The hottest young duo on daytime drama these days belongs to General Hospital.  The couple known as ‘Sprina’ played by Nicholas Chavez (Spencer) and Tabyana Ali (Trina), is being given plenty of non-stop intrigue and drama and romance, much to the delight of their fans, who just can’t get enough of them.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands everywhere Friday, Chavez and Ali weigh-in on all the latest developments and recent airshows including: the reading of Victor’s will, what to do about Esme and baby Ace, the action-adventure scenes in ‘Greenland’ and the Haunted Star, and most notably, that emotional leap from Trina into Spencer’s arms when he turned up alive!

Ali told SOD on her preparation for the moment: “I did a couple of jumps and held a baby, and that was about it!”

Chavez added, “That is my favorite ‘Sprina’ scene, Spencer is walking toward Trina and Trina breaks into a full sprint towards him, jumps into his arms and they kiss.  I’ve always wanted to do a moment like that, you know what I mean?” Ali said, “I really loved that scene, too. It was just so fulfilling.”

When addressing what each of them would like to say to their lively and constant fan base, Tabyana expressed; “I would just say we love you, we appreciate you, thank you for all of your support and thank you for not only being fans, but turning into family.”

Nick added, “I co-sign all of that. Every single word.”

I hope Spencer and Trina get their own home together. #Sprina

Me too!

What makes “sprina” so special to me? I love how supportive they are of each other during their family drama separately and together, that’s what being in a relationship is all about supporting each other, listening to what the other person has to say even if you don’t always agree. You work together as a team.. This lovestory is so beautiful and the way Tab and Nick just pull you in by just watching their scenes, it’s amazing I love it!!The sprinadventure and the reunion was EVERYTHING it gave what it needed to give Nick and Tab ALWAYS DELIVERS, it was beautiful❤ I can’t wait for the next chapter of the sprina lovestory

I hope they will stay together forever
They are so strong for each other!

The biggest factor that makes Sprina special is the two leads that play Spencer and Trina- Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Tabyana Ali. These two have unbelievable chemistry and it comes through in every scene they’re in together- whether they are arguing, working together, or confessing their feelings for each other. When Tabyana came into the role, she didn’t miss a beat in connecting with Nicholas. They work so well together that it comes across with such ease. Their scenes during the Haunted Star adventure took them to the next level. Nicholas and Tabyana made you feel their deep connection as their characters gave into their feelings for each other as they fought to stay alive. That leap sealed the deal- Sprina is a force.
Lastly, these two actors love and appreciate their fans and show that in a number of ways. I look forward to their upcoming storylines and wish them all the best.

thumbs up all the way on Trina and Spencer, and thumbs way down on Josslyn and dex who are boring and annoying .

Totally agree!!! They show an actual growing relationship, the ups and downs. All they do with Joss and Dex is sex, no real relationship, ruined Joss character for me, and I just don’t like Dex

They remind Me of a love I had in college… the good, the bad, the ugly but every moment was magical.
I will never forget it. This is a beautiful love story that GH created n im here for it everyday… NAC & Taby are amazing !!

They are great together. At it was hard for me to get use to the new Trina, however, she fell right in to her role as Trina. Love them both together.

Here we go again . Someone (Nicholas) is in a dangerous situation in a foreign country and now someone (Valentine and Laura) are going to find him. It’s obvious what will happen next. I’m very bored with this storyline. VERY.

Cathie, Don’t worry yet, we may see none of this, I hope. It’s Genie Francis annual vacation, so maybe we’ll be spared the Russian trip, her husband Kevin and Yuri are going along.

What makes me care for this couple is that the writers took their time telling their story as opposed to force feeding us into accepting them as a couple. Trina has her trials and tribulations, and Spencer is flawed but that’s what makes them interesting to me and fun to watch.

Please don’t break them up!
I know this is soap land but they are just so great together! A joy to watch!! thank you!!

I would like to see next Sprina love scenes it has not yet happened in the show it’s time for general hospital to do so

I hope they have a lo g and happy life together ❤️

Me too. Honestly would love to see them move forward thru life together.. great friendship and chemistry

They need to go to the next level, like Joss and Dex. But Trina has to keep an iron fist on Spencer to make him accountable for his behavior. Sprina are my favorite couple!

What makes Sprina special is their dynamics together, their chemistry, and how their friendship has slowly but surely blossomed into a love that sacrifice for each other. Young love has never really been depicted like this on a daytime soap before with characters like Trina & Spencer, so I consider Sprina the first of their kind.
Spencer’s been in-love with Trina since he first saw her at the gallery & again at her graduation party. Trina’s been hesitant about her feelings toward Spencer but her love for him shows itself whenever she covers for him, supports him, jumps on a moving ship for him, and recently literally jumping into his arms.

I would love to see Spencer romance Trina, take her on dates, go on another adventure together, find a place that is all his own to then ask Trina to move in, and like Victor suggested in the Will reading, safeguard HIS own family.
This isn’t to say that Spencer should leave Ace & his Grandmother behind completely. No. I certainly don’t want to see that. Instead, I want Spencer to start learning to balance his familial relationships without losing focus on his personal relationship with Trina. Sprina & their fans deserve to see their commitment & passion come to FULL fruition.

I would also like to see the writing & editing of Sprina just be a little tighter. The audience has seen a few gaps recently where the individual characters have taken a few hits and that can be reframed to make things a bit smoother to watch.

Last but not least, Tabyana & Nicholas. There is so many wonderful things that I’ve seen & heard about them. I love how kind they are to their fans. They have knocked every scene out of the park for me. They work so well with the vets and together in their portrayal of Sprina. They ooze chemistry in scenes together & it is beautiful to watch.

Thank you so much to both Nicholas Chavez and Tabyana Ali for handling the characters Spencer and Trina with such passion and such dynamic acting. You guys rock and the love story of Spencer and Trina is awesome. You have such great chemistry and I literally cannot wait until the next episode just to see Sprina. Keep bringing it. GH please handle this storyline with care!!!

1( Spenser and Trina are a gawdawful couple..
They have zero chem…
Spenser profiles a man
Trina profiles a child.
A man with a child in sexual contact is a pedo.
I’m not alone with that and a good many see it as being just that, a man with a child..
___The blame falls on casting ..
2( An irk/peeve of mine is grownup and Boomers. Intelligent people using a schoolyard neener ”Sprina”
Whoever came up with squishing names to make people look simple should be sent to Siberia..
good grief ”Sprina” , sigh..neener neener, if I were on the school playground I’d say grow up to the Neeners..lol
Now a good many are grinding their teeth at me while others agree..
That’s the sweet side of the internet..
There are men and women fighting every second of every day to keep the right to free expression in a peaceful manner..
…. {{{{ HUGS }}}} to all 🙂
There are two sides to a coin both have equal worth/value.

It’s time for Trina and Spencer take the next step in their relationship would be a love scene in bed that has not happened yet so I would liove for them to do so general hospital

SuOOO,
Su, one of your better and meaningful posts, you told it like it is. This whole Trina, Spencer thing is ridiculous and the less I see of them,the better.

100% agree. Over them.

Could not agree more. She does not fit with him at all & she does not fit her parents either. I am sick to death of the Trina show. God. Go away for a while.

What I would like to see next is love scenes in bed they have not got one yet

Andrea,
You’ve got a one track mind, and its going the wrong way, YUK!

There has been a certain spark since the day he met Trina. I was always curious, now it’s here and I am enjoying it immensely.

I would love to see Sprina move in together and take their relationship to the next level! With so much undeniable chemistry between them there’s no limit to where their love could take them. I look forward to Trina reassuring Spencer that he is definitely deserving of her love!

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”

Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Published

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.

The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.

As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL

Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)

According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”

Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.

Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.

In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.

Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
