The General Hospital character, Trina has been through the wringer, and it’s not getting any easier for her. After losing Spencer, moving on has been the next-to-impossible task. In the upcoming episode, the character is set to face another heartbreaking reminder of Spencer’s absence. Tabyana Ali, who portrays Trina, spilled the tea about what’s on the horizon for her character. Check it out below!
Ali Hints at Trina’s Struggle with Spencer’s Memory
Trina’s grief is about to hit the spotlight again on General Hospital when she encounters a souvenir from her past with Spencer. Trina and her bestie Josslyn recently moved in together, and during the unpacking, something fell out. As Trina looks at it, it would just break Trina’s heart all over again! It’s the turtle dove figurine Spencer gave her, a touching symbol of their love and loss.
Moreover, Ali explained how this moment breaks Trina down. She expresses, “It’s tough for her to rebuild when everything feels like Spencer is still around.” The woman is constantly reminded of him, making it hard to live through every day without feeling guilty about his passing. Why? The character thinks that Spencer sacrificed his life for her.
Hence, it is a big burden that weighs heavily on Trina’s shoulders. Additionally, Trina’s bestie, Josslyn, tries to comfort her, reflecting on her own experiences with loss. However, her words backfire, and Trina gets annoyed. Ali shared, “She snaps at Joss, saying she wishes she’d lie and tell her everything will be okay, even if it’s untrue.”
It’s a hard pill to swallow, but time doesn’t heal the wound; it just helps carry the grief better. In soap operas, characters often quickly move on to new relationships. But the GH diva is glad that the soap gives Trina space to grieve properly. “‘Sprina’ fans were deeply invested,” she said. “They were soulmates, and you can’t rush through something like that.”
Furthermore, Tabyana reflected on how coping with such a loss would take years in real life. It’s definitely far longer than the TV world often portrays. Yet, out of this tragedy, some good has come. What is it? Trina has found solace and formed a stronger bond with others who loved Spencer. For instance, Spencer’s grandmother Laura and her shared grief led to forging a beautiful connection.
So, tune in to the ABC soap to see how Trina navigates this latest emotional hurdle. Until then, keep checking out Soap Opera Daily for more updates on General Hospital celebs. Get ready to witness the tearjerker moment that will shatter Trina!
