General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that the war is on now that Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) is fighting Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Chavez) attempts to get custody of his baby brother. Esme has turned against both Spencer and Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss), so she’s ready to dig her heels in and keep Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) for herself.
Of course, Esme has no idea where Nikolas is at the moment, but that’s fine by her since she found out he held her hostage on Spoon Island.
It looks like Nikolas will secretly remain comatose for a while, so let’s focus on Esme and Spencer in the meantime.
This custody battle could get pretty nasty since Spencer still considers Esme a threat and is prepared to do whatever it takes to gain control of Ace.
Spencer doesn’t want Ace stuck behind bars, especially with someone like Esme for a mother.
However, Esme has become protective of Ace and has plenty of reasons to fight back.
The war over Ace may get out of hand, but could there be a way to stop it down the road?
Many soap babies tend to have medical issues eventually, so Ace could be gearing up for a sudden crisis at some point.
If Ace indeed faces some sort of medical scare, that might serve as a way to remind Esme and Spencer of what’s most important.
Spencer obviously doesn’t have a great perception of Esme due to her messed-up history and all the horrible things she did to the people he cares about.
Esme also worked with Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) and duped Spencer from the start, so he understandably hates her.
Even so, Spencer could perhaps see a more vulnerable side of Esme if she genuinely ends up fearing for Ace’s life.
It could open Spencer’s mind to the idea that no matter what she did in the past, Esme at least loves her baby now and wants to do right by him.
Likewise, Esme might see Spencer in a different light as well. Spencer’s own concern for Ace could shine through if a medical crisis happens, so Esme might see that this is about more than just an entitled Cassadine’s need to control the new heir.
Bottom line, a medical scare for Ace could be a game-changer, so we’ll see if GH writers use one to make some updates to Spencer and Esme’s perspectives.
General Hospital spoilers say Ace will remain at the center of the drama, so stay tuned for news on his future.
