If there is anyone who should understand Nicole, it's EJ. He's done some pretty devious things in his times (yep, criminal things) as well. The problem this time is that he is the recipient this time instead of it being someone else. That's what makes this baby storyline so mindboggling at times. EJ yacks all the time about truth and honesty. :blah: I have one word for that: ridiculous. TPTB are so all about plot points that it's pathetic. TPTB know that Nicole will be offscreen while AZ is on maternity leave so now it's time for them to return EJ to his "Sami faze". He's got to do all these heroic things to prove that he isn't "bad". Like saving Rafe for instance. What does that mean? Nothing if you ask me. It hasn't been that long ago since EJ ordered a hit on Phillip to blow him to smithereens. Too bad they didn't have EJ in his "heroic" state in those episodes. There have been lots of times where EJ has taken advantage of situations and twisted them to suit his purpose all in the name of "love". But, you know what? I still love EJ anyways. It just means that I'm not going to overlook his misdeeds anymore than I'm going to overlook Nicole's. I don't condone Nicole's behavior for one minute. But, if rotten tomatos are going to be tossed her way, they need to aim some at a few of the other Salemite's heads. Yep, time to make them pay too (I don't think that some of them have paid for all their misdeeds such as sister kidnapping, paternity switching, etc). Nicole is one bad ass chick and keeps me glued to the tube. I wouldn't change a thing about the character. That's the same way I feel about EJ. Let him be EJ Dimera. But, if there are two skunks in the pasture, I'm not going to call one a skunk and the other one a cat. EJ/Nicole are both cut from the same cloth and that's what made the EJ/Nicole pairing work for me in the first place. They didn't have to live by the rules or apologize for what they were. They were two rockin' bad asses who revived my interest in DAYS. The only winning thing in this story for me has been the performances by JS and AZ and their sizzling pairing. They are simply divine together. IMO, the biggest criminal thing in this story is the destruction of EJ/Nicole. :soapbox: It's rare these days in daytime to find two characters that have chemistry and just have that perfect fit. That my friends is the biggest crime of daytime. But, thanks to JS for views about this storyline. I just have to chuckle that, even after months of being off the board, the whole debate continues.... I really agree with a lot of this post. The three of them...EJ, Nicole, and Sami....would be pot calling kettle black on calling anything on the other. Personally, I honestly think James Scott and Arianne Zucker brought out the best in acting with each other, and I'm going to miss that. They seemed to pull it off with no rehearsals better than Jame Scott with others. I'm just not sure about the loving EJ stuff, though. I honestly don't know. I think I will be disappointed if they throw him in the glitter twilight of Sami's aura once again so quickly just because they share a couple of kids. And, yeah, I'm still one of those demented people who hope that Nicole gets Sydney back, even though that won't happen, since she's not one of the "blessed" ones. She just works SO well with those babies!! I'm so going to miss that chemistry.

If Sami were held accountable for every destructive thing that's she's done, she wouldn't have that little brood running around her penthouse. Let's not forget how she kidnapped (yes I did say kidnapped) Belle, got John hooked on drugs, drugged Austin, etc. Yep, she sounds like a fit parent alright. Dear Samanther has a few little things niggling in her past. Yet, now she's running around like she's mother of the year or something. And EJ? (Sorry bud, I got to talk about you too :shrug: ) Heck, EJ is Salem's latest drug kingpin. Put a hit out on Phillip. Had Stephanie kidnapped. Sounds like Daddy material to me. It just goes back to what I mentioned earlier. Hypocrisy is spattered all across this storyline. There is not one innocent person in all of this except for Sydney. It's time for Mia and Sami to realize that they both gave up their babies. Mia sold hers and Sami was trying to keep her baby away from EJ even though Johnny was sleeping soundly under his roof day/night. I'd :hail: bow to TPTB if they were to make Sydney Nicole's baby. However, I doubt the writers have that much creativity. So my answer is this. If Sami/EJ/Mia can go on and live happy lives, so can Nicole. Besides, most don't want Sydney to be Nicole's simply because she will have a child with EJ. That's a fact. But, Nicole should have a baby not because of EJ but because that is her only chance of having one and she adores little Sydney. Well, unfortunately, those things (and how can we forget about Stan and the Black Glove?) are swept under the rug, probably because they were done by different writers, except for the drug kingpin part. I don't see how what Nicole has done can possibly be crazier than a woman being talked into dressing as a guy and getting a rubber mask (talked into it by a voice on the phone) and do all the crap she did. What Stami did to John was horrible. That was some crazy shit, that. But, different writers can make that disappear. But, I guess, if you think about it, Lexie shouldn't be a doctor, either, because of her taking Zach. Hey, maybe in a future life, Nicole will become a neurosurgeon. :D (Actually, I guess Lexie shouldn't be a doctor because she doesn't know when people are dead!)

Rafe's little comment about not knowing if Sydney is Sami's baby on today's show made me think even more that it is possible (I know he was just talking about investigators and the police not knowing), but just the way he worded it was really weird. Plus the whole toothbrush thing to do the DNA test and the fact that Nicole was staying there during that time. The only thing is if she turn out that she is Nicole's, where is Sami's baby?

Wouldn't that mean Grace is really Sami's baby? I guess is possible if Nicole thought the babies were switched, but they really weren't. Rafe did conduct DNA tests though. That line that EJ said about whether Sami really is her figure really did stick out to me, too.

The ONLY way that Sydney could be Nicole's is if Dr. Baker was tending to HER baby at the time of the baby switch. There were only four people in that room: Nicole with Mia's baby and Dr. Baker with the other baby. So if he didn't have Sami's baby, then where is it? If Nicole actually has her own baby, if Sami had her own all along (who died), then the only baby missing would be Mia's. And I doubt very highly that out of all the people involved in this storyline, Mia would be ending up with a baby again, and that Sami would be put through another huge loss just for Nicole to be rewarded and redeemed. I think that this scenario would make many viewers most unhappy. Edited by daisy132, Nov 28 2009, 02:12 PM.

Actually, it would be interesting to find out just about many "many" is. Certainly would be a new twist to things.

Maybe Stefano has her hidden in the dungeon or something? I would actually like it if Grace was Sami's baby, and Mia's kid is out there somewhere so Mia and Chad sail off into the sunset to go find her. Oh, and LOL about "most viewers" being unhappy with Nicole getting a baby. From what I can read, most people have been sympathetic to Nicole over EJerk and Sami who has so many kids she can't keep up, and SuperRafe! I think it would kick ass and be a huge twist! Go Sydole!

I have to disagree. From my understanding of what I've read, people are sympathetic towards Nicole as one would be towards a disturbed person who did the horrible things in the name of love. They go to jail for life, but their motive was pure in their disturbed mind. There is no way she should be rewarded with anything. The whole basis for this storyline when it comes to her character, is that she did everything for the dream of "everything she ever wanted" that she thought she had with EJ, which was all based on a lie, and that if she told him about losing their baby she would "lose everything". She hurt a lot of people for her dream, including EJ, the man he professes to love. She is portrayed as someone emotionally and mentally unstable, and she has been portrayed that way from the beginning, starting with the Film Noir. I like Nicole's character, but she cannot be rewarded this time. Maybe in the future, with another miracle baby with someone else, but not in this storyline. Sami doesn't have any more kids than Marlena did, I think that those who don't want Sydney to be hers are those who don't want her with EJ. JMO :shrug: And as for Mia ending up with a baby - I don't see it, she's a teenager, I don't think that she'll be the one ending up with one, and Sami left to mourn the loss of a child - again.

You said what I wanted to say about "Most viewers". Rock on! I honestly think many people wouldn't feel this way if it wasn't for AZ's many-layered acting. She just knocked it out of the ballpark.

As to why people are sympathetic towards Nicole, it could go either way.Love your comment about the fanbase wars! I'm sick of those. Why can't characters be seen as individuals rather that smushed names?

If they could throw a little badass into Brady, I'd be all for it. They probably have that as an option once AZ returns.

Posts: 1,440 Group: Elite Member Member #3,298 Joined: December 30, 2008 Favorite Current Daytime Soap Opera DAYS	Brady doesnt love Nicole as is! He has always wanted her to do the right thing, follow the "Brady" way. All Bradys want that for their significant others. That fine if you're a character thats good, but not Nicole! I just really want Nicole to have Sydney. She was the one that taught her that there are people that can love you regardless- unconditional love! Thats what Nicole's had with Sydney and she's fighting in any way possible to keep hold of that love! Whats even sadder is that EJ had has that love in his children (and Nicole) and takes it for granted. IA that EJ would have been perfect for Nicole. Nicole never asked him to stop seeing your "digusting family,' like Sami did. She was there with him through her fathers kidnapping and everything else. They would have been a formidable couple against the goody-goody SAFE! But EJ's in my doghouse and I really dont want to see him right now with Nicole. He needs to see the lengths Nicole went for his love and not throw it in her face. I want Nicole alone with baby Syd. She said she could raise her by herself and thats what she should do! GO SYDOLE!
