General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) could have some risky tricks up his sleeve when it comes to Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) and her missing memories. Nikolas needs those memories to stay gone, so he could take drastic action to make sure that happens.
In the January 16 episode, Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) opened up about Carolyn Webber (Denise Crosby) using her expertise to repress memories from when Liz was young.
Nikolas seemed intrigued over that news and could use a similar tactic when it comes to Esme.
Although Liz understands the frustration of not being able to access puzzle pieces from your past, she’s also concerned about self-preservation.
That’s why Elizabeth wished there was a way to ensure Esme never got her memories back, but she felt like that was next to impossible.
The wheels seemed to be turning for Nikolas, who muttered “never say never” as Liz left.
Nikolas could easily decide to seek some help and take steps to ensure that Esme’s memories never return.
Since Andre Maddox (Anthony Montgomery) made a comeback appearance not too long ago and knows all about memory manipulation, could he be blackmailed or threatened into helping somehow?
That’s one option to consider if GH perhaps has more in store for Andre.
Then again, Nikolas could hire another expert to take charge of this project.
The Cassadines have plenty of money and connections, so that’s important to remember.
Nikolas might even turn to Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) for assistance since Victor was quite interested in all the memory-mapping and mind control associated with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).
Victor is a man of many resources and could certainly be useful in a case like this.
It’s just a matter of whether Nikolas can trust Victor – and the answer is obviously no!
Victor’s betrayal seems to be in the works, so it could backfire on Nikolas if he overshares or turns to him for help in any way.
Nikolas may not get a chance to fry Esme’s brain or force her to undergo a procedure to eliminate her memories forever, but that seems to be his goal right now.
Of course, there’s a chance that Esme’s memories could start coming back before Nik’s plan can take shape – that is if she’s truly got amnesia at all!
Nikolas’ scheme seems destined to fail any way you slice it, so he’ll have to make some updates to his strategy sooner or later
General Hospital spoilers say Nikolas’ problems are going to keep mounting despite his best efforts to contain the situation.
