While Brady has always been Nicole's good friend, the fact remains that Brady has been "in love" with a lot of different women over the years. And has married none, except Chloe. And got engaged to several.
We do not know how Nicole is going to be written out, but since the actress is leaving the show, it is doubtful either Brady or Eric are going to be "the one".
Brady was dumped by Theresa, and since has seemed to leave the raising of Tate to the Nanny, whoever she is. Don't know why she agreed to extend her stay on the show several weeks, but she did. So Nicole will be around til Nov/Dec.
By the way, the actor, Eric Martsolf (Brady) was asked if there was one thing he would like to change or add to his character of Brady.......He said he would like to UP Brady's I.Q. a few notches. LOL
So....guess the actor is not all that thrilled with all the stupid things Brady has said or done. Ha.
