General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer’s Parental Instinct Is Validated When He Learns Ace Is His Son

General Hospital spoilers leak Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) is no stranger to danger, but when his baby brother was in harm’s way, he didn’t hesitate to put himself on the line to save him.

It’s clear that Spencer’s protective instincts are strong, so strong that he leveled his great-uncle, Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) and left him for dead. Is Spencer’s connection to Ace purely a sibling bond, or does it extend to a more paternal place? The truth is about to come to light, and it might leave Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) headed for the door.

General Hospital Spoilers — Ace Cassadine Isn’t Okay

Ace’s initial check-up at GH after getting off the plane from Greenland left him with a clean bill of health, but what if the pathogen Mikko Cassadine (John Colicos) and Victor designed was intended to have long-term side effects, and what if baby Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) was exposed to it? Being in close quarters on the flight home could have left them all at risk — a last laugh on Victor’s behalf. If Ace needs a transplant of some kind, he’ll need all the blood relatives he can in his corner.

GH Spoilers – Say Esme Price Comes Clean

Esme has been willing to risk a lot thus far to get what she wants — including jumping from a parapet into icy waters while pregnant with Ace just to escape Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss), her captor. But she knows Ace now; they’ve bonded. She wants nothing more than to be the mother he deserves. She’s not going to put his health at risk when she realizes she and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) aren’t matches. She has to tell the truth: Nikolas isn’t Ace’s father; Spencer is!

General Hospital Spoilers — Lives Are Changed

Laura will suddenly be a great-grandmother, and Nikolas — wherever he may be — is off the hook for child support but might be called Gramps when he returns home. Spencer, however, has a tough road ahead sharing custody with a maniacal woman who won’t admit that she isn’t really suffering from amnesia. (Come on, does anyone really believe that?) It’s finally going to make sense to Spencer why he felt so compelled to protect Ace from Esme and have him all to himself. That doesn’t mean he’ll get what he wants though, and that extends to his relationship with Trina, who might start to feel like there is no place for her in Spencer’s life alongside his baby mama and his son. Can you see Trina being the doting stepmother? Can you see Esme allowing it? Share your thoughts with us and keep checking back for more GH news and spoilers every day.
