and I just have to smdh over it. I know she had a rough time when she was a young girl, but she has learned nothing from her mistakes, and that’s been Nicole’s problem …. forever. I adore AZ, but Nicole is ridiculously pathetic. Now that these writers have decided to have her walking around Salem talking to herself, she looks even more ridiculous. Yes, she cares for Daniel and if she would let the guy breathe and give him the space he asks for, I’m sure he would see her differently. She knows he cares about her, but he’s right about her not being able to stay out of Eric’s face, and she keeps proving him right over and over again. If she doesn’t take a step back from Daniel, I can see him dropping her completely once he learns what’s happening to Jenn and her kids. Poor, sad, ridiculously pathetic Nicole is really getting on my nerves. I’m embarrassed for her practically on a daily basis.
