Gift AdahKin Shriner is a longtime soap opera actor (Scotty Baldwin on General Hospital). His partner is Trish Ramish, a TV actress. She plays “Trish” on General Hospital, where Kin plays Scotty. Trish has even appeared in old movies (like A Night at the Roxbury), but she’s best known for her day job as a soap-star bartender/hostess.
They’ve been a couple since the mid-1990s. In fan circles, Trish is often called Kin’s girlfriend or partner. (They haven’t publicly announced a marriage, but they’ve been together over 20 years!). Their relationship is sweet, Trish even acts on General Hospital scenes alongside Kin. Soap fans love that Scott Baldwin gets to flirt with a character played by his real-life partner.
Why is this interesting? It’s pretty rare for a daytime star’s partner to also be on the show. Trish first popped up as a red-carpet hostess at an event on GH in 2019, and has returned in various small roles since. Plus, who doesn’t love a TV couple? Their story is a fun mix of real life and soap life.
Category: Actress (Actor in entertainment). Trish is a working TV actor, so we categorize her under “Actor”. Her career is all about performing on screen.
The Trish Ramish Money Breakdown
Let’s break down how Trish Ramish (and by extension Kin Shriner’s) household might earn money. Remember, Trish is not a tech founder or politician, she’s an actress. So the usual “data pillars” like venture equity or public asset disclosures aren’t part of her story. Instead, it’s all about acting paychecks and royalties.
- Acting Salary: As a recurring actress on a major soap, Trish gets paid per episode. Daytime soaps follow union rules (SAG-AFTRA), so actors earn a set rate per day. According to industry sources, soap opera roles often pay around $1,000 to $5,000 per episode. Newer actors make on the lower end ($1k-$1.5k/episode) and veterans (10+ years) can make $5k or more. Trish’s role is recurring, so she likely falls in the lower-to-middle range of that. (For context, Kin Shriner as a veteran lead probably earns on the higher side of soap pay, but even he’s not making blockbuster TV money.)
- Bonuses/Negotiation: Actors sometimes negotiate small bonuses or higher rates for special episodes or long-term contracts. For example, a big anniversary episode or crossover might pay a bit more. However, most soap actors focus on guaranteed episodes and base salary.
- Royalties/Residuals: This is the big one. In entertainment, residuals are like royalties – extra pay for re-uses of your work. Every time General Hospital episodes are rerun on TV, streamed online, or shown internationally, actors earn residual checks. Trish, like any credited actor on GH, gets these residual payments. In simple terms:Residuals are extra checks sent to actors when their TV shows are broadcast again or sold to new platforms.So if an episode with Trish is repeated, she’ll see a small payment. It adds up over time. A soap actor who stays on a show for years can accumulate tens of thousands of dollars in residuals. In fact, industry sources note that part of a soap star’s income can come from these rerun payments. (It’s not a windfall, but it’s recurring income.)
- Other Acting Gigs: Beyond General Hospital, Trish might pick up odd jobs: one-off roles, commercials, or auditions. Her IMDb credits show a few TV and film appearances (e.g. a small role in A Night at the Roxbury). Any work like that adds to her income. Even a single TV episode guest spot pays a daily rate (minimum about $1,500 as of 2024) plus possible residuals later.
- No Startup Equity or Funding: Unlike an entrepreneur, Trish doesn’t have venture deals, funding rounds or stock options. Her “business” is her career, not a company. So there’s no equity stake or venture ROI to list. She isn’t a publicly traded executive or business owner.
- No Public Asset Disclosures: She’s not a government official or public officer, so she doesn’t have to file income/asset declarations. Her personal finances stay private.
- Other Income/Assets: We don’t have info on investments or side businesses. If she and Kin own a home, save money, or have investments, that’s not publicly known. Any savings or property would be part of “assets”, but not listed anywhere.
In short, Trish makes her money like most actors: by acting and collecting royalties. She’s an actor/artist, so her data pillar is Royalties (Residuals). Her income streams are episode paychecks and residual checks.
For example, imagine Trish films 10 days of GH work in a month. She might earn $15,000-$30,000 gross that month (depending on exact rates). Then every few months she might get residual checks of a few hundred or thousand dollars when those episodes re-air. And if she ever lands another TV or film role, that adds more.
Kin Shriner’s money works similarly: he earns per episode on GH or other soaps, plus residuals on old episodes. (He’s been a lead actor for decades, so he likely made more per episode than a newcomer). But Kin’s own finances aren’t public either, so we don’t have an exact net worth.
