Sydney Mikayla is having the time of her life portraying Trina Robinson on General Hospital. And, her storyline may have just gotten more interesting since viewers now know she is related to someone in Port Charles. But, the question is who! Mikayla spoke with Star Kidz about her time on the show and more. 



Mikayla's interest in acting was ignited by her mom. She shared, "I was inspired to become an actress by my mom. She’s a professional actress and she put me into acting when I was about 5 and I just kept going with it. I think the industry used to be more about fitting into a certain mold, but I think that it has definitely made some changes since I started."

Her first time in daytime soap operas was when she played a scout on Days of Our Lives while in the 4th grade. Now, she is playing GH's Trina and she noted, "Joining the cast of General Hospital was a bit difficult at first but I love it so much. I say it was difficult because if you watch the show you know that I’m not the first person to play this role. I’m the 2nd person to play this character, so unlike other roles I’ve done, Trina didn’t really get in introduced I just kinda jumped into the character so it felt like jumping in 12 feet of water. My castmates are very professional and they definitely bring me up and have my back. So whenever I get nervous I just remember that a way I’m just playing a version of myself. I’m really excited to play this role. Knowing my lines helps me to keep up with the fast pace on set. As long as I know my lines, I know I’ll be ok."

Trina may soon get some more backstory, "I won’t say too much about a backstory, but I know an episode aired that revealed that Trina took a DNA test and she is related to someone in Port Charles. So I can’t wait to see what will happen next. Who knows? Maybe there’s some drama there."

In regards to working with Daytime Emmy award-winning actress Maura West, Mikayla said, "Maura West is incredible. She has already taught me a lot about professionalism on set no matter how famous you are. In the soap opera world, she is royalty! One of my best memories so far with her was shooting one night, we were tired, she had this scene that was basically just a monologue and she did it in 1 take! That was so great for me to watch. She killed that scene, so professional and so prepared. I’m definitely taking notes."

Mikayla is appreciative of her fans and also requires their support with her new series, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeats which drops on Netflix on January 14, 2020. Be sure to check it out!
