I'll take my apologies from everyone who said I was being 'too negative' on this point last year on engraved or embossed parchment. Scented optional!

Well...since I didn't say it, but did take a realistic pov on it...

 

 

 

 

 

GH drags it's feet when they have a good thing. While I respect that General doesn't slap couples together like the bold and the beautiful, they did the same thing with Jason and Britt. Took to long to pair them, interrupted the story with a poorly executed Carly marriage plot and then Burton got fired, so no Jason & Britt. We barely got any time with Spencer and Trina as a couple while Sydney was still in the role.

And I am all about education.  But I also bet if Frank had offered her what she was worth there might have been at least a 2 year contract, enough to play this out some.  I really liked her as Trina, I hope the new performer brings what we love and new dimensions to the character.

I understand her wanting to go to college (I'm unsure of the major). But if it's not something like law or medicine that explicitly requires specific credentials, will college take her further than a role on a network television show, even if its a soap? Daytime can still be a good launching pad--ala Justin Heartley.

Well there have been very successful recasts  and i know there are very capable actresses out there to play Trina

Maybe this recast will end up doing well. We've had had some good recasts lately. I think that both Cam Mathison and Krista Allen have been doing a nice job in their roles as new Drew and Taylor. Even if their storylines aren't the best right now. Cam's Drew has chemistry with a lot of people and Krista bears a good likeliness to Hunter Tylo's Taylor and is fitting well in the role. Maybe this new young actress will be fit in well as Trina and have chemistry with people especially Nick.

Yeah, chemistry is lightning in a bottle, and NC and SM were special. You know it when you see it. The next actress might be perfectly capable, but it would be like recasting, I dunno, Marcy Walker’s Eden on SB and expecting her replacement to have that rare connection with A Martinez. It’s a tall order.

I agree that Sydney and Nick had great chemistry. I hope he has good chemistry with this new actress, though things won't be the same. He is one IMO, that tends to have chemistry with a lot of people so maybe he will have chemistry with this new actress. 

I will miss Sydney. I enjoyed her in the role and loved her and Nick's version of Spencer together. I wish her the best.

tbh I find he entire younger set on GH boring as hell, and Trina seemed place-holder af w/ Spencer just keeping the seat warm for Jos/Spencer, that's why she has a rivalry w/ Esme instead of Trina (always seemed strange...)

I agree. There is slow burn and then there is letting water almost boil out of the pot until there's almost none of it left. And I feel like they did the latter with Sprina these past few months. It's a shame because even though her time was limited due to school, I still believe they could have done more with this version of Spencer and Trina. They should have kissed already, the show wasted too much time not doing anything with them. Or even developing Esme and her background properly. We still don't know what Esme's connection with Ryan is.

On the bright side, I have a feeling that Sprina will be shown considerably more now that we have the new actress and (I believe) she will have more time to dedicate to the role. So maybe that will help with things, especially if her and NC have chemistry together. I do think that this shows the show is still interested in the pairing. They could have just sent Trina off screen like they did other people, but they didn't. I hope that the recast works out.

They slow-rolled them at least in part because it's not Joss, and Spencer/Trina are intended by FV ultimately as a B-couple and sidekicks like what Starr and Cole had on OLTL.

We'll see how the new girl works out. I agree SM was also green, but like Chavez she had charisma and spark.

I ❤️ & respect @SydneyMikayla. A great talent who prioritizes her 4 yrs at @ucla. #Gh will still be there, but this 4 yr focus is paramount for greater reasons & exactly why @GeneralHospital & I both know she will flourish best. https://t.co/nYZ8nRQ0ya

I’m so grateful to have this opportunity! Thank y’all for the warm welcoming. I’m so happy to be in this position 💕 #gh #trina #GeneralHospital

I’m happy she did this. They write these teens like they’re in middle school and the story doesn’t go anywhere for them. Plus with her being Black, there’s only a matter of time before she becomes a background character. She got the experience, built a fanbase, now she can go to college and get a degree to set up her future. Acting will still be there when she graduates at 22.

If I'm being perfectly honest, I never saw the amazing talent Sydney had anyway. She has a very bland way of delivering her lines. I think the same of Eden McCoy. 

Thank you.  I always thought she was awkward.

Soap Twitter is saying this may be the new Trina. No name of actress yet

She looks like the type to beat Esme to a pulp....

GET THAT DEGREE, SYDNEY!  YOU GOT THIS!

I am very late to the party, but I am so sad to hear SM is leaving. I can’t believe all that buildup and chemistry, and we won’t even get a Sprina kiss before she leaves.
