General Hospital has brought back Ryan Paevy to Port Charles, and it has raised some questions among fans, including how Nathan and Nina are related. Though they do not share the same parents, Nina refers to Nathan as her brother. This has created some confusion that can only be clarified by examining the extensive history of the two, which has come with many twists.
Here is a breakdown of Nina and Nathan’s relationship, a complicated history marked by twists.
Nathan West and Nina Reeves’ relationship on General Hospital explained
Nathan originally arrived in Port Charles to investigate the murder of Nina Reeves. Both Nina and Nathan were raised by Madeline Reeves. But it turned out that Madeline had given Nina a fatal overdose. In a shocking turn, the show revealed that Nina was alive and in a coma. After she woke up, Nathan reunited with her.
In 2014, Nathan met Britt and the two got flirty. But Nathan soon found out that Madeline was not his biological mother. Instead, Madeline was his aunt. His real mother was Madeline’s sister, Liesl Obrecht. This also meant that Britt was his sister. In 2018, it was revealed that his real father was Cesar Faison, one of the most infamous villains in General Hospital.
So, biologically, Nina and Nathan are cousins. But given their shared upbringing under Madeline, the two are nothing less than siblings. The two continued to consider each other siblings even after they found out about their real blood ties, primarily because Madeline had raised them that way.
Nathan and Nina share a complicated and twisted past in General Hospital. Now that Nathan is back, there may be more such drama in the present too.
There could be big twists in the upcoming episodes of General Hospital. Stay tuned.
