Nicole Walker Sets Her Sights On Father Eric

What would Days of our Lives be without major drama?  We like to see the characters happy, but only for a little while, because happy gets boring, and fast.

What keeps us coming back, day after day, is the never ending drama, of course.

Fun things happening in Salem this week:

Nick Fallon purchased surveillance equipment in an effort to gather evidence that it was Will, not Lucas, that shot EJ.  I'm not sure where this storyline is going, but I have a feeling there will be one heck of a custody battle over this little girl, and there is no telling how far Nick is willing to go to get what he wants.  There's something a little sociopathic about this guy, and I just don't trust him.

Cloe is doing everything she can to get between Jen and Daniel, her newly discovered baby daddy.  I wanted to see Daniel with Nicole, so I'm not really sure where I stand here.

And...

Not that I didn't totally see this coming, but today's episode revealed that Nicole is having "feelings" for Father Eric.  Nicole was Eric's first love, way back when, but she dumped him when Kate offered her five million dollars to marry Lucas.  It's only a matter of time until the good priest breaks his vows, as it's obvious he still finds her hard to resist.

DOOL writers sure have been pushing the envelope lately...  good on them.

Will and Gaby's Baby Is A Girl!

So happy to finally see Will owning his role as a parent!

Can Lucas get Sami to behave so that the two families can find peace and work together to raise this child?  Can Will win Sunny back?  I hope so.  Personally, I feel like he's being too hard on Will.  He needs to stop being so selfish and forgive him already.

What's going to happen with Nick?  Am I the only one getting slightly concerned with what he's going to do next?  He was uncharacteristically nice to Will today, and it feels more like the calm before the storm that the real deal.

I have a feeling Will needs to watch his back, or he might find his cousin Nick stabbing him in it!!!  I think he's going to go full-psycho on us again... and it will all be lots of fun to watch!

I wonder what they'll name the baby?  Perhaps Arianna, in honor of Gaby and Rafe's dead sister?  Or maybe Grace, in honor of Will's dead sister...

What do you think they should name her? 

John Discovers Brady and Kristen's Illicit Affair

So... John finally knows about Brady and Kristen.

After weeks of watching him treat Marlena with such disdain every time she dared to suggest that Kristen wasn't the angel she was presenting herself to be, it's nice to see John get what he deserves.  

A nice big bowl of crow, served up Kristen style.  

How pathetic is it that this is all part of her evil plan to get revenge on John for choosing Marlena over her?  "Now I'm going to take your son from you!!!"

Of course, John plays right it to her plan, barging in to her hotel room Rambo style... now Brady's convinced he's wronged Kristen, and we're going be dealing with this for months to come.  With any luck, Kristen will get pregnant, and then the real fun will begin.

This story line is a little bit sick... she was almost his stepmom!  She surely changed his diapers a few times!  I also don't like how this makes Brady look.  He's usually so smart, how can he not see through her?!  

It's kind of a shame that she has to still be psycho, I always liked good Kristen.

But then again, what would Salem be without a few psychos in the mix?
