They are drawing comparisons to a young Luke (Tony Geary) and Laura (Genie Francis), soap opera’s most-famed couple.  Now in 2023, the duo known to General Hospital fans as Sprina are daytime’s newest ‘Power Couple’ and now have been deemed so by PEOPLE, who has a feature on the young actors who play the romantic pair.

Speaking with Nicholas Chavez (Spencer) and Tabyana Ali (Trina), the young stars dished on what makes their on-screen dynamic so palpable and popular to viewers at home.  But of course, like any soap opera couple, there are constant obstacles that pull them apart, so that when they do reunite, it’s a magical moment for the fans and the storyline.  Look no further than in recent episodes when fearing Spencer died in Greenland, and seeing him alive, Trina leaps into his arms and the two share a kiss.  Now for all of Sprina history, we are certain that moment will play on any sizzle reel for the duo.

So, why does the on-screen relationship click? Tabyana shared, “I think they’re actually twin flames. And there’s a period of time before twin flames can be together.  They have to go through this up-and-down tumultuous ride to have the calm waters. They must have the thunderstorm before they get to the sunset.”

As to similarities to the mighty Luke and Laura, Nick Chavez expressed, “They are drawing a pretty direct comparison and they’re not being super subtle about it. But we love it, and we think that it’s super smart. It’s the greatest compliment we could ever get.”

Nick also weighed-in on the actress change when original Trina, Sydney Mikayla decided to leave the series and Tabyana was the recast. The Daytime Emmy-winning star and a nominee again this year, said, “What amazes me is that we went two for two in creating something beautiful and connecting with people. It’s getting everyone excited and it’s a testament to how good [General Hospital executive producer] Frank Valentini and (casting director) Mark Teschner are at their jobs.”

As for their off-the-chart scenes together, Ali shared: “I think now our chemistry is so much stronger because of the connection we have outside of work. Our dynamic is really special because we understand each other on a very deep level.”

So, what makes GH’s Sprina so magical to you? Let us know in the comment section below.

It’s that palpable chemistry and the ease at how comfortable they are with each other in their scenes! The story is there even though I’m not a fan of these obstacles. I know they happen but as long as Sprina is always at the center and together that’s what will sustain them as this shows only current Super Couple!

There is no magic—there is a zero connection between them. Prehaps, it’s the fact that compared to Avery, nuTrina is not as effective as Sydney was—I wish she’d make a comeback. The girl had oomph and style.
Spencer is too hot for this homely girl. I actually mute her. Now, we find that she and Joss plan to sabotage Esme. WOW–Joss is her mother’s daughter—she and Trina lower themselves to Esme’s pre-amnesia level?
I hope Esme never regains her past memories. What would a very true to form, soapy soap be without twists and turns? A Spencer-Esme falling in love storyline would be a pleasant shocker for moi.,Hot couple. Far cry from wishy-washy nuTrina.

***** < 5 stars !!
((how are you doing?)

Hey, SusieQ–long time…I’m well and I see you are, too–as usual, we both tell it like it is–
-I don’t get it, Su. Spencer does look much older. —and she looks too adolescent for him. He is a grown man!!
I also don’t get all the accolades on her beauty. Where? Cheshire cat-smile with huge teeth. —you are so right—these two are being pushed together to promote them as a couple. —big mistake.
The same goes for Joss and Dex. Please keep his shirt on. He’s better fit for nuTrina. So puny. Joss is stunningly beautiful—I hope Cameron comes back.
Good to hear from you, my friend.

Celia, I don’t see you a lot..
Good to see your spicy self postings..
The way I see it; the writers are attempting to create
another Carly and Jason, using Dex and Joss..
The writers are struggling for good stories, for sure.
And- Trina needs to be recast….
(perhaps get Spencer a pet/dog to love him- that would at the least be watchable LOL..

Someone on Twitter refers to Dex as Tiny Jason. They had Joss singing,” Hold me closer Tiny Jason” to the tune of Elton John’s “ Tiny Dancer.” Now I have song in my head whenever I see Joss and Dex.

HaHaHaHaHa—A perfect description of Dex—He is kind of puny with a head too big for his shoulders. The same could apply to Elton John. Have you ever noticed ( especially when playing those keys) how tiny his arms are compared to the rest of him? I am so mean, Harry. Not nice of me. Right?
Then again, I always compare every guy to my husband, which is something else I should not do. LOL. No one person is perfect.—well, except him.

Well, I think she’s beautiful. But you know what they say,” Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

Oh Celia, our poor Spencer. He seems to be maturing by the minute (and getting even better looking), while Trina actually seems to be shrinking, even as a character. What to do? I hate the Eddie (horse’s?) Mane story, Anna and Valentin bore me and ALL OF Sonny & Carly’s many tales are strictly fast-forward. Even Tracy’s venom seems misplaced (picking on the divine Chase? Really?) I guess it’s summer doldrums, not helped by those silly pool scenes. Oy vey. Well, Happy 4th to you, my friend!

#Sprina

Agreed, amica mia—-Spencer can’t even demonstrate his sexual prowess with this nonentity. I am stunned!! He needs a , “do what you want with me”, kind if hottie.
Valentin and Anna? Oy vey!! Accipicchia!! Sacrebleu!! I’m waiting for a Valentin/Nina reunion.
Not that I find very intriguing, but what is Tracy up to? Flimsy plot, at best. Nonetheless, call me weird but i love her. I get such a kick out of her–And, she looks great–even with gray hair. It suits her and dies not diminish her goid looks. This character, at least, has personality. Isn’t there a song about personality? I know I heard it somewhere. LOL
Esme is not anyone’s favorite, I know—but, Soaphound, I’ve always like Avery’s acting skills and savoir faire, and flair.
I truly hope she keeps this new persona–She and Spencer are it—I feel the the sexual vibe just under the surface–When they do get “together” . Look out!! An explosion!!
Pardon the typos–

Celia, SuOOO and Soaphound,
Hope you don’t mind my acknowledging your great comments together. I can’t stand that small person with Spencer. She ruins every scene they have together. Actually the other day with Esme, the baby and Spencer looked so right together, but I guess only a miracle will clear Esme of her wrongdoings, which I can’t even remember anymore what she’s done.

Hey, Violet—Esme did a lot of bad stuff, but her acting skills make up for all her misdeeds LOL.
Yes—I got the same vibe, albeit it’s kind of weird, conduct Nik is Ace’s father.
I lauded Esme constantly—I actually thought she was a goner after she threw herself off the turret. I guess ye gods must like her—We shall see what unfolds.

Silly pool scenes? You mean
Like Toddler Ned falling into the pool? Clearly, he wasn’t paying attention to the “ No Running by Pool” sign. Toddler Ned probably runs with scissors too. And the other day Merry Martin fell into the pool. Do you think they’re trying to get as much bang for their buck for the expense of building that pool set?

#Sprina we support them period and bo one wants esme gag with Spencer at all yukkk

Che Che,
Speak for yourself kiddo!

Spencer and Trina are the best couple this show has had in years and years. They’ve written them as a true Supercouple overcoming many obstacles to find their way to one another. I love the chemistry and clear trust that Tabyana and Nicholas have as acting partners. I mean, how else would that amazing leap and kiss happen unscripted?! So fun to watch! Reminded me of old school soap moments. They are giving everything a good soap couple needs to give! Congrats to the actors and GH on getting recognition from PEOPLE magazine!

What kiss?? There was no passion. Just lios touching–too many teeth, I guess. She does not know how to kiss back. Cringe-worthy. My opinion is as worthy as yours.

Celia, cringe worthy is an understatement, yuk!!!

It’s not PEOPLE magazine which makes the impact. It’s the viewer—and, most here, do not think she’s a good match for Spencer and his, “kiss me quick, take me now” sensual aura— No spunk. No heat. No nothing.

Any positive PR is good for GH and the soap genre in general. I’m glad People magazine featured this couple on their cover. I don’t see this couple lasting too long because Nicholas Chavez is quite a find and is bound for bigger things.

Yes, Harry–I thought the same thing. Chavez is destined fir bigger and more challenging ventures—The money “ain’t” bad either.
Nonetheless, I still think this girl is not a ‘find’–no connection with anyone. Not even Joss—their friendship seems articial and surreal. —a completely different energy and tenor which Eden and Sydney had.
Aside—does this autocorrect “thing”, completely changing my words, only happen to me?
I hate going back rereading my comments. I see words I don’t even recognize. . LOL

Celia…It’s AI. Scary, it’s already taking over. Humans beware. It’s been happening to me for a long time.

I just noticed this—Double LOL—-You can join Soaphound and Violet taking turns cracking me up. Too funny!!
Actually, Rose—I was thinking of getting a robotic therapy pet—it’ll help with my autocorrect-problem.

Hours after we posted these comments, it was announced that Nicholas Chavez was cast in a hit Netflix series. Onward and upward!

This is an old post Harry and I’m sure you know by now he’s starring in yet another Menendez brothers story; it’ll be a limited series I believe. There are now rumors going around that he won’t be returning to GH and “clues” that he was taken off contract and he stopped following some GH actors. I kinda think it’s all publicity so that all his fans can wring their hands and lament that he won’t be back. I’m thinking he will. Nothing like a steady paycheck and accolades until/if your star really shines and he has huge offers coming his way. Time will tell. To be honest? I think he has a long way to go acting-wise. He worked on his body (compare his rather thin self to the muscular body he built; he looks amazing) and his acting HAS improved (I wasn’t impressed at all at the beginning. His over-the-top rages and screaming in every screen drove me nuts, especially when in scenes with the very subdued Marcus Coloma, who was able to convert hurt and anger without seeming unhinged; there was a subtlety to Marcus’s performance that Ioved. But I digress… 😉

convey not convert

Celia,
Auto Correct does the same to me drives me crazy!

I am so glad you’re not the casting director. Such negative comments.

Of all the commenters, you pick me. Thank you. You must truly appreciate me—-I am soooooo glad you are glad, oh Holy one—check that halo, ya hear? Make sure there are no dents. We wouldn’t want to spoil your pristine self.

There is no magic–
There is no chem, especially sexual chem-
They are a horrible couple..
Spenser looks like her big brother..or worse
Spenser looks like an adult man with a child, a pedo..
If ever there is a hot sexy scene or sex,
Spencer should be arrested for molesting a child..lol
She is over 18 but–she looks like a 14 yr old teenager..
The worst casting, the worst..
Spenser needed an equal to him in all points and appearance..
It’s beyond reason, and me why they are being overly promoted in hopes
of hiding their horrible casting mistake.
aaahh felt good to put it out there….
To all their fans enjoy….to others FF .. 🙂 🙂
To each their own..different strokes for different folks, it’s all ok.

I fast forward through every scene with them. Enough said. Comparing to Luke & Laura? In what universe? I am over Trina. GH has become the Trina hour. I don’t get it.

You mean the Joss hour and sex scenes with Dex real love there ha

I think what you’re picking up on is Nicholas started weightlifting and he’s bulking up. So, the height and weight disparities between the two are amplified.

I’m rather apathetic about this couple. I don’t hate them, don’t love them. I think they’re kind of cute but wish Spencer wasn’t always babysitting his baby brother. It’s kind of a buzz kill.

I totally agree. I FF, cannot see them together, it makes me cringe. I particularly dislike all the comments on the GH groups of how beautiful she is. Spencer is what we used to call a Hunk, he needs someone of his own caliber and it’s not her. Plus she’s a terrible actress, can’t even kiss – arrggghhhh

I wondering if your real problem with Trina is that she is the first black actress that skin complexion is darker in tone that was cast to be in a relationship with Spencer who is a white male actor on General Hospital. Since, typically this types of roles have gone to black female actress that are lighter or fairer in skin complexion and from reading your post you seem to prefer Esme who is a white female who you deemed to look better with Spencer or should I say whiter, lighter, fairer in skin complexion, because to me if you are honest with yourself she is no beauty and can be considered by a majority of people as being plain and not a well dressed actress like Joslin. So stop making racial comments about Trina being not the right actress that cast for this role.

WRONG!! Just because your thinking is obscured by your obsession with skin color dies not mean others think like you.
I loved Spencer with Sydney. Is she black or white? Perhaps, you should READ before insulting others. However, since Sydney unfortunately is not available, Esme is the best “mate” for Spencer. NuTrina dies not exudes any kind of aura or personality. She’s a dilettante —-no experience and no acting skills. She’s just there. Just like new Molly. They do not have the IT factor.
Pardon the typos.

We wanted #SpringFor Sprina , Fall For Sprina yet all I see is Esme checking Spence out gag do not do it wtiters just don’t you will lose

Spenser and Essme will reunite…
Then Nik will return–
Then it will be father and son and Esse tringle drama..
and throw in who’s the daddy drama..
Trina will be put aside, wait for it..

Yes, SusieQ—You took the words right out of my mouth!! Spencer and no-personality, nuTrina are headed to Nowhereland. There’s no spark, no sexual tension ( not a single sexy bone in her body), —more importantly, no storyline–This non-couple is at a stalemate, pardon the pun.
Just picture the unfolding “drama” and juicy entertainment of what you have just suggested!! Soap Heaven.

What?

The Best soap couple ever no not Luke and Laura’s weird get together … a real cute couple taby is doing great as Trina # Sprina

I have watched General Hospital since the late 1970s and I still watch today. Luke and Laura were my first supercouple to watch faithfully. There have been others that I have enjoyed, as well. But none come close to Spencer and Trina (Sprina)! The chemistry between Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Tabyana Ali is amazing. When they look at each other, it’s magic. For a couple to have just had their first kiss just a few short months ago and not yet had an official first date, they have extreme rooting value. Nicholas and Tabyana make you feel their chatacters’ yearnings for each other. That takes talent, that takes chemistry, and that takes a connection – things that the actors work to bring out in each scene. There was no doubt about their abilities and chemistry after their amazing work with the Haunted Star storyline.They both talk about working together beforehand to create strong scenes, which is apparent. I look forward to Sprina’s romance continuing in the very capable hands of their wonderfully talented portrayers.

Sorry to disagree–“To each his/her own”, I suppose. This girl is not a good actress, she looks twelve, she is not sexy, she’s not up to par with a phenomenon such as Nicholas/Spencer, and she needs to start acting herself. I think this is the problem. She cannot assume an acting persona. I wasn’t watching during the Luke and Laura era–I don’t think i was born yet—but i was a ore-teen when I became enchanted by Nick and Sharon ( Y&R)—no way do this Trina and Soencer come even close to any other soap couple. They get a big, fat zero. Perhaps, if Nicholas were to be coupled with Esme again? —or anyone else other than Tabyana—Joss has all the trimmings needed for a hot other half. My opinion.

NOPE! Cannot invest in this couple since they replaced the actress who previously played Sabrina!

Do you mean Trina? Sabrina was that obnoxious Sparkle Pony who almost married Dr Drake.

Look at how built that man is. What a body. Sizzle no doubt and Trina whew what a hot little spitfire she is. They make a great couple on this show. General Hospital I’m hooked on now. It’s awesome. I just hope the writers don’t don’t have Esmay break Trina and Spencer .

For the people that think that Trina is unattrative bet you arent either.always hate the dark skin girls …depends on what you think beautiful is..the standard!!!;:”#&$…bs…She beautiful to me…and love their chemistry…The show is cool right now need more Luke and Laura style stories…Gooo Sprina….Haters eat …

C-B —I find your comments unsavory. You do not know what race or creed any of us is. Personally, if I turned my nose up and “hate dark skinned” girls, I would not have called Curtis a hunk, Jordan sexy eyes or the previous Trina spunky and beautiful. I think you owe many here an apology—why must some people make everything about race? Shame—I hate no one.
Plus, as you stated Tabyana is beautiful to you—more power to you. I am allowed to disagree. My opinion.

I think that they are beautiful together this world is so cruel now when is the day going to come when we see people for who they are and how they look and the color of their skin for all of you haters about Trna look up her back GROUNd and see how will educate she is she can go a long way with she have am no scholar my self l am no haters if you can see the beams in my eyes look in the mirror at yours LOVE ALL

I gotta say, some of these comments are disgusting; just like I remember from years ago, and it comes from the same source. Years ago it was about Alexis’s “sagging boobs,” and now it’s about Dex’s head too big, he’s too puny, Trina is “homely,” too much teeth…what a bunch of self-righteous, superficial, moronic, insulting comments coming from a site where no one has to show his or her face. So easy to rip apart another human being’s looks as if they’re not actual people. It’s good you can vent on this site because there’s probably not one administrator of a Facebook group who wouldn’t boot you out of his or her group for comments about an actor’s looks; so enjoy the free pass you get here to be horrible.

With that said, I can’t stand Trina and Spencer, but race is all the rage on Twitter with this couple; so I don’t see the writers ever splitting them up. Too much “pressure” because Trina is black. The slightest soapy thing that could and has happened to many characters before her is now seen with a race slant. Every slight the character suffers the writers are accused of being racist or have written it that way because she’s black. It’s too bad, because like a few here I really like Spencer and Esme…not if she goes back to being evil, but I’d be okay with Esme with an edge to her personaility.

This is so sad the way most of these comments diss Trina/Tabyanna. The unsubtle racial undertones are very evident and weSEE YOU. Well, thankfully their views on YouTube are at over a million and counting. These negative comments against her means nothing. Sprina is alive and well and there is an audiance that wants to see them flourish in their relationship. It is typical that some would rather keep him with his former light skinned and white counterpart because it makes them more comfortable. Breaking news Taby and Nicholas are fine and you can see their hot chemistry exuding through the TV when they are together, more than Esme who tried to devour his face when she kissed him, but im sure yall will give her a pass. Nevertheless, the majority loves the new Trina and so does Chavez no matter how many names you call her and talk about her tiny physique. She’s perfect for the role and GH knows it by now too. Their fan base is lit and tight. We ain’t going NOWHERE!!!!PERIOD!!!!

Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

Published

Josh and Kristen

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.

The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.

Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?

Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.

So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?

Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.

Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

Kin Shriner Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ TV Daughter Kelly Kruger

Kin and kelly

It’s been over two-years since his last appearance on General Hospital, now fan favorite Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the casting of his grown-up TV daughter, Serena Baldwin now played by Kelly Kruger.

Kelly took over the role of Serena on-screen starting with the July 30, 2026 episode and has been ensconced in the storyline with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), in trying to win back full creative control of Deception for her.

In fact on the Monday, October 19 episode of the ABC soap opera, Serena tried to dupe Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) shares of the company. Jason caught on and wondered why she was doing this. She claimed she just wanted to help her mom gain creative control from Tracy (Jane Elliot) rather than full ownership, and begged Jason to keep quiet about it, which he agreed to for now.

WHERE IS SCOTT?

On Monday, Shriner also took to X and said, “I think Kelly Kruger is doing a great job on General Hospital, and she and Lynn Herring work well together.” That was followed by comments in his thread about the show needing to bring back Scott too.

In fact, back on August 25, Shriner also took to X with a reminder that Scott is still around and ready to come back to Port Charles, sharing, “Scotty Baldwin always fits in he just needs the right sport coat !!!!”

The last time Serena mentioned her father Scott was when Kruger made her debut and informed Lucy that her father was, “living his best life in Key West.”  Meanwhile, Shriner posts on his X account continually and shared back on August 2, that it has been 49 years since he made his on-screen debut as then teenaged, Scotty Baldwin and thanked the fans for al the love and support.

So, now let us know, are you enjoying Kelly Kruger as Serena Baldwin? Do you want to see GH bring back Scott Baldwin into the story, so Serena has both her parents in Port Charles? Do you like the potential of Jason and Serena pairing? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
