General Hospital Spoilers: The Mysterious Nelle Revealed At Last – Who Is She and What Does She Really Want?

General Hospital Spoilers: The Mysterious Nelle Revealed At Last - Who is She and What Does She Really Want?

General Hospital spoilers look at the calamity that has befallen the Corinthos family known as Nelle. The Nelle [Chloe Lanier] story has been going on for some time. This meek snowflake who purportedly saved Josslyn’s [Eden McCoy] life by donating a kidney has now shoe-horned herself into the lives of the Corinthos family. She has probably succeeded in breaking up Carly’s [Laura Wright] marriage.

Until her watershed moment with Michael [Chad Duell], Nelle hated Carly and really wanted her to crash and burn.  So who is she? The speculations have run the gamut and GH spoilers enumerate the better ones below.

She’s Jax’s [Ingo Rademacher’s] daughter, given up for adoption. Why be angry with Carly? Why not go after Josslyn? Some fans correctly point out how nervous Jax was when he introduced Nell. I am guessing that this story was originally to go in a different direction. The writers will often alter a story for a variety of reasons (Fluke, Paul Hornsby the serial killer…). Jax may have been nervous because he knew Nelle’s identity and was reluctant to tell Carly, not because he is Nelle’s father.

Nelle is John Durant’s [Corbin Bersen] daughter and therefore Carly’s half-sister. She had a lousy life and Carly grew up in the lap of luxury. I always thought Carly grew up in Florida and that Frank Benson, her adopted father, abandoned her and her adoptive mother [Lois Nettleton]. So why would Nelle resent Carly? Even if she is another illegitimate daughter of Durant’s, Carly is still is not reponsible.

John Durant faked his death and went undercover. He may have sent Nelle on a mission to destroy Sonny [Maurice Benard] and Carly. This feels weak. It has been many years since Durant has been on the scene.

Nelle is Carly’s daughter whom Carly gave up. Nelle could certainly want revenge on Carly for giving her up. Fans remember that when Carly came to town, she sought revenge on her mother, Bobbie [Jackie Zeman], by seducing Tony Jones [Brad Maule], Bobbie’s husband. This is similar to the Carly-Bobbie plot, but it is not unheard of to repeat a story arc.

If Carly had a child and gave her up for adoption, why wouldn’t she have had more sympathy for Bobbie’s situation instead of deciding to ruin her mother’s life?

Nelle is B.J. [Brighton Hertford], whose heart was donated to Maxie [Robyn Richards]. How is Nelle walking around with no heart, and what does that situation have to do with Carly?

Because Nelle is avoiding a relationship with Michael, they could be related. On the other hand, Nelle realizes that when her motives are revealed, Michael won’t want anything to do with her anyway, so why even start?

Carly did not miscarry A.J.’s child. Instead, the baby survived and became Nelle. That would be a slick one to pull off. Did someone steal the baby from the hospital and tell Carly she miscarried? And how is this Carly’ fault? As I recall, that baby was going to be her ticket to the Quartermaine money.

After weighing these many possibilities, General Hospital spoilers reject all of them and report the buzz that Nelle is Frank Benson’s daughter. He gave Nelle the Caroline rattle. Carly may not be aware of the reasons why Virginia and Frank Benson parted. So we don’t know why he may want revenge against Carly. Did he once hit her up for money and she refused to give him any?

Whoever Nelle is, she is driving the fans crazy. Everyone wants to know who she is and why she wants Carly and Sonny broken apart, why she claims that Carly deserves everything that is coming to her.
