See this is where I disagree KathyLu. I agree Nicole is very complex, but I think up until the moment where the writers pulled this incomprehensible 180, Nicole HAD changed. She was using her more devious side for the greater good, to sneakily get Chyka, to sneakily get Eric to let her help him, etc. Then after months of putting herself in danger and being overjoyed to finally find the evidence she destroyed it. It really makes no sense and I'm sad to see how many people are saying that this makes Marlena's inappropriate behavior appropriate and that they hope Marlena proves Nicole is up to no good. I hope the writers don't destroy Nicole and Daniel's friendship along with everything else they are destroying in this s/l.
