified entanglements under wraps. Her desperate comes from her fear of losing Sonny. However, she only has herself to blame.

General Hospital Spoilers: Will Y&R Alum Jordi Vilasuso Take Over As Nikolas Cassadine?

Jodi Vilasuso as new Nikolas Cassadine

Nikolas Cassadine was first introduced on General Hospital in 1996. Tyler Christopher originated the role and left a lasting legacy. While the time has changed hands a few times over the years, Tyler Christopher’s portrayal of Nikolas Cassadine is forever iconic.

In 2019, Marcus Coloma joined General Hospital cast as the 5th actor to play the infamous Dark Prince of Spoon Island. Despite the fresh faces that played Nikolas in between Christopher and Coloma, those two actors left behind the most memorable impressions.

Stephen Martines/Coltin Scott as Nikolas Cassadine

As GH recaps recall, Stephen Martinez, (alternative name Coltin Scott) also played Nikolas Cassadine. While I don’t speak for everyone, but to me it feels like his 1999-2003 run as the future ex-Mr. Ava Jerome (Nik) was more like 4 weeks than 4 years. Oddly enough, Coloma spent less time in the role than Martinez, yet it seems that GH fans have a tendency to overlook Martinez as the iconic Cassadine. With all due respect to Stephen, he’s a great actor. But some people just fit it happen, and for Nikolas Cassadine, that is Tyler Christopher and Marcus Coloma.

Jodi Vilasuso as new Nikolas Cassadine

Unexpectedly, General Hospital news reports confirmed that Marcus Coloma’s contract was not renewed, and the actor was leaving the 60 year old soap. Fans and co-stars were shocked when the news broke, causing many to question the TPTB’s decision.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nikolas is ready about ready to show his face. Maybe not in Port Charles quite yet, but he’s on the love. Previously, General Hospital hired Adam Huss to step in for Coloma on brief occasions, and then again when Marcus Coloma left General Hospital. This brought about confusion among fans, especially because of what what’s going on with Nikolas’s character. Ava Jerome had just bonked him over the head during the role change-up.

So naturally, confusion grew around whether or not Nikolas was dead. Did Ava really kill him? Also, how did he go missing? Meanwhile, Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth) had all of the answers. Obviously, we all know now that Bik is alive and well. The role was recast by Adam Huss, but there isn’t confirmation on whether or not Huss is here to stay. That said, GH spoilers tease that it’s possible that Y&R star, Jodi Vilasuso is gearing up to play the infamous Nikolas Cassadine.

General Hospital Spoilers: Cassadine’s Unite In The Biggest Takeover Attempt Yet- Nikolas and Valentin Are Pikeman?!

Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman

Once a Cassadine, always a Cassadine! Could it be true that Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman?!?! It’s a fact! Despite what Ava was told, her ex-husband Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) isn’t dead. In fact, he’s very much alive. Some might say that he’s more alive than ever before. With a Cassadine bloodline comes power and expectations, along with loyalty to the family.

Previously, GH spoilers and rumors teased that Valentin Cassadine is heavily involved with Pikeman- more so than he ever let Anna know. Before Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) death, he and his son Valentin didn’t see eye to eye. Victor wanted Cassadine unity in order to take over Port Charles, and the world. However, Valentin opposed such control and rejected evil Cassadine ways. But what if Victor had special plans for his son in The Haunted Star? Plans that maybe Valentin couldn’t refuse.

Never Trust A Cassadine- Nik and Val Follow In Victor’s Footsteps?

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas and Valentin joined forces to carry out Victor’s wishes. Undoubtedly, each and every Cassadine has darkness within them. Ok, maybe not Alexis and her girls). But it’s pretty clear that Nikolas and Valentin are as dark as it gets.

Additionally, Valentin knows that Anna and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) are dear friends. So it honestly makes sense that Nikolas and Valentin would target bother Sonny and Anna. Furthermore, the connection between Anna, Sonny, and Ava to the Cassadines is enough reason why it’s quite possible that Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman!

Why is he so chill about everything? Did Laura really find stability and balance in Kevin or is her life about to enter into another cyclones?

Who does Laura discover in Russia Laura and Kevin Nikolas Cassadine

Who does Laura discover in Russia? When it comes to a shocking discovery, Russia doesn’t disappoint. Nikolas Cassadine is missing and so far, the only one to take charge in is search is his mother Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis).

Recent General Hospital recaps recall Laura, Kevin (Jon Lindstrom), and Valentin’s failed attempt to find Nikolas. Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) even came back home to Port Charles, and reunited with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). Meanwhile, General Hospital spoilers tease, as Valentin reconnects with Anna, Laura and Kevin plan the next leg of the search mission.

According to recent GH spoilers, Laura and Kevin’s mission becomes far from uneventful. Besides the obvious assumption, who does Laura discover in Russia other than Nikolas? That is, if she and Kevin even find Nikolas at all. Lately, GH rumors speculate that the time for Nikolas to return is near. Therefore, it’s more likely that he’ll be found held captive as his mom does anything in her power to come to his rescue.

Other than Nikolas, who else could be sharing space as prisoner? We know that Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) has his eyes on Nikolas. But who has their eyes on Mason?? Mason might seem in charge, but we all know he’s not the one calling the shots.
