Cynthia Watros is good at playing a part where half the audience wants to see her suffer while the others feel she has been the victim.

It hasn’t been easy playing the part of Nina Reeves on ABC’s General Hospital, especially lately. General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the actors on the front burner of this storyline have been receiving backlash. Maurice Benard has had to defend his character, Sonny Corinthos, as Cynthia has had to defend herself as Nina Reeves as well. Majority of fans feel for Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), victimizing her while putting the blame on Nina and Sonny.

In a recent interview, Cynthia Watros opened up about the current role she’s playing. General Hospital spoilers suggest that tensions run high in the court room as the battle for Wiley Corinthos gets heated. The hearing is right around the corner and Sonny has offered to testify on her behalf. Nina doesn’t want to overstep, as she knows how difficult things have been for Sonny and his family. Watros explains how Nina feels. She explains, “She’s very touched, but she knows how difficult this is, not only on Sonny, but for everybody. I mean, she can be mad at Carly and Michael and Willow and still feel like, ‘Wow this is challenging for everybody,’ and still have that compassion. She’s not evil. All she wants is to have a relationship with her grandson, and none of what she’s done in her life makes her less of an amazing grandmother. It’s a good feeling [to have Sonny’s support]. But she also feels sorry it has to come to this. She didn’t want to go to court! She didn’t want to drag everybody into this courtroom and unpack everyone’s dirty laundry. But she felt like this was the only thing that she could do. And I don’t think she wants to be the reason why the bridge that connects the son and the father is burned. She’s like, ‘Sonny, you don’t have to do this. I want you to really think about going back home. You don’t have to be here. You don’t have to be here.’ But he’s a grown man. It’s his decision. No way Nina can force Sonny to do anything, let alone testify in her behalf!”

General Hospital news and spoilers suggest the visitation battle for Wiley takes some wild turns in the courtroom. Watros admits she feels awful for the way she has to treat Katey [MacMullen, as Willow] but also enjoys it because it brings that daytime drama to the screen.

Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) is in the middle of it all, more than Nina even knows. What she learned from Harmony Miller (Inga Cadranel) is weighing on her because she wants to protect Willow. She also wants to make sure Harmony’s words was the truth. Telling Willow about Nina prematurely could be disastrous.

Keep watching to see the battle unfold!
