According to General Hospital teasers, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) are unable to take a break from their turbulent relationship. However, Ali and Chavez have only provided a few hints as to what the future may hold for the Sprina pair. The two General Hospital actors also discussed the value of Genie Francis’ friendship and support for their respective careers.
Find out what Tabyana and Nicholas revealed about comparisons of Sprina to the iconic characters of Luke and Laura. And learn what the General Hospital stars said about Genie. Get all the details below.
Spencer Finds ‘Peace’ With Trina
Both Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine, played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez, acknowledge that they have overcome enormous odds. But does that imply that the Sprina couple can unwind now? Not in Ali’s opinion. Spencer and Trina can’t just settle in, be cute, and comfortable, the General Hospital actor, 21, cautioned People.
And Tabyana added, “They just don’t have that break.” But Chavez, 23, feels that all the challenges that their General Hospital characters face have made their relationship stronger. And Nicholas reflected, “When Spencer is with Trina, it’s the closest thing to home he’s ever felt. He didn’t have a mom, his dad has mostly been absent. He’s never felt home or family any other time in his life.”
As a result, Chavez feels that Spencer finds “peace and happiness with Trina. It’s tough love when it needs to be,” admitted the General Hospital actor. “But it’s also balance, safety, and freedom of expression. It’s all those things and there’s no other place Spencer has that.”

And Ali thinks it’s an important element of Spencer and Trina’s relationship, in case fans are wondering if they will always be on that emotional roller coaster. “I believe they are twin flames. Additionally, there is a waiting period before twin flames can come together, she added. “They have to experience this up-and-down bumpy voyage before they can experience the tranquil waters. Before sunset, they must experience the thunderstorm.
What Luke Spencer And Laura Still Collins Mean
As a result of that drama, many compare Spencer and Trina to Luke and Laura. But those comparisons stun Ali. And she admitted, “It’s hard to wrap my head around that. Anywhere you go, you say ‘General Hospital’ and people say ‘Luke and Laura.’ Generations of people still think and talk about Luke and Laura,” noted the actress.
And Ali appreciates fan feedback. “For it to be Nick and I, where people are telling us, ‘I’m watching the show because of you.’ Or that, ‘I left the show but now I’ve come back [because of you],’ I’m like, ‘What … what?’ It’s a lot, it’s a lot. But I’m grateful,” she added.
Additionally, both performers value Genie Francis, played by Laura Collins, as a mentor. “Genie is a special person,” said Chavez. She also enjoys checking in. She asks me, “How are you doing?” more often when she wants to connect with me. Do you feel alright? What’s up? Since I started on the show, Genie has been nothing but an incredible friend and mentor.
Ali concurred. “It is an honor for me to be able to communicate with Ms. Genie and learn about her life. She has shared with me tales of life in the 1970s and how it differs greatly from today. She is an excellent instructor and a fantastic role model.
