General Hospital spoilers gush an unlikely alliance is brewing between Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright).

Nina has proposed a plan to unite forces with Carly, aiming to dismantle the relationship between Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) and Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison). Their goal?

To protect their shared grandchildren by any means necessary — even if it means tearing Willow and Drew apart.

Does Nina have ulterior motives? Likely, but Carly isn’t privy to those, despite knowing that she shouldn’t trust her. Is she going to partner up with her anyway? It seems so.

Carly Commits Against Her Own Better Judgement

During a tense and revealing conversation, Nina laid out her intentions to Carly, emphasizing the importance of their family’s welfare.

Nina was seemingly clear about her motives — she believes that Willow and Drew’s relationship could be detrimental to the grandchildren they both love.

She also preyed on what she assumed must be Carly’s primary concern — Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) — by highlighting the many ways Drew is trying to take his place in the kids’ lives.

However, Carly showed skepticism towards this collaboration, her history with Nina being one of rivalry rather than alliance. Despite Carly’s reservations, Nina’s persuasive argument about family unity seems to have struck a chord.

This May Affect More Than Just Willow

Nevertheless, the two have decided to join forces, at least for now. Nina revealed she could gain access to Drew’s new house, suggesting they use this to their advantage. The plan?

Possibly to plant evidence that would suggest Drew is cheating on Willow. By fabricating a scenario where Drew appears unfaithful, they aim to force Willow into a position where she must leave him, thereby protecting the grandchildren from what they perceive as an unstable situation.

This could involve anything from leaving a woman’s clothing item or a suspicious note, to staging a compromising situation.

Will their plan end up ruining more than his union with Willow and possibly taking down his career in politics before it takes flight?

Drew Reacts, as Does Willow

The fallout from such a deception could be explosive. If Drew discovers he’s been framed, his response would likely be swift and calculated. We know he wouldn’t wait one minute to blow the whistle and accuse Nina and Carly of setting him up, either.

The question then becomes whether he can prove this to Willow in time to salvage their relationship?

Should Willow learn of Nina and Carly’s machinations, she might feel betrayed by both her mother and her mother-in-law, potentially driving her closer to Drew in solidarity against their deceit.

On the flip side, the shock of the betrayal might push Willow to break ties with Drew, leading her to regret her decision to leave Michael long enough to allow herself to feel the love she clearly still has for him.
