Shanice, out of the blue, mentioning a previous relationship where a boyfriend cheated on her with his ex, seemed like either foreshadowing or a red flag, at the very least.
Months ago, I told a few people who were watching the show that, at some point, Ted & Nicole were likely to fall in (in bed, in lust, in love, in...whatever) with each other again and they scoffed at me. I told them "you never really watched daytime soaps before, have you?" We expect couples and characters to go back & forth. I still think half the characters on this show--including Nicole--could have used some time with a psychiatrist. And it still doesn't sit right with me that Leslie s*xually assaulted Ted, you can't claim to be a new type of soap when you pull the same old soap opera tropes. That said, I think that Daphnée and Keith have a natural chemistry, the actors are good friends offscreen and obviously trust each other onscreen. I have never believed that Nicole & Ted were "finished" with each other.
