Father Matt

and that he got him a possible photographer’s job, but you can tell in his heart that he wants Eric to continue his work in the church, and being a priest is at the top of his wish list …. as I believe it is Eric’s. That’s why I’m so torn with this storyline between him and Nicole. I don’t want to see him give up the priesthood for her, but that’s just me I guess. I don’t blame Marlena for being doubtful of her interests in saving Eric — I have them myself. I know there are many who want to see this great love between Eric and Nicole blossom into this renewed love affair, but not me. GV is doing such a wonderful job of his portrayal of Father Eric and brilliantly shows how torn he is between his love for God and the Church, and the feelings he may still have for Nicole when he thinks of her being with another man. I think if she would stay in that rectory and continue to suppress her feelings for him, he would be fine with that, but that’s not likely to happen. Yeah, I know, I want to have my cake and eat it too, but that’s the way I see it.
