General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) will try to take Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) advice and keep up her amnesia charade. Heather pointed out that Esme has the familial gift for misdirection, so she’s counting on Esme to pretend she still can’t remember her past transgressions.
Of course, Esme doesn’t think her crimes and misdeeds are so bad anymore. Now that Esme has unlocked all her memories, she views people like Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) with contempt and feels justified in how she’s treated her.
That’ll make it difficult for Esme to pull off the innocent act that she was selling before. Laura Collins (Genie Francis) has grown quite close to Esme since her memory loss happened, so she may notice a change in her.
Laura might initially think Esme seems different because she’s living on her own now. Since Esme missed Christmas with Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay), Laura might worry that Esme is feeling burned out as a single mom who’s stressed to the max.
Esme might lean into that explanation and act like Laura’s right, but Laura’s going to make a startling discovery that could be a game-changer. During the week of January 1-5, Laura will realize something about Esme that catches her off guard.
It’s possible Laura will learn Esme went to see Heather at Pentonville, which would certainly give her a reason to be alarmed.
That could also make Laura wonder why Esme’s suddenly giving Heather attention, but Esme might act like she took pity on her locked-up mother and visited her for the holidays.
Even so, it could raise Laura’s suspicions and leave her concerned about Heather’s influence on Esme.
Another possibility is that Esme will neglect to get rid of the other glove she still has – the one that’s a match for the glove that’s now in police evidence.
Esme dropped the glove at Wyndemere that night, so it’ll be interesting if Laura spots the match and realizes Esme broke in.
That could lead to Laura confronting Esme about why she was roaming the castle, so Esme could argue that she was trying to jog her memory and pretend she failed.
Perhaps Esme could beg Laura to cover for her so that she doesn’t get in any more trouble with the cops. Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) will face a dilemma soon after Laura’s realization, so that’s something to keep in mind.
However, it’s also possible Esme will slip up and say something that sparks Laura’s realization. Esme might mention something only “the old Esme” would remember and make Laura realize “the new Esme” could be keeping secrets!
In other words, Esme might get busted by accidentally revealing something she’s not supposed to know in her amnesiac state.
General Hospital spoilers say Esme could land in a tight spot no matter how this plays out, so stay tuned for updates on Laura’s shocking news and what she’ll do next. CDL’s where you want to be for fantastic General Hospital spoilers, news and updates, so make us your favorite GH hotspot.
