of intelligent characters who fascinate us. People make mistakes but to keep doing this wash/rinse/repeat stuff is truly awful.
After the multitude of times things have blown up in Nina's face or the number of times Ava has advised her to come clean with Willow--it's one step forward and two steps backwards. All she has to do and sit Willow down and say:
I have a lot to say, so please just let me get it all out before I lose my nerve. It pains me greatly that I didn't get to raise you or your sister. You and I got off to a rocky start. I mean we couldn't stand each other, but look at us now. You call me mom and we have gotten so close. I am so afraid of losing what we have, but I am going to go on a little faith and tell you the truth about a secret I've been keeping from you. Shortly before your involvement with Drew, he and I were sleeping together and it happened a few more times as things progressed between the two of you. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of losing my daughter. But now, that you are so close to losing custody, I couldn't stay silent. This should prove to you that Drew's good guy act is just that--an act. There is good news too. I have a bombshell that will more than level the playing field between you and Michael. I have proof that he cheated first with Sasha and he is the father of her baby--not Jason. They slept together the night Tracy played the video. I know I just hit you with a lot of information. I am going to allow you some time to process this. Just know that I love you and adore my grandchildren. I just hope you can forgive me. Even if you can't, I refused to let you lose your children for someone like Drew! BTW, did he do that tongue thing for you? Sorry, too soon!"
