General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Never Got a DNA Test — Is Ace Really Spencer’s Baby?

General Hospital spoilers suggest Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is a woman full of secrets, and one of the biggest has little to do with Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) and everything to do with his son, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez). When Esme first came to Port Charles, parading around as Spencer’s girlfriend from across the pond was just a ruse.

The entire time, she was scheming with her psychopathic father, Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom), to take the Cassadine family down from the inside out. Getting pregnant with Nikolas’ child after a one-night stand with him certainly helped her make her mark on Spencer, but not nearly as much as she will when he learns Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) was never his little brother, but his son.

General Hospital Spoilers — Nikolas Cassadine Returns

Nikolas is probably still recovering in a hospital bed somewhere right now as Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) tends to him, but rumor has it he’s not far off from bouncing back and coming home.

Everyone thinks he fled Port Charles on the heels of Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl squealing about his involvement in holding her hostage, all thanks to Ava Jerome Cassadine (Maura West) leading them to that conclusion after she clocked him over the head and left him for dead.

When he comes back to town, he’ll be ready to see his son, Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay). There’s just one catch, Ace isn’t his son.

GH Spoilers – Claim He Lawyers Up

When Esme refuses to give Nikolas access to Ace, General Hospital spoilers show complications are going to ensue for the whole family. Understandably, Esme is traumatized by having been held captive by Nikolas.

She doesn’t trust him and doesn’t want him anywhere near Ace. That being said, Spencer wants to make peace with his father since learning it was really his own fault for letting Esme into their lives — and that she was plotting against them the entire time.

If Nikolas is going to get visitation with his son and have any shot at seeking custody, he’ll have to retain a pretty brilliant attorney. Step one? A paternity test. A legal formality to prove to the judge that the child Nikolas is chasing after is indeed his child. Oops, she’s done it again.

General Hospital Spoilers — Is Not Nik, Then Who?

When Nik’s attorney orders a paternity test, it’s going to shock Esme — who won’t really know how to pull it off other than to pretend she didn’t know. The truth will have to come out. Spencer is Ace’s father; Nikolas is his grandfather.

That doesn’t mean anyone needs to know Esme knew that the entire time, right? There was only one person she told — her father, and he’s dead. It’s too bad he let it slip to Esme’s mommy, Heather Webber (Alley Mills), who just might hold it against her as a means of weaseling her way back into Esme’s and Ace’s lives.

Can’t you just see Esme dragging Ace to D’Archem to visit his grammy? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers just ahead.
