Bruh, they literally took Nikolas's background of being isolated on an island with no friends, homeschooled, no celebrations of birthdays, friends w/ staff only and gave it to Spencer, who we saw on screen actually have friends and family surround him. I'll never understand why soaps don't properly delve into character history. If the writers were smart, they could have done a generational trauma storyline. For example, Stefan and Laura also faked ther own deaths and played tug of war with a confused and hurt Nikolas.
It's interesting how they write Spencer this way. Because Luke would do the same thing to Laura as well when she would bring up issues important to her.
Ok how did Trina’s question become Spencer “me moment”. Trina asked a valid question and Spencer can’t even answer her and she also felt the need to apologize for even asking that question. There are no women I know who are passive all the time like Trina. This is horrible writing!
He did answer her question he literally said he has hadn’t thought about what’s next cor him but also explained his thought process and when she apologized he told her don’t apologize in the beginning of the scene
Trina is not passive all the time. And she had to understand why this is so important to him. There's no need for her to be a little passive aggressive about Esme, referring to them like a little family when she knows that Spencer does not want that with Esme. And it's not even the Esme situation that is the biggest factor keeping them apart. It's Portia. And it was Trina who made the decision to move back home. Trina's decision to want to fix things between her mother and Curtis. In a sense, Spencer and Trina are doing the same thing, taking care of other people and putting themselves in living situations that are not good for their relationship. The difference is that Ace is a baby with no father, and Portia is a grown woman who is controlling, deceitful, and manipulative. They both need to make time to prioritize their relationship, and they need to stop caring how anyone else feels about their relationship.
@@Drea538 Trina was processing everything that Spencer was saying, I think when both have one on one with each other and relax, everything will fall into place like a completed puzzle.

"I've been trying to make sure that my brother stays safe from Esme" - Spencer Spencer, unless there are signs of physical abuse and distress, you don't need to be helicopter brother over Ace 😒🙄 If Ace could talk, he would say "Bro, I'm good. If I need you, I know where to find you. Get a life!" 🙄😒
Saying that Spencer is manipulating Trina by explaining why he so attacked to Ace is overboard when it very apparent he suffers from abandonment issues but also is acknowledged in canon dialogues along with feeling neglected by his father which is mentioned in their scenes today as well where he also push Trina to express what else she feels and she didn’t want to . Saying that he drops everything to be with esme isn’t true cause the last couple of times including today he’s declined only to go cause Trina insisted or Portia made digs as she did today and he knows it makes Trina feel bad. the pictures were literal plot points to farther the fatal attraction storyline they’re telling with esme and Spencer and Trina . The reason why Portia is getting all the smoke is because she’s purposely trying to ruin trina relationship and happiness for no reason, while her concern are valid there irrelevant cause as Ava pointed out Spencer is trina calming force in her life. She’s wrong which is why everyone she’s asked to help break them up has turn her down Spencer still living at Laura his grandmother with esme has to do outside factors like Avery wouldn’t have anybody to film with given that she mostly films with three people and she had nothing else going on cause the writers won’t flesh her out. the family photos and the pool were are plot points to push sprina forward .
🎯💯. Thanks for all of this. In daytime drama, your favorites will be racked over before we see light at the end of the tunnel. I don't believe Spencer was manipulating Trina at all, either. What examples has he really had? He's used to dysfunctional and toxic. In a way, it's like his first relationship, too. His first was Esme, and that turned out horrible. We can't blame Spencer for Trina not speaking up about her feelings. She's chosen to mute herself, she chosen to drop the charges and each time she sends him to Esme and he sends her to Portia. Both individuals are bent on separating the two of them. I think this is why Spencer will seek counsel from Alexis about his current situation. Trina, at the gallery, again is a good thing. we've gotten more dialogue at the gallery in two days than we've had this summer.
Spencer & Trina Should've Spent The Whole Day Together.💯👑 Esme Need To Leave Spencer Alone & STOP Texting His Phone, He Was Trying To Spend Some Time with Trina. 💯
She doesn’t have to leave him alone. He’s got to make better choices. Find a balance. Crazy will crazy no matter what you do. We’ve seen him shut her down before. This should have been the same. He’s not running home to have dinner with Ace. Whether either him or Trina see it he left to have dinner with E. That bottle will talk 10min at most and the. How is he spending the rest of the night? He should have told her he would stay and left only when Portia showed up, since he and Trina decided to be low-key around her. That still keeps the drama without making him look like a inconsiderate dummy and Trina like a pushover. If they keep heading in this direction I would at least like to see Trina eventually “blowup” at him or maybe ask for a small break until he figures out how to manage his time better. He’s not being fair…especially in these early stages of the relationship.
I love the interchangeable reality check that Sprina give each other. Trina telling Spencer he's not the father is powerful. It's great getting Spencer's POV on his situation. But he definitely needs to do better on the moving out situation. His answer is not a concrete time-frame and its unfair of him to hope Trina will stay in that situation indefinitely.
I get where you’re coming from, but it’s kind of a two way street. Portia wants Spencer out of Trina’s life and Esme wants Trina out of Spencer’s life. They are both putting their relationship on hold to please selfish people. If Esme hadn’t contacted Spencer, Portia would have spoiled the moment anyway. Just like Trina steps aside for Esme, Spencer steps aside for Portia. They both need to stop putting others first and put their relationship first. Spencer can take care of Ace with Trina by his side and Trina can be there for her mother and Curtis with Spencer by her side. They aren’t mutually exclusive. That would allow them to have the family that they both want. The problem is that they don’t see that yet. They’re doing what they think the other person desires.
@@lightuponlight6727 Thank you for that. It’s a soap and they love to drag stuff out. Esme with her bikini stunt is obviously ramping things up and Portia has made her feelings known to Spencer, so I hope that is true as well. I hope after Laura returns. Esme won’t have free reign anymore. When does Genie usually return? September? I hope it’s not November sweeps, but it probably will be. 😔
@@tr738I said something similar. Portia interrupting made sense in the storyline. They said they would play it low key so I understand him dipping out with her showing up. (Thanks the soapy drama. We all yelled at the screen for Ava to keep her mouth shut. How was she to know that Portia was lying to her face.) Spencer choosing to leave (regardless of whether Trina said it was okay -which da F?!?!) was STUPID!! If the baby that’s not your son only has a bottle then you’re going no,e to have dinner with E. Trina sent her boyfriend off to have dinner with another woman. That’s just dumb. Ace is. Kt going to miss you for one night Spencer…he said as much when he declined to leave word with his baby brother the night Curtis was shot. I will say the writing always beyyer the last two days. I LOVE that Trina finally said out loud to him that he’s not the dad. But I also felt like he left the entire conversation without really hearing a word she said. (Specifically in regards to his living situation)
"But your not his father" say it louder Trina so it echoes through the gallery! Actually...say it everytime u see Spencer in your Maury voice! Why is this man running home for supper like he's a husband! Even if Trina gave him the ok..he should have said I'm staying with you. Soo annoying.
This is the main problem I have with this storyline. At least if Spencer were the father, these actions would make sense. At this point, he might as well admit that it’s not just about Ace, and that maybe he also has feelings for Esme?
@@marshagreen9759 OMG! Please say it isn't so. Although he already acts like the father. So it may not be a bad thing. He can have some sort of control and not have to follow EEL all over the place worried about Ace. He can use the evidence if legit and get full custody.
@@MissJenE Spencer would know that he is not the father, he told Trina that night at the hospital. I am not the father, and he is not. I heard it could be Oz or maybe Austin's.
I understand that Trina loves him and he loves her but that's not an excuse to accept every and anything. I think he has a lot to figure out and he's still not considering Trina in all this living with Esme scenario, just like Portia said. Trina's gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. That's just her way, but I don't think she can or should keep that up forever. I like Sprina but I don't think Spencer should be in a relationship right now period, especially if he's gonna say he didn't think at all about changing his living situation. His focus is so split between extreme opposites (Esme who you can't count out of the Ace situation and Trina who Esme has giddily tormented and emotionally and mentally attacked for like over a year). I knew Spencer was selfish, I just didn't think he was stupid.
I agree the writers really watered-down these characters. First Spencer is being super aggressive and trying to knock out Dex every week and now he's super naive. Trina was very blunt and now she barely has a voice.
Spencer's has laser focus on Ace and honestly there doesn't seem to be room for Trina. I liked Trina/Spencer together when they were acting like young carefree adults. Nothing against Ace, but the addition of the baby has torpedoed that. I think Trina should move on and let Spencer figure out his issues. It's just not fair to her to be the only one giving here. Nothing against Spencer, I just am not interested in seeing Trina in a "lady waiting" role.
Trina is being kind to Spencer , because "I don't know. I honestly haven't given it a lot of thought' in the real world is conversation that ends in an ultimatum Trina had every right to be more honest about how she felt. Spencer has gone from intentional in regards to Trina to indecisive as he leaves himself to be open to being manipulated Esme.
I dont know if Spencer thinks that once Laura and Kevin return then Esme will get her memory back and he can send her to jail for her crimes , where he can finally get justice for the three of them, and then him and Trina can get back on track. That would be great but unrealistic ; hope the writers do let Esme regain her memory so the truth can come out that she's been playing everyone and Ace isn't a Cassidine. He will still be family because of Kevin then him and Laura can adopt him officially.
I liked the scene today. Trina asked about his living arrangements and if he was going to continue to live there once his grandmother returned. I thought it was about time but that she should have pushed more and given him solutions as to why he doesn't have to live with Esme to take care of his brother. He DID tell her he wasn't sure about his living arrangements and he went on to explain why he is so invested in being there for Ace. He told about having a chauffeur taking him everywhere and how he felt abandonment at the hands of Nikolas. So, in other words, he doesn't ever want Ace to feel that way. He only had one parent, Nikolas while Ace only has one parent Esme. As far as Spencer is concerned they both fall short of being good dependable parents. Not wanting Ace to just be subjected to the help like he was he is determined to be the baby's substitute "dad" and keep him safe from neglect and pain from Esme. So, I thought that was a good idea for him to explain how he felt and why, even though I had already thought that would have been his response. Now, what I would have liked to have happened on the tail of that is, after Spencer got that call from Esme I wish Trina would have let him know her displeasure instead if trying to be the bigger person and send him on off to Esme and baby Ace. I want Spencer and Trina to be end game but I think it is about time Trina brought out the big guns! She should tell Spencer she understands how he feels but it is just too much for her and that maybe they need to take a break and he focus on his family with Esme. Then they should bring her in a new love interest, just someone to date until Spencer comes to his senses ( no sex between them😊) but someone who will give Spencer a run for his money in hotness. I bet THAT would wake him up and I am pretty sure he would then put Esme and Ace on the back burner, probably even tell Trina how much he loves her finally!!! 😍
It would have been nice for Trina to insert that her dad Taggert was still a present dad even though her parents were divorced and not living together. It also would have been a great way to show that she still considers Taggert even though it feels like they are shoving him out to help with this accelerated bonding between her and bio-dad. This idea Spencer has that he HAS to be there all the time is ridiculous. Didn’t his uncle Sonny have huge influence in his life growing up? (You know… like a father figure that didn’t live with him?).
@@lawandahenderson9615 Hell no gh shouldn't Trina and Spencer belong together and gh should finally get them together have Spencer move out already and Trina and Spencer finally together no way should gh get Trina with someone else They did that already with Rory and no way should Spencer and Trina take a break They need to get together asap
As much as I love Spencer and Trina together, the end is coming. How can it be you love Trina or say shes a priority when at s moments notice u run when Esme calls or texts. Thank you for being " father of the year" but u are not the father and even though ur childhood was bad and nicholas is gone... doesnt mean u dont have needs or u shouldn't have a life with ur gf? Trina should be ur everything not ur part time lover.... even though she is not ur lover which is crazy because u talked about sleeping together now its about everything or everyone else. Smh
Have to keep reminding myself that these are young people, who are prone to making dumb decisions at that age, and letting their hangups and insecurities get the best of them the way both Spencer and Trina clearly are. I applaud this week's scenes for at least giving them both POV - more than they got all summer. They made it explicit that Spencer's 100% concerned with Ace, he does not give a damn about Esme (which is more than the previous writers, who seemed to be muddying the water, were capable of doing). But he needs to be less passive, and get up off his ass. He's a Cassadine not a clown, and he needs to be reminded of that. He's wanted this girl for over two years and he finally he has her and he's screwing it up, he also needs to be reminded of that. Trina needs to re-learn to speak her mind and heart, her feelings are utterly valid but she keeps trying to protect him because she loves him. I think so much of this relationship has been her on the outside, where she was forced to be back when Spencer was with Esme, and she hasn't yet properly learned that he's hers now, she can make demands. She can say when's he's not happy. She can get mad. I think it's going to build to that and explode between them. The catalyst for that are in place with Esme, Ace and Portia. I think Esme's going to do something "drastic" like she said and things will come to an explosive head. Spencer will hopefully get the error of his ways, as will Trina, and they'll finally work together to destroy that useless psycho for good. And Portia will be put in her place and stop being a narcissistic helicopter mother to her daughter.
I know Spencer living with Esme sucks and I do hope gh gets him to move out soon but this week he has a talk with Alexis so maybe she will straighten hime out
Spencer was a manipulator here he made Trina feel guilty talking about his childhood and being lonely without a family when Trina asked him how much longer he will be living with esme. The truth is spencer wouldn’t move out of his grandmothers because he was never really ready for a relationship with Trina. What man takes family pictures and befriends the women who happens to be his psycho ex while living with her and pretty much throwing esme and ace in Trina’s face. Every time esme interrupts about something stupid he immediately drops anything with Trina and runs to her. Or like todays episode she text him when is he coming home for dinner. Spencer must really have balls to continue to date a women while living with another women who framed and made his girlfriends life a hell. Wow 😳😳
I think those photos will make their way to Trina and hopefully it's a wake up call for her. I wonder how old the new manager of the Savoy will be? On an unrelated note. Maybe the manager could be male too? Can't Trina have one fun semester with an actual viable male lead? I know she'll eventually be with Spencer but still.
@@lisacox3750When they found the letter that Victor had forged, for the crimes that Esme had actually committed, who, was it to interrupt who, when they found out that the letter is a fake letter? Because if I remember correctly, it was Trina who blocked Spencer... Anyone who shoots himself in the foot can only mourn himself. Trina had the solution at hand, let Spencer use the fake letter, Esme, (even if I think she's fake), has amnesia, so she would still say she doesn't remember writing those things, and, she'd be out of her balls and Ace and Spencer would live blissfully with grandma Laura, without Esme between the balls... STOP, let's not pretend that Trina isn't the cause of why Spencer is forced to live with Esme.
@@lisacox3750 - 1 - Here we talk about Trina and her morals, where she believes she is superior to anyone and thinks she always makes the right choices. In the episode she complains about Spencer and the fact that he is spending time with Esme (his ex GF) and his half-brother, when they had THE opportunity to get her out of the way once and for all. - 2 - Portia has no right to meddle in her daughter's relationship, no matter how much she doesn't like Spencer. Is it Portia's responsibility to decide who, Trina, should or shouldn't forgive? Because as far as I'm concerned the person Trina doesn't have to forgive is Esme, not Spencer, it wasn't Spencer who drugged Trina or framed her for Joss & Cam's Revenge Porn, it was Esme. - 3 - Portia is also a hypocrite... 20 years ago she decided to spread her legs and cheat on her husband, with Curtis, she lied to 3 people for 20 years, the truth came out and she played victim without consider the pain it caused, when she found out that Curtis kissed Jordan, after their wedding and after finding out that Trina is his daughter, she made a scene about being jealous… I'm sorry but Portia has lost all rights to meddle in other people's lives, when as a grown woman, she can't keep her own in order.
Actually Trina doesn't have to accept this. It is up to her to decide what she can carry. Ace does precede her in his life. These layers added are insufficient and unwanted, but it is part of the package of accepting (or not) the little brother-Esme package. I hate it for them. It's difficult to contend with but before they pursued an actual relationship he asked her would she date someone with child. It's rough, and she shouldn't carry this, but the alternative is to dissolve their relationship. Unfortunately, I see the dynamic of Jason/Robin with Carly/Michael.
I can't believe I'm saying this.. i want better for Trina. I love Sprina but these writers clearly don't want them to be end-game. Spencer is clearly not seeing the issue here cause of his trauma. If it continues like this.. it's just a matter of time until esme.. seduces him and he falls for it.
WHY! Sprina fans why’re you still giving GH head writers a. Chance.COMPLAIN and boycott. The writing for Trina and Sprina is poor. The head writers are 2 white men. There needs to be a black GH head writer

I love Spencer & Trina together but since the EP , writers & directors are obviously breaking them up which makes no sense , give Trina a handsome guy that has swagger maybe the guy that's gonna have the art show at Ava's Gallery ! She need something good happening for her ! Trina is beautiful in every way ! GH come on do the right thing since you don't want Sprina love story to go on ! But that's so very sad their storyline is the best ! The destruction of this fresh beautiful love story is a big mistake !!!
SPENCER AND TRINA REALLY LOVE EACH OTHER TO MANY PEOPLE INTHE WAY TRINA SAID THE RIGHT WORD TO SPENCER ABOUT HIS FATHER HE CLAM RIGHT DOWN THE WAY HE LOOK AT HER I DON'T CARE SPENCER LOVE TRINA
I wonder what the writing on the wall at 3:58 means. I googled Brent Houghtaling and a book called this will end in tears keeps popping up. Is this Frank's way of telling us Spencer and Trina are doomed?
So we now know that Spencer will continue to live with his grandmother {I can’t believe Iam writing this) A bright young man . . . with money of his own . Staying with his grandmother ! Co-parenting does not mean that you Stay WITH the parent it means the exact opposite of what Spencer is doing . This so unbelievable . Spencer wants everything his way. once again he is making a problem where there shouldn’t be one. OK here we go again . If I were Trina I would walk away . But, Spencer wouldn’t allow that either . I just wish Spencer wake up and move OUT!! He is giving me a headache ! How long does this have to go on!? Its ridiculous
Spencer will have a big the big surprise at the end for Trina will be Happy about yes Portia destroyed her own marriage to Curtis after Portia and Esme plan backfired on them and yes Esme will remember everything and yes❤🎉🎉🎉
This is not realistic a black woman is not gonna keep going for this crap being disrespected l Spencer being with Esme more in a house with no one else there but baby Ace this is to much to bare ! As I said I want Spencer & Trina to be together but I want Trina to walk away from Spencer an say I'm gone it's over we're finished ! That's gonna make Spencer look like a weasel ! That would be the ultimate betrayal for Spencer to go have sex with his & fathers left over which resulted her having Spencer's father's child his brother ! Y'all know the story again this is disgustingly vile just sick it stinks 😩 Leave the madness Trina even though Spencer is fine but it's not worth your dignity your a beautiful black woman !!!
Spencer and Nikolas are the same when it comes to being deceived by women. I don't trust Esme & I don't know where she got that baby, but I don't buy that either Spencer or Nik are the father.
I get how everyone is feeling rn but the Spencer rant is really his personal reason of why he feels strongly about staying with his brother. To be honest his brother is his only close relative. Everyone wants him to get up and go to live somewhere else, what if esme regains her memories and starts to use Ace against him, she already is now. He can't split himself and that's the problem he has to either find a way to manage both or consequently leave one😞

“or a tree” call back from when he said he was Victor
"But your not his father" say it louder Trina so it echoes through the gallery! Actually...say it everytime u see Spencer in your Maury voice! Why is this man running home for supper like he's a husband! Even if Trina gave him the ok..he should have said I'm staying with you. Soo annoying.
This is the main problem I have with this storyline. At least if Spencer were the father, these actions would make sense. At this point, he might as well admit that it’s not just about Ace, and that maybe he also has feelings for Esme?
@@TexasGal. Oh lord..please say it isn't so! EEWW!
@@TexasGal. I am hearing Portia make do a DNA test and make Spencer the father. If she does, she made Curtis the father.
@@marshagreen9759 OMG! Please say it isn't so. Although he already acts like the father. So it may not be a bad thing. He can have some sort of control and not have to follow EEL all over the place worried about Ace. He can use the evidence if legit and get full custody.
@@MissJenE Spencer would know that he is not the father, he told Trina that night at the hospital. I am not the father, and he is not. I heard it could be Oz or maybe Austin's.
I understand that Trina loves him and he loves her but that's not an excuse to accept every and anything. I think he has a lot to figure out and he's still not considering Trina in all this living with Esme scenario, just like Portia said. Trina's gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. That's just her way, but I don't think she can or should keep that up forever. I like Sprina but I don't think Spencer should be in a relationship right now period, especially if he's gonna say he didn't think at all about changing his living situation. His focus is so split between extreme opposites (Esme who you can't count out of the Ace situation and Trina who Esme has giddily tormented and emotionally and mentally attacked for like over a year). I knew Spencer was selfish, I just didn't think he was stupid.
I agree the writers really watered-down these characters. First Spencer is being super aggressive and trying to knock out Dex every week and now he's super naive. Trina was very blunt and now she barely has a voice.
Spencer's has laser focus on Ace and honestly there doesn't seem to be room for Trina. I liked Trina/Spencer together when they were acting like young carefree adults. Nothing against Ace, but the addition of the baby has torpedoed that. I think Trina should move on and let Spencer figure out his issues. It's just not fair to her to be the only one giving here. Nothing against Spencer, I just am not interested in seeing Trina in a "lady waiting" role.
^^This^^
This is exactly how I felt. It changed everything.
Trina is being kind to Spencer , because "I don't know. I honestly haven't given it a lot of thought' in the real world is conversation that ends in an ultimatum
Trina had every right to be more honest about how she felt.
Spencer has gone from intentional in regards to Trina to indecisive as he leaves himself to be open to being manipulated Esme.
I dont know if Spencer thinks that once Laura and Kevin return then Esme will get her memory back and he can send her to jail for her crimes , where he can finally get justice for the three of them, and then him and Trina can get back on track. That would be great but unrealistic ; hope the writers do let Esme regain her memory so the truth can come out that she's been playing everyone and Ace isn't a Cassidine. He will still be family because of Kevin then him and Laura can adopt him officially.
I liked the scene today. Trina asked about his living arrangements and if he was going to continue to live there once his grandmother returned. I thought it was about time but that she should have pushed more and given him solutions as to why he doesn't have to live with Esme to take care of his brother.
He DID tell her he wasn't sure about his living arrangements and he went on to explain why he is so invested in being there for Ace. He told about having a chauffeur taking him everywhere and how he felt abandonment at the hands of Nikolas. So, in other words, he doesn't ever want Ace to feel that way. He only had one parent, Nikolas while Ace only has one parent Esme. As far as Spencer is concerned they both fall short of being good dependable parents. Not wanting Ace to just be subjected to the help like he was he is determined to be the baby's substitute "dad" and keep him safe from neglect and pain from Esme. So, I thought that was a good idea for him to explain how he felt and why, even though I had already thought that would have been his response.
Now, what I would have liked to have happened on the tail of that is, after Spencer got that call from Esme I wish Trina would have let him know her displeasure instead if trying to be the bigger person and send him on off to Esme and baby Ace.
I want Spencer and Trina to be end game but I think it is about time Trina brought out the big guns!
She should tell Spencer she understands how he feels but it is just too much for her and that maybe they need to take a break and he focus on his family with Esme. Then they should bring her in a new love interest, just someone to date until Spencer comes to his senses ( no sex between them😊) but someone who will give Spencer a run for his money in hotness.
I bet THAT would wake him up and I am pretty sure he would then put Esme and Ace on the back burner, probably even tell Trina how much he loves her finally!!! 😍
Loving this plot twists and I agree. GH should bring somebody in Trina
It would have been nice for Trina to insert that her dad Taggert was still a present dad even though her parents were divorced and not living together. It also would have been a great way to show that she still considers Taggert even though it feels like they are shoving him out to help with this accelerated bonding between her and bio-dad.
This idea Spencer has that he HAS to be there all the time is ridiculous. Didn’t his uncle Sonny have huge influence in his life growing up? (You know… like a father figure that didn’t live with him?).
@@lawandahenderson9615 Hell no gh shouldn't Trina and Spencer belong together and gh should finally get them together have Spencer move out already and Trina and Spencer finally together no way should gh get Trina with someone else They did that already with Rory and no way should Spencer and Trina take a break They need to get together asap
Your 💯 right
As much as I love Spencer and Trina together, the end is coming. How can it be you love Trina or say shes a priority when at s moments notice u run when Esme calls or texts. Thank you for being " father of the year" but u are not the father and even though ur childhood was bad and nicholas is gone... doesnt mean u dont have needs or u shouldn't have a life with ur gf? Trina should be ur everything not ur part time lover.... even though she is not ur lover which is crazy because u talked about sleeping together now its about everything or everyone else. Smh
Have to keep reminding myself that these are young people, who are prone to making dumb decisions at that age, and letting their hangups and insecurities get the best of them the way both Spencer and Trina clearly are. I applaud this week's scenes for at least giving them both POV - more than they got all summer. They made it explicit that Spencer's 100% concerned with Ace, he does not give a damn about Esme (which is more than the previous writers, who seemed to be muddying the water, were capable of doing). But he needs to be less passive, and get up off his ass. He's a Cassadine not a clown, and he needs to be reminded of that. He's wanted this girl for over two years and he finally he has her and he's screwing it up, he also needs to be reminded of that. Trina needs to re-learn to speak her mind and heart, her feelings are utterly valid but she keeps trying to protect him because she loves him. I think so much of this relationship has been her on the outside, where she was forced to be back when Spencer was with Esme, and she hasn't yet properly learned that he's hers now, she can make demands. She can say when's he's not happy. She can get mad. I think it's going to build to that and explode between them. The catalyst for that are in place with Esme, Ace and Portia. I think Esme's going to do something "drastic" like she said and things will come to an explosive head. Spencer will hopefully get the error of his ways, as will Trina, and they'll finally work together to destroy that useless psycho for good. And Portia will be put in her place and stop being a narcissistic helicopter mother to her daughter.
Spencer still have that information locked up in the safe deposit box.
I know Spencer living with Esme sucks and I do hope gh gets him to move out soon but this week he has a talk with Alexis so maybe she will straighten hime out
Spencer was a manipulator here he made Trina feel guilty talking about his childhood and being lonely without a family when Trina asked him how much longer he will be living with esme. The truth is spencer wouldn’t move out of his grandmothers because he was never really ready for a relationship with Trina. What man takes family pictures and befriends the women who happens to be his psycho ex while living with her and pretty much throwing esme and ace in Trina’s face. Every time esme interrupts about something stupid he immediately drops anything with Trina and runs to her. Or like todays episode she text him when is he coming home for dinner. Spencer must really have balls to continue to date a women while living with another women who framed and made his girlfriends life a hell. Wow 😳😳
I think those photos will make their way to Trina and hopefully it's a wake up call for her. I wonder how old the new manager of the Savoy will be? On an unrelated note. Maybe the manager could be male too? Can't Trina have one fun semester with an actual viable male lead? I know she'll eventually be with Spencer but still.
@@lisacox3750When they found the letter that Victor had forged, for the crimes that Esme had actually committed, who, was it to interrupt who, when they found out that the letter is a fake letter? Because if I remember correctly, it was Trina who blocked Spencer... Anyone who shoots himself in the foot can only mourn himself. Trina had the solution at hand, let Spencer use the fake letter, Esme, (even if I think she's fake), has amnesia, so she would still say she doesn't remember writing those things, and, she'd be out of her balls and Ace and Spencer would live blissfully with grandma Laura, without Esme between the balls... STOP, let's not pretend that Trina isn't the cause of why Spencer is forced to live with Esme.
Leanne Christian, Thank you for speaking facts, from what I see Spencer is a selfish user, Trina need to save herself and walk away.
@@lisacox3750
- 1 - Here we talk about Trina and her morals, where she believes she is superior to anyone and thinks she always makes the right choices. In the episode she complains about Spencer and the fact that he is spending time with Esme (his ex GF) and his half-brother, when they had THE opportunity to get her out of the way once and for all.
- 2 - Portia has no right to meddle in her daughter's relationship, no matter how much she doesn't like Spencer. Is it Portia's responsibility to decide who, Trina, should or shouldn't forgive? Because as far as I'm concerned the person Trina doesn't have to forgive is Esme, not Spencer, it wasn't Spencer who drugged Trina or framed her for Joss & Cam's Revenge Porn, it was Esme.
- 3 - Portia is also a hypocrite... 20 years ago she decided to spread her legs and cheat on her husband, with Curtis, she lied to 3 people for 20 years, the truth came out and she played victim without consider the pain it caused, when she found out that Curtis kissed Jordan, after their wedding and after finding out that Trina is his daughter, she made a scene about being jealous… I'm sorry but Portia has lost all rights to meddle in other people's lives, when as a grown woman, she can't keep her own in order.
I agree with all of this. Trina deserves a better partner than Spencer. It’s been two years of watching her deal with this nonsense.
Actually Trina doesn't have to accept this. It is up to her to decide what she can carry. Ace does precede her in his life. These layers added are insufficient and unwanted, but it is part of the package of accepting (or not) the little brother-Esme package.
I hate it for them.
It's difficult to contend with but before they pursued an actual relationship he asked her would she date someone with child. It's rough, and she shouldn't carry this, but the alternative is to dissolve their relationship. Unfortunately, I see the dynamic of Jason/Robin with Carly/Michael.
I can't believe I'm saying this.. i want better for Trina. I love Sprina but these writers clearly don't want them to be end-game. Spencer is clearly not seeing the issue here cause of his trauma. If it continues like this.. it's just a matter of time until esme.. seduces him and he falls for it.
God stop trauma dumping that girl do not gaf
LMAOOOO
😭😭😭
Trina is WAY too passive, extremely unrealistic. She isnt a priority to him. Period 🙄
WHY! Sprina fans why’re you still giving GH head writers a. Chance.COMPLAIN and boycott. The writing for Trina and Sprina is poor. The head writers are 2 white men. There needs to be a black GH head writer
@@lisacox3750 Sprina fans believe they made GH so now they can break it, smh!!
@@mycoshe No, that’s what you think of Sprina fans and you came here to find an audience that would agree with you. SMH 😂. Why not just ignore Sprina fans if they bother you so much? 😂
@@lisacox3750Every fan base should complain about the horrible writing on the show. Doesn’t mean that because Sprina fans are more vocal that they think that they should be treated different.
@@lexi6797 yeah, you're confirming that Sprina fans are toxic.
@@mycosheglad I could help you out 😂. It’s also nice to know the antis are condescending and pressed
I love Spencer & Trina together but since the EP , writers & directors are obviously breaking them up which makes no sense , give Trina a handsome guy that has swagger maybe the guy that's gonna have the art show at Ava's Gallery ! She need something good happening for her ! Trina is beautiful in every way ! GH come on do the right thing since you don't want Sprina love story to go on ! But that's so very sad their storyline is the best ! The destruction of this fresh beautiful love story is a big mistake !!!
Someone suggested to give Trina a man " No sex " maybe someone like a Lorenzo Tate but younger !
SPENCER AND TRINA REALLY LOVE EACH OTHER TO MANY PEOPLE INTHE WAY TRINA SAID THE RIGHT WORD TO SPENCER ABOUT HIS FATHER HE CLAM RIGHT DOWN THE WAY HE LOOK AT HER I DON'T CARE SPENCER LOVE TRINA
Make a family with Trina!!!!
I wonder what the writing on the wall at 3:58 means. I googled Brent Houghtaling and a book called this will end in tears keeps popping up. Is this Frank's way of telling us Spencer and Trina are doomed?
Nah, but nothing is ever easy. ❤
So we now know that Spencer will continue to live with his grandmother {I can’t believe Iam writing this) A bright young man . . . with money of his own . Staying with his grandmother ! Co-parenting does not mean that you Stay WITH the parent it means the exact opposite of what Spencer is doing . This so unbelievable . Spencer wants everything his way. once again he is making a problem where there shouldn’t be one. OK here we go again . If I were Trina I would walk away . But, Spencer wouldn’t allow that either . I just wish Spencer wake up and move OUT!! He is giving me a headache ! How long does this have to go on!? Its ridiculous
The music help 😭
Bro that‘s a soap opera what do you expect 😂
Horrible Horrible Horrible writing ! No heart no imagination just nastiest ever 😡
Spencer will have a big the big surprise at the end for Trina will be Happy about yes Portia destroyed her own marriage to Curtis after Portia and Esme plan backfired on them and yes Esme will remember everything and yes❤🎉🎉🎉
Spencer will surprise Trina with one of those doves with a ring on the wing and ask her to marry him. We will all be happy except for Esme & Portia.
I miss Chandler
Who is Chandler? I live in Chandler OK
@marshagreen9759 he was Spencer's driver when he was little if you watched back in 2015 2016
This is not realistic a black woman is not gonna keep going for this crap being disrespected l Spencer being with Esme more in a house with no one else there but baby Ace this is to much to bare ! As I said I want Spencer & Trina to be together but I want Trina to walk away from Spencer an say I'm gone it's over we're finished ! That's gonna make Spencer look like a weasel ! That would be the ultimate betrayal for Spencer to go have sex with his & fathers left over which resulted her having Spencer's father's child his brother ! Y'all know the story again this is disgustingly vile just sick it stinks 😩 Leave the madness Trina even though Spencer is fine but it's not worth your dignity your a beautiful black woman !!!
Spencer and Nikolas are the same when it comes to being deceived by women. I don't trust Esme & I don't know where she got that baby, but I don't buy that either Spencer or Nik are the father.
@@pb4ugo19 I recall when Nik had her locked up, she said Ace was her meal ticket. Ace is either Oz or Austin's baby.
I get how everyone is feeling rn but the Spencer rant is really his personal reason of why he feels strongly about staying with his brother. To be honest his brother is his only close relative. Everyone wants him to get up and go to live somewhere else, what if esme regains her memories and starts to use Ace against him, she already is now. He can't split himself and that's the problem he has to either find a way to manage both or consequently leave one😞
