Nina Cortlandt

Nina was stressed by their move to Pine Valley and neglected her diabetic treatment regimen.

At a party hosted in honor of the Cortlandts at the Tyler Estate, Nina fainted and was rushed to the hospital with acute appendicitis.

Palmer considered Cliff unworthy of his precious daughter and was jealous of Nina’s love for him.

Palmer threw Nina a lavish 18th birthday party at Cortlandt Manor, with all Pine Valley’s elite society as guests.

Palmer sensed Daisy’s presence, pursued her to the stables and tried to flush her from hiding with his doberman guard dogs.

When Nina was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy he lied and told her no treatment could stop her from going blind.

Sean and Brooke English's efforts helped foil the robbery and save Nina’s life.

Nina became friends with the “new stable hand” Monique Jonvil, who was of course her disguised mother, and Brooke English.

Nina and Cliff married in a lavish horse-and-carriage ceremony on the grounds of Cortland Manor with her best friends Brooke and Monique in her bridal party.

Married bliss was disrupted when Nurse Sybil Thorne revealed she was pregnant from Cliff’s drunken one night stand with her.

Heartbroken, betrayed and angry, Nina fled back to Cortlandt Manor and filed for divorce.

Nina believed she stood no chance for happiness while Sybil held her unborn child as a bargaining chip.

Nina stood up and fainted in the center aisle, shocked to know her mother had been alive all those years.

Nina rejected her father and hoped to build a relationship with the mother he had exiled from her life.

When Palmer went missing in Center City, Nina realized she could not cut her father from her life forever.

At the end of the year, Nina reconciled with Cliff, called off the divorce, and they formally adopted Bobby.

While her father was away on his honeymoon with the much younger Donna Beck, Nina got a frantic call from the Cortlandt Electronics Board of Directors.

When Palmer returned, he recognized his daughter's acumen for business and gave her an executive position in his company.

As much as Nina wanted to keep her relationship with Steve strictly business, things spiraled out of control.

A storm hit Pine Valley while Steve and Nina were working at Cortlandt Manor.

Cliff went by his apartment one day to speak to Nina only to discover the lovers in a passionate embrace.

Cliff’s antagonism and resentment vanished when he believed that Nina had been killed in a helicopter crash.

Zach drugged and raped Nina, while Cliff's sister, Linda Warner, took photos.

Nina was shocked when Daisy was discovered in Zach's apartment, standing over his dead body with a bloody knife.

The strain on her mother, and the seeming end of her hopes for a future with Cliff, damaged Nina's psyche.

Waiting for her train to take her back to Pine Valley, Nina was plagued with thoughts of Cliff, but she was not about to break up an engagement.

That Christmas, in front of family and friends, Nina and Cliff married for the third time at the Tavern on the Green in New York City.

Nina anxiously awaited Cliff's return from a humanitarian mission in Hong Kong.

Nina and Cliff married for the fourth and final time on the Cortlandt Manor grounds.

Upon learning that Bobby had impregnated Kesley Jefferson, Nina comes back to Pine Valley.
