Will Nina target Michael to silence him?

[Maxum]

Let me start by saying I like the character of Nina. She is a good soap character, and the actress is great. Nina has some major issues, but she's a character that can be horrible to some and then wonderful to others. So if Sonny can do it and be beloved, I feel Nina can too. As you know, I'm outspoken that Nina has gotten away completely for what she did to Michael and Carly, and so I'm glad that they have not forgiven Nina. It just makes sense to me - which brings me to the point of the post.

Why would the writers have Martin tell Michael about Nina's emotional state when she's pushed to lose everything? Why bring up something from her past that hasn't been mentioned in years - that Nina can be very dangerous and unstable when she's cornered? I'm wondering if Nina will do something to Michael (imprison him, isolates him) to prevent him from keeping Willow and the kids from her. I do not think Nina will kill Michael or anything like that because the character can't come back from something like that, but I can see a situation where Nina needs to remove Michael to gain access to Willow and her grandchildren unimpeded.

Many feel the reveal has been a disappointment. If Michael keeping Nina from her daughter and grandchildren pushes her over the edge, then you have this enormous umbrella story where Michael is missing or imprisoned and trying to get free (with Nina finally in a position of power) AND the secret that Nina is the person who called the SEC remains. It would be this huge time bomb. Also, you can save the character of Nina by showing her having a true nervous breakdown where maybe even Michael sympathizes that she's not well rather than evil.

I don't know. I just feel like Martin's conversation with Michael about Nina being unhinged when cornered was for a reason. I think it's going to build until Nina has to take action against Michael, and since she's not well when cornered - think about what lengths she went to to keep Sonny's existence secret - there's no saying what she might do.

I sincerely hope not, because I really think that both Michael and Nina need to confess to Sonny and Willow. The truth about the SEC tipster, would be better coming from them then someone else.

No, targeting enemies is a Corinthos specialty.

[sesca]

Manninglover87 I disagree about Nina targeting anyone. But nothing she has ever done holds a candle to what the Corinthos cult has done including Michael.

[tabbycat46]

Manninglover87, I totally agree with you. From the minute Michelle Stafford's Nina wheeled herself into PC, she has been targetting people who have wronged her. Why should Michael or whoever ultimately outs her, be any different. There was a reason why Martin felt the need to remind Michael of what Nina is capable of.

[Manninglover87]

sesca Nina literally came to town to hurt Silas, Sam, Ava, and Kiki, and only two of those people actually did anything to her. And her quest for revenge resulted in the death of a teenage boy. And that’s merely one incident out of many that has Nina has caused as a result of her desire for revenge. I have yet to see Michael do anything that has caused that kind of damage.

[Salter]

No. Nina is happy and content with her beautiful new life, hotel, company, husband, daughter and grandchildren

[Bellajewels]

By her beautiful new life do you mean Carly's old life?

[CincyLady]

Bellajewels - Yes, like Carly's beautiful new life that was somebody else's old life. Several somebody else's.

[JJ1]

Nina is Willow's mother and Wiley and Amelia's grandmother. That has nothing to do with Carly. Nina currently has Sonny who Carly could have had back. She has half of the metro court because Carly had to sell it. Nina bought it. Nina in no way shape or form has Carly's life. Carly kept her whole family other than Sonny.

[DayRose]

No, targeting enemies is a Corinthos specialty.

It's also a nina specialty since she's been targeting Carly for revenge for years.

[DayRose]

I believe there was a reason Martin spoke about nina being unstable. I'm just not sure if it's to cover his own butt or protect Michael and his family.

[Maxiegirl]

Yeah that's why there is a possibility that Nina could target Michael in such a way. It would be very soapy.

[Maxum]

Maxie - that’s exactly what I was thinking. It’s a very soapy thing to do.

[Clementine15]

l think it will happen. Don't know what, but that is where the greatest drama lies...

Reformed and stable Nina is only a thin veneer, imo-- as long as she is getting what she wants, the seriously troubled person who will do anything stays hidden

[tabbycat46]

CincyLady, yes and I definitely think that TPTB are going to tap into CW's ability to do just that.

[Maxiegirl]

Yes, didn't CW play another character as a psycho? Why not have Nina go bonkers again?

[tabbycat46]

Maxiegirl, yes she played crazy Annie Dutton on Guiding Light. She also played someone on Y&R but I don't remember if that character was psycho or not.

[Maxiegirl]

Well, that would make the story line more interesting and more soapy if Nina had Michael kidnapped and isolated somewhere. But she would really need to be absolutely frazzled and cornered to go to that extreme. I'm not sure she's there yet. Plus thinking about that, if she did that, then if she were caught and it was revealed it was her that did it, wouldn't Sonny and Willow be even more pissed off at her as a result. So I can't see this happening unless it became an even more extreme situation. Nina would have to be extremely unstable to do that. But Martin's mentioning of Nina with Ava/Avery must have been made for a reason. I'm just not sure where the writers are going with this story line.

But I'm all for some crazy soapy drama like Nina doing that to Michael.

I'm neither a Nina fan nor a Michael fan.

[FleurdiLisa]

How frazzled and cornered did she have to be to think that she could get away with hiding Sonny in Nixon Falls forever? That "mental break" should have had her enablers insisting that she check herself into Shadybrook instead of brushing it off as though she had merely forgotten lunch plans.

[Maxum]

Maxie - depending upon how the break actually happens for Nina, you can have Willow feeling empathy for her because maybe she literally just fell apart at the loss of her family. As long as she doesn’t harm, Michael, I think there’s a way back for her. I mean, if the other characters on GH can be forgiven for the crazy crap, they’ve pulled, Nina can absolutely be forgiven for going after Michael - again, as long as she doesn’t try to kill him. I just think it would be interesting for both characters.

[hawkgirl]

I could totally seeing Nina doing that, to het the upper hand. I wish this whole s/l would just go away.

[CincyLady]

If this sl goes away there would be pretty much no sl. The writers have used and abused Nina/Sonny/Carly for years now.

[FleurdiLisa]

I keep saying there's a knife in Nina's office that Liesl gave to Nina to protect herself from the hook killer....

[Maxiegirl]

Nina stabs Michael with the knife. Then he's in a coma. Then he wakes up with amnesia.

All in time for Halloween.

[SAMLEXIS FAN]

I don't see Nina hurting Michael to silence him. She might find out he was working with Dex to send Sonny to prison & turn the tables on him.

[1sbkmcfan]

I don't think she will target Michael. The show seems to prefer Nina looking scared of being found out about something or other at all times and Michael huffing and puffing about something or other at all times.

[Maxiegirl]

If Nina did target Michael it would make the story more dramatic and interesting to watch!

[DayRose]

I don't see Nina hurting Michael to silence him. She might find out he was working with Dex to send Sonny to prison & turn the tables on him.

Sonny won't care what Michael did. Having access to Michael, Willow, Wiley and Amelia is more important to the new Sonny. Michael already told Sonny he was going to get revenge so it won't surprise Sonny. Michael never used the information. That's what Sonny will appreciate.

[tabbycat46]

DayRose, There is also no proof because AFAIK Carly destroyed the flash drive and she/Michael both agreed to hire Dex in order to PROTECT Sonny. So it is all moot.

[SAMLEXIS FAN]

It remains to be seen if Sonny would care or not. We don't know how he would react to the news because it hasn't played out. I don't recall Michael telling Sonny he was going to get revenge on him. Sonny wouldn't want Dex working for him knowing he was working with Michael to send him to prison; he would no longer be able to trust him after that so we'll have to agree to disagree.

[AMichelle]

Sonny won't like it, but he'll understand why Michael tried to set him up and once he finds out that Carly and Michael has Dex protecting him, he'll be very forgiven.
