While we’re weeks away from her on-screen debut on “General Hospital,” daytime newcomer Tabyana Ali is thankful for all the support she’s received from fans of the series in the hours since it was announced she would be taking over the role of Trina Robinson following the departure of the character’s original portrayer, Sydney Mikayla, who decided to leave the soap in order to concentrate full-time on her studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

“I’m so grateful to have this opportunity! Thank y’all for the warm welcoming. I’m so happy to be in this position,” said Ali on Twitter.

In addition to her own tweet which has since amassed more than 900 likes, over 100 retweets and nearly 130 comments, Ali also retweeted a number of tweets from fans welcoming her to the show.

One tweet read, “@iamaliford Welcome to #gh! We love Trina and are eager to see whats in store for this wonderful character.” Another said, “I’m so excited to see this beautiful lady make the role her own!” A third added, “Welcome Tabyana, I look forward to seeing what you bring to the role of Trina Robinson. I’m sure you’ll be fantastic as well.”

“We’re excited to welcome Tabyana Ali and see what she’ll do with the role of Trina,” said Frank Valentini, the show’s executive producer, in a statement to Soap Opera Digest on news of Ali’s joining the soap.

In addition to “GH,” Ali’s other television credits include appearances in episodes of such shows as “New Girl,” “Shimmer and Shine,” the Netflix comedy “The Big Show Show” and more recently the Shudder original movie “Horror Noire,” among others.

In 2017, Ali co-starred in the Amazon Original series pilot for “A Kid Called Mayonnaise” from the creator of the 90s Nickelodeon series “The Adventures of Pete and Pete.” She played the role of Malone in “Mayonnaise.”

Mikayla last airs as Trina Robinson on Thursday, March 17. A first airdate for Ali has not been announced but is expected to be sometime later this month.

    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
