In spite of Nicole’s stupid blunders, I saw on MONDAY that Eric and Nicole actually discussed the fact that she encouraged him to MAKE SURE of his professed commitment to her. (I saw this more than once, in other episodes). AFTER talking with the church HE CHOSE NICOLE. Eric and Nicole actually discussed it on MONDAY. In the middle of the conversation with the other priest, in an earlier episode, Eric abruptly said he knew God meant him to be with Nicole, or words to that effect. He could have done church things in other ways, if he were so devoted, as someone else said. Sure, afterward, Nicole found and shredded the evidence, etc., but I maintain that part of this fiasco IS ERIC’S fault, too. In my opinion, Eric and Jennifer can be together with their sanctimonious, judgmental, and holier-than-thou attitudes; and let Nicole and Brady (or Daniel) lead normal lives, flaws, imperfections, and all.
Wait a minute. Eric is angry because Nicole didn’t give him the choice to stay in the priesthood, and now he will be with Jen???? There is no reason why he cannot return to the church. They released him from his vows, however now that there is proof of Kirsten’s deception, he can return to the church. If he is so concerned that he never got to choose– now he can!!!
And I agree, that Eric professed that he had made his decision and there was nothing left to say, so he is responsible for some of this. All through this relationsip, he has constantly made compromises– married in the church, no pre marital sex, etc and always gave in so he did make his own bed!!!
You get it; very few people do. I was wondering if there is intelligence out there on planet earth, lol. Nice job. (Seriously, you have my respect.)
Thanks for your support, Brandy!!
I do think that Nicole is her own worst enemy, however, Eric did contribute. He went to speak with a advisor and decided this was God’s will. Nicole started to tell him when he interrupted to say he had made his decision.
I feel that despite her strong independent appearance, she suffers from very low self esteem. I think it is because of what her father did to her with the teen porn. She secretly doesn’t believe she is worthy of love, especially someone as good as Eric. Everyone she loved, Brady, Daniel, EJ has always ended badly. Brady wanted Chloe, Daniel wanted Jen and EJ was consumed with Sami. Eric’s love was the church, even though Nicole was his first love, he chose to leave her.
This is why she couldn’t tell him, cause she knew she would lose again. She has no confidence that she would ever win, even though Eric told her he picked her, she knew she was his second choice.
but knowing the way Eric has been portrayed my guess is he will decide he has “broken” his priestly vow of abstinence, at the very least, and choose not to return to the Church. And also possibly he may decide that the Church didn’t want to help him anyway, they just wanted him to go away and take the “embarrassment” with him.
Eric did make his choice. But because of Nicole it was not a completely informed choice. It was more resigned to the fact that this is how it is going to have to be. And I think that the LIE is what Eric won’t be able to get past. Not whether he may have made a different choice if he knew but that she knew and hid it from him. Seriously, how can you do that to someone whose very reputation is on the line. Not his vocation but his REPUTATION, which is a very difficult thing to get back once it has been taken from you. And Nicole made sure he would not redeem his good standing in the eyes of parishioners, fellow clergy and people he had known for years. She loved him but not enough to want other people to know he was not the person they saw in that video.
I agree Eric should go back to the church but I just don’t think he will. It’s just a hunch from the way they have been pushing this weird Eric and Jennifer friendship. It’s as forced as the Sami and Abigail nonsense. Just plot driven crap. They will come up with some lame excuse for him not to go back to the priesthood. Just my opinion and no, I don’t like it at all or think it’s a story that makes any sense at all.
only because he had no other alternative or choice to make, which makes Nicole all the more to blame for her own downfall, AFAIC.
SO, Nicole was the consolation price? In Eric’s mind, "Well I don’t have the church, so I guess I will take Nicole". If this is true, then Eric is just as bad as Nicole.
Wow If that is the case, then she REALLY never had his heart. He did make the choice and told her it was final. I am not saying what Nicole did was right– it wasn’t, but he is pretty fickle (IMO). Especially if (as other’s are speculating) if Eric ends up with Jennifer!! He can’t have the church, so he will take Nicole. Wait, she lied so he can have the church, no he will take Jen?
What happen to this strong vocation? NO decision about his life should have been made so quickly!
