Nicole Walker...No Goodbye???


Recommended Posts

  • Members

So according to TV Guide online, Nicole will have no real goodbye or sendoff. The show is leaving the role very open ended. I'm a little disturbed by this as I believe Arianne so deserves a good sendoff. What do you guys think?

Lately I've found myself drawn to any scene with Nicole (since Brady's departure that is)! I'm really gonna miss AZ.

I am disappointed but given the fact that her exit was so sudden ( I mean Days had long term plans for her since in SOD's 2006 previews issue they had her being paired with Roman) actually is what is keeping me from being outraged. She may go off to run Highstyle yet but we may not get a goodbye scene. We will just hear her acknowledged on the phone or something. I think Days has a feeling she may return someday too but I doubt it since her character has no ties whatsoever but the way this all happened (and it happened very fast I mean we only learned this like two weeks ago) tells me Days wasn't prepared for this and that they are just gonna leave it open if they ever decide to pick up the role. Sadly, they can do this since Nicole is a minor character now and hasn't been on much at all. I will miss Ari dearly and hope that a miracle happens and she returns someday :( .

I think we should all vote for her in the top 10 her last week to show our support :D .

Bricole ruined Nicole and wasted the many years that Nicole could have been doing something else more enjoyable. That is one of Days biggest mistakes:forcing Bricole down our throats and it was Higley who started that crap :angry: .

I sooooo agree with this!

And Nicole getting no send off? To have a coming back open? Oh please... They could have send her off to LA to work for High Style and have a small goodbye party (okay, so not many people would be there, since not many people liked Nicole, but still..) !

But I guess whoever said that it must have been to sudden for the producers is right..

I know, but making her go to LA to run HS could also leave it open for her to return anytime! They could explain it by saying Nicole became an alcholic (ok, maybe not became, but maybe her alcoholism progressed lol) and she screwed up HS and got fired and then she came back to Salem!

This was posted already in the DTS board :)

I don't think this is so much of a problem considering Nicole goes and comes on the screen all the time. One minute you see her, one minute you don't. It's like is she REALLY on the show?

You're right, in a way. At this point, who would really care if Nicole left town? Austin is the only person I can think of who would genuinely miss her. Maybe Sami and Victor would care. They've really just boxed her into this isolated, crappy corner.

I don't so much mind that the character is leaving, because they have a big cast and she isn't "core." What sucks is that they haven't bothered to write a story for a talented performer and won't even show her the respect of letting the audience know where the character went.

    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
