I don't know, if people are begging your characters to get kidnapped again so they can spend some quality time together then maybe the writing isn't where it needs to be.

Thank you for this post. Co-signing every single word.
I’m still reeling at the intensity of the bait-and-switch here. Like, I’ve experienced it before, of course, you mentioned Sleepy Hollow, but, this time feels even more brutal.
If people are keen to mobilise, a number of us are meeting in a Sprina Discord, and I know there have been other coordinating spaces/Zooms etc. We need to at least make noise and shine a light on this shit.
Shits on fire again in the Sprina fandom. I tell you just seeing Esme’s face in the previews just sets people off especially when we haven’t seen the chick in ages, we’ve had a Sprina drought and we know Spencer and Trina will be on Monday which probably means she’ll be involved somehow. I think fans patience level with this show is running low again. I say again because this same frustration was expressed when it took decades to get a kiss. Then once we got the kiss it took a minute for the second kiss, then another minute for them to be an official couple. Unsurprisingly they are taking their sweet time with the ILYs and love scenes for them. I’m telling you the most ill advised thing to have in watching this show is expectations 😬
There's a good chance that I just won't be able to answer the rest of these GH asks, and that's because where I think things are headed with this story are very dark and draining. But as someone who survived the Abbie Mills fiasco and was an Iris West Defense Squad member, I do feel like I owe it to those of you who are sticking around to give a little bit of a heads up.
This week's episodes were basically the beginning of a sharp pivot in the story. Trina and Spencer acting either ott or ooc, put into contrived positions that they would never organically be in. And as important as it is to love both sides of your pairing, I need people to really focus in on the positioning of Trina in what is supposed to be her love story. She is being pushed to the side, her connection with and understanding of Spencer is being undermined.
They are trying to lay the groundwork for her to be contrasted with the girl who drugged her. Once again positioned as a romantic rival with Esme, except the optics are more offensive this time because this is now a girl that has fucked Spencer's father raw (with the lasting evidence in the form of an unnecessary baby), revenge porn'ed his friends and drugged and framed Trina. You will never see Dex confiding in another girl besides Joss with his shirt off. This is treatment being exclusively reserved for Trina.
And it becomes a question of, is the rest of the story of Trina and Spencer going to be one where she is degraded, put in positions of being humiliated, established as the perpetual loser? Because if that's the case then what you are dealing with is an Abbie Mills situation. Where tptb both exploit the hype for a black female lead in the center of a narrative and then chip away at her power bit by bit until she is literally shoved in the corner, or in Abbie's case, killed off.
And if that's where things are headed with Trina, which I sadly think is the case. If they have made a calculus that the Esme agenda is more important than anything else, then the fans that intend to stick around are probably going to have to mobilize. Be it some form of "Trina Robinson Deserves Better" or a Trina Robinson Defense Squad.
The same energy that was put into endless free promotion for that show in the name of Sprina, will need to be used to call those in power out (Valentini, Chris & Dan, Korte) for the bait and switch game they are playing. It is actually bigger than Sprina, this is about what they intend to do with Trina, the black heroine that they have been using for positive mainstream promotion for a year. Cause right now the writing is hinting at a weird resentment for the character and her popularity. And when it comes to black female characters, popularity is never the shield people think it is:
I am linking this article again to put in the main tag because I think it is very relevant to the situation that is occurring on GH right now. And in a lot of ways the GH situation is worse because NAC as TA's co-lead has been unwavering in his support of the Trina/Spencer story, he constantly reiterates how central Spencer's love of Trina is to his interpretation of the character.
So if that's still not enough, if there is still a backstage agenda to undermine this popular story? Then, if you are still invested in this, it might be time for not-so-friendly mobilization, with plainspoken language about what's being portrayed on screen (misogynoir, racist optics, white woman victimhood above all).
I'm not saying it will lead to a guaranteed course correct, you can't force them to tell a story they don't want to tell. But at the very least, you can make sure they don't feel overly comfortable doing TA dirty for the rest of her contract.
#sprina#like look at my post from a few months ago#I was so excited because I thought they were telling a whole different story and they've just been chipping at it since#genuinely feel a bit broken by it#but time to burn it all down#fuck frank#fuck gh#fuck all of them#spencer cassadine#trina robinson

Spencer leaning down to whisper about Pandora unleashing all the evils of the world was a lot. Like A LOT. But I love Trina’s immediate rebuttal that she also released hope. It’s stupidly flirty but also just so THEM and speaks to how well they fit together. Spencer will always see the darkness in any situation, while Trina’s first instinct is to look for the light.

I’m really glad that we got to hear how Trina was feeling about the DNA results. Seeing Spencer be supportive, not wanting to pry, but knowing that she must have had a million things going through her head…this is why they work.
Her asking about Victor and the key. Spencer not wanting to bother with it, but got his sexy ass up and left when she said she wasn’t taking no for an answer?
They are IT. They are a team. They are what we’ve been waiting for from a young supercouple.
