“I realized that ignoring doesn’t help, but it also doesn’t help energy to go back. We walk in circles and it doesn’t get us anywhere. Everyone may not agree with me, but that’s okay. I just want ‘those’ people to know I see you,” she added, addressing the trolls.

NEW GIRL IN TOWN
Some fans seem to feel that Tabyana’s character, Trina, hasn’t had a chance to shine since Sydney left the role.
“I loved working on General Hospital, but I feel like this is the right time to dive in and make the most of my college experience,” Sydney said of her choice to leave.
“The cast became family and bringing the character Trina to life was one of the best experiences of my career so far.”
On X, while fans praised General Hospital for speaking out, they also begged to see more Trina on screen.
Trina is Josslyn Jacks’ best friend, but fans want to see her in more solo stories.
“I had to watch Trina get sidelined once before. This is worse. They are purposefully going out of their way to make her an insignificant character. If #GeneralHospital thinks this is the way to get people to like Josslyn Jacks and make her popular. You better think again,” one person raged.
“Well, General Hospital needs to show Portia in scenes with her daughter, Trina. Trina needs to have her point of view and agency and not be Joss’s best friend and companion”, reflected a second.
