General Hospital’s James Patrick Stuart Explains Tragic Tale of Valentine Cassadine – No Hope With Nina Left?

In “General Hospital,” Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) tried so hard to pull off a scheme wherein he presented Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) with a fake daughter Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson). However, his lie was bound to be discovered. Well, not all of it for now, at least.

Nina believed him when he said that he didn’t know anything about it and that means when she finally learns the truth, she’ll be in for a terrible heartbreak.

Viewers may detest Valentine because of all the things his done but there someone who’s ready to defend his actions.

Stuart admitted that he can’t play a character who is a “lying liar who hurts those closest to him.” But he also said that he’s fascinated by his alter ego.

The actor sees his character who’s been damaged at a very young age.

“No mother, thrown away by his father and ignored by society due to physical abnormality. A complete lack of love. Now, even with it staring him in the face, he is incapable of genuine intimacy. He’s like a scarecrow doing his best to look and act like a real human. Tragic tale,” he explained.

Although Valentin has been dubbed as one of the scariest members of the Cassadine clan, fans can still sympathize with the character even if he’s done a lot of bad things thanks to Stuart’s impeccable performance.

Stuart said, “People like this exist to varying degrees and other people fall in love with them all the time, seeing their ‘potential.'”

The question now is if Nina is the person who can bring out the best in Valentin or will she bring out the worse in him once she leaves her when she finds out the truth.

Jax will be left confused about Valentin and Nina’s current situation. He’ll ask Nina and the latter will explain that she’s forgiven Valentin. But Jax will feel something’s off and it might be because she’s hiding something.

Viewers may recall that Sofia lied once again and said that Valentin had nothing to do with the deception. Of course, she was only covering for Valentin and it was quite obvious at that time.

Nina’s decision to forgive Valentin will come as a shock. Did she really forgive him or is it just a ruse? Is this her way to get back at him for all his lies?
