Tabyana Ali Makes Her Debut As General Hospital’s New Trina

31
These are TOUGH shoes to fill. I thought she did well the first day, though a little soft for Trina. I think she’ll do okay if the writers don’t dumb her down. But I’ll really miss Sydney M. regardless.
Soaphound
I agree, but her little baby voice kind of gets on my nerves. Also, again am still not liking nuJordan, too haughty. Maybe she’ll soften some.
I – finally – had my take, last Friday episode 3/18… when the whole show focused on two upchuck “story” 1. Esme , why do they show characters, so desperate, especially, since these were words, you’d never hear ???? she hit rock bottom, with that episode w/Spencer… Another , can you shut her up? she’s neither emoting… a desperation, or pathetic… it’s just not cylinder… showing barely any facial expression.. so not worthy .shooting blanks nonstop 2ndly . Jeepers… watching Laura Wright w/Drew on the bridge !!! as they attempted a “playful attempt” at come hithers…. “you’d do that for… Read more »
I agree
She stepped right in, strong self assured Trina wasn’t coming through yet. IMO she will be fine. and did well. But she is gonna need that intelligent and tough edge to get past Esme. I just wish she could realize she was drugged by Esme that night.

I was thinking the same thing. I bet you when Esme is found out, and she will be, she will spill her guts and be more than willing to brag about everything she’s done. I am just wondering who she’ll blame as to why she did all this or will she proudly say it was her dear old dad.
She going to put it on daddy dear
With her mom being a doctor, you would think it would cause a red flag to black out after one drink. Plus her dad was an undercover cop…. Also I can’t wait until they reveal that her dad is actually Curtis.
It’s really tough to replace an actress who was so well-liked, be thrown right in the middle of a major storyline, AND interact with so many different characters on your debut. But I thought Tabyana did a fantastic job right from the jump, and seems to have chemistry with all the other characters. It seems like the GH casting department has done it again!
Tabyana did a great introductory episode, and definitely will miss Sydney, but so excited for her future. GH has definitely got a great young cast with lots of options for stories to be explored. I hope that Y and R can figure it out (aka Faith and Moses, etc.) for it is called YOUNG and the RESTLESS for a reason. And B and B does not even have any kids around to even SORAS unless Douglas (who is fantastic) and Kelly and Beth…
She is no Sydney(who was incredible in the role) but she’s better than the new Jordan. I hope Sydney changes her my and comes back, she and Nicholas Chavez were great together.
she, also, clearly, had chemistry with Cameron… before the writers , balked, and took that away, from Trina… and all of a sudden, it was back to Joss and Cameron… WTF ??? NEW Jordan is already setting fire !!!! Shawn, was in to her… so weren’t we
okay did I miss her interacting w/ Spencer? what? I saw her debut acting opposite her parents, then Joslyn and cam then it finished w/ Jordan coming to question her, where and when did she have scenes with Spencer ?
Michael your smoking something or your getting extended scenes from GH that the rest of us are not, I went back to rewatch the episode and no flashbacks or scenes w/ nutrina w/ Spencer, he just got out of lock up so I’m not crazy,.
aria
I noticed it was shown in bits and pieces, really odd, but she went to see Spencer for about five minutes, than to school and than PCPD, wierd.
I think she did a great job capturing the spirit of Trina and putting her own stamp on her, as well. Great job!
She is a lovely young lady, hopefully the “powerfull Trina” emerges more in the weeks to come. The arrest outrage was a little weak on the episode when she was arrested.
I am pleasantly surprised by how much I like her right away! I absolutely ADORE Sydney Mikayla and am disappointed she has left the show but I understand her reasons. Tabyana Ali is a bit softer than Sydney in the role – Sydney has a fierceness about her, a no nonsense sensibility. But I found Trina and Joss’s scene quite effective on Friday and her scenes with Jordan, Portia, Curtis, and Taggert were all very good. I want to see what her chemistry is like with Chavez’s Spencer – sometimes the chemistry is there with a recast and other times… Read more »
She’s feeling out the role doing okay but would like to see some of the stronger Trina attitude back defending herself.The emotion is missing.
On another note: the new Jordan HAS got to loosen up those skinny legged pants. Not what I’d want to see on the PC of PCPD to the point of inappropriate?!
I don’t like the new Jordan. Esme character is just to unreal. Time for the truth to come out.
Don’t like the new Trina. Need a recast.
Now that Sonny has Spinelli looking into the “sex tape” thing, NuTrina won’t have to be worried for long. And with any luck, Spinelli might also stumble on to an electronic paper trail which discloses who Esme’s actual parents are. We already know Ryan is her father. Still say Harmony is her mother, since we now know she’s also a confirmed psycho killer. Great genetics there, huh?
Satan
Her actual parents and her adoptive parents, and what she may/probably have done to them. We know that Harmony is not Willows mother and I don’t really think she is Esme’s. Also, I’m wondering if she was forced somehow to kill Neil? Did she have a motive of her own, or was she being used?
Between Curtis’s father and Auntie Stella the new house party was a bust.Good thing there are two doctors there for Stella. Iam confused, I thought when Sonny saw
Marshall’s medicine bottle at the hospital he recognised it as being what he takes himself for his Bi-Poler disorder but today he told Stella it was his heart meds ??
Spencer and Trina at the gallery should be pretty exciting. It will be explosive when these two finally ” get together” and we know it’s only a matter of time. It will not only be monumental for them but Esme will explode into a million pieces when she finds out. I also think she will try seducing Nickolas if she can.
I miss Sydney a lot. She owns that role and plays it to a “T” and the new Jordan just doesn’t work for me either. Maybe in time I will feel different about them, but right now they both stink.
When is Esme going to get her just desert? This story line is dragging on too long. It’s time all the dirt comes out about what she did, who her father is and what she’s up to so that Trina and Spencer can get together and Esme can join her father.
I don’t like the new Trina. Trina was strong and confident. The new Trina is timid and seems insecure. She needs to step up her game or find someone else.
Our new Trina looks small and lost with her friends and seems to be not getting her friend Joss at all. Today, she just looms over Trina and is it that time of the month or has she always been this overpowering and bitchy? Another Carly in the making?
Oh Violet, I felt sadly the same yesterday. Finally a good dramatic scene was underway with Joss confronting Spencer with Cam about to intervene…and Trina looked adrift. Her expression and body language didn’t match the others or even the events. For the second time since her debut, I’m starting to worry about losing interest in what could still be a compelling character. Not sure what should be done…But something needs to change. Now.
Why is she still missing from the opening credits?
