Back in August, Drew also shared an intimate moment with Willow's mother Nina, something that has not been revealed to Willow yet. As the families gear up to celebrate Christmas together and the secret remains on the verge of being revealed, fans of the soap flocked to Facebook to discuss the dynamic that the mother-daughter share:

This seemed to spark a debate between viewers, many of whom pitched in with the opinion that Nina was not a good mother:

"What a joke!! Nina doesn't even have respect for her daughter. Nina won't tell Willow bout her and Drew rug burning. Nina is all bout Nina!!"

What happened with Willow and Nina with regard to Drew on General Hospital? Plot dynamics explored

A storyline involving Willow Tait, Nina Reeves, and Drew Quartermaine began on General Hospital in July 2024, when Drew shared a passionate kiss with Willow. For Willow, this began an affair and sparked intense feelings for Drew, even though she was married to Michael Corinthos.

The situation took another unexpected twist in August when Drew and Willow were confused about their feelings for each other. During this time, Drew and Willow’s mother, Nina, also had a physical relationship. This secret affair between the two remained hidden from Willow, even as Drew and Willow resumed their affair.

The potential for strained relationships from this situation is extremely likely. Willow is still navigating the complexities of being a daughter since she only recently learned that Nina is her biological mother. The discovery of Nina's affair with Drew has the potential to damage Willow's bond with the both of them and also send her into a spiral when it comes to her infidelity to Michael.

The families are all set to celebrate Christmas in Port Charles this week, and spoilers for the soap indicate that an explosive revelation might make things difficult. Likely, the truth might finally come out since Nina has even been pressuring Drew to finally come clean. It remains to be seen whether Willow will navigate this revelation, or if her relationships with both Drew and Nina be destroyed.
