General Hospital spoilers suggest that it may take quite a lot for Eddie Maine (Wally Kurth) to remember that he is really Ned Quartermaine. What tactic will work the best to help him remember?
Professional Help
Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), Ned’s mother, is fed up with him not being able to recall who he is. He plays music and frequents bars all through the night. He has a brain damage as a result of tripping and falling in the Metro Court pool and hitting his head; as a result, he believes he is Eddie Maine.
Ned used the stage name Eddie Maine when he performed. However, Ned Quartermaine is no longer relevant to him. Nothing about being Ned, not even his family, is recalled. Nobody is enquiring about his early memories or attempting to assist him in reconstructing the past. They merely need him to be aware of who he is.
Tracy wants to commit Ned to an institution. Maybe there they could help him remember. Perhaps some shock therapy or a trained psychiatrist could start sorting through his mental mess. She is the only one who wants to go down this road. Is this the best option for bringing Ned back?
Family Methods
Olivia Falconeri Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero) won’t commit Ned to a mental hospital. She wants him at home but she also desperately needs him to remember who he is. She does cook some of his favorites and while he doesn’t remember they were his favorites; he is finding he really likes them.
Since Ned doesn’t remember her, he has been asking her about her life. He is learning about her, as if for the first time. Maybe something she says will jog a memory for him too.
Ned’s son Leo Quartermaine (Easton Rocket Sweda) equally fervently desires the return of his father. Since Eddie Maine is Ned, he is unable to comprehend where his father has vanished. He resembles Ned exactly, yet he lacks Ned’s personality. Leo finds it difficult to understand this. Leo and Eddie are interacting, though, and Eddie might learn something from that.
Like her father, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) is a skilled musician. Spoilers state that they might play some music together, and that connection and the music might help Ned rediscover himself.
