LOL, like they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes it is surprising how a couple characters are able to "connect". Of course Rafe has a past, everyone does, and no one's is perfect. Not even Maggie. And since we did not meet Alice until all her children were grown, and she was already a grandmother...hey, who knows about hers? Not that it was anything bad, just that we really don't know, do we?
I like Rafe, he is a good guy, a rarity in Salem, but he admittedly, as a teen, was on the wrong path, til Sister Theresa was able to take hold and put him straight. I am glad he has stuck with his mission. But then, I see stories on TV of detectives who spend years on a case, won't give it up to go Cold Case, and they do solve it.
Nicole just can't possibly think that railroading someone else into prison is the way into Brady's heart. But then, like Sami doesn't seem to care who was behind the kidnapping of Sydney, Nicole doesn't seem to care who was behind the mugging & branding of Brady
