Finally, Jack and Nina gave in to temptation on General Hospital following a night of heavy drinking and vulnerability. However, in the light of day, things looked quite different, even though it’s not what either of them wanted.
Key Takeaway
- Sparks were flying between Nina and Jack in more ways than one.
- They made accusations and bold declarations about each other.
- Jack and Nina are both guarded, which has hurt the relationship before it even started.
The Next Morning Turned Ugly for Nina and Jack
It was only a matter of time before Jack (Chris McKenna) and Nina (Cynthia Watros) hit the sheets. The chemistry between these two has been off the charts since she asked him to bury evidence against (Katelyn MacMullen) during her trial.
In true soap fashion, the next morning was awkward, and Nina instantly made it worse. Nina quickly made the situation about their arrangement to find evidence against Drew (Cameron Mathison) to help Willow.
Jack became offended and suggested that she had sex with him to ensure he would help her with her family’s Drew problem. Nina was taken aback because her actions certainly didn’t indicate that she had done that. She was just awkward and uncomfortable following a night of being vulnerable and drinking too much.
Even though Jack apologized, the damage was done, and it was more than he knew.
Jack and Nina Always Keep Their Guards Up And It Will Cost Them
Despite Jack’s declaration, he enjoyed their night together and would like to see her again. Nina dropped the bomb that she feels like they need to keep things focused on the task at hand, the evidence.
Jack and Nina were disappointed at her suggestion, but that didn’t change anything. These are two of the most guarded people in Port Charles, and they are so alike.
Those combinations shed new light on their night and morning after. Jack’s accusations against Nina were simply him protecting himself from further hurt. Let’s be honest, Carly (Laura Wright) crushed him, much like Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) did to Nina.
Nina and Jack’s morning after sex reactions were all about them protecting themselves. Their go-to is to be defensive and harsh, and to hide their real feelings. Jack let his guard slip for a hot second, only to have Nina shut him down.
They each knew how they were acting and what they were saying. What they weren’t able to do because there was no alcohol was let their guard down and be vulnerable like they were the night before at the Brown Dog Bar.
If Jack and Nina get out of their own way, they could be a good couple. The question is, will either of them let their guard down long enough to make that happen?
