General Hospital Spoilers: Ace’s Paternity Mystery Reignites – Is Nikolas Really the Father of Esme’s Son?
General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) recently popped up looking as adorable as ever during his visit with Heather Webber (Alley Mills). Grandma Heather had a chance to bid Ace farewell in the October 28 episode, but she whispered that she’d be back and seemingly sealed the deal on a return stint.
It was both cute and hilarious to watch Ace interact with Heather since he clearly has no idea who this woman is. Heather did her best to bond with the little fella, but Ace seemed weirded out to say the least!
However, the latest Ace sighting served as more than just a way to amuse fans and invite predictions about Heather’s inevitable comeback. On social media, Ace’s most recent appearance has also reignited a debate about his paternity.
Of course, we should acknowledge the obvious and point out that the show cast the twins who play Ace when they were just babies. The show couldn’t have known what Jay and Joey Clay would look like as they grew older.
Even so, it’s a little jarring to see Ace now since he looks absolutely nothing like Nikolas! The older Ace gets, the less believable it becomes that he’s Nikolas’ biological son.
Genetics can be a funny thing, but we should still remember that there’s no hard evidence that Ace is a Cassadine. Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) simply claimed Nikolas was the father and everyone took it as fact.
It was always strange that GH writers never included a DNA test to confirm Ace’s paternity. Esme probably would’ve just found a way to rig the results anyway, but Nikolas and even Laura Collins (Genie Francis) should’ve at least made an effort to get confirmation.
It’s certainly possible that Ace’s real father will turn out to be someone else down the road. Ace is being raised by Laura and Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom), but could his bio dad show up to claim him someday?
If Esme is still alive and out there somewhere, she might even return to reveal that paternity shocker at some point. Whatever the case, Ace’s true paternity remains a mystery without firm DNA proof.
General Hospital spoilers say Ace will continue his happy childhood with Laura and Kevin for now, but stay tuned for updates on any DNA news that might shake things up in the future!
