After recently celebrating her third anniversary as Trina on General Hospital, Tabyana Ali took fans behind the scenes of a day in her life as a soap star.
Lights, Camera, Action
In a reel shared on her Instagram, Ali takes us through her entire day on the set of GH. From her arrival to the studio to the second she turns her dressing room lights off, Ali documented a busy work day.
“A day in the life of a soap actress!! Girl, today was a busy day. I had two episodes and I had record a song,” Ali shared in the caption alongside a winking emoji. With the news of the 2025 Nurses Ball breaking during the show’s 62nd anniversary episode, it’s easy to assume why Ali was recording a song.
The reel is compiled of clips of what Ali called “a little hectic” but “one of my favorite days.” The actress gave a peek inside her dressing room, showed her close friendships with the GH crew, and took us behind the scenes as she got Trina’s wardrobe, hair, and makeup done.
The reel also featured Eden McCoy (Josslyn) backstage and a glimpse of Brook Kerr (Portia) on the hospital set before Ali’s day came to an end.
The video was well-received by fans and co-stars alike, getting a, “Wahoooo!” from McCoy and several clapping emojis from Cameron Mathison (Drew).
As for Ali’s supportive fan base, one chimed in with, “Love seeing the day in the life of Tabyana!!” while another thanked her for spotlighting the GH crew. “I love you included staff!! Non famous who are really big [sic] part who makes it all happen behind the scenes, very kind of you!”
