Ever since Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) arrived in Port Charles, she has been haunted by the loss of her baby daughter she was told never made it. As GH viewers know the history, and that Nina’s daughter is actually alive and well out in this universe, it’s difficult for many fans to let go of hope that there is a daughter out there somewhere for Nina.
Nina’s most recent heartbreak involves Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson), the young woman who was put up by Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) to pretend to be Nina’s daughter. When the truth came out and the bombshell was dropped on Nina’s wedding day, Nina was beyond devastated and of course, lashed out at Sasha. As of now, Nina is leading on that she has no clue Valentin was involved with this huge lie that turned Nina’s life and emotions upside down.
General Hospital rumors have played around with the idea Nina knows what Valentin has done, and for now she is playing dumb. However, that is still uncertain.
At this point, Nina is sick and tired of the tug of war on her heart after losing a child and then thinking Sasha is her long lost daughter, only to lose yet again. Good news! There may be hope for Nina and her daughter reuniting! In an interview with Soaps In Depth, actress Katelyn MacMullen had something interesting to say about her character Willow Tait possibly being Nina’s daughter. In reply to the possibility that Willow could be Nina’s daughter, MacMullen said, “That would be insane. It would be a huge twist… except people are expecting it, right? Because why do Willow and Nina hate each other so much? It’s be cool!”
There are so many possibilities for this story line and it seems the actress would be excited to dive into this direction as Nina’s daughter. Katelyn MacMullen even agrees that having her character Willow and Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) become sisters on screen would be “best case scenarios,” and says that she and Sofia want a story line together!
Setting Willow Tait to be Nina’s daughter is a viable option but has not yet been confirmed. If the writers take note as to where Willow’s portrayer, MacMullen would like to see this character head, there is a great possibility this could be the path they choose.
What do you think? Is enough enough? Should the writers leave poor Nina’s character alone with it comes to finding her daughter? Or should she be written to finally have that happy reunion?
