1994 (#16) - Flo's reticence about Nina's paternity and vain hopes about Jed

Having overcome the pain of the miscarriage thanks to the unconditional love of Ryan, with whom she lives a happy and peaceful married life, Nina soon realizes that she feels a great void in her life due to the lack of a father figure. The woman, therefore, returns to insistently ask her mother for information about her father, more determined than ever to search for the man. Flo, however, besides being as reluctant as ever to talk about him, admits once again that she has no idea who the man with whom she conceived her daughter might be, since she was a prostitute at the time. However, under Nina's constant pressure, she admits that she has well-founded suspicions about a man, whose name she does not remember, who had an obvious scar on his neck. This detail immediately comes back to Nina's mind when she comes across a building contractor named Jed Sanders, who, in addition to being of an age compatible with Flo's description, has an obvious scar on his neck. A hopeful Nina, thus, confesses to Ryan her hopes that her search is finally over and that Jed may be her father. Without informing either her mother or the man of her convictions, Nina organizes a family lunch to which she also invites Jed. Nina asks her mother, who is convinced that her daughter is tired of being alone and wants to find him a man to live with, if Jed is her father; however, Nina's hopes are dashed when Flo admits that she has never met Jed before and that he is definitely not her father, having a scar on the wrong side of his neck. It is Ryan, thus, who consoles Nina, trying to distract her from her frantic search for a father she will probably never meet.

1994 (#14) - The pain of the abortion and the wedding between Ryan and Nina

Deeply shaken by the news that he is going to become a father, Ryan is going through a great moment of confusion and uncertainty about his life, what he really wants and the decision he has to make. On the one hand there is Victoria, his temptation and perhaps his one great love, but she is now a married woman; on the other hand there is Nina, the great affection and the duty of responsibility towards what is about to become his family. In the end, after a few days of reflection, Ryan makes his decision and decides to take Nina to the altar who, at the moment of the proposal, accepts enthusiastically with great joy. However, Nina cannot forget and ignore the reality of the facts, that Ryan does not love her at all compared to how much she loves him. The woman thus thanks the man admitting that she knows the situation of his real feelings, and that she will do anything to make him fall in love with her. Nina's good intentions and optimism, however, collapse when, after fainting, Dr. Deborah Heming informs her that she has been forced into a miscarriage. Nina is desperate and inconsolable; around her are her mother Flo and Ryan himself, to whom Nina confesses that she considers him free to leave and get out of her life, not wanting to keep him prisoner in a relationship he doesn't feel. Ryan, however, from this episode discovered emotions and feelings he had never felt before, realizing that he truly loves Nina. Dispelling the woman's fears of losing him, Ryan confirms his desire to marry Nina and create a family together around little Chance. Soon, the two get married declaring their love for each other to the happiness of all the guests and, in particular, of Nina's mother, Flo.

1994 (#12) - Ryan's remorse for Victoria and Nina's pregnancy

With the distance created by their misunderstandings and the latter's decision to pose nude, Cole and Victoria the two begin to distance themselves more and more. In fact, Cole continues to dedicate long hours to the writing of his new novel, while Victoria turns her gaze back to Ryan. The latter, who has been living with Nina for some time now, seems to have almost regretted the decision, feeling as if imprisoned in a situation he didn't want, and with responsibilities, Chance first of all, that he never really accepted to take on. This explains Ryan's happiness in reestablishing an initial relationship, albeit one of friendship, with Victoria. The two of them spend a lot of time together, especially remembering their happiest moments; and all this under the sad and disappointed eyes of Nina, who on one hand doesn't have much time to dedicate to Ryan because of the completion of her studies, and on the other hand, has always known that she, for Ryan, was a second choice. Determined to leave Ryan free to make a decision about their future, and with him now almost convinced to stop living with Nina to try to win back Victoria, to upset the plans of all is, as always, the fate. Nina, in fact, learns to her great surprise and joy to be pregnant and, therefore, to expect a child by Ryan. The news completely upsets the boy's prospects and he decides to sever his relationship with Victoria, who reconciles with Cole, and to dedicate himself exclusively to Nina and the baby.

1993 (#24) - Chance's needs and the coexistence between Ryan and Nina

With the divorce between Ryan and Victoria officially finalized, Nina is finally free to come out of the closet and express her feelings towards the man. On the other hand, no one accuses her of being a family wrecker, the marriage between Ryan and Victoria being considered by everyone as a mistake, especially by Victor, happy to have Ryan out of his daughter's life. The relationship between Ryan and Nina, however, does not develop and evolve as Nina had hoped. Ryan, in fact, does not seem at all interested in re-engaging with a woman and starting a serious relationship; nor does he have the slightest intention of diving back into a new marriage as Nina had hoped. Nina is disappointed when Ryan confesses to her that, although he feels a great attraction towards her, he is not yet ready to commit himself; and so, Nina begins to think that she has made a big mistake in thinking that Ryan could be the right man with whom to start a new life and raise little Chance. Particularly worried about Nina's condition, forced to raise a child on her own who would have a great need for a father figure, is Jill who would welcome a possible marriage with Ryan. The woman promises Nina all her support to convince Ryan to get closer to the woman; and thanks to Jill's convincing methods, the man, who has feelings for Nina, finally agrees to give her a try at married life, proposing to the woman a cohabitation to be considered as a sort of experiment. Nina happily accepts this sort of challenge, confident that she can convince Ryan to marry her soon. As time goes by, the feeling between Nina and Ryan grows much more than a simple physical attraction, and the two end up falling in love more and more under the satisfied eyes of Jill, happy to notice Ryan's excellent qualities as Chance's father, with whom she becomes very attached and establishes a more and more solid relationship.

1992 (#30) - Victoria's therapies and the unresolved conflict between Nina and Flo

The marriage between Victoria and Ryan, meanwhile, creates much more problems than the girl would have ever suspected. On the one hand there is Ryan who would like to finally consummate the marriage and make love to the girl, but he doesn't feel ready yet; on the other hand there is Victor, still in the dark about what happened between Victoria and Ryan, who presses more and more to prevent his daughter from meeting the boy. Feeling that she can't make her husband happy, and afraid that at any moment he might leave her to go back to Nina, Victoria confesses to Ryan that she doesn't want to keep him imprisoned in a marriage he doesn't want and informs him that, if he wants, he is free to go back to Nina. Ryan, however, proving once again to be in love with the girl, confirms his love for her and is willing to wait. Victoria, overjoyed, promises Ryan to start following a therapy with a sexologist, so that he can help to unblock himself. Victor, meanwhile, putting aside his plan to introduce Brandon to Victoria, is increasingly worried about his daughter, especially when he discovers that she is undergoing therapy with a sexologist. The news also alarms Nikki, who finds herself in agreement with Victor about the need to get Ryan out of Victoria's life as soon as possible. Nina, meanwhile, seems to have resigned herself to having lost Ryan. The woman, who has stopped seeing Brandon, is experiencing a moment of strong emotional instability that leads her to dig deep into her problems, and this inner search leads her to realize that, unlike Victoria, she has never had a strong father figure who is able to guide her; moreover, she has never known her real father. Determined to find out more about her past, Nina turns to Paul to investigate the identity of her father. The search, however, does not bring any results, since Flo herself admits that she does not know who Nina's father is, confessing that she got pregnant by one of her many clients. Between Nina and Flo, then, emerges a great conflict never faced and resolved concerning the mother's job as a prostitute; a job that has not allowed the girl to grow up in a normal family. Flo asks her daughter's forgiveness for all her shortcomings, and in the end the girl resigns herself to the idea that she will probably never know her father, clinging around the only thing she has left, her mother, and promising not to make Flo's mistakes. Nina, thus, promises herself that Chance will be luckier than her, wanting at all costs to give him the chance to grow up with a father in a normal and loving family.

1991 (#21) - Flo's return, her marriage to Jim and David's new identity

It has been a few months now since David was pronounced dead, and Nina has now moved on with her life, intent on raising little Chance along with Katherine's care immersed in the comfort and beauty of the Chancellor estate. Although there are no men in her life, Nina is happy with her peace of mind and the happiness she has achieved thanks to Katherine and her love for her son. Her tranquility, however, is abruptly disturbed when she receives a call from her mother, Flo, who informs her that she is moving to Genoa City intending to start a new life and is eager to show her daughter the changes she has made and her commitment to improving day by day. Nina is skeptical to believe that her mother has put aside alcohol and clients; however, she is genuinely impressed to see her mother in a new and sober guise. Katherine is delighted to meet the woman and decides to host her at her place to be near her daughter and Chance. Flo, however, surprises everyone by informing Nina that she already has a house in Genoa City, since she is living with her new man whom she will soon marry: Jim Adams. Nina is shocked to learn that her mother has found a man, and even more shocked to learn that they will soon be married. Flo introduces Jim to Nina and Katherine, who, however, can't even imagine the truth, that Jim is none other than David, evidently restored by a second operation, as well as by a dye job on the hair and moustache he has grown. David in fact, having put aside his affair with Diane, is back on track to finish his job left half done, that is to take the Chancellors' money and kill Nina and Katherine. Obviously, all this is not suspected by Flo, who is hopelessly in love with the man who has suddenly fallen into her life and who has overwhelmed her with romance and love; and Nina doesn't suspect it either, given the great understanding she has with Jim. On the day of Flo and Jim's wedding, therefore, everyone is excited to celebrate this new union. But if David has changed aesthetically, he certainly hasn't changed in his character nor in his intentions; and with these, his manipulative abilities have remained intact, since in a short time he manages to convince Nina to include him and Flo among the co-beneficiaries of her wealth and that of Chance, at his death. David's plans are finally about to come true.

1991 (#9) - The meeting with Flo, the trial for attempted murder and Nina's acquittal

When the police and doctors arrive at Nina and David's house, the scenario that unfolds before their eyes is shocking. David is lying on the ground in a pool of blood, under the petrified eyes of Nina, who is still holding the gun. David is rushed to the hospital, while Nina is taken to the police station for questioning and charged by prosecutor Glenn Richards for attempted murder. Katherine and Jill rush to the police station, where they obtain the woman's immediate release on bail pending the trial. Nina doesn't say a word and decides to remain silent despite Jill and Katherine's questions, shocked by what has happened but inside happy to have finally closed this dangerous chapter of their lives. Both try to console Nina, assuring her that they are convinced she will be acquitted since it was self-defense, and they set about contacting their lawyers. Nina, however, is more confused than ever, and upon hearing the news that David is still alive, she instinctively takes Chance and decides to leave. Leaving the city, the woman goes with little Chance to his mother, Flo, in search of help. Flo is astonished but at the same time happy to see Nina again after all these years, who doesn't mention anything about what happened. From Nina's cold attitude, it soon becomes clear that she never had much of a relationship with her mother, and it doesn't take long to understand why, as Nina soon realizes that Flo has never changed in all these years; her mother, in fact, still continues to drink and work as a prostitute. Meanwhile, Jill, Katherine and Christine panic when they can't find Chance or Nina. Realizing that the woman has escaped, Christine sets out on her trail and, suspecting that she may have gone to her mother's, runs to her. Flo, meanwhile, is displeased by Nina's sudden decision to leave; her repeated promises to change her life are obviously not believed by Nina, who feels trapped and does not want to raise Chance in that environment. Determined to escape to Mexico to start a new life and in search of safety, Nina is tracked down by Christine just as she is about to get back in the car. Christine eventually manages to convince Nina to do the right thing, certain that in the end her innocence will come out despite all the trouble she has gotten into. Back in town, Nina is then taken to jail to await her trial, where she testifies that she shot in self-defense and makes a heartfelt plea to be given the chance to raise her son. The hard work of Katherine's lawyer, Rick Dooley, who point by point pitted David's criminal life, eventually convinces the jurors of David's dangerousness and evil intentions, thus acquitting Nina, found not guilty, who explodes from joy and happiness along with Christine, Jill and Katherine.

1991 (#4) - The discovery of the lies, Nina's shock and the shooting with David

Despite all of David's manipulations, Nina is still unaware of her husband's real intentions and, more in love with him than ever, is more and more determined to continue her marriage. The constant warnings of Christine, Danny, Katherine and Jill, however, slowly begin to break through her mind, and she begins to be suspicious of David. Arriving at David's office to surprise her, Nina, not finding the man who in the meantime is in the company of his lover Diane, begins to rummage through his papers. The woman is shocked by what she finds, or rather what she doesn't find: no documents, no papers referring to David's supposed investment company. It was all a farce. When she hears David arrive at the office in the company of his mistress, Nina then hides in a closet and is shocked to hear from her husband about his plans to take possession of the entire Chancellor fortune, if necessary even killing Nina and Chance, and run away with the money in the company of Diane far from the city. Nina, in a panic, manages to get out of the office unnoticed. Meanwhile, Christine finds out about David's affair with Diane and runs to tell Nina, finding the woman at home completely distraught and grief-stricken. Christine is happy that the woman has finally opened her eyes to the man and, before leaving her alone to think, promises to help her get rid of David. Christine, however, does not suspect the seriousness of the state of shock in which Nina has fallen. Blinded by anger and feeling betrayed, she waits for her husband's return to take her revenge. And so, when David returns home, Nina welcomes him, warning him that she has understood everything and shooting him with five shots from her newly purchased gun

1990 (#15) - Jill's doubts, threats to Christine, Nina and David's marriage

With Danny's return from his recent concert tour, the relationship between the man and Christine becomes more and more solid, to the point that neither of them can now imagine their lives without the other. The two begin to make plans to spend the rest of their lives together. During this time, Christine is living in her apartment with Nina, having been kicked out of her estate by Katherine because of her dating David. Neither Katherine nor Jill, in fact, approve of Nina's relationship with the charming but in many ways obscure David, convinced that the man only plans to take advantage of Nina's huge inheritance who, after Phillip's death, has become the one designated to take control of the Chancellor's immense estate. When David surprisingly proposes to Nina to become his wife, she accepts enthusiastically, convinced of his sincere feelings. Christine, however, seems to have the same doubts as Jill about the man, who shows a very violent aspect of himself when he intimates to the woman not to meddle in his affairs if he doesn't want to see his beautiful face ruined, which would obviously prevent him from working at Jabot. Christine, scandalized by the threat, takes David's words seriously and, very worried, runs to confide everything to Jill who, worried that David could become dangerous for her and especially for little Chance, orders him to leave Nina's life. Nina, however, blinded by her love for David, refuses to heed all of Jill, Danny and Christione's warnings, and is even annoyed by their meddling. In an effort to convince everyone, especially Jill, of the genuineness of his feelings for Nina, David signs a prenuptial agreement in which he agrees to renounce all of Nina's possessions, which are otherwise endangered by Katherine's, aka Marge's, sale of her empire. The two of them, shortly after, get married, even if very few people want to celebrate. What is worse, is that David, some time later, convinces Nina to tear up their prenuptial agreement, in exchange for a beautiful golden brooch.

1989 (#12) - The burden of responsibility and the tragic death of Phillip Jr

Despite the magnificence of the ceremony, the marriage between Nina and Phillip Jr. encounters more than one difficulty. First of all, there is the burden of responsibility of Phillip Jr who, still a boy, is called to a task of great maturity and sense of duty as that of being a parent. Then there are the constant family tensions that one breathes at home Chancellor, with Jill and Katherine arguing animatedly about what is best for Phillip Jr, about Chance's future and above all about the adequacy of Nina in her double role as Phillip Jr's wife and Chance's mother. Phillip Jr. himself also feels the lack of his carefree and blissful life with his friends, a condition that leads him into a kind of depression. The result is what Katherine had always feared, that Phillip Jr. could return to the alcohol business. The call of the bottle, in fact, seems impossible to curb for a fragile boy like Phillip Jr, who soon neglects himself and literally lets himself go despite Nina's prayers and love. When things slowly seem to settle down, with the promise of reconciliation between Nina and Jill, and between Jill and Katherine, with the commitment of all to focus on Phillip Jr. and little Chance, tragedy happens. Returning home after drinking too much at an office party, Phillip Jr. is tragically involved in a car accident. Taken to the hospital, Phillip Jr., who suffered serious injuries, remains alive long enough for Nina, Jill and Katherine to rush to the hospital to see him alive one last time. In the end, in fact, despite the efforts of doctors and in particular Dr. Wesley Larkin, Phillip Jr. dies from the desperation and dismay of all, especially Nina and two inconsolable Jill and Katherine, who do not rest for the tragic end of the boy, joined to his father Phillip, who also died in a car accident, by a mocking fate.

After a few weeks, convulsed as never before, finally comes the long-awaited wedding day between Nina and Phillip Jr. The Chancellor estate is in great excitement for the event, with Katherine, Christine and Rex eager to finally see little Chance grow into a real family. The only one who is not at all happy about the upcoming wedding is therefore Jill, who absolutely does not want Nina, who never liked her, to become his son's wife. On the very day of the wedding, Chase, in agreement with Jill, tries to seduce Nina and prevent her from reaching the church; but the girl, aware that the guests are already gathering for her wedding, stops him and convinces the boy to take her to the church so as not to miss her wedding. Nina's vicissitudes to reach the church in time, however, are put to the test when Chase's car breaks down. Everything seems to go wrong for the unfortunate Nina, who now sees her dream of marrying the love of her life fade away, but in the end, thanks also to Chase's mechanic skills, Nina finally manages to get to the church, where an impatient Phillip Jr. is waiting for her, excited about the idea of marrying the woman. Even if late, therefore, in the end the ceremony takes place and two very young and radiant Nina and Phillip Jr declare their eternal love in front of a large and moved crowd of relatives and friends, all very happy, except obviously Jill, to see the heir of the great Chancellor empire marry the beautiful and in love Nina.

1989 (#2) - Nina's change of heart, Jill's opposition and Phillip Jr.'s proposal

In the Chancellor estate, meanwhile, the transformation of Nina by Katherine is now complete. The girl, thanks to the advice of two satisfied Christine and Katherine has assumed an enviable elegance and poise; it is time, at this point, to put the plan to the test by having the girl meet Phillip Jr. When the boy contacts Christine for a date, then, the girl makes sure to send Nina in his place, anxious to meet Phillip Jr and check the boy's reaction to her sight. After a difficult start, with Phillip Jr very annoyed by Christine's behavior, the couple spend a pleasant evening and the boy admits to finding Nina very different, definitely more attractive. And so the two of them, when Christine informs Phillip Jr that she sees no future for them, start dating. Nina's dream then becomes reality when, surprisingly, Phillip Jr asks her to marry him in order to unite their family and raise little Chance between the love of his parents. The news of the upcoming wedding makes both Katherine and Christine very happy, eager to help an excited Nina organize her fairytale wedding. Less enthusiastic about the situation is Jill, who has never appreciated Nina and who encourages Chase to make another attempt with her. The boy, who has put aside his ambitions towards Christine, completely devoted to Danny, decides to play his cards close to his heart to try to break off the wedding, despite all his attempts are in vain.

1988 (#31) - Clint's room for rent and flirting with Gina

At the end of the year, the sentimental situation of the new generation of protagonists in Genoa City was at least tangled. On the one hand there is Nina, with her son Chance, who hopes to reunite her family with Phillip Jr., a reunification desired by Katherine and Christine herself. Christine, who in reality is none other than the object of Phillip Jr.'s own desire, but who in reality appears uncertain whether to resume her story with Danny or dive into the arms of the unknown but charming young Chase. Throughout this situation, Rex and Katherine are obviously concerned about the situation of Phillip Jr., who finds himself in love with a woman who pushes him into the arms of the mother of his son. Katherine's fear, in particular, is that the boy may start drinking again, an addiction that is always around the corner as the boy never completely overcomes his vice. Meanwhile, the relationship between Rex and his sons, Danny and Gina is getting stronger and stronger. Danny is happy that his father has found serenity with Katherine, and at the same time Rex is confident that Christine may decide to return with him. Rex is also intrigued by Gina's love life, a very independent woman who devotes all her days to running her restaurant and hotel. Gina confirms her suspicions to her father: she is having a flirt with a man; however, she decides not to reveal her identity, since her own, for now, is a simple flirt. Surely, Rex would not be happy about this if he knew that the man in question is Clint Radison, a former cellmate of his. Clint, who shows an unsettling look many times, has in fact rented a room at Gina's motel and spends much of his time with the woman, who seems to like the presence of the man in his life.

1988 (#23) - The breakup with Chase and Katherine's rethinking of Nina

A few weeks after the agreement between Jill and Chase, the woman's plan to get her son away from Nina seems to be working. After the umpteenth confirmation that Phillip Jr.'s interest is only in winning back Christine, in fact, Nina is tempted by Chase's proposal to leave for Los Angeles and leave the child alone for a few days with his babysitter Erika Finley. All as planned by Jill, who intends to sue the girl for child abandonment. Nina, a caring mother as she is, does not fall into Jill's trap, however, and after thinking about it, she refuses the proposal. This episode particularly strikes Katherine, who is convinced that this whole affair cannot but be the work of a manipulator like Jill. Katherine then, Jill's bitter enemy, begins to feel a certain sympathy for Nina, also convinced by Rex of the genuineness of feelings, spontaneity and simplicity of the girl. It is Katherine, then, who goes to apologize to Nina for all the obstacles so far placed against her; the woman then reveals to Nina that certainly the whole Chase affair is Jill's work, as confirmed by the fact that Chase works side by side with the woman. Nina, then, decides to immediately end all relations with the boy and, extremely disappointed by Jill, informs her that she cannot forbid her in any way to pursue her aims. Aims that at this moment translate into getting the attention of Phillip Jr, who is still interested in the beautiful Christine. Nina and Katherine, however, strengthen their friendship and Katherine promises her that she will help her to conquer Phillip Jr, also because it is their task to raise little Chance, the last descendant of the Chancellors. Helped also by Rex and the reformed couple Christine and Danny, who are starting to reappear and who apparently both have an interest in Phillip Jr. starting to take an interest in Nina, Katherine thus begins to transform the simpleton Nina into a refined classy woman capable of dressing, putting on makeup, talking and entertaining, thus making her the kind of woman Phillip Jr. can fall in love with.

1988 (#17) - The break between Christine and Phillip Jr, the agreement of Jill and Chase

The birth of little Chance, as feared by Jill and Katherine, has inevitably radically transformed Phillip Jr.'s life, from his school commitment to his life with his friends to his relationship with Christine. The woman, who, as said, had the maturity and patience to stand aside in the first days of Chance's life, to give Phillip Jr. a chance to get used to his new condition as a father, is now beginning to suffer from the situation. Phillip Jr. and Nina are willing or not always very close and present in Chance's life, which obviously takes a lot of the time that Phillip Jr. used to dedicate to Christine, who feels more and more neglected and suffering from the situation. Of all this, taken by the thousands of commitments that the situation requires, he does not realize Phillip Jr, who in spite of everything is still so in love with Christine that he intends to propose to her. It is precisely by talking about their future, this discussion undertaken by Phillip Jr. to propose to her, that Christine takes the leap to confess to Phillip Jr. that she no longer wants to be put on the sidelines and that, evidently, the right place for Phillip Jr., at this time, is not with her but with Nina. Phillip Jr. is shocked by Christine's sentences, but she insists that it is time to do the right thing and take responsibility and so, while confessing that she loves him, leaves him wishing her all the luck in the world with Nina and their son. The news of the break-up doesn't just make Phillip Jr despair, but obviously Jill too, who decides that the time has come to act to get Phillip Jr away from Nina's heart before it's too late. Thanks to her corporate position at Jabot, then, Jill gets to know the handsome Chase Benson model, to whom she promises a quick climb inside the company as long as he seduces the beautiful Nina and distracts her from Phillip Jr. Chase, enticed by Jill's proposal, thus begins to seduce her.

1988 (#11) - The birth of Chance, the offer of Jill and Katherine and the rejection of Nina

Right during the wedding ceremony between Katrherine and Rex, shortly before the guests start to leave, Nina begins to complain excruciating abdominal pain. Soon, everyone realizes that the woman has broken the waters, although Nina continues to claim desperately that it is still too early, being only eight months pregnant. Nina's fear of losing the baby becomes very real when nurse Deborah Ecckles informs the woman that the doctors suspect that there is internal bleeding due to the rupture of the placenta and that they will have to perform an emergency caesarean section. Fortunately, the operation goes well; the baby is born healthy, while Nina's initially critical condition soon improves. As soon as Nina wakes up, Phillip Jr enters her room with the baby in his hand; a splendid family picture is formed between them, and the couple decides to name the baby Phillip IV Chancellor, commonly called Chance. Jill, still hoping to prove that the child is not Phillip Jr.'s son, proposes to carry out a paternity test, but the result is positive: Phillip Jr is actually Chance's father. Nina confesses to Phillip Jr. that Chance has given her the will to live and the happiness of a future perspective; it is Phillip himself, however, who reminds the woman of his commitment to Christine, who in a very mature way is giving her boyfriend time to get used to the new condition. Jill is happy to hear from Phillip Jr. that he intends to confirm his relationship with Christine, but for once he agrees with Katherine, who jokingly calls her grandmother, of the need to permanently remove Nina from Phillip Jr.'s life. The two women, therefore, offer Nina the considerable sum of $1 million to leave Genoa City with Chance; a sum that would allow her to raise the child with the best care and comfort. Nina, however, reluctantly rejects the offer, stating that her future is not for sale; and while she is aware that Phillip Jr. currently has a relationship with Christine, she has no intention of giving up her dreams, believing she hopes for her future with Phillip Jr.
