I just don't undersand the constant kvetching about Nicole's treatment or "annual humiliation". Doesn't this happen with every character with a secret? I mean, how many times was Sami Brady humiliated and exposed infront of the whole town? Why is this different? Wasn't Kristen humiliated twice last year? How about EJ? The whole town (minus Sami, Will and Gabi) treats him like a pariah and throws his misdeeds at him all the time, so why should Nicole be any different? People even treat Theresa worse than anyone and she hasn't done much.
When Sami was being humiliated, she still had someone in her corner. Kristen has the DiMera family, so does EJ. Who does Nicole have? I don't think I would be complaining about this half as much if Nicole still had Brandon or her mother around. Or if the show actually cared about her relationship with Abe.
But mostly, I think people are frustrated because it seems Nicole is never gonna grow as a character. We're gonna see this merry-go-round of lying and being exposed until she's 80 or leaves the show. It's getting old. Some of us want more for her.
I think Daniel will stand by her. He cares about her. At least she will one person in her corner.
Oddly enough, I did believe Daniel last week (or was it longer ago?) when he told Nicole that he genuinely cared about her and THAT was why he couldn't allow her to continue lying about this. Unlike all that tripe Jennifer spewed out today about why she told Eric. I think Daniel will continue to be Nicole's support system. What a bummer because I can't stand Daniel, but I want someone in Nicole's corner.
Why not recast Brandon if Matt Crecendo isn't available. If Jordan can have a brother pop up overnight, and then Paige suddenly materializes, why can't she have a family member, writers? I'd love it if they allowed Abe/Nicole to interact more, especially since he's tied to her past so much.
I shudder at the mere thought of FOUR of Sami's ex lovers on screen at one time!
We all do it, taking up for our faves. It just stinks monkey balls sometimes when a character with no leg to stand on chastises or looks down on another or is deemed holier than holy.
Monkey balls aside <cough>, my bigger problem is I'm just not sure WHO my faves ARE anymore or who TO take up for. Sad, huh?
To be fair, both Kristen and Theresa have trashed talked Nicole too. And Kristen was only too happy to let the everyone think that Nicole was the one who raped Eric. And Nicole's not the only one who slept with members of the same family, Sami slept with two brothers and Kristen's slept with a father and son.
Amen! To call Nicole hypocritical when the rest of Salem does so for worse reasons doesn't make sense to me. Why did she attack Theresa? Because Theresa was going after her friends. Why did she attack Kristen? Because she was actively scheming against John and Marlena using Brady. I know she fell in love with Brady later and wanted a life with him, but by then she had already destroyed herself. Sometimes with Sami it's almost like she's bored and wants to have fun. For example, the upcoming catfight between Sami and Nicole. At this point Sami will know Nicole and Eric broke up. Unless she finds out about the evidence shredding, she has no reason to gun for Nicole other than sheer spite. If she does, its an example of her behavior.
Sami has every right to be angry with Nicole for switching her baby. I never watched that but it's been mentioned in episodes.
Have you ever seen the "smack down" scene between the two of them over that? Seriously, one of my all time favorite whoop ass moments! EPIC! I think awhile back there was a thread of Sami's Best Scenes and that was in there. . . anyone got the link to that? or the scene I'm talking about - the "SAY IT, NICOLE!!" scene!!!!

Sami wouldn't be on screen, so it wouldn't bother me. I would love to see Brandon return.

Why? Nikki's got six and she's doing just fine.
I'd just hope that if Brandon comes back he's wise enough to see though the glittery hoo haa hype.

It's a shame Nicole never got her, "Say it Sami!" moment and whoop ass slap for pigsex with EJ when he was married to Nicole.
Closest we have ever got to a win IMO featuring my personal favourite version of EJ smug bastard EJ.
And possibly my favourite Rafe quote " the only reason you haven't been arrested yet is because you're related to half the police and sleeping with the other half"

Not even close to the glory that was the "SAY IT, NICOLE!" scene

I was saying that was the closest Nicole ever got to winning a Nicole / Sami confrontation.
Nicole was a sitting duck in the "say it Nicole" scenes, she knew it was the end, she knew she had no hope.
But she gets kudos for managing to keep a straight face through all that snorting and huffing and puffing.
" But you had Grace, and EJ had is daughter I thought we could all be happy" :(:( poor Nikki it all makes sense in her head.
