Esme Prince is in a tough spot on General Hospital. It has made Esme vulnerable to the extent that we could never have imagined, given her devious past. She is pregnant, and amnesiac post her leap from the Cassadine parapet. It’s becoming sort of ritualistic for Esme to fall off the Wyndemere parapet. Anyway, back to the point.
In addition to the above, the teen mom-to-be is also facing criminal charges for crimes she can’t even remember. In fact, there is nothing she can remember at this point. But that could change real fast! Once her memory is back, it could bring to light another mystery from her past! The REAL murderer of her adoptive parents.
A Blast From Esme’s Past
Esme’s amnesia has ensured that she remembers nothing of her past life on General Hospital. All she knows is that she is currently pregnant. She can’t even remember who the father of her baby is. Although, Nik told her in the previous episode that he is the father. The other thing that she knows is that Heather, for some odd reason, keeps shadowing her around the prison to ensure her safety. But for the life of her, Esme can’t figure out why. But can Esme continue to walk the ground of Port Charles with a blank memory bank? We don’t think so! Besides, keeping Esme amnesiac won’t take the story any forward.
Although Nik would prefer that Esme never regains her memory on General Hospital. He even tried to get Carolyn to brainwash Esme into permanent amnesia. It was the only way he could ensure his safety from being implicated in her kidnapping. However, Carolyn refused to do it since Esme is pregnant. We wonder if this is a hint that Esme will soon regain her memory! And when she does, there could be a lot that she could recall from her past! Even memories she had previously repressed! For instance, the truth about how her adoptive parents died!
Who Killed Esme’s Adoptive Parents On General Hospital?
A huge part of why Esme is the way she is comes from her fractured childhood on General Hospital. Apart from having the genes of two psychotic murderers, she wasn’t exactly nurtured in a healthy manner. She was adopted at birth, but her adoptive parents weren’t exactly “present” for her. Esme was mostly raised by her nanny, Maggie Fitzgerald. Thus, it makes a lot of sense that she has no idea what real and unconditional love feels like. After all, she has never really received it. That also puts in perspective her obvious lack of empathy.
When she first got involved with Spencer on General Hospital, she told him that her parents died unexpectedly in a tragedy. However, she did not divulge what the tragedy was or how it occurred. We wonder why, though? Did she just not want to talk about it, or had she repressed it? Maybe when her amnesia breaks and her memories flood back in, she may also recall what had happened to her adoptive parents. Could they have been murdered, and she witnessed it? If yes, who do we know that could’ve done the dirty deed?
There is a possibility that Heather Webber could have done it! She claims to have given Esme away at the time of her birth on General Hospital. But she is a psychotic criminal! She could be bluffing Ryan when she said that. Perhaps she has always known Esme is their daughter. And considering how protective she is of her, there is a chance at some point, she noticed the parents mistreating Esme, and she pulled the trigger on them! Do you think the story could go that way? Tell us in the comments! Meanwhile, stay tuned to General Hospital to see what happens next!
