Who is Nicole Walker?

Nicole is a relatively new Salem inhabitant (February, 1998) who was a waitress at Wings and is now a model for Bella, a Titan-produced magazine. She has been paired with Eric, and lives in mortal fear of having her sordid past discovered, but then again, who doesn't? (Personally, I think her hairdresser should be living in mortal fear. Have you seen some of the things they've made her wear?!)
What is her main conflict?

Nicole has a shady fellow named Jay who keeps popping up from her past. She also seems hesitant to let Eric know that she's poor, so she kept him out of her living space. Or did until until her face got plastered all over a widely circulated magazine and fattened up her pocket, enabling her to nab a spiffy apartment and furniture. She wants to hold onto her privacy for reasons unknown, but she has been opening up to Eric, slowly but surely.
What would I do with Nicole is I were a DOOL writer?

  • Get some acceleration into the painfully slow process of revealing her past. I mean, come on, people, it's been how many months and we still don't know anything except that she has a sister and mother living in Salem who she treats like dirt!
  • Hook her up with Duh-Boy Reed. They'd be perfect for each other, as both of them are pretty clueless when it comes to important things like keeping your face off of the cover of major publications while trying to stay anonymous, and noticing that sex with the wife has slacked off considerably in the past few months because you just don't "do it" for her anymore.
  • Conversely, hook her up with Lucas Roberts. Sure, she's taller than he is, but short men usually find tall women wildly attractive. Think of the possibilities for mayhem for these two, especially if Nicole loses Eric to her sweet and gentle little sister, Taylor. Eric loses Nicole to his sister's ex-lover and the father of her baby, while Sami has to deal with Eric's girlfriend running around with her newest opponent. I like it, I like it. . .

What impact could Nicole have on B & H Inc.?

The character of Nicole is somewhat of a dumb bunny and now a megabitch (at least around her sister, Taylor), due mainly to poor writing, but she has great potential. At the moment she is Eric Brady's love interest, but I foresee a future for Nicole and Duh-Boy Reed, on account of the fact that Eric's acting like a jerk to her. Another possibility is Lucas Roberts. If this should come to pass, we will have quite the interesting little geometric shape, with Duh-Boy and/or Lucas interested in Nicole while Carrie and Mike are struggling with mutual feelings of affection, and then there's the twins, Eric and Sami, left out in the cold. How can Marlena hope to keep this family in order?

My thoughts about the character of Nicole:

Now that I've known Nicole for awhile, I have to say that I hate her. I have never met a more cruel and condescending person, especially when she interacts with Taylor. My problem with the character of Nicole stems partly from the actress (if she can be called that) Ariane Zuker, who never seems to grasp the soul of Nicole. She has the look (unless it's a particularly bad hair day), but I never find myself caring about her. Zuker need to get some acting lessons, or they need to ship her out of DOOL. She's been dragging her storyline for months.
