Girls are going at it!
Embodying the classic chick fight over a man, Walker versus Horton stretches over many weeks. How long have we been seeing Jennifer scenes where she tells everyone that she care about Daniel as a "friend" and she only wants to help. That is complete BS!
How long have we been seeing Nicole justifying her lies by convincing herself that Daniel cares about her and her baby, and that she is able to completely seduce him. That is BS!
Neither of these women has a hold on Daniel at this point. However, I will concede that both have severely impacted his life and his decisions.
Let's take a closer look at Dr. Jonas, shall we? He came to Salem as a specialty doctor as a favor to Victor and stayed because of the women he got involved with. Then he discovered he had a daughter. Wonderful! Then daughter leaves...now what? Oh, I know! He sticks around for the women that he's involved with. Who are these women? How did they meet Daniel?
Chelsea Brady- pancreas transplant patient
Kate Roberts- lung cancer patient
Chloe Lane- bone marrow donor patient
Jennifer Horton- heart transplant patient
Nicole Walker- high-risk pregnancy patient
Anyone seeing a pattern? Why these girls are fighting over this guy is a mystery...
Oh,wait. He's HOT. Mystery solved.
Nicole's argument has some validity. She did not seduce Daniel into switching the test. The seduction/ relationship really happened afterwards. She didn't even know that he wasn't going to switch the labels back.
One thing she should not have done was use her baby to gain sympathy. Allowing her child to be a way to connect...that's fine. But don't start naming him after the guy! Don't ask him to be the godfather! Seriously, after what he went through with Parker? Do you really think that Daniel is eager to play daddy to a kid that's not his...again?
Even now that the boy is gone, she is still using him to secure Daniel. Yes, it's a tragedy. She's sad. We get it. The bottom line is, she's manipulating Daniel, and at times she might not even realize it. She has convinced herself that Jennifer is to blame in order to deal with this. She has convinced herself that if she lost her baby, then she is meant to hang on to Daniel. This logic can only come from a depressed, post-tramatic, previously murderous mind.
As for our friend Jennifer, she has some justification for her actions. It's amazing how on soaps every character is a psychologist. "I'm trying to do for Daniel what I couldn't do for Jack." Classic survivor's guilt. Well, on some levels that would be true. However, if that was the case, she probably could not admit that to herself. Therefore, she must have reasons that she cannot admit to herself: her feelings for Daniel, perhaps.
Even so, intentions become moot when the police get involved. Jennifer has an almost clean record, she's well-liked throughout the community, and she is a mother herself. All of these could be used as character references to prove that she would not do such a thing. One thing that might sink her ship= Nicole.
Which brings us to the current story. "Daniel gives Nicole an ultimatum" reads a spoiler on NBC's Days website. Since we know that he later tells her that he still wants to leave town with her, we can assume that he says something like, "If you drop the charges, I'll leave Salem with you."
Will Nicole let go of her vengeance to secure her man? If the past is any indication, no. She might agree, but she'll still try to accomplish her goal. Maybe send EJ after her. Nicole won't give up on Jennifer. And she sure as hell won't give up on her latest romance.
Problem is, Jennifer's a fighter too. If you thought the PR war in the mayoral election was intense, don't count the casualties yet. This war's still raging.
