until yesterday!!! Self-righteousness doesn’t begin to describe how he treated Nicole. And Maggie’s just as bad when it comes to the glorification of her son and her son’s daughter. Please….as if they are so damn perfect. I am so sick and tired of watching Nicole beg for crumbs from the men she falls for. I realize she is a repetitive screw-up, at times, but the shade thrown at her yesterday was absurd from both Daniel and Maggie when they decided Nicole was wrong for accepting a cup of coffee. True, I dont trust Xander as far as I can throw him, and I hope Nicole’s instincts prove to be much better than usual when it comes to him. The woman (Nicole) needs a break, and she needs to realize her self-esteem is really disintigrating and it’s disgusting to watch. I am really upset with Daniel and with Maggie for the way they both treated her yesterday. Of course, this is all probably a plot to get her back with Eric once Serena is written out, but I’m not so sure she wouldn’t be going from the frying pan to the fire there either. She needs a break alright, but mostly from these writers.
