I framed in a shower in a small downstairs bathroom and now am prepping for tiling around and above the shower. There’s a mini stub wall which catches the shower flange on one side. I want to end the tile on the inside (shower side) and continue with drywall on the other side but this presents a dilemma; if I use regular corner bead here, I can’t then use tile nosing, but to use a nosing , I’d have to have backer board underneath, where there is now drywall. So, the question is, should i leave the cornerbead off and simply put the nosing half on backer board, half on drywall or should I remove a strip of drywall and replace it with backerboard? Maybe the simplest solution is to tile the entire stub wall, clear to the wall but I’d like to hear some opinions before I replace drywall with backerboard. Any advice is most appreciated.

Stop the backerboard
just before the transition of tile to painted drywall. Then tile just over the transition. You can tape the joint b/4, mudding to the corner. Finish paint b/4 running that tile. Grout and caulk. Done
Why do you have a problem tiling to cornerbead?
Yep, tile across the transition from backer to drywall. Use moisture-resistant drywall and setting-type mud.
Thanks for that. I'll just finish that corner with paint and then come over it with the 90 deg nosing. Much appreciated.
