Next week on General Hospital, Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) and Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl) finally come face-to-face for the first time since she fell from the Wyndemere parapet during her heated encounter with Ava (Maura West). In a preview in Soap Opera Digest, Pohl shares, “Nikolas sees her when she goes back to where it all began, Wyndemere. Keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer, right? That is very much her mindset. And she did live there for a year and for the most part, after leaving high school, this was her home, so why not go back there?” And given that she’s essentially a fugitive, “It’s sort of a bonus that it’s on an island and it’s a giant mansion. You never quite know what you’re going to find in there!”

Esme tries to break into Nikolas’ safe and he stumbles upon her. She tells SOD, “There’s a complex reaction because at the end of the day, they’re both humans. There is still some form of connection between them and Esme doesn’t have a lot of positive connections with people anymore, especially in Port Charles. So, in a messed-up kind of way, it is comforting for her to see him, especially because she believes he is a person who will very likely help her.”

Nikolas accuses her of returning for revenge and tries to call the cops but she stops him and drops a bombshell on him. What could it be? Do you think Esme is pregnant with Nikolas’ child or could it be something else?
