Nicole Walker DiMera is not a woman prone to taking setbacks lying down on Days of our Lives. When she lost her and EJ’s first child, she kidnapped his daughter with Sami and passed baby Sydney off as her own for almost a year. Now that she’s been told that her son is dead – even as Nicole is sure he is actually the baby Sloan and Eric just adopted, she is just as poised to take matters into her own hands.
Nicole Walker DiMera: Talk Therapy
Eric (Greg Vaughan) told Nicole (Arianne Zucker) that this was his newborn, not hers, she was holding. EJ reminded Nicole that their child was dead and coaxed her to hand back the baby. Nicole pretended to go along. But, when neither was around, she informed the DiMera living room – and us – that she isn’t about to take no for an answer. That baby is hers, and she’ll prove it, too! (Missed that part? Catch up here!)
Blood Test
The easiest way to prove relation is for Nicole to run a DNA test on Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) and Eric’s tot. That shouldn’t be too hard. All she needs is a cheek-swab from herself, and one from the baby. Her daughter had the same idea and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) has gotten the ball rolling. No way that can go wrong. Not in a town like Salem.
Wise Up
Hopefully, the Salem DNA lab with actually run a test correctly for a change. Then Nicole will have all the proof she needs. And, once she has proof, she and EJ will get “their” son back. Hopefully in time for Christmas. One big happy family. Until it’s time for the next secret to come out. In the meantime, let’s watch Sloan and Melinda (Tina Huang) explain how they ended up with Nicole’s “dead” offspring.
