So why does Nina get so much hate?
The litany of ways in which Nina has been wronged, however, is lengthy.
Her husband, Dr. Silas Clay (Michael Easton), had an affair with Ava.

Madeline even gaslighted Nina to steal her fortune and killed Silas, letting Nina take the blame.
And let’s face facts: Carly not once, buttwiceprevented Nina from knowing she had a daughter.
That’s a lot for any human to deal with.

Nina has reacted badly at times
Nina Reeves isn’t above reproach.
Thus, she told no one.
Keeping Sonny from his family was indeed a terrible act, but Carly had it coming.

Reporting a crime is not a crime, yet fans took exception to this.
Willow has kept Nina at arm’s length after learning thatthey are mother and daughter.
Because Carly is Willow’s mother-in-law, the two have bonded, which understandably irritates Nina.
Ava also forgave Nina, with the same result.
