General Hospital Heartbreak Ahead — But Will Trina Let Down Rory… or Spencer?
Saturday, July 16th, 2022

The verdict in the trial is only part of the story.
The week of July 18, General Hospital at last begins Trina’s trial — as if anyone who has ever met, seen or heard of her could in a million years think that she’s guilty of making public Cameron and Josslyn’s first time!
Truth be told, we’re not too worried about Trina — she has an alibi and a half (as Dustin noted in his recent Soapbox column). What we’re more curious about is what happens after she’s vindicated and the proverbial house is dropped on wicked witch Esme. Finally, Spencer will be able to admit to the young woman he loves that he’s been secretly working to bust Esme all this time. But will Trina opt to run into his open arms?

‘Sprina’ at Last?
Erm, maybe not. Yes, it’s been admirable of Spencer to make the sacrifices that he has in hopes of clearing Trina’s name. He’s put up with a painful distance from her. He’s had everyone under the sun questioning WTH he was still doing with Esme. But he’s tolerated it all for the greater good. It was heroic. And possibly stupid.
Sure, Trina will be gobsmacked to learn what Spencer has been up to all this time. He will have, in a way, proven that he had the good in him that she always believed was there. But, uh, he could’ve been upfront about it. He could’ve let her in on what he was doing. And the fact that he didn’t might wave a red flag that leaves her more attached to Rory than ever.
Bachelor No. 2
Think about it. Spencer and Rory both wanted the same thing: to help Trina. However, one of them did it the Cassadine way, putting up a front and playing a high-stakes game of charades. The other… he simply said that he was investigating as best he could and doing everything possible to help Trina’s case. He let her play a role in her own fate instead of try to decide it for her.
So when the fit hits the shan, we have a funny feeling that Trina will thank Spencer from the bottom of her heart… and tell him that she isn’t interested in getting involved with someone who doesn’t trust her enough to make her a part of an effort to prove her innocence. She’ll tell him that she absolutely believes that he has feelings for her — and so does she for him. But if he doesn’t know her well enough to understand that she’s smart, capable and her own best advocate, she has to look elsewhere.
And, in fact, she already knows where “elsewhere” is: Rory, who has been nothing but respectful from day one. Plus, it wouldn’t even occur to him to go about helping Trina in a byzantine Cassadine way. That’s like making two steps forward a complicated dance that involves standing on one’s head, taking three steps back, hopping on one leg to the side and ending with a flashy cartwheel!
Get the relationship status of all of the couples on General Hospital in the below photo gallery.
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Finished. Done. Forever. Er, for now. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> We’ll give you a hint — it rhymes with “Trina,” and he’s devoted to her.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Apart. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> First it was his treacherous girlfriend, Esme. Then it was all the trouble that Esme made.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Together. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The former con has been known to bend the rules in a way that the cop only does for his mobster father.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Married… barely. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> His one-night stand with Esme was one night too many for his wife.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Married… with problems. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The tragic death of their baby left the model unable to just say no to drugs.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Madly in love. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> He despises Nina, aka the woman that neither of them yet know is her biological mom.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Divorced. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Actually, that should be “divorced,” because the state of that paperwork is a big question mark.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> RIP. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> It was game over for these two once he realized that she wasn’t drawn that way, she actually was bad — to the bone.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Happily hitched. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> It’s hard to keep a relationship stable in a town as quake-prone as Port Charles!</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> As dead as he is. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> His untimely demise brought their new beginning to an abrupt end. For the moment.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Together… ish. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> She’s keeping him at arm’s length instead of by her side as she tries getting her head on straight. </p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> TBD. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> He dropped into her life — literally — just when she was feeling her loneliest. But thus far, she hasn’t been charmed.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Dating up a storm. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The don’s family hates “the other woman” as much as he loves her. Maybe more.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> The picture of a happy marriage. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> If our horrible hunch is correct, <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/general-hospital/news/631099/general-hospital-felicia-mother-ryan-daughter-esme/" target="_blank">she has a demon spawn out there</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Boo’d up.<strong> Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Post-sex scandal, she doesn’t know that her bae is in on Spencer’s secret plan to expose Esme.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Together at last. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> She rightly wonders whether she can trust the charming Cassadine conniver.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> RIP. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> It’s pretty hard to get a relationship going when half of the couple is pushing up daisies.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Married. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> None. Whether dealing with ELQ concerns or Leo’s autism, the Qs fight their battles together these days.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Hot and heavy. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> He may not be <em>quite</em> as divorced from Jordan as he and his girlfriend believe.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Flirting to the nth. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Though opposites attract, they don’t necessarily have the easiest time seeing eye to eye.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Sparring partners. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The trick for them will be realizing that the sparks flying aren’t just animosity.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Secret lovers.<strong> Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Only one thing could make him regret their hookup more — his wife finding out.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Kaput. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> For them to try, try again, she’d have to get over his whopper of a lie about Sasha being her daughter.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Flirtmates.<strong> Their biggest obstacle:</strong> As sweet as the rookie cop is, the objection of his affections <em>really</em> wants Spencer.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Divorced. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Brad’s lie about Wiley’s parentage was the kinda deal-breaker that his husband didn’t want to renegotiate.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Deader than dead. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Even before his latest death, she’d stuck a fork in their dangerous relationship.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Apart… though not by choice. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Just as the Falconeris appeared to be on the verge of reuniting, she slipped into a coma and he, into Sam’s arms.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Life partners. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The future power couple suffers from a condition known as lack-of-storyline-itis.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Throwing sparks. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Curtis’ long-lost dad comes with more baggage than would ever fit in an overhead compartment!</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Friends. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> She’s reluctant to try to replace the late Jason with his equally muscle-bound twin brother.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Dating. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Her expression in this photo suggests that Spencer might have just walked in. Doesn’t bode well for dear Rory.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Over before they began. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> His sister Amy’s conniving moved him right out of town — and her boss’ life.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Wholly enamored of one another. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Obstacle? What obstacle? They’re perfect for each other.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Finito. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> After she fell for fake husband Michael for real, Chase moved on — and <em>toward</em> Brook Lynn.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Together. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Being a mostly <em>reformed</em> schemer, Lucy doesn’t love that Valentin’s money lines Martin’s wallet.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Dating. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Some of us kinda-sorta prefer the vibe between him and a certain other Port Charles resident.</p>
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> General Hospital colleagues. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Despite their chemistry, they’ve foolishly stuck one another in the friend zone.</p>
