General Hospital star Avery Pohl recently opened up about her character Esme and her relationship with some people who she is getting very close to in this fictional town of Port Charles. Here’s what you need to know.
General Hospital Spoilers: Esme Has Strong Feelings For Spencer
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Avery Pohl, who plays Esms on the hit ABC soap, says that she absolutely loves working with Nancy Lee Grahn, who plays Alexis Davis on the show. She says that they have the same kind of dynamic that Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep’s characters had on the hit film The Devil Wears Prada.
Avery explained, “You’ve got the assistant that doesn’t really wanna be there, that sort of has this giant mountain to climb that she feels ill-equipped to climb, and you’ve got this boss with very high expectations. I think we’ve found some really fun moments within the scenes because of that dynamic and that relationship. It’s been fun to explore creatively because it’s a very different scenario for Esme. She’s gaining confidence and a sense of independence, the sense of not feeling as reliant on everyone else, even though she still sort of is.”

Avery also said that it’s pretty clear to see that her character is developing some strong feelings for Spencer, even though he’s with Trina. When asked what her take was on that, Avery said, “I think that Esme is not fully aware of her feelings or her actions. I don’t think she’s got the same wherewithal of who she is as a person like she did before. So within that, she doesn’t know what she’s doing, I think, is the bottom line. Esme isn’t fully aware of how her actions are going to impact others, which may be similar to old Esme in a certain capacity, but I don’t think realizes her little mini crush on Spencer yet.”
