50 Greatest Soap Couples: #29 Cliff & Nina From ALL MY CHILDREN

COUPLE: Cliff Warner & Nina Cortlandt
SHOW: ALL MYCHILDREN
RANK: 29
PLAYED BY:
Cliff: Peter Bergman
Nina: Taylor Miller, Heather Standford, Barbara Kearns
YEARS: 1979-1989

STORY:
Cliff was working at Pine Valley Hospital in 1979 when he met and fell in love with Nina.  Nina's father, Palmer (the late James Mitchell), vehemently disapproved and did everything he could to keep them apart.   Over the next decade the couple would marry four different times with the first being one of the most lavish weddings in the show's history.  Some of the obstacles faced by Cliff and Nina over the years (to name just a few) were Nina almost going blind, the pregnancy of nurse Sybil Thorne (Linda Gibboney), Sybil's murder, Nina's affair with Steve Jacobi (Dack Rambo), Nina's relationship with Matt Connolly (Michael Tylo) when Cliff was thought to be dead, Cliff's short-lived engagement to Angie and...  Oh, we said just a few.  You get the picture.
