Young and Restless character history:

Nina grew up poor in Detroit, raised by her mother Florence "Flo" Webster (Sharon Farrell), a former prostitute who never knew who Nina's father was, just that he had a certain scar on his neck. As a teenager, Nina got pregnant, ran away from home and was found on a park bench in Genoa City by Christine Blair (Lauralee Bell), and they soon became friends. Nina moved into a home for unwed mothers run by Rose DeVille (Darlene Conley), who, unbeknownst to Nina, headed a black market baby ring. Just before her son was born, Nina had a change of heart about the adoption, so Rose abandoned Nina on the delivery table, and kidnapped her newborn son. Christine and Nina were unsuccessful in locating Rose or Nina's baby.

Christine and Nina became roommates, and Christine and Danny (Michael Damian) worked with Nina to polish her rough edges. Nina then set her sights on Chris' boyfriend, Phillip Chancellor III (Thom Bierdz), heir to the Chancellor fortune. Nina got Phillip drunk, seduced him and ended up pregnant. Phillip's mother, Jill (Jess Walton), and Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper), who disapproved of Nina, tried to buy her off, but failed. Nina had a son, Phillip Chancellor IV, and she and Phillip married. Jill and Katherine set Nina up by hiring a handsome Jabot employee, Chase Benson (Stephen Gregory), to seduce Nina and prove that she was an unfit mother. Their plan backfired. But Phillip's drinking problem soon led to his death when his sportscar slammed into a tree.

After Nina inherited a sizable fortune from Phillip, she was romanced and married by con-man David Kimble. When Nina realized David was only interested in her money, she shot him five times, but was acquitted in self defense. David later met a grizzly death in a trash compactor while avoiding the police for murdering his prior wife Rebecca.

Nina began an affair with Ryan McNeil (Scott Reeves), showering him with gifts, including an expensive sports car. Even after Ryan married Victoria Newman (then played by Heather Tom), Nina gave Ryan the sex life that Victoria couldn't. When their marriage ended and Ryan moved in with Nina and young Phillip. Nina became pregnant, and he married her out of obligation. After Nina's miscarriage, Ryan realized he truly did love her, became a devoted father to Phillip, and encouraged Nina to get her college degree. Years later, Nina began doing research for, and fell in love with, novelist Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck) (who was Victoria's current husband). Cole's rejection caused Nina to suffer a nervous breakdown. She alienated Ryan, who then became infatuated with the young nubile Tricia Dennison (Sabryn Genet), and after Ryan foiled a suicide attempt by Nina (which led to him almost being wrongly prosecuted for attempted murder), they were divorced.

Nina Webster began emerging as a strong, confident, independent woman. She began working on her first novel - the story of her youth and her stolen child. Nina met Tomas Del Cerro (Francesco Quinn) in a Genoa City restaurant, and recognized him from the photo on the dust jacket of his novel which she happened to be reading. She hesitantly approached him and asked for an autograph. Tomas smiled and Nina told him what a fabulous writer he was, if only she were as good. Tomas thanked her, but let her know that the life of a writer was not all fame and happiness. Tomas became her mentor and lover. When Nina wrote a happy ending to her book, Tomas knew it didn't ring true, and helped her realize the only way to end her book "A Cry In Thin Air" was with the truth - that she never found her baby. But finally getting it out and putting it into print helped Nina to move on. Tomas's publisher loved her book, and agreed to be publish it. Tomas proposed, but Nina hesitated, knowing that Tomas was never completely open with her, and was not dealing with his own demons. He convinced her to accept his ring, and they became engaged. Then a movie producer became interested in Nina's book, and wanted Nina to go to Los Angeles to become the screenwriter. Tomas' old insecurities surfaced, he became jealous, bad-tempered, and was often drunk, which shocked Nina. In the end, Tomas convinced Nina to leave without him, and let her know that he would not be there when she returned. Nina left for L.A. brokenhearted and her now-teenaged son Phillip Chancellor IV (Penn Badgley) later joined her. Tomas left Genoa City and was never seen or heard from again.

There were hints that J.T. Hellstorm could have been Nina's son stolen by Rose. However, this storyline never fully happened.
