GH 1/19/2024 | Esme is desperate

[@jf-ic9tz]

“stay away from me!” she yells in ava’s place of business that she arrived to uninvited lmao

[@HelloGudbye93]

Some people are really taking this scene and running with it. Ava having a conversation with Esme doesn't mean that she's on Esme's side in any way shape or form 🙄 Ava isn't an unfeeling monster. If Ava is bombarded with news of a baby being kidnapped by her duplicitous ex husband, her first instinct wouldn't be to cackle maniacally and throw Esme out. She's rightfully shocked by what she's just heard and is gleaning basic information: who, what, when, where, and how-- like any normal person would do. She didn't offer to help Esme, didn't comfort her, or even wish her well. Esme is a belligerent psychopath who destroyed her family and terrorized her pseudo-daughter right under her nose. Ava taking five minutes to gain a clear picture of these new developments means nothing

[@desmawalker556]

Well said... Very well said. 👍😀👏👏

[@creating1_c1999]

Spot on. I also think she was trying to contain her reaction that Nik didn't go straight out but made a detour.

[@HelloGudbye93]

@@creating1_c1999 Right! Her badmouthing Nikolas wasn't done in a sisterhood-bonding-over-a-common-enemy type of way. She was just reacting in real time to Nik withholding info from her (once again). Ava's never had a problem calling Nikolas out on his bs. Even in front of Esme.

Yep. @@HelloGudbye93

[@ddlovesjc1]

So well said!! I had similar thoughts regarding this scene. And once again Annabelle shows just how manipulative she is. She used her loss of a child to “try” to get her on her side because of Kiki. Just like she did yesterday with Cyrus with this is “your” family. She would never let Cyrus around Ace, but she used whatever she could.

I enjoyed watching Esme be absolutely desperate and no one can really help her. Esme really thought that Ava could help her, Ava has shown that she will throw Esme under the bus without any hesitation.

[@tr738]

Ava did feel sorry for her bc she hit her vulnerable spot of what it’s like to lose a child. That should have been a clue to Ava that Esme remembers. Laura isn’t buying what Spencer said, but if he talks to Ava, I bet she will.

[@amusicfan25a21]

@tr738 Ava wasn't going to help Esme, and I loved seeing Esme think that she would try. Laura will pay for her association with Esme just like everyone else has paid for their association with Esme. Laura is acting a lot like she did when Nikolas was with Gia, and eventually, Laura really had no relationship with Nikolas and Gia. I think that history is going to repeat itself there.

[@creating1_c1999]

I think that Ava was pissed a bit because she didn't know of Nik's plans to see Spencer or Ace. She expected him to leave without contacting his family. Now she realizes that he conveniently left that out. I agree Laura is acting like she did with Gia. I also don't think she knows about Paris. We'll see. Wed is the 'bon voyage' and they land on Friday. @@amusicfan25a21​

Ava, You Go Girl

[@flacagonzales]

I took this scene as Ava extracting information from Esme. Ava gave nothing up until Esme spilled the details. Ava is always going to bad mouth Nicholas cause she's pissed off, but I still think she wasn't going to help.

[@desmawalker556]

I totally agree. 😀

[@CJ3581]

Valid point. I was confused bc Ava seemed mad that Nicholas took Ace when in the court house she was like smeh Ace has family that will take care of him. So i was surprised and disappointed in her response. But being separated from her child is a vulnerable point for Ava so I guess she was triggered.

[@creating1_c1999]

She was voi dering E.

[@sabrinahughes9699]

​@@CJ3581 Hi CJ: Yes I think Ava was triggered. But, when she finds out she has her memories back Ava will have a total different story. Besides, Ava should of known her memories were back only the old Esme knew how Nicholas felt about her. If everyone she has talked to would just revisit their conversation with her they would know her memories are back.

[@CJ3581]

@@sabrinahughes9699 very true. I’m giving Ava some grace but in the moment I was having feelings lol.

[@sabrinahughes9699]

You are right the mothers of PC are a special bunch of women but none of them have jumped of a parapit in frozen waters. Esme sees her child as a possession that she uses at her will and she does it with or without her memories. She wants a man that despises her. But for the sake of his brother has tried to get along with her and coparent Ace with her. But that wasn't enough for her so she comes up with moving out to draw him closer to her but that backfired. She now has her memory back. She drops off Ace every chance she gets. I am glad Spencer gave Ace to Nicholas. She would harmed that baby. Remember when her mother jumped of a roof top with baby Danny in her arms and Jason saved the baby. Like Mother Like Daughter.

[@ericaellis4983]

Yes, I remember Heather with Sam and Jason's son Danny. Mother like daughter. Esme like Heather Webber.

[@marshagreen9759]

Thanks for this video. Ava should have not said anything to Esme about Nicholas. It seems like many are missing the point about why Spencer gave Ace to his dad. Esme has been off since that conversation with Trina over at Laura's. Trina and Joss went over to Spencer's and gave that dart board. Esme comes over and sees Trina and Joss there and asks to speak to Trina outside. Trina told Esme that she loves Spencer and wants a life with him. Decorating the Christmas tree that night with Ace, memory flash, she dropped the bulb, and that started her acting strange. I would have asked her to leave, this chick is so clever, she is laying ground for something bad to happen.

[@desmawalker556]

That's a very keen observation on your part My Lady, that I didn't even consider. 👍😀👏👏

[@creating1_c1999]

E gave more info than she extracted: He's wealthy, has islands. E wanted to play with the big dawgs. She doesn't even have the ante to get into the game this round. That's why she's running to cry to Heather next, while #Sprina are on their way to Paris.

[@ericaellis4983]

Esme is a bad seed. It's in her DNA. Look at her parents, Ryan and Heather. The nanny told Esme not looking for her biological parents, but Esme wanted to know her father. Esme found Ryan.

[@blackbutterfly3364]

This show got on my last nerve trying to prop Esme as the teary eyed Karen who just wants to be a mother and is fighting for her child. And her thinking Spencer's the same guy who was hanging onto anger and resentment towards his dad; think again. They really want the audience to cheer for Esme, but that won't be happening from me; not when she had no regard for what she did to her peers. She could have snuffed out Trina had she gotten the dosage wrong when she violated her by drugging her. Or, what about when she recorded Cam and Joss having sex and posted it on the internet. She didn't care about the number of dangerous sex offenders who watched that. And as far as her freaking out about Nicholas, it's not as if he's some stranger. He's the guy she chose to sleep with and get pregnant by. Esme made a choice to get pregnant to save her ass; and to manipulate those around her. And she tried it with Spencer after hearing from Trina that her and Spencer were going to France. She tried using Ace to guilt Trina and then Spencer thinking he'd stay. Same Esme.

[@desmawalker556]

Preach On It, Sis !!! 👍💖😀👏👏👏

[@creating1_c1999]

GH played themselves with dragging out this story and lost a ton of viewers who they won't likely get back. They are not even realizing that the #1 cyber crime (or don't care) is revenge porn/sextortion. This story is a sore spot for anyone whose life has been ruined or their survivors who have had to move on after their loved one committed s.u.i.c.i.d.e. You're absolutely correct. Before E knew Ace was gone she was begging Spencer not to go to Paris.

@@flacagonzales It was foul. They almost had Ava on the brink of feeling sorry for her. Which by the way speaks to her ability to empathize. Too bad Esme can't say the same. Anyways, Esme f*cked around with a Cassadine and found out the hard way. She rolled back into Port Charles in late 2022 with a nefarious plan and now Karma's biting her in the ass.

[@tr738]

Come on Ava. Don’t let her pull the mother having her child taken from her card on you. If nothing else, Esme saying she went to Cyrus should have raised a red flag. Why would Esme with no memories go to someone like that. Also, how would Esme with no memories know how deeply Nic loved Ava and that he wouldn’t be able to stay away from her. She’s said herself, the things people have told her are just stories. That kind of knowledge would have to be known.

[@marshagreen9759]

Esme never lost her memories; she is a pro, and she is lost without her baby Ace. Ace was her meal ticket and her Powerball. Esme is good like her dad Ryan; you notice Kevin hardly says a word to her. Esme is dangerous, slick, evil, and cunning.

[@creating1_c1999]

She is spiraling. Didn't she come to Ava? Then had the nerve to run out ranting "stay away from me" Now does this remind you of Heather's LSD trip...LOL.

[@tr738]

@@marshagreen9759 I think she did. That’s why they showed her having all those flashbacks. Weird she doesn’t seem to recall her time prior to finding out Ryan was her father though. She told Trina she wasn’t raised by her parents, like she’d want to be, but she was raised by her adoptive parents. That was kind of an indication of her having her memories too. She should have said she didn’t remember being raised by parents, not that she wasn’t raised by her parents.

As I have said, Spencer handing over that baby was a step too far. No one is going support a child being stripped from his mother. I have sympathy for Spencer because he was left to figure out right from wrong without proper guidance in life. He thought he was doing the right thing but his father manipulated him once again.

It’s crazy to know that the desperation she has( Esmè) isn’t for her SON AT ALL! The desperation is the fact that ACE is her LEVERAGE to keep Spencer from going to Paris with Trina! It was NEVER about finding Ace. Let’s not forget why she gave him the name ACE in the first place. He was her “ ACE in the hole.” Her ticket to freedom. And what she did to Kevin and what she’s about to do to Spencer is going to get Nikolas’s charges DROPPED!

[@danarenee6088]

Every single mother in port Charles (with the exception of Portia) have horrible horrible things!! Elizabeth, Carly, Ava even Felicia! No matter how bad of people they behaved like nobody ever took their kids away. Esme is a good mother. If her being a horrible person (which she is I don’t deny that) means she should have her child taken away, then Liz should lose all 3 of her boys, Carly should never be able to speak to any of her kids again, Alexis shouldn’t be able to talk to her girls. Like I dislike Esme as a person but she is a good mom and by general hospital standards she’s not even the worst mom we’ve ever seen. I just want Spencer to be happy with Trina and just stay away from Esme and let her and her son be alone

[@TheGreatVictorNewman]

I agree except about Spencer being happy he deserves suffering this was done specifically to hurt Esme for sleeping with Nikolas not to "save" Ace, but Trina should be happy. Sadly Esme is Kevin's relative and as such she gets endless suffering like Livvie Locke, Ryan Chamberlain, and Kevin Collins. But you are right Spencer should leave her alone but he won't he'll find another excuse to bother and harass her and manipulate her like usual.

What are you talking about. Ava had her kid taken away. Carly had her kids taken away. Carly and Ava have both lost children. Esme needs to suffer this is a good start. She also needs to do jail time.

[@TheGreatVictorNewman]

@@blee5669 Esme did go to jail and was imprisoned by Nikolas and Liz then went to Spring ridge then went back they let her out to play god then complain about her not being there, and constantly harassed her about crap she didn't even remember at the time. So by your logic Esme didn't suffer enough attempted murders on her life (twice) or memory loss on top of no longer having her love interest or family member (Ryan) and now she's supposed to lose her son and be imprisoned again just so the Sprinanation can feel better about themselves, overkill, they jad already won and couldn't even get over it, she don't need to lose her son but she will it's GH whether she was a saint or a sinner Cassadines will still your baby it doesn't matter in the long run. But if it's a moral thing Carly should be in Jail, Sonny should be in jail, Laura, Curtis, Liz, Finn, Felicia, Lucy, Kevin, Nikolas, Spencer, Valentine, Dante, Dex, Joss, Jake, Jason, Alexis, Michael, Lisel, Scott, Jordan, pretty much the whole cast and fired from practicing medicine. Nina, Willow and the kids not including Charlotte are the only non actively committed crimes people that didn't serve justice either or did people forget Esme memory equals half Port Charles goes up the river with her. Ace had nothing to do with morality or Esme Karma it was about Power and making sure she knew her place as their whipping girl. Spencer and Nikolas were warring with Ava for years and couldn't do a thing to her so they both went after Avery and she was protected so they chose Ava lite for all their aggression and manipulation Esme Prince. They can't tango with Ava but made sure to kiss ass before going after someone with no family or backing that couldn't fight back and they could manipulate she was an easy mark being lonely and desperate for love and acceptance. Spencer and Nikolas are infact bullies ask Hayden and Violet. They saw a weaker target and jumped on it with justification galore so people wouldn't condemn them for it, as you can see it worked until they find a new patsy to beat up on and bully for whatever reason rinse and repeat.

[@TheGreatVictorNewman]

@@creating1_c1999 No he wasn't he was waiting for justification and got it he was stalking her the whole time just to do this to her with justification because he himself didn't want to be harassed and persecuted its the equivalent of the fake preacher hating loose women but always sleeping with them and then condemning them because he's filthy himself. Spencer is a creep and for Trina sake I hope she realizes it and gets out better he come after her because she steps out of line. When it happens I hope she's strong enough to fight back and leave for good.

Today’s scenes with Ava and esme didn’t make sense. Ava hates and can’t stand esme and esme only went to Ava to manipulate her by brining up loosing her child. The writing on gh is so inconsistent because there is writers in the writers room who favor esme and want her with spencer and other writers who don’t like her and want her off the show.

[@amusicfan25a21]

Avery should have known by now that her time on GH is being wasted and NAC doesn't want Spencer with Esme and he is getting what he wants. Esme will be going to jail for her prior behavior and crimes during the February Sweeps. I think that the powers that be really thought that they could get away with giving Esme amnesia and putting Spencer back together with Esme when Spencer clearly doesn't want Esme back and Esme always needs someone to prop her up and that's because Esme has no friends and no life outside of Ace and that's on the powers that be who gave up on Esme and her character development months ago and now the powers that be have to deal with it.

[@creating1_c1999]

I think the producers wanted her around because they thought she was bringing in ratings. After the numbers came in for the year, they realized they lost a lot. That is likely due to dragging out the justice for the s.e.x crimes/assault that E got basically erased and replaced with "orphan Annie" trope with a baby. Now they have no choice but to get as much mileage as they can because they never intended to use her properly, just angst. They could have easily had her clear Trina's name and still return pregnant. Instead they chose to delay justice. Their ratings/views suffered. They are never getting those viewers back.
