Days: Eric And Nicole Reunite!

Eric arrives at Nicoles door and she is less than thrilled to see him.

Her first reaction? “Panic!” says Arianne Zucker (Nicole). “Panic for several reasons. She’s had to make a deal with the devil, in a way, and seeing Eric just makes it harder for her.”

That deal? Marrying Xander after he swiped the recording of Nicole confessing to killing Deimos and blackmailed her to be his bride. “She’s trapped, lost, drowning, really, because of the choice she made, but she feels she had to to save certain people’s lives — Holly’s, Eric’s and kind of in a way, Brady’s, because he got so crushed, even though he’s the reason this all happened, really,” Zucker adds. “I think that she’s trying to be selfless in a way, in Nicole’s survival way.”
