Ava Jerome (Maura West) has been like a second mother to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Lately, Dr. Portia Robinson’s (Brooke Kerr) disdain for Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) has Trina’s mother taking some steps back.
Ever since Trina stowed away on The Haunted Star Portia’s either uninvolved or only involved to dissuade Trina from Spencer. But she sure as heck isn’t there to convince her daughter to give Spencer another chance. General Hospital recaps recall Trina and Spencer’s argument in front of Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). The once complete self-centered young Cassadine now displays selflessness when it comes to the newest Cassadine, his baby brother Ace. But Spencer’s recent behavior sparks debate. Not only does Spencer’s fixation with Ace have conflicting opinions and feelings for those close to him, but the GH fans are torn as well.
Despite the fact that Spencer is a product of abandonment on some level, his obsession with ensuring his brother has close family seems overboard to some. While it’s understandable to want to ensure your baby brother has a safe and loving home, it’s another to want to completely take over. Ace has a loving and capable mother. Thus far she hasn’t shown any signs of her old self coming through the cracks. However, this is Port Charles. Do we really believe that Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) remains the pillar of motherhood from here on out? Absolutely not.
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Trina’s efforts may be for nothing at this point. That’s not saying that Spencer never really loved Trina, because we do belejbe he has and still does. But it’s almost like there’s more to this. The debate surrounding Ace’s paternity strikes debate among fans. GH rumors hint that Spencer’s strong sense to protect Ace is more of a fatherly instinct than a brotherly instinct, despite the factors of Spencer’s upbringing. Yes, Nikolas the absentee father has a lot to do with Spencer’s need to protect Ace. But we can’t forget that this is a soap opera, and things are rarely as they seem.
Aside from Ace’s paternity mystery, red flags are evident. GH spoilers indicate that Spencer has feelings for Esme which complicates his and Trina’s relationship even more. At some point, it won’t just be about Ace, but his feelings for Ace’s mother play a major role in where this leads them. So what’s the point of trying to talk things over smoothly and calmly with a man who won’t see reason? Maybe Trina needed Portia on this one?! 😬
