General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Chavez) custody fight could lead to some unanticipated consequences. Has Spencer really thought this through and imagined what his life will be like if Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) actually pulls off a win?
Of course, Diane was quick to warn Spencer that he’d face some challenges in court.
Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) still has rights no matter what she’s done – and Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) has the resources to fight Spencer, too.
Spencer has also done two stints in prison, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Furthermore, cases of a sibling gaining custody aren’t as common and may not always offer a long-term solution.
However, there could be a few things working in Spencer’s favor.
Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) is one of them since he seems poised to turn against Nikolas in a big way and can perhaps back Spencer up in his custody mission.
We have no doubt that Victor could bribe or threaten the right judge into awarding Spencer full custody when the time comes.
With Nikolas potentially in prison or on the run by then, broke Esme may not stand a chance in a custody battle.
Since Spencer could actually win this and become a single fill-in father, we have to consider what that means for his love life.
Has Spencer thought about what this would mean for his potential future with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali)?
During the week of January 23-27, GH spoilers say Trina will grill Spencer about his motives, so she may have some of the same questions Diane did.
Perhaps Trina will suspect this is about revenge and worry Spencer is seeking custody for all the wrong reasons.
There’s no denying that Nikolas is a terrible parent – and Esme may not be much better depending on how the rest of this amnesia storyline goes.
Regardless, Spencer has to be ready to put this child first and be a better parent instead.
Trina may fear that Spencer doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into here. Spencer will be serving as a substitute daddy if he scores a victory, so is he truly prepared for that?
There’s also the matter of how Trina will feel about this. If Trina decides to be a real couple with Spencer, she’ll be in this child’s life as well.
It’s easy to imagine Trina deciding she can’t play Mom to Esme’s baby, especially when that could reignite Esme’s sinister side.
Trina may determine that there’s just too much drama involved and warn Spencer that gaining custody would be a deal-breaker for her.
Will Spencer have to decide between raising his brother or sister and a future with Trina?
It’ll be interesting to see if Spencer updates his plans or sticks to his custody goal.
General Hospital spoilers say Spencer will have to make some difficult choices in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for news on the baby saga.
