SPOILER! The Willow/Nina reveal short or longterm? (minor spoilers mentioned)

[TVDfan]

I am 50/50, not sure if I want it revealed now or let the damages become greater.

Due to this storyline having years I want the reveal yesterday.

However, in the last few episodes I have really wanted to stretched a bit because I want Carly to do some damage and live with the consequences…at least for a month or 2.

if the reveal happens in a week or 2 I feel no damage no foul because she can say she was waiting for the DNA.

I heard a CW interview with M. Fairman and she said her redemption was coming and she gets to accomplish a desire of hers.

[stopthefall]

OK I’m still confused. Is speculation supposed to fall under spoiler? Because I don’t get that, it’s not a spoiler?

[xoregonian]

This doesn't sound like a legit spoiler, just the OP's wish or thoughts. Why the spoiler marker?

[believeinme246]

I believe the spoiler is because of an interview between CW and Michael Feldman about the redemption and getting what Nina wants and the reveal that triggered the thoughts.

[littleliz]

I say around Thansgiving or Christmas!! Not hanging around for it. Dragging it out for too long.

[QStan0710]

Same Here! Don't care, Anymore!

[OLTLBoomer]

Sources please.
This reads more like speculation.

[SAMLEXIS FAN]

I don't think Carly is going to say anything even after getting DNA proof.

The only way Carly will be forced to reveal the truth is if Willow is faced with a medical crisis & needs Nina to save her life.

Drew knows the truth. He's a decent guy. So if Carly won't tell Willow the truth, he most definitely will. The problem is Carly could lie to him by telling him the DNA didn't match.

I hope they don't drag this out until November sweeps. I'm already annoyed with this repeat storyline we already had with Carly keeping Nina in the dark about Nelle.

I'm still waiting for Nina's redemption to play out too. Being in a position to save Willow's life might do it.

And, of course, I'm looking forward to all the drama at Wiley's court battle next week.

[TVDfan]

Chloe L. posted the year of the twins and Cynthia alluded to her finally being a mother and Maurice hinted a redemption storyline for Nina.

Those are a lot of hints

I highly doubt that actors are told very far in advance about a storyline…right? I can see them being told about a storyline 4 maybe 5 months in advance, but a year…I don’t know.

[SAMLEXIS FAN]

I know the writers love to drag things out. I think they're four or five weeks ahead in their taping schedule.

[xoregonian]

I'm still waiting for Nina's redemption too. Waiting, and waiting, and waiting...

It's been years.

[TVDfan]

I have gotten in trouble in the past for not putting a spoiler tag for post like these. Some posters might not know about the interview I guess. Or the post might have spoilers in the comments.

Unless I misunderstood the warning

[CashierJudy]

I think you did the right thing, don't sweat it. If you didn't use the spoiler tag, someone would complain that they didn't know what CW said.
Hang in there.

[Clementine15]

You did this just right! No need to beat someone up for being as careful as possible, considering all the Stickeys we get about these issues

[SAMLEXIS FAN]

I have gotten in trouble in the past for not putting a spoiler tag in the past for post like these. Some posters might not know about the interview I guess. Or the post might have spoilers in the comments.

Unless I misunderstood the warning

Yeah, the interview with Michael Fairman & Cynthia Watros does contain spoilers so, yeah, a spoiler tag is needed.

[xoregonian]

I for one haven't read the interview and there's no link here, so that's why this isn't a spoiler of any kind. Just speculation and a mention of an interview.

Nina's yet-unseen redemption is not exactly spoiler info.

[QStan0710]

I have no idea, when it's going to happen. All I know is that I'm expecting the worse case scenario, and for it to be dragged out, until November, or even February Sweeps.

[catster]

I hope Carly does the same thing Nina did and say nothing..

[seanny]

Nina did try to tell Carly that Sonny was alive though.

[OLTLBoomer]

Nina tries to go many things, then falls back. The old saying, "the raod to H*ll is paved iwth good intentions.".

[catster]

LOL she didn't try very hard did she? LOL

[mamafenocchi]

OP, not sure why Carly has to suffer any consequences? Nina didn't suffer any consequences for what she did in Nixon Falls. As a matter of fact, Nina was enabled by her friends and family, awarded the man she lied to manipulated for 6 months, and now she's being awarded another daughter. Carly lost her husband, the family unit for little Donna because now she's from a broken home, and she lost her best friend Jason. Carly doesn't need to suffer any consequences

[SAMLEXIS FAN]

Nina doesn't need to suffer any consequences. Carly is the one who started the war with Nina. And now she's going to stab Willow in the back as well. Carly never learns from her mistakes. She keeps making bad decisions which eventually blows up in her face.

[Lisa58]

mamafenocchi I totally agree with you. Carly has not have any consequences to suffer for On the other hand Nina was a pass by her family and friend. Carly and ALL of her and Sonny's family..including the small children grieved and suffered needlessly because of Nina. How anyone could say "giving Nina a pass is O.K. while Nina left little children without a father and grandfather is beyond me. Especially with Nina saying and talking about how poor little Wiley should have all the

Then Nina continued her pursuit of Sonny and when the 1st opportunity presented itself...in the bed jumped Nina with Sonny....no thoughts of the family she was breaking up and the little children that were going to still bei without a the daddy that they once knew and loved because Nina had the "hots" for Sonny and even because she wanted to get back at Carly. Totally sick, but then most of us know that Nina is sick. Carly knew right then and there that Sonny was not sincere when he said that Nina was "only" someone that he was nice to and that he really wanted Carly. Carly, unlike Nina won't crawl on her knees going after a man that repeatedly says that he doesn't want her and that she is only a friend knowing that if Carly snapped her fingers, Nina would still be stalking Sonny. Carly didn't lose Sonny, she kicked him to the curb after seeing how weak and pitiful he had become. What woman, under those circumstances would stay with someone like that? Someone with no self respect and someone without a functioning brain.

Carly did not "start a war" with Nina. Nell was already dead and Nina would have accused Carly of purposely pushing Nell of the edge of the cliff. Nina kind has right now. Nina is mistakenly laying Nell's death at Carly's feet. So Carly was right on the money. It was self preservation. Carly couldn't do anything for Nell but Nina would never have accepted that because Nina lives in "Never Never Land" The land where Nina makes up a story and it becomes fact. Then Nina becomes a hound dog and stays on the trail until she gets her revenge and she realizes that the revenge isn't enough so she schemes for another revenge plot. That is all that woman is good for, gross exaggerations of supposed wrongs done to her, manipulating people, playing innocent and being the victim, is the one who started the war with Nina. Sometimes "in a war" the aggressor claims to be the "victim" and that is Nina. Carly is trying to protect Willow now. Willow was just blindsided and hit with devastating and shocking news, knowing that if what Harmony told Carly is true....that might just destroy Willow at this time. I mean really, it's like someone telling you that "the devil" is your mother. In Willow's state of mind...that is kind of how she'll see it. Carly is being cautious. I don't know what she'll do but either way Willow will be devastated and maybe if Willowhas time to recover from Harmony's death and the fact that she isn't her mother, she'll be stronger..... but then Carly will be blamed for holding out. Another impossible situation.

[catster]

Exactly. Carly has already lost enough.. time for that hag Nina to take a loss. I hope she is completely vile to Willow and there is no return.

[ScrubsFan#1]

There is NO redemption for Nina - because she hasn't suffered ANY consequences for NF or destroying Sonny's family. In fact she's going after them AGAIN full force - and can't see where she's doing ANYTHING wrong.

There is NO contrived - BS - plot driven garbage that can salvage this almost two year long nightmare.

[TalonSun]

It's not that Nina and Willow "aren't seeing eye to eye" it's that Nina is spiteful and hateful and selfish. And I don't care who thinks Carly has been the same way because it's irrelevant to what I'm saying. Even Harmony saw how absolutely destructive Nina's "love" is. I just hope that the writers finally have Nina's actions cost her something big. I feel like they've given the character a weird and counterproductive immunity to consequences. I want to like the character again but I loathe her now.

[ScrubsFan#1]

Why on earth would Willow have ANY respect for her ABUSER and her BULLY???????

Nina treats Willow like something that she stepped in and is trying to scrape off the bottom of her shoe.

And THAT has absolutely NOTHING to do with what happened to Alexis and Sam - or Carly/Bobbie thirty years ago.

Willow is NOT obligated in ANY way to continue to be Nina's punching bag - or turn the other cheek over and over again - just because of some DNA test.

She does NOT have to tolerate being treated like that anymore.

She needs to stand up for herself - and tell that lunatic exactly where to go.

Willow already has TRUE friends that GENUINELY love, respect, and care for her.

[catster]

Willow has no reason to ever accept Nina. After all the vile things she has done and I bet she is going to say really vile things to Willow in the near future..

[CeciliaChase]

I like Nina, she doesn't need to be "redeemed" for me. I mean, Carly certainly never has been. Sonny hasn't been! I think it really all depends on whether or not you like the character. I enjoy Cynthia's performance, and the story is soapy. What she did doesn't bother me at all.

[TVDfan]

@SAMLEXIS FAN
So would you like for the reveal to happen now in order to see everyone’s reaction or would you rather for the reveal to take its time in order for the damage to be greater?

[SAMLEXIS FAN]

TVDfan I'm torn about it. I'm undecided if I want the reveal to happen sooner...like next week during Wiley's court battle. Or to wait until Willow's medical crisis where Carly is forced to reveal the truth. A part of me wants the damage to be greater & for it all to blow up in Carly's face.

[TalonSun]

My prediction is that the reveal will come on the heels of whatever horrible things Nina is gearing up to do to Willow. Nina will flail around in her desperation and sense of grievance until she ruins any possibility of a relationship with Willow for quite some time. Then the reveal.
Then I want to see some actual love and understanding from Nina. Not selfish grasping. I would enjoy being on Nina's side again.

[GH Resident]

Respectfully disagree that Carley doesn't have anything to be redeemed from. She came on the show to destroy her mother's marriage, cheated on nearly every man She's been with, hired Brooklyn to drug and seduce Dante, chose Sonny over Michael when he shot AJ.... just to cite a FEW of the many things she has never been "redeemed " from. Not saying that Nina is right either. Just that Carley is throwing stones in a glass house. It's not about who deserves redemption, who was right or wrong, because the story will always shift and change with time. Heros become villains and back to heroes. I'm just here for the show.

[TVDfan]

OP, not sure why Carly has to suffer any consequences? Nina didn't suffer any consequences for what she did in Nixon Falls. As a matter of fact, Nina was enabled by her friends and family, awarded the man she lied to manipulated for 6 months, and now she's being awarded another daughter. Carly lost her husband, the family unit for little Donna because now she's from a broken home, and she lost her best friend Jason. Carly doesn't need to suffer any consequences

I think the main difference is that Nina omitted to Sonny’s family and was enable by family and friends. She was not close to any of the people she was lying to begin with. If Carly lies yes she is lying to Nina, but she is also lying to Drew, Willow, Michael and Bobby I hear is also being added to the secret.

I don’t think Carly is seeing the difference on her lie and Nina’s lie either her anger is blinding her.
