Well, yes, everyone involved with the "Daniel is the love of my life" bullshit has a lot to make up for. I don't mind lots of angst and suffering, I just don't want Nicole to have to grovel. She spent a year apologizing to the entire damn town so I'm not interested in another long-term apology tour. I really hope they write his return well. If TPTB had any sense they'd give us a nice, slow burn full of angsty twists bringing them back together! And they'd destroy the "Daniel is God" theme at the same time 😊 |

Agreed! I have no need for groveling. But lots of suffering will work just fine! And only to serve Ericole's story, not just for grins and giggles. |

I definitely want lots of angst and suffering and those smoldering looks and breathless moments - I just don't want the repeat of Nicole thinking she's not good enough, apologizing, etc. |

If anything, it will be Eric thinking he's not good enough and blaming himself all the time. I hope they have a heart to heart about WHY Nicole actually chose Daniel over Eric...(he was a safe choice and could give her an immediate family and security she has always wanted. She forced herself to push down her feelings for Eric so long that she actually made herself believe Dan was the love of her life.) BUT something has to happen to make Nicole see Daniel in a different light and that he was just as manipulative and controlling as all of the rest of these men she speaks of while forcing her to see Eric is NOT like any other man! Maybe Nicole won't be so thrilled at Daniel not telling her that he froze her eggs and implanted Chloe to be a surrogate because it started a crazy Deimos on a possessive warpath to harm the child and make it his own? Maybe that super Dan armour can be cracked if Nicole ever found out that Serena bugged Eric's confession to the priest and told Dan to keep it a secret...only for Dan to use it as leverage to manipulate Nicole into "telling him the truth" about what happened in the furnace! (NEVER LETTING THAT GO :redface: ) Maybe Nicole will remember what it was like to have the door slammed in HER face by Daniel 1.5 million times? Daniel's haylo MUST BE DESTROYED so that Nicole can get out of this Daniel was the Greatest Man/God that ever lived and the love of my life! And if Deimos turns out to be partly responsible for Daniel's death, allowing Eric to get out of jail....well that's just icing on the cake! Gotta do some damage control, right? It's a messy story, but along with high risk comes high rewards...if done right! A "Save the Best for Last" story is what I'm ultimately hoping for with Eric and Nicole. :cloud9: Edited by AmbernOK, Sep 29 2016, 10:52 PM.

I really want Days to write them as taking their time. I want a story like the old days of taking weeks to get together. Building up to the relationship, just thinking about each other. I'm so sick of this shit of "slam, bam, thank you mame, and then she's pregnant right away. I want a Eric/Nicole baby, but I just want a good love story. Give me a story like SB did for Cruz/Eden and I'll be thrilled.

Agreed. If the only way we could have Nicole on the show was to have her as a stand-in for Daniel, who never did anything but pontificate on the wonder that was Daniel and change out the decorations on his shrine, then I wouldn't want Nicole on the show. In a meta-sense, I'd like an apology as a viewer for being subjected to Daniel and Danicole. But as far as Eric goes, Nicole really doesn't have any reason to apologize. She had the right to choose Daniel over Eric even though Daniel was inferior in every way: loves her less, treats her worse, has less history, It would be nice to see Daniel knocked off his pedestal but I don't foresee that ever happening, since the one thing upon which every one of the past dozen writing teams agreed was Daniel's unremitting perfection. (I'm still amazed that he ever left.) I would like an acknowledgement from Nicole that even though Daniel was objectively perfect and his death is the greatest tragedy to ever befall humanity, Eric is still the love of her life and she chose Daniel out of fear. I don't want to see Eric groveling or pursuing Nicole relentlessly, either, though. On a show full of stalkers, he's someone who is capable of saying "I respect your choice" like a grownup. He had six months of pining followed by four months of teary self-loathing followed by eight months of prison, so I feel like ongoing groveling would be overkill. I'd rather see Eric politely tell Nicole that he'll get on with his life and let her get on with hers... and see how well that works out. Spoiler alert: they'd end up constantly thrown together and slipping into old habits despite their mutual intention to ignore each other. |

So happy about this news! As much as I was a big Ericole fan and definitely want them back together eventually, a few things have to be clarified. First, Eric & Jennifer need to have a heart-to-heart conversation about their one-night stand and maybe develop a good friendship, if only to have Nicole squirm with envy and realize that "Saint" Daniel was NOT the love of her life. This has to be established once and for all, so there will never be a mention of his name EVER AGAIN! |

I think Ericole's baby will bring them together. I've convinced myself that Chloe is pregnant with their baby. Doctor Dan could have removed the batter with plans to replace it with his and Nicole's batter at a future date, but there was a mix-up or Dan had Nicole's eggs removed while she was recuperating after the Furnace of Love and he deposited his sperm, but Kristen destroyed Dan's sperm and replaced it with Eric's because she's so crazy she has samples from many men, LOL! Why hang on to Dan's ghost when Eric is alive and well and soon to be back in Nicole's life? Can anyone else pitch a storiy or stories that would cause Ericole's baby to be inside Chloe's "oven"? |

I agree that with Eric coming back, it makes a lot more sense to have the baby be his, if it's going to be Nicole's. I honestly can't think of a way to do it with any kind of plausibility, but when has that stopped them? They can do whatever they want with any kind of weird retcon to change parentage of a baby. Remember mime sex for Bo and Hope? They could do it with the Furnace of Love. Show that Eric and Nicole did have sex and she got pregnant, and then the embryo was stolen by ... Daniel? Deimos? Kristen? when she was in the hospital. When Daniel and Nicole froze their embryos, that one got mixed in by mistake. They could retcon a drunken hookup, right before Eric went to jail, that they both wanted to forget. Then Nicole got pregnant but didn't realize it. But someone else did (Deimos?) and had the embryo taken out. Or, like you say Kristen could have saved some of Eric's sperm just in case she wanted it later. She's a Dimera, she might implant Chloe with Eric and Nicole's baby just for shits and giggles. Serena? She could have been paid for some of his sperm? (Ew!) Those are my best shots. LOL.

I wonder how soon we can expect to have some Eric mentions? I could really use a few right now to get me through. Or a flashback. I could REALLY use a flashback. I know we probably won't get that, I'm just saying I could use one. Or two. Or a million. Maybe November...maybe a mention in November. And is it January yet? |

At this point it's all just a countdown until we get to see the pretty pretty man back on our screens. For me, anyway. :wub: |

And maybe Eric is the father of Nicole's baby who Chloe is carrying! Or he'll come back a different kind of father... |

I'd love him being the father of that baby, but I'm not betting on it. I'd also be fine with him going back to the priesthood, but I don't think that is where they are going either. And also we're into the double digits! It's going to be a long 3 months and approximately 10 days. |

That's pretty much how I feel about Ericole, it probably would have worked long ago, when he first came back even maybe up to the point the were locked up fry together, She made choices, he made choices, I don't even want them to try to go to each. I really love Greg Vaughan as Eric Brady I thought the Jen one night fling thing was interesting or maybe Bianca. That girl really has a ton of potential. I sort of thought Ximena Duque was done al but I enjoyed watching her this week away from Rafe . (BTW Not a fan of Hope with either present candidate sort of sick of watching her just like many others) I hope days sees fit to keep her Bianca around for longer term to tell a part of this taleand I really love how little days is telling us about the coming and goings of people. I enjoy my soap when it's full of surprises, so you usually won't find me reading the spoilers |

What about this scenario? I've already kind of thought maybe Chloe and Eric slept together, who knows when or how. Maybe they met at the club she sang at, maybe he went to see her after killing Daniel. Anyway, Chloe realizing that she's pregnant with Eric's baby would explain why she wouldn't want to tell anyone, especially Nicole. She knows it would hurt her. What if, eventually, Chloe makes a huge sacrifice and essentially lets Nicole adopt her baby and Nicole and Eric raise the baby together. Chloe doesn't feel like she can raise two kids on her own and she knows how much Nicole has always wanted to be a mother. She would know that Eric and Nicole would be great parents. It's kind of crazy but very soapy. :) |
