GENERAL HOSPITAL: Spencer Professes his Undying Love to Trina, as Esme Looms To Destroy Their Happiness
Oh boy! Brace yourselves Sprina fans. If you caught the Tuesday, January 30th episode of General Hospital, then you know that Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) and Trina (Tabyana Ali) exchanged such tender and heartfelt words to each other, and that can only mean one thing, something is about to tear them apart and from all accounts that is going to be Esme Prince (Avery Pohl).
In story, Spencer arranges a private cruise on the Seine as a surprise to Trina. He blindfolds her as he gets her on the boat, then reveals their little trip. Trina is overwhelmed and tells Spencer how grateful she is for all the things he has done for her and how amazing it feels to be loved by him. She adds that Spencer is such an incredible person.
Returning the sentiments, Spencer opens his heart and says, that before Trina all he could see in front of him was pain. It was her that opened his eyes to this possibility of a whole new world. Spencer adds that every day with Trina gets better and that he will love her for the rest of his life. Next, the two share a passionate kiss.

However, Esme who stowed away on the boat, is watching the two lovebirds. She mutters that that they can’t steal away from her that easy. Next, we see her open her backpack to reveal a syringe filled with ‘something’ and duct tape.
Meanwhile in Port Charles, everyone figures out that Esme in in Paris, which sends Laura (Genie Francis), Portia (Brook Kerr) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) to decide to meet Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) there immediately.
Realizing Sprina are in trouble, Laura tries to call Spencer, but the connection is bad, while Portia tries to call Trina, but Trina’s phone went to voice mail.

Back on the deck of the boat, the captain catches Esme. She grabs a fire extinguisher and knocks him over the head with it, knocking him out and then she drags him off. She says to herself, she had to do it to help find her son.
Trina and Spencer head to their room. While they kiss, Trina yawns from the long trip to Paris. Eventually, they hit the sheets. Later, Spencer tells Trina that he’s starving and is going to run and grab a snack while she rests.

Next, Spencer comes across a blood soaked deck and the extinguisher. Cut to – Trina putting her clothes on and when someone walks in the room, thinking its Spencer, she turns around only to find Esme.
So, what did you think of Spencer’s heartfelt words to Trina? In the soap world that can only mean … something will go down to keep them apart and on today”s Wednesday January 31st episode of GH, it marks the final airdate for Nick Chavez while he films “Monsters.” Will Trina finally take down Esme? Will Esme hurt Trina and then Spencer? Share your theories via the comment section below.
Sure, budgets are tight, but couldn’t Frank spend a little to make the ship look less like the Haunted Star with a French sign?
Couldn’t happen on the show, but IRL, if Laura had a son (an ex-cop) that lived in Europe, she would’ve called Lucky to check on his nephew before boarding a 7-hour flight to Paris. At least they wrote in that Ned lent her the ELQ plane.
Eagerly anticipating to see how they’ll write Spencer out. Assuming Chavez comes back for a short stint before his contract runs out.
Elsewhere, thank God for Tracy – the smartest character on the show. She wrapped up the dullest storyline line in two episodes. She & Gregory have chemistry and both of them make Finn more tolerable.
Ava & Sonny – it’s going there.
Brennan is the character we didn’t know that we needed. Mesure is darned good.
I really love the Actress playing Esme, all I’m hoping is that they’re not trying to make her too evil and then get rid of her. Avery Pohl is to talented and hope Esme can still be reformed. and just how long is Nicholas Chavez gonna be gone? the show knew he was gonna go do this show for Netflix obviously they let him, so why didn’t they film some extra scenes for them to stretch out so he would n’t be offscreen so long.?
Actors have guaranteed number of episodes in which they appear. Their salary is based on those episodes. GH may be pushing pause on Chavez’s contract to maximize his time once he returns from filming the miniseries.
Leave Trina in Paris forever. Keep Spencer and Esme.
Guess we should have known that any storyline on a ship ends with someone going over board.
And Esme has already shown she can survive a dive.. perhaps she will suffer a memory loss again..
And we also know that nobody ever dies from “drowning” on GH. Just ask Sonny. Or Jason. Or Esme, for that matter.
And while it’s true that Alex Devane & Psycho Nelle haven’t been seen lately, well… they ain’t down here in Hell, and there’s zero chance either would go the other direction, so you can bet your soul they will be back eventually. My unholy prediction? Spencer’s alleged drowning will be witnessed by his father Nikolas, who just by odd coincidence happened to be hiding out in Paris himself at the time. You probably won’t see him, but he and Spencer will return to Port Charles together, most likely in the summer.
Well, Julian Jerome was shot then fell
In the water. Going way back, Katherine Bell perished on her second fall from the parapet. Did she hit the rocks or the water?
Cassandra Pierce is probably out there, but was it an explosion or drowning?
We’re likely to see Nikolas a lot sooner than when Spencer returns. Huss has been hitting the publicity circuit, so I doubt he’s gone for long.
Esme’s kind of played out. Only interesting thing would be to incarcerate her with her mother.
Julian actually died from bullet wounds just before the bridge collapsed so he was already dead. I believe Katherine died from the fall itself, not drowning. And Cassandra got blown into little chunks of fish food, as far as I know.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
