General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer is Gone – But It’s Not Esme Who Took Him

General Hospital spoilers report Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) may have tumbled overboard while fighting to bat Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl), and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) might have seen the whole thing go down, but somehow, that’s not what happened in the end.

Sure, he fell off the boat, and no one could have predicted it would work out that way. But the Cassadine men are nothing if not opportunists, and something tells us one of them was waiting in the wings for just the right moment to get to Spencer.

The question is…are their intentions nefarious, or not?

Of course, Esme went over the railing with Spencer. But she wasn’t drugged and unable to hold herself up in the water and breathe well.

The likelihood of Spencer surviving might be slim to nil where the authorities and search and rescue are concerned, but Esme could have swum to safety somewhere.

There may be arguments made that they were far too deep into the ocean for that to happen, but we’ve seen bigger miracles.

GH Spoilers Suggest Spencer is Presumed Dead

Everyone might be a bit on edge as long as Esme is still unaccounted for, but when the authorities can’t find a trace of Spencer, they’re going to scale back from their rescue mission and assume it will be one of recovery — if they ever see any sign of his body again.

His presumed death will rock Spencer’s family as well as Trina’s, and moving on without Spencer will leave a gaping hole in both Trina and Laura Collins’ (Genie Francis) lives. But is Spencer really dead, or is he just being kept safe?

General Hospital Spoilers — The Everlasting Cassadine Clan

In the world of Port Charles, nothing is off-limits and no storyline is too convoluted. We know that Spencer’s last conversation with his father, Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss), was a sincere one.

They both made peace with one another and said their apologies. Unfortunately for Nikolas, Spencer had zero interest in going on the run with him and abandoning his life in Port Charles with Trina.

Nikolas knew he couldn’t force his adult son to go with him, but he worried that he wouldn’t be safe left behind. Esme’s crime spree in Paris served as evidence of that, but who are we to assume Nikolas didn’t have eyes on his grown man of a son all that time?

If he did, he may have known that Esme was tailing him, and he may have been able to intervene when his son went overboard.

Call it divine intervention but somehow, there’s a chance Spencer is about to be nursed back to health — covertly, with no one knowing he was alive — by his father. Sound familiar?

It sounds like Nikolas may be taking a page from Austin Gatlin Holt’s (Roger Howarth) book, and we like it. Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers just ahead.
