    Why Trina and Spencer time together is always about their family problems?

    • @goodmusiq3539
      @goodmusiq3539 Рік тому +8

      Because the writers have an agenda and it’s not what the fans want. Sprina should be in their couple/romance era or at the very least trying to authenticate the evidence against Esme from the safety deposit box. But they’ve completely gone off course. They have no storyline at this point just supporting characters with no real direction. The writers strike is still going on so whatever they had in mind after Greenland was scrapped.

    I would love to see more character development for Trina. How many times is she going to regurgitate the same boring talking points? Ok we get it. She’s worried about her mother’s marriage. Portia can handle her own marriage. Can we get more scenes diving deep into Trina the person? Trina the 20 year old? It’d be great if her and Spencer could actually go on a date and get to know each other separate from their family drama. They’re big enough to have their own storyline. And what ever happened to authenticating the evidence against Esme??

      So true. The writer's strike is still no excuse. Tracy was saying on The GH Night Shift podcast that she didn't think Gh knew how to write for BW. It's so wild ... they are so behind the times. Right now, BW are making history all over the world. We are the most educated demographic in America. It's BW lawyers, D.A.'s and judges that are holding Trump accountable at this very moment. And they have NOTHING for this young BW to say or do that demonstrates her awareness of politics, social position, her incredible influence on fashion, art, political or cultural thought. It's a waste. Even at 20, she's got to be more in touch than this. And anyone involved in the world of art are usually passionate trailblazers. Let me see THAT side of Trina. Instead they have Trina giving fashionable 6th grade school teacher vibes "teaching" Spencer about "tombstones" for the paintings. Come on, he's gone to the finest boarding schools and has visited the most famous museums. He knows! These writers or A.I... need to get it together.

      This is going to be a storyline that plays out during the November Sweeps and trust me I think that Portia and Trina's manipulative and dysfunctional relationship is being broken up and Portia won't be around when Spencer and Trina are finally together because Portia is so narcissistic and toxic and immature and controlling.

      @@lightuponlight6727 I agree! But it’s more than just them not knowing how to write stories for BW. They don’t know how to write for the younger generation. Trina’s a college student. Why don’t we see more scenes of her navigating college or an internship instead of doing basic clerical work at Ava’s art gallery? Why don’t we see Spencer pursuing a career instead of up under Ace all the time? Why don’t we see them being carefree interacting with friends/people their own age? There’s so many different things the writers could do to spice up the drama and do the characters justice. But they’re written like an old married couple with no sex life and no interest beyond family stuff. They should be written like normal 20 year olds who go out and have fun, who navigate relationships and pursue careers. There has been absolutely no creativity, no effort, and no initiative to move the characters forward. And don’t even get me started on how they write Joss and Dex. It’s honestly just lazy writing. Sprina can actually CARRY General Hospital but the writers are determined to only use them as background supporting characters. I would love for more of the younger crowd to get more screen time.

    Trina continually burdening herself with Portia/Curtis’ relationship has to be leading to a major moment where Trina learns how Portia schemed against Spencer/Trina.

Even some of the ones who were her biggest defenders had to finally see what's been obvious to a lot of us, that her behavior is inexcusable. There is nothing to defend. There is nothing normal about gaslighting, distorting ones reality, emotionally exploiting and manipulating others, using tears to play victim by playing on a person's emotions in order to gain sympathy. Exploiting a person's physical condition/ailment in order to manipulate and gain control over others is WRONG. Those behaviors are of a dark personality disorder. Those are facts. I cannot wait for her dreams of a perfect happy family to be destroyed. Because she had zero f*cks in seeing to it that her daughter's love life is destroyed. It is only fitting that she loses. Both her and Esme. Bring on more Sprina romance. F*ck Portia and her fake a** tears.

      @@kianagray22 They definitely deserved a honeymoon phase. None of us fans understand why they chose this path. They didn’t have to do much. Give us some dates, lighthearted moments, intimacy, ILUs and a love scene. They could’ve done that this summer before the next string of bs. But I guess this is what we get when the EP and head writers are men. And that’s not a dig at men, but a commentary on how the lack of a woman’s presence in positions of power is compromising the product. I see No romance or love. Because I actually don’t see any couples thriving right now.

How many times does gh have Trina repeat the same conversation. What women in their 20s goes around worried about everyone’s else’s problems or marriage etc. Sense gh never gives Trina and spencer time to figure out their own problems they should find something else for the character of Trina to do this is boring.

      First and foremost she's an empath by nature. Second, her behavior stems from being emotionally manipulated by a narcissistic mother who depends on her as her emotional support system. Meanwhile, Trina's life is placed on the back burner. That pathetic so-called "I don't want to place this trauma on you" went the way of the wind once Trina shot that down. You see how easily Portia is able to play on her daughter's vulnerabilities. Remember, this is the same mother running around berating Spencer about burdening her daughter with his troubles, yet she is just as guilty if not moreso because she's been doing it for years. Trina's been conditioned to be a people pleaser due to her mom's Histrionic behavior over the years. Everytime her mom puts on the theatrics aka fake tears and victimhood there's Trina trying to prevent it from happening in order to maintain peace and calm within the household. Empaths are deeply affected by human emotion. This is also her trying to control this situation and prevent it from spiraling. There's a lot of info on the "Emotional Clinging Mother" as well as Parentification and how that can stunt a child's emotional growth. Children/daughter's who grow up this way end up sacrificing their happiness for the self centered mother whose life isn't all that great. Any attempts of the daughter trying to pull away or carve out her own life is met with opposition by the mother. She becomes unhinged at thought of her daughter having any sort of life that exists outside of her and will stop at nothing to prevent it from happening.

      ​@blackbutterfly3364 I can't wait to see Portia lose everything including her family including Trina and her doomed marriage to Curtis and her job. Portia seems to overlook that anyone with any association with Esme pays for their association with her. I also agree that Portia is manipulating Trina and this isn't Trina's fault and this is not long after Trina finds out that Curtis is her father after Portia lied to her. I think that Portia and Trina's relationship is slowly being broken up.

      @@blackbutterfly3364 Great observation. I can see Portia having an unhealthy dependence on Trina. It’s been the two of them most of the time so maybe she looks to Trina as a pseudo spouse and daughter. So Trina grew up trying to fix situations and hide her emotions to make her mom happy. This could be why she’s unloading them with Joss, Spencer, and Ava because she can’t with Portia.

    Sometimes I wonder if Trina is hyper focused on Portia and Curtis to distract herself from the ridiculous drama playing out with Spencer, Esme and Ace. She’s trying to fix Portia and Curtis because she doesn’t want to tackle fixing herself and Spencer. Their situation is too intense and unpredictable. She wants some measure of control and also distance. If things are her fault, that means there is something she feels she can do to fix it. And if it blows up she’ll be sad yes but she wouldn’t be heartbroken by it. This makes more sense to me than whatever the hell they have her saying. I know she cares about her mother and Curtis but blaming herself for the shit show they’ve made out of their marriage is practically out of space behaviour. Also when Taggart becomes an addict, we’ll see Trina again blaming herself when she shouldn’t. I’d prefer if she blamed Portia. Portia’s delivered so many blows to that man, it should be criminal.
    I’m still hoping Ms. Wu changed the DNA results to keep Curtis in town so she could run her business as usual uninterrupted.
