Mom and Dad, Chase and LA
Nina set her sights on her only friend Cricket Blair's boyfriend, Phillip Chancellor III, heir to the Chancellor fortune. Nina got Phillip drunk, seduced him and ended up pregnant. Katherine Chancellor and Phillip's mother, Jill Abbott, disapproving of Nina, tried but failed to buy her off. Nina had a son, Phillip IV, and she and Phillip III married. Jill and Kay set Nina up by hiring handsome Jabot employee, Chase Benson, to seduce Nina and prove her an unfit mother so they could charge her with neglect. Their plan backfired. Phillip III's drinking problem soon led to his death when his sports car slammed into a tree, and Nina inherited a sizable fortune. Nina began an extra marital affair with Ryan McNeil, and when his marriage ended, Ryan moved in with Nina and young Phillip. Nina became pregnant and Ryan married her out of obligation. After Nina miscarried, Ryan realized he truly did love her, became a devoted father to Phillip and encouraged Nina to get her college degree. Years later, Nina fell in love with novelist Cole Howard, who was married to Ryan's first wife, Victoria Newman. Cole's rejection caused Nina to suffer a nervous breakdown. She alienated Ryan and after Ryan foiled Nina's suicide attempt, they were divorced. Nina and her son Phillip moved to Los Angeles where she wrote the screenplay for a movie based on her book.
Paternity
In 2006, it was revealed that Phillip III had been switched at birth by Katherine, thus was no longer the biological Chancellor heir, but Katherine still considered him family. In November 2008, Nina returned to Genoa City from her home in LA to attend the funeral of Katherine (who was not really dead, it was her doppelganger, Marge Cotroke). When asked about her son Phillip IV, she said he was unable to attend, being in the Army in Iraq. During the reading of the will, Phillip inherited one quarter of one percent in trust, as did Mackenzie Browning. Nina returned to Genoa City to make a screenplay out of Katherine's book of memoirs, and was anxious to identify her son's father to find out if he had the gene to confirm or rule out her son's possible diagnosis of Huntington's disease. With the help of Paul Williams, Nina debunked Cane Ashby's story of being switched at birth with Phillip III. But to everyone's shock, Phillip III, who had been thought dead for 20 years, showed up to defend Cane. Phillip III explained that at 19, he’d found himself overwhelmed with responsibilities as a young executive at Chancellor Industries and a new father. As an alcoholic in depression he attempted suicide by crashing his sports car.
Phillip III's Story and the Arrival of Chance
When he awoke still alive in the hospital, he managed to pay off a doctor and a policeman to aid in faking his death, then escaped to Australia and began a new life as Langley Montgomery. Five years before his return, he had met Cane who went to work for Phillip III as a bartender in Phillip’s bar, and they became friends. Cane had grown up alone without a family and helped Phillip III realize what he had must have put everyone through with his death. So they concocted the plan to give Jill and Kay a new son in Cane, making them all happy. He told Nina that he had justified leaving her and their son because he’d felt they would both be better off without him. Only days after this reveal, Phillip IV, who had been called Chance by his Army buddies and adopted it as his name, returned from Iraq, unexpectedly finding his supposedly dead father as part of his welcome home. Chance's reaction was abnormally calm as he shook his father's hand, saying he was relieved, that dead people never came back where he'd just been. Phillip gave them all some relief by announcing the results of his blood test, that he was not a Huntington's carrier. Chance told Phillip he was not interested in Phillip’s explanation, that Ryan was the only father he ever knew. Chloe Mitchell and Chance began getting to know each other and Chance admitted that he had been discharged from the Army. Chance said he was lonesome for his mother and grandmother and intended to stay. He also confessed he was still a virgin.
