General Hospital Shocker: Jens Austin Astrup Joins as Kai – Will Trina’s New Love Interest Shake Things Up?
General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that a handsome new guy is about to walk into Trina Robinson’s (Tabyana Ali) life. Trina has been stuck in romantic limbo for quite some time following Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) presumed demise, but that could change soon enough!
Viewers will recall that Trina recently decided it was time to head back to school, so she’s returned to PCU for the fall semester.
It turns out that’s where Trina will cross paths with an attractive young man who’s sure to catch her eye.
According to Deadline, Jens Austin Astrup has joined the cast of GH and will make his debut as Kai in November.
We’ll pass along updates on Astrup’s official first airdate and any story predictions as Kai’s introduction gets closer.
As for Astrup’s previous roles, he was a recurring player on Max’s Gossip Girl reboot and has been in several short films.
Astrup was part of the Pasadena Playhouse’s production of Cyrano de Bergerac and has acting experience from his studies at Vassar as well.
When Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) made his own debut on GH, some fans thought Trina might strike up a romance with him instead.
So far, Gio and Trina have kept things in the friend zone, but could Gio get jealous once another guy’s in the picture?
It’s possible Gio, Trina and Kai could be part of a love triangle, but it’s also possible the show just decided to go in a different romantic direction for Trina.
Since it’s looking more and more like Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) might cheat with Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos), that might free Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) up to be Gio’s love interest while Trina falls for Kai.
Whatever the case, Jens Austin Astrup should be an excellent addition to the young adult set of actors.
It’ll be interesting to meet Kai and see what his personality is like once he makes his first appearance.
How do you feel about Trina seemingly getting a new love interest? Are you excited to see Jens Austin Astrup debut as Kai?
