It was the moment General Hospital<\/a> fans had been waiting for. Moments before she was set to walk down the aisle, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen<\/a>) learned the shocking truth that her mother, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros<\/a>), had a fling with her fianc\u00e9, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison<\/a>). The explosive confrontation that followed changed everything \u2014 and shattered the peace in their family.<\/p>\n

While Nina had resolved to come clean with her daughter, it was Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner<\/a>) who ultimately spilled the beans. \u201cI think Nina really wanted to tell Willow, but the fear of losing Willow triumphed over wanting to be honest with her daughter, unfortunately,\u201d says Cynthia Watros (Nina).<\/p>\n

After a conversation with Ava Jerome (Maura West<\/a>) in the chapel, Nina decided it was time, unaware she was too late. \u201cIt\u2019s been kind of a roller coaster,\u201d notes Watros. \u201cIn the final scenes with Maura in the chapel, Nina and Ava had this moment, and it wasn\u2019t written, but at the end, before Nina left to finally tell Willow the truth, I interjected, \u2018This is it. It\u2019s enough. This is enough.\u2019 And I think I was just playing that Nina was at the end of the line, end of the road. So, Nina did go to Willow to tell her she wasn\u2019t going to hide this secret any longer, but Willow already knew and confronted Nina with the information.\u201d<\/p>\n

An emotional war of words between mother and daughter ensued, during which Willow lashed out at Nina for her silence, a decision that ultimately cost Willow custody of the children she shares with Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson<\/a>). \u201cWillow is understandably upset,\u201d notes Watros. \u201cNina tried to plead her case, where she says it was before Willow and Drew had this intimate relationship and she didn\u2019t know that they were developing such strong feelings for each other, but Nina understands that she should have told her, and it didn\u2019t go well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Filming those pivotal scenes came with mixed emotions for Watros, who found herself pulled in two directions when acting opposite MacMullen. \u201cKatelyn is so great,\u201d Watros praises. \u201cShe does her work. She\u2019s so good. She\u2019s been excellent with this whole storyline, and she\u2019s the most amazing, sweetest, loveliest person you can meet. So doing these scenes, it\u2019s easy in one respect, because she\u2019s so prepared, and she\u2019s so on it, and it\u2019s difficult in the other respect because I love her so much.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard because I feel when Nina and Willow have confrontations and stuff, it\u2019s really easy to access my heart, because I love her so much when I look into those eyes, but it\u2019s also hard, because I don\u2019t want to fight with her,\u201d continues Watros. \u201cSo, it\u2019s really easy and difficult at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the clash, Nina quickly rushed to leave the chapel, assuming the wedding was off. \u201cNina is heartbroken and really feels like she shouldn\u2019t be there because they just had this big, blowout fight,\u201d explains Watros. \u201cAnd she goes to grab Liesel [Obrecht, Kathleen Gati<\/a>], and Liesl\u2019s like, \u2018Don\u2019t be crazy. We\u2019re staying. Your daughter\u2019s getting married,\u2019 and then Willow is suddenly walking down the aisle. So, Nina is like, \u2018Oh, my god, she\u2019s going to actually do it, because she feels like marrying Drew is the only way to get her children back.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Nina\u2019s heart breaks as she watches Willow put her own happiness on the line. \u201cNot only is Nina hurt because she\u2019s no longer in Willow\u2019s life,\u201d Watros adds, \u201cbut she\u2019s also hurt because her beautiful daughter is sacrificing herself for her children, which mothers do, but Nina doesn\u2019t feel like she has to do that, that that\u2019s not the path Willow should take. But Willow believes that marrying Drew is the only way.\u201d (Tune in Monday for the dramatic conclusion of the nuptials!)<\/p>\n

As for where it leaves Nina and Willow\u2019s relationship, Watros says Nina will do what she can to make things right. \u201cNina will never give up,\u201d Watros declares. \u201cShe is determined and persistent in wanting to have a relationship with her daughter, so she\u2019ll always be there. If she sees Willow, she\u2019ll always be checking in, and whether or not her daughter is receptive to that, she\u2019ll always keep an open heart towards her daughter, so we\u2019ll see. I hope they come back together. I love that Nina gets to have family, because it does mean so much to her. Cynthia\u2019s heart breaks for Nina and to see what happens with this relationship. Willow can\u2019t forgive her mother and we\u2019re back at square one. Willow has just had it.\u201d<\/p>\n
