GENERAL HOSPITAL: Esme Remembers It All and Visits Ryan’s Grave: Will She Successfully Split Apart Sprina?
On General Hospital, Esme’s (Avery Pohl) memories have returned. She recalls her evil ways and all horrible things she did to several of the citizens of Port Charles, but more specifically to: Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez), Cameron Webber (William Lipton) and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). Not to mention her epic fight with Ava Jerome (Maura West), and being locked up for months by Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma and later Adam Huss).
With her memories unleashed on Tuesday’s episode of General Hospital, what’s a girl to do? Visit the grave of her criminally insane late father, Ryan Chamberlain, that’s what!
Before she ‘visits’ Ryan, Esme calls Spencer. She seems to want to tell him the ‘good news’ but in the process hears Trina in the background, saying, “What does she want?” Esme tells Spencer that Ace can stay for Christmas with him, and hangs up.

Next, Esme looks at a photo of Spencer on her phone. She cries out that she was a fool to think she could tell him the truth, and he’d forgive her and that they could be together. She is well aware how much Spencer loves Trina, and if she told him she remembered that would drive him further away.
Conflicted as to what to believe about herself moving forward, she speaks to Ryan at this gravesite. She thinks it should be easy to be a good person, but nobody showed her how to do it, and she had to learn it on her own.
Esme says out loud that she has a good life, a good job, and an amazing child and home. She is happy, or at least she thinks she is. It’s hard to know as this feeling is so new to her.

Then. the flipside of Esme emerges. She tells her father that there is another path too, the crooked one, and it would be so easy to go back. She wonders what if she doesn’t have a choice. What if being bad is in her DNA? All of a sudden she realizes one of her gloves is missing. Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) found it on Spoon Island and showed Ava, as they are still trying to figure out who broke into Wyndemere.
With Esme’s memories back, is it only a matter of time that with her shrewdness she splits apart Sprina? Michael Fairman TV chatted with Avery Pohl in an all new interview about Esme’s feelings for Spencer and more.
So, what do you think will happen next? Will the evil Esme take over and seek havoc on Sprina? With Heather Webber (Daytime Emmy winner Alley Mills) returning this week, what will Esme’s mom have to say about all this? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
Omg I hope she splits them up. Trina and Spencer together are really hard to take. They bring out the worst in each other and the actors seem to struggle with the pairing too. After months of watching self-righteous Trina and self-absorbed Spencer (he tried to get Trina to quit university & give up her future to follow him around!), I am 100% Team Esme. Trina was strong, intelligent and independent, but with Spencer she is verging on manipulative and petty, and it’s just not the same character.
Could not agree more. I have not taken to this Trina. I loved the original. But I can’t see either with Spencer. Esme & Spencer are it for me.
lol yall are truly sad & pathetic
Funny you are describing Esme. She has been manipulate and petty since arriving in Poet Charles. Having a baby and amnesia didn’t change her personality/characteristics although GH seems to want us to forget her behavior over the summer.
Esme will likely split them uo. It’s a soap opera. I would like to see Esme take responsibility. She could go to her boss Alexis for advice.
First of all. Esme needs to pay for what she did to Trina Joss and Cam. Second she needs to get her own man. Not Spencer. She doesn’t want to be friends with Trina. She is just trying to get Spencer to leave Trina. But it’s not going to work. Esme please leave Spencer alone. He is taken. The writers and FV need to hurry up and get evil Esme her own man. And not Spencer. Third I like this Trina. I don’t know why. So many people don’t like her. She is a very intelligent smart Beautiful Amazing Actress. Her and Spencer. Work really well together. So if no one else like this Trina ( Tabyana) I do. And I also liked the first Trina. Both of them are very great actresses. Each of them have there own style of acting. I don’t know why. Some of y’all are saying. I don’t like this Trina. I liked the first Trina better. Well get used to it. If you don’t like watching. Spencer and Trina. STOP WATCHING GH. I LOVE WATCHING THEM AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. SPENCER N TRINA OUR # 1 COUPLE ON GH. EVERYONE HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR (2024)
I love the actress and I love the reborn Esme. The only way she can “stay on” is to continue to be reformed, regardless of her bad, past behavior.— I can’t stand nuTrina—no excitement —such a weak , lackluster personality —no there there.
I think that deep down Spence still loves Esme and Ace is subconsciously a means to an end.
Let’s keep Esme on as a good girl with a little harmless devil in her.
Id really hope that Esme takes the high road despite what her loony mother told her. Esme has a chance to embrace a new beginning and needs to move on past Spencer. I think GH also needs to introduce some new blood into the show. Liked the episode with Alexa and Gregory skydiving and then kissing.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
