Take a look in the mirror Daniel.

Daniel is the one responsible for ruining his relationship with Nicole. Like I said before, he said if he felt she wasn't over Eric that would be it. It came down to his perception and not what she really felt. He didn't even give it a chance with her.

Also, it was Daniel's pressure (leave Serena alone) and demands (stay here with me instead of doing your job) that had Nicole go back and forth in deciding to follow the lead and then doing it in such a hurried manner. Daniel expected Nicole to be at his beck and call as if she had no career at all.

Had Nicole gotten to sit down and look through those files I think she would have still found something. Nicole would have searched other files after finding the Edward one because she would have still been suspicious.

I'm tired of the men in Nicole's life accusing her of things she didn't do and excoriating her over it; then expecting and requiring her forgiveness and being unwilling to forgive her when she does do something wrong.

And, even when the truth does eventually come out, it's not like they'll have Eric and Daniel tripping over each other to apologize to Nicole.

And I hope she makes them wait and beg before she forgives them.

I hope she gives them both the shaft.

Well, I for one hope she does not forgive Daniel or Eric. What they both did today was cruel. They both know Nicole is fragile on some levels (she is also strong, but still...), and yet, they played on that and made her feel like the worst person in the world. In that sense, Eric was the worst. Telling Nicole she would never be as good as Serena was a very, very low blow. These men deserve nothing from Nicole, anymore, except her total lack of interest in whatever happens to the both of them. So I say : go Serena, you hurt Eric badly. And Daniel : Go back to Jennifer and be her lap dog ! You all deserve each other and Nicole is way, way better than all of you put together, since she at least has a heart.

I can't believe I once rooted for these two to be together. TPTB certainly know how to ruin any couple I root for. It all went downhill when Daniel felt the need to inform Jennifer of his plans to date Nicole before they started doing so. It got progressively worse when Daniel started handing out threats of a breakup if he so much as thought that she was still hung up on Eric. Oh, never mind the fact they just had sex at that point. He never seemed into her like she was with him and to me he came across like he was just waiting for any excuse to end things, waiting for her to screw up, in his eyes, so he would have an easy out. What a pig.

What annoys me is Nicole practically begging Daniel to forgive her. He's not worth it! What happened to the strong, independent Nicole? Honestly the way he was acting today, I wouldn't even want Jennifer near him.

I do think both of these men, especially Eric, will be eating a lot of crow very soon because Serena is just getting started.

Sparkster: After reading your post, it wouldn't surprise if Nicole ended up pregnant just as Eric learns the truth about Serena and just as Dan-Jen reconcile for the 10 millionth time.

I'd be OK with another spawn of that oompa-loompa if it meant Nicole could carry a baby to term.

Daniel is slime. He assumes that Serena has done nothing to Nicole, even though Serena's been a serpent to her at every turn. (Again, stupid Nicole for not recording any of it.) He should believe her because, supposedly, they have a real relationship.

I was over this storyline the minute it began. Why does Eric have to be in town? Everyone all over social media thinks he's a boring, sanctimonious, hypocritical twit! After he learned of the paper-shredding, he should've been reinstated at the Vatican and just stayed there. Serena is a dull character with a dull storyline who continues to bash Nicole over and over again. We could've seen more interesting storylines with the vets instead of this crap! And Daniel & Nicole 2.0--what a letdown! This proves my point that she'd be better off with Rafe.

I never did like Nicole with Daniel, and today just proves my point. Daniel always acts so superior and self-righteous towards her, and I do not like him when he is acting this way or want him with anyone.

I also can't believe I ever really liked Eric. I still believe he needs therapy after what happened to him with Kristen, but that does not give him any right to treat Nicole the way he does, even if she did shred the evidence that would have allowed him to go back to the priesthood. As others have said, he deserves everything Serena throws at him.

I agree with you Jen. I'm still hopeful Eric can be redeemed with therapy of some sort. He clearly has some unresolved issues that date further back than the Kristen rape.

Amen. To paraphrase a line from the old film, Love Story, being Daniel Jonas means never having to say you're sorry. As for the clueless, sour, sanctimonious Eric Brady, the less said the better. The viewers need a break from these two. McScruffy needs to go on another one of his lengthy surfing trips (sorry, egg-mommy) and Eric needs to vanish down the Salem memory hole

That has been my thought for some time now, Heather. (Great minds....)

She'll forgive them - and I want her to. Why? Because it shows she's the bigger and better person than they are. That's what she does. She makes mistakes but she still has a heart of gold, right? That's why we've come to like her, and stand up for her. It's really not fair what's happening to her, and the writers need to stop making her their punching bag when it comes to relationships and babies.

Eric is a sanctimonious arse, Daniel is a vacuous stupid-head, and Rafe? Considering he's still in love with Jordan, and I think he could still fall prey to falling into bed with Kate, I don't think he's a good choice for Nicole either. I respect Brady too much for those two to be together, and I like them better as friends anyway. So, they shouldn't be together either. We need new blood for Nicole, or we need her to just be a single floating around newsperson for awhile who gets some interesting juicy story and that occupies her time (and it has something to do with the others around Salem, so that she doesn't completely disappear because we like her).

There's nothing wrong with having a strong single female character around - that's what I was hoping for with Hope with Bo being gone, but they never really let us have that. They gave us Aiden, and you know the rest.

Caroline is a strong, single female character. Granted, she is barely on the soap anymore.

I think Rafe and Nicole should get together a few months down the road. He despises Kate now that he knows the truth about everything with Jordan, so no way would he sleep with her. BUT, I do think his feelings for Jordan would get in the way if he were to start dating Nicole right now.

I think the end game for Nicole's love life will be Eric...after finding out about whatever Serena is up to and a bit of groveling and asking her forgiveness, Nicole will take Eric back. As for Daniel and Nicole- they have never really worked for me as a couple.

Daniel and Eric are SO perfect they could start their own cult religion....

Daniel never looks in the mirror. If Nicole had told this loser that he couldn't be involved in Jen's problems he would have broken up with her for trying to control him and doubting his greatness.

Nicole has become so pathetic that I don't remember why I like her in the first place.
