GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina to Spencer, “Snap Out Out Of It! This Fantasy That You and Esme Have of Playing House is a Dream Come True For Her”
Is Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) that unaware of Esme’s (Avery Pohl) manipulation on General Hospital? Apparently so, after some answers he gave to his girlfriend, Trina (Tabyana Ali), who confronted her beau about his involvement with Esme, and helping raise his little brother, Ace.
On Thursday’s episode of General Hospital, Spencer visits Trina at the art gallery, and informs her that Nikolas is indeed alive … somewhere. Trina wants to know why Spencer doesn’t seem that rattled by the news and that his father is intentionally staying away from Port Charles. Spencer says he would prefer that Nikolas stay away and not return while things are going well with Esme and Ace.
Spencer adds that Ace is better off without the cold and calculated Nikolas in his life. Then, Trina confronts Spencer about Esme. She concerned that the old Esme will resurface. However, Spencer shuts Trina down, saying Esme is being a good mother. Spencer explains that while he will never forgive her for her past transgressions (OY!) and what she did to Trina and everyone he cared about, he believes Esme is being sincere.

Just then, Trina puts a halt to his stance on Esme. She believes that Esme is clearly still in love with him and wants to build a family with him. Trina also reminds Spencer that he is not Ace’s father and that no matter how bad he thinks Nikolas is, he should be the man raising Ace.
When discussion turns towards their future, Spencer says Trina makes him as happy as Ace does. At that point, Trina lays into him! She believes he wants to be more than Ace’s father. Ultimately, she adds Esme has final say when it comes to Ace and Spencer won’t be able to do anything about it.

Trying to get him to open his eyes on the situation, Trina shouts, “Spencer! Snap out of it! This fantasy that you and Esme have of playing house is a dream come true for her!”

Now weigh-in: Are you getting fed up with Spencer not realizing what Esme is trying to pull? Do you think he knows and is completely and 100 percent playing her? What should Trina do, if Spencer won’t walk away from Esme and playing house with her and baby Ace? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

I would like to see Esma win Spencer over.
That would be interesting, Brian. He’s enmeshed himself way too much into Esme and Ace’s lives. And, this is not going to end well for him and Trina.
Contrary to popular belief, I believe, down deep, he still has feelings for Esme, in spite of everything.It’s possible to love two people at the same time, but you can only be true to one
(and it’s not Trina).Trina needs to jettison him, FAST!. He’s shown that he lacks character where she’s concerned. He’s manipulative and pushes back way too much — like when Trina first said no to going to NYC, when she really needed/wanted to study. She allowed herself to be talked into doing something against her better judgement. Her character never used to be that way. She used to be a little bit of a ‘bad ass’ and stood up for herself. I miss the old Trina.
I’ve known guys just like Spencer. Trina will never really get what she wants and needs from him. He wants his cake, and eat it too. I used to love Spencer, but his character has evolved into a real disappointing loser. (Writers???)
You go girl!!
I think both characters had good points. However, this situation would be very difficult to handle for me if I was Trina. At the same time, I understand Spencer wanting to raise his little brother and give him a better life than he had. Maybe that’s good storytelling ~ when you can see both sides.
I’ve actually lost interest in this story and Trina seems to be losing audience rapport, though the actress tries hard. Spencer is so hot, I’m convinced he needs someone a bit older than either of his current choices. Sasha? Just speculating…
Spencer and original Trina had chemistry.
After everything that finally led up to their weekend and how much it meant to both of them and he can’t see where Trina’s coming from or apparently almost seems he’s not going to meet her in the middle or what I’m afraid of he doesn’t care what Trina thinks.. he wants his cake and eat it too… regardless of how Trina feels which is really upsetting… she’s saying that they committed themselves to each other and now she feels she has the right to not only talk to him about it but have a say in the whole situation and it’s going to take something major, not what I’m thinking I hope but for him to see the light… Kevin is trying to help but he doesn’t care and Esme is doing all of this on purpose anyhow. It sickens me how they’re portraying Spencer.
Spencer is a spoiled, entitled brat. As a kid he was a sweet, precocious little boy, but grown up he’s more like his dad. Wait until Portia and Curtis’s little princess turns up pregnant, it will be all Spencer’s fault, and they’ll act like she had nothing to do with it. Trina wants Spencer all to herself and apparently doesn’t care about Ace’s future as long as it doesn’t include Spencer and also if Esme is so bad, shouldn’t she care a little about this little boy being raised by such a terrible person?

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.
