[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 444583, member: 27"] I assume the whole plot point was to accommodate Cynthia Watros taking vacation time. Still, you are correct that this is an unrealistic twist to say the least. Not only is she the mother of a Congresswoman, but she is the editor of a (supposedly) popular American magazine. As a high-profile member of the American press, there ought to be an uproar among mainstream media concerning her being basically kidnapped. At the very least Michael and Jordan (as owner and CEO of Aurora Media, respectively) should be splashing the situation across all their platforms and urging others to take up the cause. Yes, Michael hates Nina but he ought to know Nina's situation would sell a lot of papers. Alexis is still PO'd at the WSB for how they kidnapped Jason and carted him off to Jakarta, so I could even see her advocating for Nina out of principle. Two of Nina's ex-husbands are Sonny Corinthos (well-known mob boss) and Valentin Cassadine (well-known ex-spy and WSB renegade), so if those two were to throw around their influence and resources they could cause the WSB a LOT of indigestion. Also, it is not mentioned enough that Nina inherited an enormous real estate fortune from her father and thus is one of the richer people in Port Charles....likely in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The power that such a fortune would give her ought to be brought to bear on the WSB. So yeah, the WSB overstepped, but I'd actually forgive them this whole fiasco if Nina returned from her time away having been shown how foolishly [B][I](slavishly) [/I][/B]she has been doing Willow's bidding. Maybe she can come back having finally gotten a necessary "re-set" to see just how dysfunctional their relationship has become. Hey, a guy can dream.... [/QUOTE]
