General Hospital Spoilers: Willow Recognizes Nina’s Pendant

The story of Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and the search for her biological daughter has come back and forth to the front burner of story lines. It first looked as though Kiki Jerome (Kristen Alderson, Hayley Erin) would be written as not the daughter of Ava Jerome (Maura West), but that of Nina Reeves. Then the story went on the back burner for a while, only being mentioned here and there.
Nina has most recently been hurt when she thought she had finally found her daughter, just to have it ripped away like a cruel joke. Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) led Nina to believe she was her child as instructed by Nina’s own fiancé, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). When that mess hit the fan, Nina was devastated. It’s been a little bit of time since this let down and Nina is revisiting her situation.
General Hospital previews show Nina confiding in Jasper ‘Jax’ Jacks, tell him she still feels her daughter is out there.
In a new promo video for General Hospital, General Hospital spoilers reveal Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) spots Nina with one half of a pendant which seems to strike a cord in Willow, promoting her to mention the necklace.
In recent General Hospital rumors, it has been claimed that two woman may be candidates for being revealed as Nina’s daughter, some claiming both women will be her daughters, claiming Nina had twins. General Hospital rumors suggest Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) and Willow Tait could be long lost twin sisters. However, other GH news and spoilers have indicated just one woman will end up with that title.
Did Willow recognize the pendant because she has the other half, it or did she see it in Nelle’s possession at a given point in time?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nelle And Valentin Use Each Other, Wedding Bells To Follow

Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) have always had a strange relationship of despising one another, to helping each other out with their schemes. Valentin has come through for Nelle on many occasions, even if it isn’t out of the goodness of his heart. Valentin has helped Nelle when it made sense as being beneficial to himself. Offering to buy Nelle’s shares of ELQ, providing fake passports for her and her son Wiley are examples of how Valentin has come through for Nelle throughout her plot to get out of Pentonville, have some money to her name, and get out of dodge without a trace. Despite the fact that she wasn’t able to get away as planned, the intent to help Nelle was still there.

Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Valentin Cassadine aren’t fond of one another, mainly because Michael had threatened Valentin back when Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) was exposed for pretending to be Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) long lost daughter. Valentin was the one behind the entire scheme and Michael made it known to Valentin that he was to have Nina drop the charges against Sasha or he would expose Valentin to his love, Nina. Valentine has good reason to want to stick it to Michael, which is why Nelle and Valentin working together totally makes sense.

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Nelle turns to Valentin yet again and this time, Valentin won’t turn her down for that drink she asked to get in the recent past. General Hospital rumors claim that Nelle will present Valentin with what they will both see as a genius plan to help Nelle get custody of Wiley and to stick it to Michael at the same time.

General Hospital spoilers hint Nelle and Valentin will be ahead of Sasha’s plan for Michael and Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) to marry for the sake of Wiley. Previous General Hospital rumors claimed that Valentin and Nelle would eventually hook up as their have both seen better days and need someone to lean on. Will they be able to beat Michael and Willow to the punch and get married? Even if these two get married in order to make a home for Wiley, will the court even recognize this as being a stable home with these two psychopaths?

General Hospital Spoilers: Will Sam Be The One To Blow The Whistle On Nelle?

Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) thinks she really smooth with her fake ID, fake passport for herself and for Wiley aka Jonah, and is making plans for a first class one way trip to Buenos Aires. She somehow convinced Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) to create a fake identity for herself and her son, helping her get out of town.

Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) overhears Nelle on the phone with the airline, discussing when her flight is departing. The two women bicker back and forth and Sam reminds Nelle that she is on parole. Nelle gives it right back to Sam and then tries to be cryptic while inadvertently warning Sam that Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and the rest of the Quartermaine/Corinthos families will never see her again.

Hopefully Sam’s P.I. skills kick in and a light bulb goes off that will get her on to Nelle and her plan to steal Wiley and skip town. Now that Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) remembered Brad’s (Parry Shen) confession just before the crash, Michael and the entire Corinthos clan know the truth about what Nelle and Brad did with Wiley.

It may not be immediately that Michael is reunited with his son, Jonah. Nelle is bound and determined to nab Wiley and head out of the country. Will Sam figure it out before it’s too late?

General Hospital Spoilers: James Patrick Stuart Dishes On Upcoming Romance, Get Ready For ‘Vanna’

Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) will keep his legal surname despite the fact that he just found out that he is not a Cassadine by blood. The identity of his biological Father remains unclear after Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) made her appearance and was talking a sort of confusing, Cassadine-scheming, nonsense.

General Hospital spoilers reveal, in a recent interview with Michael Fairman, James Patrick Stuart dishes on an upcoming romance for Valentin and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). Stuart started out by discussing the rut Valentin is stuck in at this moment in life as he just had some major setbacks in love and family. When asked about Valentin’s love life, he touched on Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) telling Valentin he’d be waiting a very long time if he were to wait for her. Nina has clearly moved on with Jasper Jacks ‘Jax’ (Ingo Rademacher). Valentin will eventually have to move on.

In the interview, when asked about a possible romance with Anna Devane, James Patrick Stuart replied with a green light. Stuart is all about Valentin and Anna becoming an item. He tells Michael Fairman, “Personally, I’m waiting for that, I hope so! There is so much finesse and elegance about that woman, and not only that, there is an effortless to the connection between Valentin and Anna, if one can say that about one’s own coupling. I love to look at it!”

Valentin and Anna have undeniable on-screen chemistry despite ill feelings Anna has toward him. Stuart goes on to disclose, “It’s floating out there waiting to be done. I know that everybody knows it. It’s just the matter of what the right way to go about it in the writing would be.”

It looks like we will be seeing more interaction between these two, leading up to the inevitable.

Are GH fans ready for ‘Vanna’ to be the next unexpected, yet perfectly chosen love story?
