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 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:

Yep. Days keeps shooting themselves in the foot that's for sure. I have no desire to see a Wabi baby, which is pretty much a guarantee that Gabi will be allowed to have her baby. I do resent that they killed off Nicole's baby again just to give a character that has only three years of history on the show a baby.

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.
I get happiness equals boredom for most viewers. But at some point there should be a payoff otherwise what's the point in tuning in? To watch the same overrated characters get their undeserved happy ending.

Watching my favorite character constantly losing the things she wants the most in such a cruel manner has pretty much turned me off to Days completely. Nicole could have just lost Daniel, but taking the baby away from her again is just unforgivable. I doubt things will change with Eric coming, they'll give them a good love story and then she'll do something horrible and he'll turn on her too like everyone else. Days killed all my faith and hope for things to be better the second they murdered Nicole's baby again. Days has pretty much lost my trust for good.

I agree with your thoughts that there should be drama and compelling characters, but I would've preferred to see Nicole finally have a baby. We saw Nicole talk about her baby since March, and while I didn't want to see more baby drama for EJ, I was excited that Nicole was finally going to get to have a baby of her own. Nicole has experienced a lot of hurt (more than most characters), and I think she is due to have some sort of happiness. Given her desire to be a mother, it would've been great to see that finally happen.

I like Gabi right now and don't necessarily think that she doesn't deserve to be a mother over Nicole, but more so, I would PREFER to see Nicole as parent (more so than Will/Gabi).

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
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 disagree that she intentionally set up Jennifer. I think she fell while arguing and on the spur of the moment blamed Jennifer. Given that it was less than 24 hrs Salem time since she had been told her baby was dead, her emotions and hormones would have been going crazy. I'm not saying she is innocent but I think blaming Jennibitch was more the result of shock, resentment and anger and then she realised it was a way to regain Dan so she kept the lie going.

Jennifer has become perhaps the most unlikable character on the show!
I disagree, Rafe and Daniel also fits that bill.

I also hate the way Daniel speaks to Abi as if she's his daughter. Only Jack has the right to do that.

Nicole is still my girl everybody else can f/off! Their hypocritical sanctimonious ho-down does not endear me to a single one. Jennifer harranged a heavily pregnant woman for months causing her undue stress, Dan had sexual relations with her (something a doctor should never do) pushing for the union then subsequently dumped her in favour of the not so grief-stricken widow. Rafe stuck his nose where it wasn't wanted and claimed to be the father without her permission, EJ did lied to her, broke her heart and did exactly what she knew he would, chase after Sami and he did threaten to take her child away. Yes Nicole is her worst enemy but nothing she has done merits what happens at the HH, not by a long shot.

So Jen spent what a night in jail because in her grief Nicole accused her of something she didn't do but has now recanted her story within 24 hrs no doubt. However I will never forget how she treated Nicole months leading up to Nicole's baby being declared dead. So if I am supposed to weep with JenJen over how hard her life is after Jack died, sorry it ain't happening.

Despite his claims to grieving, Sami seems to be his first priority hence the recording of Nic's confession (it's not the worst he's done to her and she's done the same to him) and suggesting she go and confirm with Nicole a mere hours after her baby was stillborn, this was a bit heartless on his part knowing how Nicole feels about Sami, the reason we are swimming in this muck of a storyline to begin with. I will give it to EJ for at least recognising that if he'd never slept with Sami things would be different but his words will mean nothing if throws stones at his ex-wife with the rest of Salem.

Rafe suddenly burdened by a lie he started because Sami is once again a fickle hypocritical cow and Nicole and her drama are keeping him from getting some can parade his single expression to someone who cares. He's acting like she should be ever so grateful he's sacrificed for her...whatever!

Daniel the disgusting dirty doctor, he took the most advantage of an emotionally wrought woman, knowing fully that she was high risk and had EJ Dimera on her heals about the paternity. Why couldn't he be her friend only but no Nicole is just so HOT and her 'legs' go on for miles and are so hard to resist even when she's walking around looking like a whale, as long as he gets some and he did. Now that he has no need for her services, he's remembered Jennifer is the love of his life, spare me with all his self-sacrifice to Hawaii; that selfish pig should have kept it in the pants. She was highly emotional but he didn't care as long as he got what he wanted, screw him and everybody else, incuding Abby who also walks around like her shit don't stink. Nobody's calling her a homewrecker since she was so quick to want to break up Caustin. Lucky for her Austin is an idiot and his wife is a two timing heifer, so no real fallout there.

As far as I can tell Nicole has lost her baby, she's not committed a federal crime. As of now SHE HAS NOTHING AND HAS NOBODY IN HER CORNER. These people will continue with their lives as though nothing has happened, all except Nicole so they can take they hypocrisy and their righteous indignation over the vile evil woman grieving he dead son and choke on it.

From that standpoint Johnny dying from his cancer would have been much more dramatic and then we would have been spared from hearing ejami talk about 'the kids'. It could have been just Sydney, until they could come up with a way to kill her off too.

So Nick and Gabi love each other now? Wow, that was quick.

Don`t you know they have to say that on soaps to be able to sex it ut? It`s the law.
Doesn`t matter that they have known each other for about 5 scenes... ^o)

How the writers can expect viewers to still root for and ship a Sami/Rafi or the Sami/Ej pairings is above me.
All they do is hook up, fuck things up, get back together for a week and fuck it up again....
It`s time to put both pairings to rest. Or to actually put two of them together and make us believe they actually want to be togerher. This is getting above annoying and absolutely ridiculous to watch.


Oh, and one more thing: since when is watching somone who just lost a child for the third time being yelled at and abused, counted as entertainment?

Yeah ... I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. The only thing that caught my eye in a positive way was Marlena and Kristen. Seriously, WTF is up with everyone screaming at Nicole?! 10 seconds of Shawn Christian's "acting" was hilarious and even KM's version of Abigail screaming at Nicole looked pretty bad. Why does Missy Reeves always look old and washed out? I commend those of you who can actually sit and watch this shit because it's awful and it doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon.
Jennifer looks ancient in this promo, like she has just came home from an audition for Miss Havisham. :huh1:
So true. She looks 80-something. Is her hair now gray, or is it just turning up that way on my screen?
She does NOT look good....

And it`s not like we have to watch it a couple of times a week, noooo; we have to watch it every frickin episode!!

:frustration:

(And can they please dress Ali in outfits that is not glued to her body? She can`t breath in those things... It`s not good for her organs. :shame: )

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.
But why would it matter that Nicole arguably wanted to hurt Jen? She didn't succeed, or even come close.

For me, it's just another story where there were a lot of interesting ways to go and they chose the one that makes me scratch my head in confusion.
