So the order goes panel - loose neutral - problem plug and some appliance on a different plug. Where the appliance is essentially charging the neutral because current has difficulty flowing through the loose neutral?
And a faulty GFCI could be the loose neutral, the bridge, or both?
Why leave the power on when checking for a loose splice?

Hello Spuds - how old is your house -
Seriously, I had an issue with an outlet in a house in CT. I couldn't get one outlet to work. Come to find out that the outlet was the kind that the wire is just skinned off and then jammed into a clippie thing. After so many years, I reckon that small contact area didn't work no more.
My second embarrassing electrical "problem" was about a year ago when the one side of the outlet beside our bed quit working. After chasing electrons for a while, I discovered (after living here for 25 years) a wall switch that controlled half of that socket. ACTUALLY, our two old granddaughter discovered new uses for her stool and "discovered" and flipped the switch.
OK, so, I'm not the sharpest pair of wire strippers in the tool box -
