General Hospital News: Tabyana Ali Has A New Project!
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, the actress opened up about her new movie, ‘Empire Waist.’ Trina actually filmed the movie back in 2021 and right before she joined the cast of General Hospital.
She said, “It was written and directed by Claire Ayoub and produced by Justin Baldoni [ex-Graham Darros, Bold and Beautiful]. I play the role of Honor, who is part of the mean girl clique in this high school, but she is not the mean girl.”
“She actually is a very free, vibrant, kind of silly young girl who just wants to have fun. But because of the friendship clique she’s in, she doesn’t really get the opportunity or chance to express herself so freely.”
Tabyana also says the movie is a great coming-of-age story. When asked about the plot, she says it’s about a young plus-size girl who is not very confident about herself.
The actress explains, “She loves designing and making clothes, but because of her insecurities, she doesn’t feel like she can [succeed as a designer]. But then she meets another girl who is also really vibrant and plus-sized.”
“They kind of work together with other girls to kind of show that no matter your race, your age, your size, your height, your sexuality or your gender, you can be confident and be happy in your skin.”
