Question

what ever happened to palmer cortlandt and his daughter nina, i think thy should bring nina back as his heir.

Answer 1

I always loved the Cortlandt story line and especially loved it when Adam Chandler came to town and exposed Palmer as a big loser from Pigeon Hollow. I really hope that someday they revive the Cliff and Nina story and bring these wonderful characters back. I remember when they replaced the original Nina with a fake Nina. I think they had to bring the original Nina back, just like with Greenlee. Just goes to show you cannot really ever replace someone!

And I also miss Bonkers the cat, but that was Nina's mother's cat. I miss Monique Jonvil aka Daisy Cortlandt! What a wacky fun family!

Answer 2

Palmer is still on and shows up just for special storylines and holidays. Nina is with Cliff in Chicago. They don't even talk about her anymore so I doubt if she'll be back. Palmer is getting older and doesn't want to work except on an occasional story. James Mitchell (Palmer) is a great stage actor.
Palmer also has a son, Petie, with Opal. We don't see him either.

Answer 3

Palmer shows up on occasion. Usually for an event or something. NIna is living I forget where with Cliff.

Answer 4

Palmer's age has a lot to do with why he isn't seen very often. I am not sure but I think his health isn't that good right now. Same with Myrtle, you don't see her very often either. It was nice seeing her with Zach while Zach was in the hospital.

Hopefully, they will bring Nina back one day. I sure enjoyed her and Mr.Bonkers (her cat)

Answer 5

palmer is like opal only come around for one episode to let everyone know that they are still alive.

Answer 6

Palmer is still on the show, but only appears occasionally. He hasn't really had a storyline for a while.

Storyline of CLiff & Nina:
Cliff Warner and Nina Cortlandt meet and fall in love while Cliff is working at Pine Valley Hospital in 1979. Nina's father, Palmer Cortlandt (James Mitchell), disapproves of their relationship, and plots over the years to break them up and keep them apart. Nina is a diabetic and develops retinopathy, which is making her go blind. Palmer refuses to let her know that there is a cure, knowing that she will break up with Cliff in order not to be a burden to him. Eventually, Cliff finds out about Nina's condition, and is able to get her treatment. They reconcile. In the meantime, Nina has met ne'er-do-well, Sean Cudahy,, (Alan Dysart), who works with Palmer to get Nina away from Cliff.

When nurse, Sybil Thorne (Linda Gibboney), notices that Cliff is falling for Nina, she plots to get him all to herself. Cliff and Sybil make love, and Sybil ends up pregnant with his child. She alerts him to the fact just before his marriage to Nina in November 1980. Sybil ends up giving birth to a boy, named Bobby, and Nina eventually finds out the baby's parentage from Sybil; Nina files for divorce. Sybil is found murdered, and Cliff is arrested for the murder, but it is later found that Sean Cudahy is the killer.

Cliff and Nina reconcile and are remarried in 1982. Nina adopts Cliff's son, Bobby. However, Nina has started a secretarial job with Steve Jacobi (Dack Rambo), who is smitten with her. She battles with her attraction to him in an attempt to make her marriage to Cliff work. Nina is at Cortlandt Manor working with Steve one night when a thunderstorm causes a power outage. Despite her attempts to stay true to her husband, Nina and Steve make love that evening.

From then on, Nina becomes disinterested in Cliff and dreams about her sexual encounter with Steve, which leads to more lovemaking between the two. One day, Cliff catches Nina, but instead of making a fuss, he sneaks away. That evening, he informs Nina of what he knows and demands that they divorce.

Before going away on an assignment, Steve persuades Nina to go away with him so they can have some time alone. Their plane crashes, and everyone in Pine Valley, including Cliff, has assumed Nina is dead. She resurfaces unscathed in 1983, but Steve is very badly injured.

Nina tells Cliff that Kim McGuire, an associate of Steve's, has died, and she blames herself because Cliff was close with Kim. When Nina says that she should have died in the plane crash, Cliff takes her in an embrace and tells her, "I just thank God you're alive!"

In 1987, Cliff becomes involved in an international rescue for a war-torn South American nation. He is reported killed while attempting to deliver medicine. Nina goes to Martha's Vineyard to grieve, but an old friend, Matt Connolly (Michael Tylo), is there, and they make love. By the time they return to Pine Valley, Nina and Matt are married. Cliff shows up, having been only held prisoner, and he and Nina have a wild night of passionate love-making. But when he finds out that Nina has been involved with Matt, he leaves her.

Nina finds out she is pregnant, a paternity issue arises, but Cliff is proven as the biological father of the child, and over some months a few more problems arise, but in the end, the Warners leave town for a new life in Denver, Colorado.
