Storylines[]
On May 17, 2019, Nina Addison Reeves is hosting The 2019 Nurses' Ball and she meets Jasper "Jax" Jacks and she is at a loss for words. Jax later surprises Nina in her office and he tells her that he bought Crimson Magazine from Drew Cain and he is her new boss. They begin to talk about the budget of the company and how they can make changes for the better.
Nina proposes that if the September issue of the magazine does really well, then she controls how the money is spent. Nina realizes that she needs to do really well with this issue, which means putting all her energy into it and also putting off her wedding to Valentin Cassadine. After she breaks the news to him, he is concerned and not happy about it.
Nina begins work on the issue with her in-law, Maxie Jones and they need to figure out who is going to be on the cover. Maxie suggests Ava Jerome and Nina is obviously not okay with it. Maxie and Sasha Gilmore are able to convince her and she goes to talk to Ava. Ava is skeptical about the offer, because shes worried that its going to make her look bad. Ava considers the offer and she says nothing is official until she reads her contract. After Jax finds out about this, he isn't happy about it because Ava killed Connie Falconeri and basically killed Morgan Corinthos. Nina runs into Jax and Valentin talking as Valentin wants to buy Crimson from Jax.
On January 3, 2020 (New Year's Eve on the show), Jax tried to talk Nina out of getting revenge and suggested she cut her losses which left her torn on what to do. Later on, an alive Prince Nikolas Cassadine crashed Valentin and Nina's wedding and revealed himself to everyone before confronting Valentin.

Nikolas revealed that not only is Valentin not the rightful heir, he is also Helena's son, not Mikkos' which means he is a Romanov, not a Cassadine. Nina also confronted Valentin by saying she knows he was behind the fake daughter scam when he hired Sasha Gilmore to pretend to be her daughter. Jax later took Nina to the Haven Bistro and comforted her over everything that happened, even by revealing that he booked her a suite at the Metro Court Hotel.
On February 14, 2020, Jax and Nina made love for the first time.
On August 12, 2020, Nina tells her boyfriend Jax about the necklace her mother, Madeline Reeves left her to find her long-lost daughter. He calls someone who may be able to find out more about it. Nina and Jax later meet with Jax's jeweler, Evelyn, who tells Nina that she might be able to find the original craftsman.
On September 10, Nina and Jax go to Manhattan to meet the jeweler. Nina says he hasn't returned any of her calls. She wants to back out since the jeweler is retired and she doesn't want bad news but Jax convinces her to knock on the door.
Jax asks if the man who answers is a jeweler named Abraham Dobkin and the man says he is. Nina shows the necklace and says it was divided. Abraham mentions that he usually makes full hearts but that request sounds very familiar.
He remembers the lady who asked for the necklace to be divided. Nina shows a picture of Madeline and asks if it is her. Abraham says he has never seen her before. He does keep receipts and finds one from September 1991 for a woman named Phyllis Caulfield. Jax asks Nina if she recognizes the name and she says she does.
Nina later reveals that she remembers Phyllis as the nurse who helped her give birth. Phyllis was a nurse at Crichton-Clark Clinic. She tells Jax they need to find Phyllis but puts the search on hold for now.
In January 2021, Jax and Nina tell each other they love each other for the first time.

On January 29, 2021, Nina finally found her daughter's half of the heart necklace, learning it was part of a plot to keep it away from her, and she demands answers. Jax point blank admitted Nelle Benson could be her child. Carly Spencer attempted to control her story by saying she figure it out last night and told Jax, but he cut her off, saying he was done lying and wanted to tell Nina the truth. The truth? Nelle was her daughter, and Jax had known for months.
On February 5, Nina laid into Jax for his lies, his lack of trust in her, and his constant need for validation from Carly. He pleaded with her, but she broke up with him and kicked him out of her office.
On September 8 (September 17th on the show), Jax - thinking that thought-dead Sonny Corinthos might be alive - surprises Nina in Nixon Falls. He sees an amnesiac Sonny who thinks he's "Mike". Nina and "Mike" claim to love each other, and Jax admits that the nails are firmly in the coffin of their relationship. After Sonny leaves, Jax and Nina have it out, with Nina trying to rationalize keeping Sonny from his home and family, and Jax trying to get Nina to understand the lives she is ruining and possible catastrophe she's set in motion.
