Nina Cortlandt is a fictional character and one half of the Cliff and Nina supercouple on the long running ABC soap opera, All My Children. She has been most notably played by Taylor Miller who exited the role in 1996. Miller returned for a special cameo in 2010, following the death of her father Palmer Cortlandt.
Nina Cortlandt was her father’s daughter; not that she had much of a choice after her mother died in childbirth. For as long as she could remember, she suffered from many ailments, most notably diabetes. The pressure of her recent move to Pine Valley made her ignore her health. At a party thrown in honor of the Cortlandts at the Tyler Estate, Nina fainted as a result of appendicitis.
When Nina awoke, she saw the face of a handsome doctor, Cliff Warner. Cliff took a liking to Nina. They began dating, but Palmer did not approve of Cliff. Nina’s only concern came about when Cliff’s ex- Janice Rawlins approached her, bad mouthing Cliff. Janice was pregnant with Cliff’s child. The pressure began to affect Nina, and her health began to diminish again. Little did she know, Janice's presence was a plot put together by Palmer to keep the lovers apart.
Nina got cold feet after Cliff finally proposed to her. She had long blamed herself for her mother’s death in childbirth, and was fearful of having the same fate bestow her. Myra calmed Nina’s fears by secretly staging a séance with her late mother, Daisy Cortlandt. Daisy encouraged her daughter to follow her heart. But, Palmer had other plans. He informed Nina that she had been diagnosed with the early stages of blindness as a result of her diabetes. She did not want to be a burden to Cliff and broke up with him. In the meanwhile, she began to spend time with Palmer’s employee, Sean Cudahy. Sean and Nina were stuck in a bank robbery together. She passed out in a diabetic coma. Sean and Brooke English’s efforts helped to stop the robbery and keep Nina alive. Nina also became friends with the new stable hand, Monique Jonvil.
Nina learned that her condition was reversible with a non-invasive surgical technique. She traveled to Baltimore to have the laser surgery done. When she returned to Pine Valley, she accepted Cliff’s proposal. They married on the Cortlandt Manor grounds. New friends Brooke and Monique were amongst her bridal party.
