I guess the baby reveal would have had more impact if for one i had felt bad jen but i dont. Also maybe if jen hadnt spent more than one night in jail before nicole dropped the charges. The only person i see who has suffered at all is nicole who once again lost her baby

I don't think it would have. The story was bad literally from conception. The lie was always stupid and the stakes were never a big deal. It was just a bad story.

If nicole had to loose the baby it would have been very much more impactful had jen really went off the rails crazy and had really been responsible. The who story has been a hot mess since daniel and nicole had sex

Nicole's second baby should have never died to begin with. It would have been much more compelling to see a mother who lost a baby giving birth to a healthy baby boy then watch a woman who's already lost a baby lose another baby then get flogged by the whole town.

Days is just depressing and totally sucks monkey balls.

I'm tired of people trying to give Nicole a free pass simply because her uterus is the consistancy of gravel and her baby died. I'm about ready for someone to whack the bitch in the head with a hammer because I'm about sick of her "oh, poor me" whining.

So assuming that it is after everyone has lined up to have a go at Nicole she decides life isn't worth living, I'm wondering if she actually tries to kill herself using the hospital scalpel she took. If this happens I wonder if Jen or any of those at the house will feel even a little bit guilty. but that's probably hoping too much. Knowing jen, she'll probably have Nicole charged with theft of hospital property!

You mean the hospital property she stole with the intention of stabbing Jennifer with it?

Nicole sure isn't innocent but to act like Jenbitch is the poor little victim we should all feel sorry for is a joke.

Well, in the instince that Jennifer willfully pushed Nicole down the stairs and killed her unborn child, YES, Jennifer IS the victim and THAT is what the reveal is about --- that Nicole LIED. Hell, I doubt anyone will ever find out that it was Nicole who set out to do deliberate physical harm to Jennifer.

Nicole didn't take that scalpel to hurt Jennifer.
From the SOD article about Nicole blaming Jennifer for her baby's death:
Quote:
 
Zucker says that Nicole probably took the scalpel to hurt herself because of her distraught mental state due to the pain she's in.

She did not set out to hurt Jennifer but she was in a horrible state after just learning her baby had died, completely understandable. Instead of screaming at her and throwing stones at her, why doesn't anyone bother to get her help. She was out of her mind with grief, again completely understandable. Someone like that would be in need of some mental help, not punishment, she's suffered enough. And yay, now we get to watch her suffer some more. :sarcasm: FU Days. Posted Image

Well, that's sure as fuck not how it played out on TV. They VERY clearly showed Nicole clutching it in her purse as she argued with Jennifer and then clearly showed her grabbing it as she CHASED her up the stairs.

She may have not intended to hurt Jennifer with the scalpel, but she intentionally went there to set her up for her baby's death. She used her baby's death, while still carrying him, and made it look like Jennifer pushed her down the stairs in hopes that Daniel would come back to her. She went there with a plan. Though Nicole's grief brought me to tears, what she did was despicable. I'm glad her lie is coming out.

I agree that Nicole should've had her baby! I could be wrong, but I can't help but think that Tomlin decided to kill the baby due to the lame, stupid and predictable WABI baby story. :redface:

Gee, I wonder...who's more deserving of being a mother, Nicole or Gabi!?! :angry:

^^Yes, in that moment, when she was fighting with Jenn, she was distraught and angry and she intended to use the scalpel on her. There was no premeditation. She did not take the scalpel from the hospital to use on Jennifer. Yes, she made mistakes, she was wrong to go at Jenn with a scalpel, she was wrong to lie about it, but I personally can sympathize with her. I think a lot of people here can sympathize with Nicole because the loss of a child is such a horrible, traumatic thing to go through. And AZ is such a great actress that she can make some people root for her, sympathize with her, and not look at everything she does in such black and white terms like oh she lied or she went at Jennifer with a scalpel, she must suffer and be punished harshly.

I just don't think the question is whether Nicole "deserves" a baby. This is just not how soaps function. What matters on soaps is what creates the most drama and what creates the most compelling characters. From that standpoint, I think the baby dying was the better soap choice. Call me crazy, but I want my favorite characters to be tortured because it means they are at the center of the drama. And it also means they are experiencing setbacks that make them more compelling. A happy soap character is a bad soap character, so I want my favorites to be miserable about 90% of the time.
