General Hospital Spoilers: Esme Asks Laura To Be The Guardian Of Her Grandson

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is starting to come to grips with the reality of the future that awaits her. Initially, the young and naive new mother thought she would somehow be taking her baby back to prison with her when the time came that the hospital cleared her for release.

Hearing from Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) that this wasn’t the case was rather troubling for Esme, who still claims she can’t recall anything about her life prior to being admitted to General Hospital for hypothermia. Now, she’s given birth to her son — Ace Cassadine — and Spencer has been intent on taking his baby brother home with him. Only, that isn’t what has happened at all.

Esme appreciated the first visit she received from Spencer after she was admitted to GH, when she surfaced in front of him on the Haunted Star, having been drenched in the cold waters below. Spencer’s immediate concern was still seeing to it that Esme was taken care of.

Learning the baby she was carrying belonged to his father stung, but Spencer quickly turned lemons into lemonade by planning a massive takedown of his dad, Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss), by plotting to swindle custody of baby Ace right out of his father’s hands — only it won’t come to fruition. As Spencer prepares with baby supplies and family support to play the role of father to his brother, someone else has other plans.

GH Spoilers – Hint Cassadine Victor Has Other Plans in Mind

According to General Hospital spoilers, Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) showed up at the hospital on Friday, March 3rd, to tell Spencer he wouldn’t be taking baby Ace anywhere with him. This seemed to surprise Spencer and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) — who wasn’t fully on board with the idea of Spencer giving up his life to play dad anyway. Still, Laura hadn’t intervened with her grandson’s plan to parent her other grandson.

However, Victor might have. With Nikolas absent and having left no word on where he has gone, Victor may have swooped in to make sure he becomes the caretaker of Nik’s son, and by default, heir to the Cassadine fortune. Of course, it could be Victor who is ordering Mason (Nathanyael Grey) to hang onto a barely breathing Nikolas, too, which would all serve his plan well.

If Victor is intending to take Ace home with him, his plans might hit a snag when Esme makes her preferences known. She may have taken to Spencer the first time around, but his second visit with her — after he found out she intentionally targeted him and his family from the beginning — wasn’t so warm and inviting. Furthermore, she has come to realize that the Cassadine men seem to be out for themselves. Heather Webber (Alley Mills) may not have been right about much, but it seems she pegged Nikolas rather well.

Trusting Victor would be hard for Esme; she barely knows him and assumes he might be just like Spencer and Nikolas. That being said, Esme may ask Laura to be the caretaker for baby Ace, which could put a serious crimp in both Victor and Spencer’s plans. Will the court take Esme’s preferences into account? Will Laura be on board with taking on the responsibility of raising another one of Nikolas’ sons? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to find out.
