As most GH viewers know, Nelle hates Carly with a passion. However, no one seems to care why Nelle apparently detests Carly so much. Doesn’t anyone remember that Carly didn’t recognize Nelle as her baby sister when Nelle moved into Port Charles? When it became clear that Carly was more likely to scratch Nelle’s eyes out than invite her to tea, Nelle’s desire for payback only intensified. Yet, there is still something in the depths of Nelle that some GH fans believe can be touched if only Carly would try.
After all, Carly wasn’t so very different from Nelle at one time. Even though the powers that be have attempted to cast shade on Nelle and have tried to put as much distance between her characteristics and those of Nelle, it just isn’t working. GH viewers aren’t buying into the idea that Nelle and Carly are so very different … because they’re not.
The truth is that both Carly and Nelle have (and continue to) suffer from mental illness. Both Carly and Nelle are impulsive in the extreme. Neither Nelle nor Carly appear able to hold a committed relationship together, and both have evidently strayed from the bounds of holy matrimony (time and again). Indeed, there are elements to Carly and Nelle that just scream “Black Widow.”
However, if Carly could just be made to see that she and Nelle have more in common than not, then some believe she could be convinced to begin her own personal crusade to see Nelle brought back to the light. If Carly could turn her own life around (sort of), then maybe Carly can help Nelle do the same.
The best scenario should Nelle win custody of Wiley Cooper-Jones (Erik and Theo Olson) would be for Carly to make peace with Nelle. How else would the Corinthos family ever see Wiley again? Moreover, Carly might see peace with Nelle as a means of ensuring Wiley’s overall safety. What if Carly could help Nelle to become a good mother?
Of course, it’s still kind of just sick that Carly’s sister is the mother of Carly’s grandson … talk about that old Muppets song from the Gogolala Jubilee Jugband – “I’m My Own Grandpa.” Sheesh!
Regardless of family lovin, if Nelle Benson is to be saved and have any kind of hope at redemption, Carly Corinthos just might be the source of Nelle’s deliverance.
