General Hospital‘s mother and daughter finally had it out when Trina gave Portia a piece of her mind. Was it too much or just enough?

Key Takeaways

  • Portia showed up at her daughter’s door, and Trina wasn’t happy.
  • Trina is furious at her mom for lying and cheating again.
  • Their relationship is very shaky at this point.
  • Portia has always been there for her daughter.
  • It may be time to forgive.

Team Trina

Portia (Brook Kerr) showed up on her daughter’s doorstep in the middle of a snowstorm, so Trina (Tabyana Ali) had no choice but to let her in. She may not have been ready for this confrontation, but it was time to have it.

Portia has a problem with lying. She already lied to her daughter, Curtis (Donnell Turner), and Taggert (Réal Andrews) for most of Trina’s life about who her father was. After a lot of crying and apologizing, Trina and Curtis forgave her, while Taggert disappeared.

A few short years later, Portia is at it again, keeping secrets about her new baby’s paternity and cheating on her husband. Trina had it with her mother and was keeping her distance, but when Portia suddenly appeared at her door, Trina told her everything she felt. She really gave it to her about her lying, cheating, and blaming others. She held nothing back. It was time to get everything off her chest because she is angry and has good reason. This relationship may be irreparable.

Team Portia

Mother and daughter have always been close and would do anything for each other. Portia originally got into this mess because she was trying to protect Trina from Heather (Alley Mills). Then Trina and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) broke into Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) house to get the evidence he used to blackmail her mother. They were truly ride or die.

Portia has made mistakes, but the love she has for her daughter is real. She wanted to break the silent treatment and allowed Trina to tell her off, even if the art student took it too far. Now, it may be time for Trina to forgive. She’s about to have a new baby brother or sister, and it is hard to believe she won’t want a relationship with the new baby, no matter who the father is. Hopefully, this mother-daughter relationship can be saved.
