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!!!!

RATINGS: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Inches Closer to ‘General Hospital’ in Total Viewers

Published

Beyond the Gates and General Hospital

The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.

According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.

Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS

In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .

BEYOND THE GATES

Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:

Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).

Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL

Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:

Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.

Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.

Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.

Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a  benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.

However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.

So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.

Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU  Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.

The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

‘General Hospital’ Casts Ayla Bullington as the New Avery Jerome-Corinthos

Published

on

By

Ayla Bullington

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ava’s (Maura West) daughter Avery looks quite different, starting on today’s November 9 episode of General Hospital. That’s because GH has made Avery into a full-blown teenager and the role is now being played by actress Alya Bullington.

In her debut, the Tennessee native was thrown into the deep soap waters with Daytime Emmy winners, Maurice Benard and Eden McCoy (Josslyn). Bullington weighed-in to TV Insider about her first scene which featured Avery overhearing a fight between Sonny and Josslyn.

She explained “It was something I have never done before, I did not have a lot of experience with the screaming and the crying stuff, but I got my first script, and I was like, ‘OK, this is a huge opportunity to learn so much about how that stuff works and to become this character that I have never even tried playing before.’”

THE TEENAGED VERSION OF AVERY WILL HAVE A LOT TO CONTEND WITH

Speaking of working with McCoy, Bullington shared, “She’s incredible. I remember her just laughing and making jokes on set, and then the minute that they started taping, she just locked in and she cried immediately, and my first thought was, ‘I want to be able to do that.’

The soap opera newcomer added, “I think she just inspired me so much because she is so great and she can just lock into whatever character she wants to in the moment.” 

The character of Avery was born back in 2014, but as recently as the October 8 episode of General Hospital, the character was suddenly referred to as a teenager. This is the second young female character in recent months to be aged up following the casting of Kayden Brenna Tokarski as Scout Cain.

As for her take on Avery and what’s ahead, Alya said,“She’s emotional, and she’s curious, and she’s a really fun person to play because so much stuff is happening in her life. I think she’s kind of confused about what’s happening and what to believe.”

So, what do you think about General Hospital making Avery a teenager? Are you excited to see the conflict between Sonny, Ava and Avery now that they have aged up the character? Share your thoughts and welcome Alya to GH via the comment section below.
