General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) may plot to avenge Esme Prince’s (Avery Kristen Pohl) death and escape to target her killer, Ava Jerome Cassadine (Maura West).
Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) arranged for some fake social media posts to throw the police off the trail, but he admitted those won’t hold up under scrutiny.
It won’t be long until the cops realize Esme wasn’t really posting anything in France.
That means the investigation into Esme’s vanishing act will continue. Victor, Ava and Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) can’t be certain of Esme’s fate, but at least they’ve destroyed the evidence.
Unfortunately, that may not stop Ryan from going off the rails. Esme will inevitably show back up alive down the road, but there could be some deadly GH drama in the meantime.
Ryan has manipulated Esme enough to assume he has her loyalty.
Although Esme was planning to bolt before she fell off the parapet, she previously assured Ryan that she could never leave him.
Ryan made it clear that Esme could never truly outrun him anyway, so he doesn’t think his daughter would just skip town.
That could be important when Esme doesn’t show up to her newly reinstated internship to resume scheming.
Ryan will grow impatient and may start to believe Ava must’ve done something to Esme. After all, Ryan knew Esme slept with Nikolas as part of their plot to destroy Ava’s marriage.
Ryan may assume Ava targeted Esme in the aftermath of that revelation. It could leave Ryan determined to make Ava pay the price for Esme’s murder.
There’s a chance Ryan is lying about Esme being his biological daughter, but we should also consider the possibility that he’s telling the truth.
Ryan may not be capable of love like most people, but he was possessive over Esme and had a bond with her.
Whatever version of love Ryan feels is twisted, but he became somewhat attached to Esme despite Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) acting like he was incapable of it.
That doesn’t mean it was a healthy attachment or that it couldn’t be severed, but there was a connection – albeit a creepy one.
Since Ryan was already out for revenge on Ava, that desire will only grow stronger if he thinks she’s robbed him of his child.
Ryan killed Ava’s daughter, Kiki Jerome (Hayley Erin), but he won’t let Ava get away with doing the same thing.
It’s obvious Ryan can’t let something like this slide.
Although Ryan is dangerous enough to turn against Esme and kill her, he won’t approve if he thinks someone else has done the deed – particularly someone like Ava!
General Hospital spoilers hint that Ryan may work on his Spring Ridge getaway next, so stay tuned to see if retribution is brewing.
