General Hospital spoilers tease that Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) may have made some mistakes in her past, but who in Port Charles hasn’t? Unfortunately for her, those mistakes have left her with a reputation that is going to be hard to overcome. People are watching her every move, and even a simple mistake could spell the end of her new life in the metropolis. But Esme isn’t one to back down from a challenge, and she’s starting to feel a sense of belonging in this town — even amongst those who hate her, like Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez).
That feeling is only getting stronger now that she’s started crushing on Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth). When no one else was really giving Esme a chance to be a mother without hovering, Austin had confidence in her and treated her just like he would anyone else — without any preconceived notions of her character. Could it be that Austin might eventually return her feelings?
General Hospital Spoilers — Everyone Has An Agenda
While the Cassadine and Spencer families obviously have Esme on their radar, Laura Collins’ (Genie Francis) motives may still be questionable, too. After all, every family member would want what’s best for baby Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay). Still, Laura could have her own agenda in seeing to it that Esme and her baby became reliant on her. It’s clear that Laura wants Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) to come home. Perhaps she thinks this is the best way to make sure his son is accessible to him if and when he does. If Laura is plotting against Esme in this fashion, no one could blame the young woman for feeling like no one in town actually cares about her well-being.
GH Spoilers – Suggest Austin Gatlin Holt Could Return Her Feelings
Esme’s search for acceptance and trust may finally be over thanks to Austin — her unexpected ally. As she navigates the uncertainties of motherhood, Esme is constantly under the scrutiny of others who judge her every decision, but Austin sees her for who she truly is. Is that really a caring mother who only wants the best for her child? In a sea of judgment and disapproval, he may soon become her beacon of hope. Could Austin’s bedside manner lead Esme to think she’s not the only one with sweating palms? As their bond deepens, Esme may find that her longing for acceptance has turned into something more.
General Hospital Spoilers — Will Anyone Else Accept Them?
It wouldn’t be unlike Austin to ride to the rescue of a damsel in distress. Remember Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms)? Remember Ava Jerome (Maura West)? If Austin and Esme become something of an item, onlookers might not approve of the couple. Is the age gap a factor? It’s not something we typically see on GH but times they are a changin’. Does it matter if anyone has a problem with Esme’s choice of men if she’s choosing someone as seemingly upstanding as Austin? Keep checking back for more GH news and spoilers just ahead to see how this pans out.
