Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
She didn't continually choose Daniel over Eric - Eric spent 12 months telling her he wasn't interested, parading an ex girlfriend he failed to ever even mention in front of her, and then in true Brady fashion ( Sami) the moment she got involved with Daniel was there on her doorstep proclaiming his love for her.

I can kind of see why she didn't think it would work. She has spent a lot of time being told she isn't good enough for Eric and I think she has definitely internalised the message.
You can choose this interpretation if you wish, but that's not how it played out. Once she picked Daniel, she didn't look back and he became her world. And until two months ago, he still was. Eric wasn't on her mind when with Deimos or when she first got Brady either.
Of course he was because they were together for 15 minutes and then he was killed. She built him into something he never would have been because he didn't get the time to stuff things up. Hard to compete with a dead saint.
One could argue that the reason she was so focused on Daniel was because she didn't want to think about Eric as an option.

She's already come out and said she didn't really love Deimos she just didn't want to be sad and alone.

And Abe has come out with the Gratitude rather than Love angle for Brady.

We don't know if she didn't look back and think of Eric because it wasn't shown - we do know at some time he sent her letters and she sent them back - so obviously at some point she was thinking about him it just wasn't shown.

Nicole finds out Eric is in love with her and it changes everything for her? If true kind of verifies she was with Brady for the wrong reason.
It also verifies she doesn't know her own mind or her own heart and lives life on a whim with no true thought to anyone or anything other than satisfying whatever emotional void she has going on at the moment.

I really, REALLY liked this character pre-Daniel but everything since makes me want to hurl.
I agree with you. Nicole has been in love with three other men in the past year, she repeatedly chose Daniel over Eric, was engaged to Deimos and was planning her HEA with Brady 5 minutes ago. I don't buy this sudden turn toward Eric. If Tan came back from the dead next month she would forget about Eric in 10 seconds. She's a joke.
She's fickle!! One of the reasons why I've never liked her character. Goodbye and good riddance!! Eric deserves better, and Brady needs to see a shrink... who knows maybe Kristen will shake things up for him lol!!

Nicole and Eric make plans for the future.
If this is what it sounds like... it's EXACTLY why I put NO stock into new couples... they change partners more often than they change their underwear! And everyone they sleep with is the love of their lives! :rolleyes:

I would say the above comment doesn't really apply to Eric. GV version of Eric has really only been in love with god & Nicole. Outside of actually being with Nicole, he has spent the rest of his time wanting to be with her. His relationship with Serena was a rebound due to Nicole, as was his heartbroken one night stand with Jennifer.

But .....it does to Nicole bigtime. If I wasn't confident GV didn't leave the show I would be betting Eric leaves with Nicole based on the recent storyline. But, Nicole has been flipping thru great loves. I really wish they would have reverted her back to her scheming, money hungry, go get version prior to leaving. I don't enjoy this wishy, washy version at all.

I know I'm alone, but I do believe that Eric loved Serena.
I believe that he loved her in Africa and fell for her again when she came to Salem.
:peek:
I also believe that you never truly get over your first love. I don't care for Eric and Nicole, but I get it. I truly wonder what would have happened if Nicole wasn't leaving the show though.

URGH.....
I just feel as if certain issues and storylines that didn't work under Dena and need to be dropped under Ron are not. I think it's pretty obvious to anyone who has watched the show for the last 1 1/2 years that Sonny & Titan do not work. Frankly, made up Titan nor Basic Black work either. It's time to move away from storyline that has anything to do with this. It didn't work with Deimos & Sonny with a side of Brady, it's not going to work with Brady or Sonny.. I wish they would end this battle for Titan and Victor's affections or loyalty.

I don't think that's correct. We have that spoiler for October 6.

I choose to not accept Dena Higley's version of Nicole/Ericole.

Didn’t she briefly pick Daniel over Jack when he returned? Maybe my memory isn’t what it used to be.

IIRC, Jennifer kept saying she couldn't choose but she clearly favored Daniel all the while treating Jack like dirt. Daniel temporally left town and Jennifer and Jack eventually reunited. Jennifer never seemed to want to be with Jack. The entire storyline played with her favoring Daniel. Jack died and she went right back to chasing Daniel.

MA entire return for that run was a disaster.

Was that Higley era too? That whole storyline was terrible. There was some potential with Jack’s PTSD but that was poorly done, too.

The entire return was a disaster, but I didn't think Jennifer favored Daniel over Jack at all. I actually thought the opposite and was happy about it. She went back to Daniel sooner than I'd have preferred but it wasn't immediate. :shrug:

Sounds like things are gearing up for some excellent episodes.

I love bad Sami. Heroine Sami was a big bust. I foresee lots of huffing and puffing.

Clyde is a great in and out villain. James Read is so good. Hope he causes some trouble while he is in town. I wonder how long he is around.

Much as I loved EJ, I doubt his name will even be mentioned at all. He has been erased. The DiMeras need a true leader and a villain. The family has been sanitized and it has not made the show better. Chad is not a leader nor is he very interesting. Poor Tandre is pitiful.


This arc is all about Will being alive and it will throw Salem into a tizzy. Yay.
Nah, that maybe the case for this arc, but this is so much bigger than measly little
Sami. Thank God.I wouldn't torture myself with her appearance if it wasn't.

I like Jack, but I also think he is a bigger than life charcter. So for me him being on the show doesn't work if it's just about he and Jennifer and the heavy stuff. I felt like MA's return as Jack didn't work because TPTB at the time didn't really know what to do with the character outside of the triangle and eventual reunion with Jennifer. I felt as if MA was brought back to honor the shows history, but that TPTB really didn't truly want the charcter back. With the way this show is written and the charcters it currently chooses to focus on, I really don't believe Jack would be done justice any longer. I do think that having him return as a ghost is effective and enjoy that. I also think that Jennifer doesn't require Jack for me to enjoy her or to have a significant place in Salem, I think Just having Jennifer Horton is enough. I would love for her to have a pairing, but I accept that might not happen again and I am ok with that.

Perhaps I am not in the norm, but I really wasn't interested in having Jack play out a PTSD storyline, I like the lighter conflicted Jack.

It always felt like Jack was the 3rd wheel in Jennifer and Daniels love story. When did she ever favor Jack?

I thought she did the whole time and that Daniel looked silly.
