on herself. I have to agree with asking why she would not have thoroughly investigated this goofball instead of just taking his word. Evidently, this guy’s mental breakdown is public record, so Nicole once again reacted without using her "journalistic" head, which seems to be empty where Serena is concerned. Now, I suppose we’ll have to watch her walking around talking to herself for not looking before she leaped. I cannot imagine AZ being happy with this degradation of her character. I’m pretty sure Dan will drop her like a bad habit now. Nicole may not be the most pathetic character on the show right now, but she’s certainly in the top three. Theresa and Eve hold the first and second spots for me.
