I think this was an absolutely awful time to introduce a new actress in the role of Trina.  It is ruining this storyline.  This actress shows absolutely no spark or fire like the previous actress.  It's like an entirely new character to the show.  I feel sorry for the new gal because she had some BIG shoes to fill.

People have to get over this

A Recast is not supposed to COPY how the previous actress protrayed the role

Tabyana is different then Sydney & her take on Trina is Different as it should be

 

HOWEVER, The esssence of Trina is still there and thats the point

 

ALSO, Sydney couldnt give them more time as the new quarter at UCLA was starting

AND GH was right to recast at this point, this story will be front burner & needs an actress who has the time to give to the role.

If people want to act like Sydney Mikayla's Trina was somehow commanding every scene and dominating the canvas and not at the whims of story, like when Trina was drugged and framed while the white teens had a passionate love scene, they can do that. It's not accurate, though.

The character is the same windmill she has been since her inception because GH will not allow Trina to supplant other preferred characters. That hasn't changed from actor to actor. Time will tell if Ali has some of the same fire despite those restrictions, but so far I have been pleased with her work and the depth of it.

This is what Tabyana Ali (the new Trina) said in SOD about her scenes at the police station March 28:

“I definitely wanted to play it as a vulnerable moment, but still a fighting moment.”

In relation to Trina, I wonder if what will happen with the character is like what happened when Victoria in the Young and the Restless was ‘re-imagined’ when Amelia Heinle took the role? 
 

I previously said that Tabyana Ali’s ‘softer’ take on Trina might allow the writers to make her more of a victim for Esme. Her being physically smaller solidified that in my mind.

I think the new Trina has been absolutely seamless in terms of transition. The hardest way to do a recast is when they jump into a middle of story, so I’m not surprised we haven’t seen some of the traditional elements we’re used to from Trina. She literally said hi and ended up in jail. Plus it’s  been less than a week.

She seems to have chemistry with Chavez at first glance. They'll have to make sure she doesn't become the little woman/sidekick though. With SM Spencer was more the ingenue than Trina, the less conventionally strong or dominating partner. I think TA may be capable of that fire but we haven't been given the chance to see it yet. We don't know what she can or can't do, but she definitely can sell emotion.

    • Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.
    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
    • Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

       And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go  Enjoy, @Soapsuds
    • I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

    • Could Nikki just be a big Gram Parsons fan? I think it works for Julie, but they should be doing better by Traci - none of this, from hair to wardrobe, is flattering.
    • To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
