General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) could be playing with fire now that she’s decided to hire Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) as her new receptionist. Of course, answering phones and taking down messages is simple enough, but Esme’s track record makes her a liability no matter what the job is.
Will Alexis come to regret hiring Esme? That depends on whether Esme reverts to bad behavior since that could happen with or without her memories.
Now that GH writers are sliding Esme into a new environment, we have to consider where the story might go from here.
We can think of at least one way that the show might put Esme to the test.
As The Invader’s receptionist, Esme may have opportunities to overhear things that she shouldn’t.
It’s easy to imagine Esme eavesdropping outside Alexis’ office if a conversation pops up that she’s intrigued by.
There might even be a situation where Esme accidentally overhears something through no fault of her own.
Either way, Esme may learn a major secret and leave Alexis worried that she might spill it.
Gregory Chase (Gregory Harrison) doesn’t want anyone besides Alexis to know about his ALS aka Lou Gehrig’s disease diagnosis.
Maybe Esme will become privy to Gregory’s private battle during one of his upcoming visits to see Alexis.
If so, Alexis might realize Esme found out something not meant for her ears.
Perhaps Alexis could push Esme to keep a lid on this and then worry about her potentially leaking that info.
If Esme keeps the news to herself, that could go a long way toward establishing trust with Alexis and could put her on the road to a promotion.
Then again, if Esme tries to use the info to her advantage in a subtle blackmail scenario, things may not go well for her!
It’s even possible Esme will inadvertently spill too much in some scenario with a curious Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) or Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) – though that might actually work out OK since Gregory needs to be honest with them anyway.
Regardless, Gregory will inevitably stop by The Invader and lean on Alexis again, so it’s reasonable to assume Esme might snoop and figure out what he’s hiding.
What Esme does with that information could play a role in what’s next for her character.
General Hospital spoilers say Esme might get updates on a shocker, so stay tuned!
