While Trina Robinson's trial unfolded on "General Hospital," the nefarious Esme Prince seduced her boyfriend's father, Nikolas Cassadine, and slept with him. A livid Ava Jerome confronted Esme at the Cassadine mansion, Windermere, and the two fought. The altercation took them outside, and Esme accidentally fell off the castle's parapet. After searching for her to no avail, Nikolas and Ava presumed Esme was dead.

Esme eventually returned to Windermere, having survived the fall, much to Nikolas' shock. To add to the surprise, she announced that she was pregnant with Nikolas' baby. Per Soap Central, Esme tried blackmailing him into getting her a lawyer for the crimes she would end up facing. However, Nikolas had other ideas and locked her in a tower with the intent of keeping her there until she had the baby. At that point, he planned to send Esme off to his family's island in Greece, where she would live out the rest of her days. After being imprisoned for a while, Esme figured a way out. She lit a fire, and when Nikolas came to put it out, she escaped. He chased her, but Esme climbed back onto the parapet and let herself fall off, yet again (via Soaps Spoilers).

Meanwhile, a killer using a poison-laced hook has been terrorizing the city. For a time, fans theorized that Esme was the Hook, but as Soaps in Depth reported, Esme has now turned up at General Hospital with amnesia. 

Fans will have to tune in to see how the rest of Esme's story pans out.
