The writers better play up Nicole's pregnancy solo this time. There is ZERO reason for sami to be involved but im guessing she will be. *BARF*

I've always gotten the impression that Nicole is playing Dan, ever since that very focused 'schemer look' that they panned in on a few weeks ago. I'm thinking that something is going to happen to want Dan to tell Ej that he's the father of the baby, but then Nicole blackmails him so he backtracks.


low down shame. what kind of woman offer her pregnant body to man she does not feel anything for just so she can something from him? oh i know prostitutes. at least most prostitutes are not pregnant while doing tricks.

reminds me when she was doing victor for money. i think i had a little more respect for when i thought she was into dan. but selling her body to dan to keep him silent is downright disgusting. for a moment, i thought she was out of the business lol.

Back to the interview itself - Some bad editing in there. What struck me most about this interview was that Ari herself was having a hard time selling Nicole's behavior and motivations. That's not usually the case in an AZ interview, but then Nicole's position right now is pretty impossible to defend. What's interesting also is that she returns to Nicole being self-sufficient, an idea she chatted up in her interviews last Fall. If anything, this last round of Ejole showed us what happens when women ignore that little voice inside them that tells them the guy's not right for them. It seems Nicole has now learned that lesson, at least for the foreseeable future. AZ's evasive about the longterm role of Rafe or Daniel in Nikki's life, but then we do know that Eric's on the horizon so that fits also. Finally, AZ seems as resigned as the rest of us do to Nikki using the baby to get back at EJ.

I think it started as playing to get Dan to change the tests for her, but now with the vulnerability they're playing it with Daniel opening up about his wife, Nicole surprised he didn't abandon her in the middle of the night it's not playing anymore.

Trying to keep EJ's child from him and put him in jail is a lot more than just keeping away because she's hurt. She's trying to punish him vindictively.


yes. nicole is using this child as weapon against ej just like she did with fake baby. no one can blame ej when he takes his child away from that woman. she made her bed with both rafe and dan in it...

I am really glad to hear that Nicole is still very much in love with EJ but obviously hurt, that makes sense. I am even more glad that Daniel doesn't seem to be anything more than a means to an end, that makes sense it's so Nicole but it's too unpalatable for my liking. I can see why this thing with rafe is just friendship because they were cheated on, that makes sense but sexing Daniel.....urgh and falling for him, THAT doesn't make sense! Things will change on this front, I want it sooner rather than later.

Nicole has a goal in mind and let's remember all her plans usually never succeed and that is a precedent right there for this 'keep the baby from EJ'. Whatever stupid ass thing is happening with EJ and Sami, I suspect it will spill over to Nicole and the baby once we get closer to childbirth. EJ will be left with nothing, after the zillionth humiliation and Nicole as always will be there for him no matter how much she protests or denies her feelings.She cares and loves that man too much to be free of him and with the baby coming soon her fate will always be tied to EJ Dimera he said so himself. Before MarDar screwed them EJ had finally realised her worth and was doing everything in his power to keep her close to him. I wouldn't be surprised if TomSell double back to that time were EJole were perfectly insync, however long it takes.

AZ brings out the best in JS's acting abilities.
I like Ari, but I disagree. I think this last round of Ejole had some of the worst acting I've seen from each of them. They seemed very unengaged from their story.
OMG with the fucking Tickle Me Elvis........ :puke:
I loved the tickling. As a JS fan, it was wonderful to hear the actor laugh. Glad Ari gave us that little treat.
That pretty much sums up why I had an issue with it...because it always played much more like James and Ari goofing around rather then EJ and Nicole. I have no issue with the actors getting along and enjoying working together - no matter which actors we're talking about. But I do have a problem when it makes it difficult for them to stay in character and basically takes them out of the scene.

Shows you how well they act together. It is so natural that it looks like you are watching a real life couple. That you yourself think that it is James and Ari you are seeing and not EJ and Nicole.It is not only the ticklish scenes that I get that impression of naturalness. It is all of their scenes. It is llike they are not acting. It is real. That is why I find them so thouroughly entertaining no matter whether they are loving, fighting or tickling. James seems to bring his A game when he is in scenes with Ari.

While I'm waving my Ejole flag from the shorelines because of my irritation with the couple's untimely, uncalled for demise, I'll readily admit James and Ari do have a natural chemistry. To date, the snowbound scenes were undoubtedly some of the best scenes for EJ/Nicole. Of course, things went south quickly after that. What a pity.....They were so damned good together......Well, let me clean up my spilled milk and try to continue...... :(
Ari has always had a good take on Nicole's actions and that's why she plays her so damned well. Nicole is NOT in love with Daniel or Rafe even though shitty MarDar wielded their poisonous pens trying to force it. It's an UTTER disgrace what they did with Nikki's story. Attention MarDar: :blah: THIS RIDICULOUS NICOLE/DANIEL/RAFE PLOT POINT IS A MAJOR REASON WHY VIEWERS ARE LIVID. :flipoff:
Don't know what the future holds for Nicole, but I hope that her story is much better than the one that the idiotic MarDar handed down.

Ari does have a handle on how Nicole is feeling and she has certainly sold me on Nicole since she joined in 08/09. I never gave two shits about Nicole or Ari until this stint - now she is my favorite.

What Mar/Dar did was raise the issue of what happens when a woman ignores all the warning signs that says the guy's not really into her or not good for her. Mar/Dar didn't "screw" with Ej and Nicole. When they came on board, EJ and Nicole hated each other and were divorcing. He'd just had the tawdry affair with Taylor and she'd just left him on the floor to die after a brain seizure. Really, if anything, Mar/Dar gave ejole fans months of love scenes. But the warning signs were there, right from the beginning, that Nikki was EJ's second choice and he was settling for her so that he could have the family he so desperately wanted. What the future holds is anyone's guess, but it's also possible that Nikki's still running her baby daddy scheme when the baby's born, whenever that is.

It's pretty clear that Nikki's not being written as being in love with either Daniel or Rafe. Daniel's a way to pass the time since he shares her enthusiasm for sex. Rafe's a different story. Nikki and Rafe both licking their wounds since they blindly shut their eyes on who the people were they were involved with.

Let's hope Nicole's learned her lesson and wises up, but it's a soap, and the chances of that are about 50/50.

Dan and Nicole are just a filler SL IMO. MarDAr have been effective in screwing up every couple since they got hold of the reigns to rule the show. Just another attempt to make another Salem woman look shallow and fickle. Nicole needed a SL outside all this EJ murder suspect crap and Dan and Rafe just happen to be free, instead of fired.

What MarDar has done is provide viewers with ridiculous, far-fetched crap that means absolutely nothing/has done tremendous damage to the show.
And that's the beef that I'm frying in my skillet right now. And its as charred up/fried up as hell. IF MarDar wanted Ejami, they didn't have to drag Nicole, Lucas, Rafe, Carrie, Austin, etc. into this six-year long, redundant odyssey. MarDar should have just wrote the shit and been done with it. But, no, in the process, fans have had to endure some of the most lame, disastrous, outlandishly in-proportionable pairings in the history of Salem: Dicole, Caustin, NicoRafe, Cafe, etc. And that shit ain't right, no matter how you slice/par the watermelon. If MarDar wanted to live the Ejami dream, they shoud've lived it. No point in taking the rest of the characters to the dungeon because of it.
And MarDar would never get any credit from me for raising issues about anything. If anything, there are a lot of issues that they blatantly overlooked---and those shall remain unnamed.
Ari is a champion at interviews. Like most of the DAYS stars, she has a true handle on her character. But, one thing I did sense was that even Ari realizes that she got played. Now, the light has been shed that MarDar didn't have Nicole's best interest at heart.

Rafe knew exactly what Sami was really like,loved her anyway,protected her and ddi everything for her.What did he get in return?

She treated him lke crap since he resigned to protect her and had sex with the man who KIDNAPPED,TORTURED AND TRIED TO MURDER HIM,the man who kidnapped her baby and made her believe was dead,the man who raped her...what does it say about her so called love for her husband?What woman in love with her bhusband could have sex with the man who harmed both,her husband and herself ,so much?

I am in no way convinced, as are you, that Mar/Dar wanted Ejami. I do think the directive came from the network after the ratings came in for the grief sex. The first time we see any indication that the story might go toward Ejami was during the February grief sex reveal with the way the scenes were staged.

The only couple I'm convinced they intended to dismantle was Safe. They brought Caustin back with the intention of dabbling in Cafe. Racole became plotpoint, and Dikki supplied both actors with something to do while other characters were being written off. But as far as the viability of EJole, the writing was on the wall for what would happen to them right at the point they began round 3.
