[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 262331, member: 27"] Yeah, I want to think they are that clever (and forward-thinking), but we'll probably never know. It is a great use of history, though. A lot of writers would not go to the trouble, Compare it to the ret-con fiasco that was the Westbourne/Reeves family about seven years ago. They introduced Silas Clay, with the back-story of a comatose wife who he may or may not have tried to kill (Nina). He was soon working at GH with Chief of Staff Liesl Obrecht, who did not know him and in fact seemed kind of amused when she found out he might be a would-be wife-killer. "I'm sure you had your reasons..." she remarked, hardly one to get on a moral high horse about trying to kill people. Then they introduced insanely-hot Nathan West, Nina's policeman brother out to nail Silas for putting his sister in an "irreversible" coma, Nathan met Dr. Obrecht at least two times and there was not a flicker of recognition between these two, either. But once Nathan's mother Madeline came to town, we found out Madeline (nee Magda) was Liesl's sister, and eventually Nina awakened. Liesl behaved as if she had been following Nina's plight all those years, yet she didn't know Silas when they originally interacted. Still later we found out Nathan was in fact Liesl's son. The effusive, devoted way she behaved toward Nathan after the reveal was in stark contrast to how she behaved earlier--which was because the writers had not decided to link Dr. O to all those Reeves newcomers. It is interesting that Nina Reeves has not been in the same room/scene with Dr. Hamilton Finn since his introduction. I wonder if they would even acknowledge his resemblance to the love of her life, Nelle's father, etc. Given she doesn't quite resemble the Nina who woke up from the coma, they probably wouldn't.
