## Background

Esme Prince was introduced as Spencer Cassadine's girlfriend from boarding school in France. Not much is known about her, but it's clear that Esme has an agenda.

Esme revealed that she was adopted and had adoptive siblings, but she claimed that she didn't have a good relationship with her family. After the death of her adoptive parents, she was raised by her nanny Maggie Fitzgerald, whom she was close to.

On August 27, 2021; it was shown that Esme has a connection to Ryan Chamberlain, the identical twin brother of Dr. Kevin Collins. On March 9, 2022; it was revealed that Ryan is Esme's father making her Lulu Spencer's brunette stepcousin.

On October 11, 2022; it was revealed that she is expecting her first child, from her one-night stand with her then-boyfriend Spencer Cassadine's father Nikolas Cassadine. She was held at Spoon Island secretly as a hostage by Nikolas until she gave birth, with Elizabeth Baldwin in on the plan, and taking care of her prenatal needs as her private nurse. Nikolas planned to send Esme to Cassadine Island after she gave birth. On New Years Eve 2022, Esme set fire to the storage room to escape Nikolas, then intentionally fell off the parapet into the ocean. Esme and her unborn baby were found by Spencer and Trina Robinson on The Haunted Star and she was taken to the hospital, where she was found to have hypothermia. Upon waking up, she claims she does not remember who she was nor her pregnancy. Her uncle Kevin later confirmed the diagnosis of memory loss, after Elizabeth sent him to check on Esme.

On December 9, it was revealed that Ryan and Heather Webber used to be involved making Heather Esme's mother. Esme found Ryan using one of his keepsakes that came with her as a newborn, that Heather had stolen from Ryan. On January 17, 2023; Heather was reunited with Esme after she was remanded to Spring Ridge before her trial. On January 31, 2023; Esme was visited by Nikolas and Elizabeth's mother Dr. Carolyn Webber, who confirmed her diagnosis of having dissociative amnesia due to a traumatic event, with Carolyn unaware that Nikolas wanted her to erase Esme's memories. When Carolyn saw that Esme was pregnant, she refused and left. Nikolas later told Esme that he was the father of her child. Nikolas tried to get Esme to sign the custody papers over to him, but Heather stops her after when she learns what Nikolas was trying to do. Later, Heather and Ryan have a discussion about Nikolas trying to steal their grandchild, Sam and Dante trying to find Maggie, and they break out of Spring Ridge with Esme.

After the final showdown at Wyndermere, Esme learns that Ryan and Heather were her biological parents before the Ryan's death and Heather's arrest for being The Hook killer because Jason Morgan would've likely shot and killed The Hook if he were still alive. Esme gives birth to a boy at Wyndermere Castle, with the help of paramedics, his paternal grandmother Mayor Laura Collins and maternal great uncle Dr. Kevin Collins while Nikolas is missing, presumed out of town prior to the baby birth.

On August 16, 2021 after Lulu Spencer was taken to long-term care facility in Manhattan after falling into a coma leaving her hospitalized; Ava Jerome goes to visit Kevin Collins at the hospital. A nurse walks by while Ava is heading to Kevin's office. The nurse stands outside his office and eavesdrops after Laura Collins walks inside. Ava discusses the theory that Spencer Cassadine is her stalker. She tells Kevin and Laura that Nikolas Cassadine is pretending to be in Dubai but he is planning to teach Spencer a lesson. Later Ava is watched as she calls for a launch to Spoon Island.

The nurse watches as Ava and Portia Robinson talk. She smiles and follows Ava outside. Ava discovers her car on fire. A firefighter says that a gas can was found under the chassis and Kiki Jerome's hospital badge was nearby. Ava faints when she sees the badge. She later tells Portia that Kiki was buried with her badge. The nurse walks by and smiles while her male counterpart/partner-in-crime overseas is in Crete.

On August 19, the nurse arrives at Wyndemere Castle, where she kisses Spencer Cassadine and introduces herself to Trina Robinson as Esme Prince, Spencer's girlfriend. After Trina leaves, Esme admits to Spencer that she's been following Ava including pretending to be a nurse and torching her car. She did it all to throw suspicion off Spencer as the true stalker. This upsets him, and he claims she went too far.

On September 2, Esme appeared in Spencer's nightmare after Spencer's talk with his great-great uncle Victor.

On October 4, Esme was revealed to be alive and back in Port Charles. She remained hidden and wore a big jacket due to being a wanted fugitive. After overhearing Josslyn and Trina talking outside of Kelly's, Esme later snuck into Spring Ridge and visited Ryan, which made him happy over three weeks after her bodyguard/male counterpart Johann Bauer returned.

On December 9, it is revealed that her biological mother is Heather Webber and revealed that Esme has two maternal half-brothers, Steve Webber and the late Franco Baldwin.

On January 5, she was represented by attorney and Nikolas' uncle Martin Grey.

On January 6; Esme was attacked and muffled by Liesl Obrecht with a cloth in her mouth, injected her with a sedative which knocked her out, and almost smothered her with a pillow, because Liesl believes Esme was responsible for her daughter Britt Westbourne's death. Liesl was stopped by her niece Nina Reeves, which Liesl also plans to take the baby out. Nina drags Liesl out of Esme's room. Later, Esme was unsettled, when she woke up soon after and told Elizabeth that a Doctor trying to kill her, but Liz acted like it must’ve been a bad dream.

On January 17, with her amnesia diagnosis, Esme was remanded to Spring Ridge, now living there unknowingly with both of her parents.

On January 18, Esme meets with Heather who speaks to her about her current situation which includes her memory loss, her pregnancy, and warning her to staying away from Ryan, which Esme later freak out and she left the common room, not before leaving behind her friendship bracelet.

On January 23, Heather saves Esme after she was threatened by another inmate named Ramona George in the common room by putting a shank up to her side. Esme feels her baby kick and Heather asks if she can feel it.

Esme suggests maybe when they know each other better. Heather knows Esme's scared about being a mother, but she'll be a natural. Esme still doesn't know how given she's going to prison. Heather assures her that very soon the cops will know she couldn't be the hook killer. Later, Dante and Sam McCall visited Esme to speak to her about her old nanny Maggie. Sam explains she's been looking into her background and believes she isn't the hook. Esme thanks her but doesn't remember anything about her past.

Sam believes there is someone who does and fills her in on her old nanny Maggie, and that her biological father might be in New York state. Sam offers to try and find him for her. Esme admits she has no money to pay, but Sam is willing to do this free of charge as it will help many of her friends. Esme answers, "Let's do it." Dante and Heather find Esme and Sam talking together. Esme reveals that Sam believes her father is in the state and is going to try and track him down, leaving Heather stunned.

On February 15, after Esme learns that Ryan and Heather were her biological parents, before the death of Ryan and Heather's arrest for being the hook Killer. Esme gave birth to a boy in Wyndermere Castle, with the help of his paternal grandmother Mayor Laura Collins and maternal great uncle Dr. Kevin Collins, and paramedics, while Nikolas is presumed dead prior to the baby birth. Later, in the Hospital, Ava reveals to Spencer how Ryan used Esme to get to him by sending her boarding school in order to seduce him, in order to break up his relationship with Nikolas and Ava, so that Ryan can have Ava all by himself.

On February 22, after Heather is brought into Esme’s room by the police, and asks, “Aren’t you going say hello to your mother?” She inquires how the baby is, and what she had. Esme says the baby is fine and it’s a boy. Heather says just like her firstborn, Steven Lars. Heather can’t wait to meet her grandson, but Esme says she’ll never meet him where she’s going. Heather explains that Esme will be taken back to Spring Ridge and she gets to keep her baby for up to 18 months according to the law. Heather says she’ll work the system and get back to Spring Ridge in no time flat, and they’ll all be together as a family. Esme seethes, “Never!” She vows this is the last time Heather will ever see her, and she’ll never get near her baby. Esme yells for the guards to take Heather away. Heather cries all she wanted was to be a mother to her. Esme informs her, “My father is dead, and as far as I’m concerned, my mother is too.”

As Heather is dragged out of Esme’s room and sees Laura and Spencer in the hall. As Heather lashes out at Laura and blames her for filling Esme’s head with lies about her, Spencer sneaks in to see Esme. Esme asks him how Ace, her baby boy, is. He says he is fine, and he and his grandmother will take good care of him while she’s in prison. Esme is confused and thought she would get to keep him. Spencer scoffs, “In prison?” He assures her everything is already settled and her baby is in good hands.

On March 6; Esme filed for sole custody of her newborn son, so she would be allowed to keep him for his first 18 months while she is at Spring Ridge Prison awaiting her trial after Spencer's great-great uncle Victor Cassadine met him for the first time. Liz goes to see Esme, who asks to see her baby. Liz says she’ll bring her the baby, but first, they need to talk. Liz believes Esme needs to know how she ended up in the hospital. Liz confesses how Nikolas locked her up at Wyndemere, and she found out and helped him by keeping her and the baby safe. Esme asks how she escaped. Liz says she jumped from a turret, which stuns Esme. Liz doesn’t blame Esme for being upset with her, but she doesn’t owe her an apology. Liz explains she thought she was protecting her and the baby at the time, and that she could be a danger. She reveals she’s already given a statement to the police. Esme wonders if that is why Nikolas fled. Liz says it’s possible. Esme asks Liz if she wanted her baby or if she was she trying to get rid of it and that’s why Nikolas locked her up. Liz honestly doesn’t know, but there was a time when she only thought Esme was capable of loving no one but herself. Esme feels her jumping put her baby in danger, so she imagines she must have been desperate. Liz tells her she’s emerged as a new person with a blank slate, so take advantage of that. Spencer enters and says, “I couldn’t agree more.” Later, after Liz leaves them but first advises them to try and put the baby first. Spencer asks Esme to think about this baby and if it belongs in prison. She says it’s her baby, not his, and not his father’s now that she knows he locked her up. Spencer says he honestly didn’t know about that, but it explains why she was gone for so long. Spencer says if she loves her son then she’d want him with a family who loves him. Esme calls him he's no better than his father and says she won’t let him anywhere near her son.

On March 30 at the hospital after the death of Epiphany Johnson and Epiphany's memorial service since Esme did not attend and Esme never met Epiphany at all since their names start with the letter E; Spencer, Esme and Ace arrive. Ace is sick, and Esme tells a nurse that her son needs treatment right now. The nurse gives them some forms to fill out and says someone will be with them as soon as they can. Spencer advises Esme that berating the nurse won't get Ace treated any sooner. She tells him if she's not on her side then leave, but he refuses to leave his brother alone with her. They sit down and fill out the forms. Spencer says grandmother doesn't feel it's that bad. Esme knows her baby is sick. Spencer says she can't hide behind this angelic mother routine and Ace forever, she may have lost her memory, but she's still the same person. Esme, Ace and Spencer are shown to a room and told the doctor would be in shortly. Esme tells Spencer she knows they have reasons not to trust one another, but she wishes that could be in the past and they could get along for Ace's sake. Spencer says knowing what she has done to him, and his friends, is hard to forget. Esme says it's not good for Ace to see them fighting all the time.

On May 11, Laura calls Esme to come down to the hospital and then she joins Spencer and Ace in the exam room after the death of Victor Cassadine via drone strike to The Haunted Star by the WSB. Later, Esme rushes into the room and Spencer hands Ace over to her as she cries. Spencer says they all made sure Ace was safe and warm, including Trina. Austin enters to examine Ace and says Laura and Spencer need to step out. Later, Austin, Esme and Ace exit the room, and Austin tells Laura and Spencer that baby Ace is fine. Laura says they should all get back home. Esme, Spencer, Laura and Ace step off the elevator and see the others. Spencer tells Trina that Ace got a clean bill of health, so they are taking him home. Trina says she’s glad his brother is okay. She watches as he leaves with Esme, Laura and Ace.

On May 17; Alexis stops by Laura’s place, per invite, and brought a gift for Ace. Laura asks Alexis to sit and tells her how she and Kevin have done everything they can to make Esme feel at home, but... Suddenly Esme appears with Ace and a bag. Laura tells her that Ace’s Aunt Alexis stopped by to see him and brought a gift. Esme says this is a bad time and she’s leaving. Laura asks where she’s going. Esme replies, “Anywhere but here.” Laura asks where she’ll go, and how she’ll pay for it. Esme points out she has a trust fund, but Laura reminds her she doesn’t have access to it because of what she was accused of, and the trustees have locked it. Laura asks her to think about Ace. Esme says Ace is her life, but living here is suffocating, especially when Spencer is constantly making her second guess every decision she makes. Esme wonders when she gets to live her life on her own terms. Esme puts Ace down and returns. Alexis has a way to help Esme stand on her own two feet and offers her a job as a receptionist at The Invader to replace her hospitalized stepcousin Lulu Spencer. Esme comments, “A job answering the phone?” Alexis asks if she has a degree or any job experience at all. Esme admits she doesn’t, so Alexis says this is a chance to stand on her own. Esme assumes Laura put Alexis up to this. Laura says it’s an opportunity. Ace cries, so Esme heads to his room. Laura hopes Esme takes this opportunity so she can put down roots here with Ace. Alexis asks why she looks so worried. Laura says she’s worried about Alexis. Laura notes Esme may not remember what she’s done, but she could revert to her old behavior. Alexis is aware of that, which is why she was worried about her living with them.

Esme returns and tells Alexis that she’ll take the job. Alexis says she’ll have HR contact her, and the job also provides daycare for Ace. Esme thanks her as it means she doesn’t have to leave him with Kevin and Laura all day.

It is revealed that she is unharmed along with Ava as they both deny any involvement in Curtis' shooting and have an alibi. Esme also has friends in high places including in Pine Valley after Lucy and Felicia are caught, making Esme invincible as she's free to go anywhere she wants with the help of officer Ray of the Pine Valley Police Department. Then the charges were dropped and Lucy and Esme switched places the next day.

On July 19, Alexis catches Esme sneaking through her files - who points out they are about her after the shooting of Curtis Ashford by a mysterious intelligence operative concealing his face and identity leaving Ava Jerome unharmed and still able to walk since. Alexis shares that she was approached about writing an article about Heather and Ryan and their reign of terror and was doing research. They argue about families, identities, and shady pasts, with Alexis reminding Esme that she hasn't don't anything to clean her slate - that she has a past even if she doesn't remember it. Esme secretly steals an article, this one specifically stating that Heather has been moved from D'Archam Asylum to Pentonville Penitentiary.

On July 20; Esme visits Pentonville waiting to see her biological mother, but she meets Cyrus Renault who bores an uncanny resemblance to the late Cesar Faison revealing that Cyrus had an alibi for The Hook attacks before Cyrus changed his appearance by giving himself a shave and a haircut to look less like Faison and more like Johnny Zacchara 25-30 years later and bore an uncanny resemblance to the late Victor Cassadine.
