Indeed. Honestly, everyone in Salem has turned on Nicole at one time or another. Daniel used to be so condescendent to her. Eric constantly judged her, and Brady went as far as physically attacking her while he was high on drugs and alcohol. So frankly, right now, I think we have no choice but to accept that any man who will end up with Nicole has hurt her in the past. Here's to hoping that from now on, she will be treated with respect. And Deimos is certainly not the man for her. Is Eric ? Again, if the guy can get out of this self pity mode and lose the martyr face, maybe it could work.
