‘General Hospital’: Esme Prince Redemption Ahead?

General Hospital’s Esme Prince is a character that appears beyond redemption. However, the teen’s memory loss may set the stage for her transformation on the ABC sudser.

General Hospital: Esme Prince a Supervillain

GH fans know Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is about as evil as they come. After all, she was groomed by her psycho serial killer daddy Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom). From the moment Esme arrived in Port Charles she’s done one horrible thing after another.

First, she set Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) car on fire. Then, she filmed and leaked the video of Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and her then-boyfriend Cameron Webber (William Lipton). Plus, she drugged Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali).

Then, framed her for the revenge video. And to top it all off she seduced Nikolas Cassadine (then Marcus Coloma) and wound up pregnant with his baby. Indeed, it looked like Esme was too far gone to ever be redeemed.

However, now she’s lost her memory on General Hospital. And Esme seems like a completely different person. So, this may be the beginning of a fresh start for the teen villainess.

Memory Loss Twist on GH

Fan’s didn’t see it coming when the teen psycho lost her memory. She finally escaped captivity at Wyndermere when she jumped off the turret and washed up on the Haunted Star. And from that moment on she was a different person on General Hospital.

Now that she has no memory of who she is and what she’s capable of it’s like she’s a decent person now. She was even afraid of her father who was her hero before. Plus, she wants nothing to do with her mother, Heather Webber (Alley Mills) after being to desperate to find her.

No doubt, she truly seems to love her newborn son Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay). At first, Esme saw her baby as leverage. But this new version genuinely wants to be a good mom and protect her child. So, this looks like a turning point and she may no longer be a mega-villain on GH.

Is Esme a New Person on General Hospital?

It appears the powers that be found a way to redeem Esme by wiping out her memories. Even if she does get her memories back, by the time that happens she might be so different that she can’t go back to her old ways.

She might truly want to be good especially for the sake of Ace. And with her psycho father dead that might be possible. He won’t be pulling the strings anymore and she’ll be free to act how she wants instead of following his orders.

Recently Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) said that Esme has a clean slate and she should make the most of it. So, that could very well be foreshadowing. Of course, it will take a long time before everyone can get past her actions.

And some people may never accept the new version of her. But, if other GH baddies can change, it’s possible for her also. So, be sure to tune in to the ABC soap daily to see if Esme Prince puts her evil ways behind her and makes a new life for herself.
