Nina is or will be in a tough spot

[TVDfan]

I believe not because of rumors or spoilers just on my gut that Nelle is alive.

Nina will be in a difficult spot of mediating or being protective of one over the other.

On one hand she will have Nelle that always plays the victim and in the other she will have Willow who was unwilling to lie for her own benefit.

I have not seen rumors of Nelle returning, but one poster speculated that Nelle will return, hate Willow and try to kill her and Nina will kill Nelle to protect Willow. That sounds like a good story to me!

[Kristabell]

I agree! And I think it's possible Valentin or Victor have her stashed away somewhere recovering and faked her death by proving a cadaver that matched Nelle's features, description and medical issues!

[TVDfan]

I don’t think Valentine would do that to Nina.

Victor on the other hand yes. Nelle was parading around that she had married Shiloh that she had ELQ. Spinelli then lied to Peter that Nelle had a lot of secrets that Shiloh had told her and was willing to talk. I can see Victor keeping her locked up just in case if those secrets involved him.

I have not seen rumors or spoilers either.

CL is actually pretty busy doing other things.

I did see a bit of post on her part on October and November that could have been interpreted as behind the scenes, but she would have been seen on screen by now if that was the case.

CL is just keeps in touch with the cast.

If Nelle returns, shouldn’t she be in prison? She kidnapped Wiley and slashed Brook Lynn’s throat.

I think Nelle is alive too, but since Chloe Lanier is busy at the moment, It may be a recast. I do get the gut feeling that Nina will find out Nelle's alive first, before she finds out Willow is her other daughter.

Nelle has been mentioned a lot lately. I take it as a sign a return is looming which I'm totally onboard with. I would love for Nelle to return from the "dead" & find out Nina is her mother & Willow is her twin sister. LOL!

I'm sure the writers will find a way around that. Perhaps Nelle could get community service. Nina does have the resources to hire the best attorney for Nelle.

ScrubsFan#1 How long was Sonny in prison for murdering AJ? One month? Two months? Three months? I took a break from the show back then but I'm guessing he wasn't in there that long. So I'm guessing the writers are going to go the same route with Nelle or have her avoid prison time altogether....whatever fits with the storyline.

SAMLEXIS FAN Sonny was pardoned by the Governer of New York because Sonny saved his daughter (and the rest of the people on the boat) which the Gov. had push back from his voters and had to step down or wasn't re-elected because of that decision. It was an extreme action of Sonny's that he was granted his freedom. Nelle has never had one kind action for anyone so I don't see her getting a pardon, I mean it was stupid when Sonny got a pardon. Nelly getting one is in fantasy land.

[SAMLEXIS FAN]

BlindLiberty If the writers want to go the route of a pardon with Nelle just like they did with Sonny, it's going to happen. Sonny gets away with committing crimes left & right in all the years of being a mobster. I'm perfectly fine with Nelle getting away with hers as well.
