It’s not going to be easy for her.

Summary:

  • General Hospital is an ABC soap opera that celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2023.
  • Fans of the show have been rooting for a happy ending for Spencer and Trina, but due to Nicholas Chavez's temporary leave of absence, Spencer is facing a sudden death.
  • Tabyana Ali, who portrays Trina, believes she will not be moving on anytime soon.

Nothing hurts more than saying goodbye, even temporarily, to your favorite character. This week, General Hospital viewers are saying goodbye to Spencer Cassadine, portrayed by Nicholas Chavez. As the actor leaves to explore new career opportunities with Netflix, his character is presumed dead.

Spencer's death will likely affect a number of characters, most notably Tabyana Ali's Trina Robinson. Although the couple is somewhat controversial in the show's online fandom, they have been together long enough that Trina will have to spend some time mourning him and dealing with all the emotions that come with it.

However, fans are much more interested in what comes next for Trina. Will General Hospital finally use this storyline as an opportunity to explore and develop her more as a solo character? Will there be someone else on the horizon? Even Tabyana Ali doesn't have all the answers yet.

Is There Going To Be Another Love Interest For Trina?

While news of Nicholas Chavez's departure has been floating around the web for quite some time now, and viewers have been prepared to shed some tears when the show writes his exit into the storyline, his death was very sudden and unexpected for General Hospital's characters.

Trina Robinson, not only as his girlfriend and probably the closest person to him, but also as the one who saw him lose his life, was always going to be affected the most. Now that it has happened, what will Trina's life be like? The actress behind the character, Tabyana Ali, shares her perspective with Soap Opera Digest:

“I don’t know if moving forward is going to be on her mind. I don’t think moving forward is going to be a thing she wants to do right now! Like you said, there’s no real closure to any of it. <...> This so sudden and he basically sacrificed himself for her. So there is going to be some guilt there and some resistance to wanting to live herself,” she said.

To cheer up all the Sprina fans, Ali added that she's confident in Trina's ability to overcome any challenge life throws at her. By being tough and determined, she may be able to ease the pain of her grief and come out the other side a better person than she was before.

Though Trina's future is still very uncertain, for now all she needs is time and a good support system around her to deal with the loss and guilt that comes with it. To see how she's holding up, tune in to the new episodes of General Hospital Monday through Friday on ABC.
