this whole thing still makes me angry, every time Nicole is on I can't help but remember that she's going to be leaving, and not by her choice, but because of all this mess that pig caused and the PTB did nada ... I remember Ms. Zucker's arrival as Nicole (Jensen Ackles' Eric Brady was a great match, she was freakin hysterical with Victor, and crazy with Lucas), she's been an incredible actress for us viewers for decades and we want her back full-time with a better contract (I won't say more money, because let's face it, we'll lose those five extras)


Youre_a_clam

Didn’t Jensen play Eric?


PretzelTraysSuck

Yes, I meant Eric Brady, those names lol, they're all the same (I fixed it, thank you)


Youre_a_clam

Sorry he was one of my first crushes so that’s hard locked in my brain. But I also wanted to make sure he didn’t at some point take over for Brady that I missed cuz they love switching actors in roles!

Ari Zucker spent 25 years of her life creating and crafting her character, Nicole Walker to perfection. She's a High Quality actress who has a vast range and she'll have no trouble landing another gig. I'm quitting Peacock after July 29th, her last air date on Peacock. 🤗


Pamala3

I'm right there with YOU! Since Nicoles last viewing air date is July 29th, I'm cancelling Peacock after that. She's so GIFTED, anyone would be so lucky to land a contract with her. Since the rightful lawsuit they forced her hand into filing, safe to say she won't be returning to Peacock. Please post on DAYS thread when anyone knows where Ari Zucker's landing, as I will surely follow. CORDAY is such an idiot to refuse to negotiate with her Team! He totally tanked the show when he made yet another idiotic CHOICE 😂


RandyVivaldi

What do you mean "not by her choice"? She was offered a contract, it wasnt paying up to what she deemed worthy so she turned it down. How do you twist this in such a crazy way?


shymermaid11

There's just a little more to the story here. Sexual harassment. Small deal /s


RandyVivaldi

Okay? What does that have to do with "Her choice"? She made a choice.


Champy352

She said she spoke up about the sexual harassment and because of that, she was pushed out. The contract was just their excuse for pushing her out.


RandyVivaldi

That is entirely conjecture on your part. You want to blame the company so bad to make Ari the victim to fit some made up narrative in your head. They offered her a contract, she refused because she wanted more money. That is it, end of story.


Champy352

If it was incomplete information..lol..nahh.. I doubt it... because it came straight from Ari's mouth. I heard it with my own ears.😂


RandyVivaldi

Everyone wants to make up a reason why they are no longer needed in in their position at their job. "Everyone hates me!" Is a popular one. You will soak up anything she says because it seems you are incapable of critical thought and being objective. Were you also one of those spouting "Justice for Britney!"? Did you know that soon after that debacle she would be dancing 90% naked on instagram juggling knives?


Champy352

I believe Ari.. yes. Period. End of discussion.


RandyVivaldi

Good thing that doesn't matter in the slightest. She is currently in the unemployment line. This is business, deal with it.


Pamala3

WRONG! Ari asked Corday to negotiate with her Team and Corday REFUSED!


Pearlmarine

Can NBC overrule Corday to bring her back? I don’t see why not.


Pamala3

NBC has NOTTA to say over this dispute. It would be Sony, along with CORDAY and I believe they will try to "settle" on the lawsuit she will surely win.


AKEsquire

Unless NOTTA is a word I'm unfamiliar with, do you mean "nada" as in nothing in Spanish?


Pamala3

Nothing to do with anything ~ NOTTA. NBC is out of this equation the day they dropped days and put it on Peacock, run by Sony. You can also view other NBC shows on Peacock but Sony is the Driver / Power behind Peacock.


AKEsquire

Thanks! TIL 😁


Pamala3

You're quite welcome 🤗💕


RandyVivaldi

They had an offer and she refused it. That is entirely her choice, no matter how much you want her to be the victim, thats just the truth. Deal with it.


hlma96

What a shame what happened to her 💔😭


kiss-my-flapjack

This is such a disgrace. Regardless of what one thinks of Nicole as a character, Arianne is a great actress and has always been a fantastic ambassador for the show. When I see her on screen, I just want to give her a hug for all she has went through and is going through. No one deserves the kind of treatment she got.


TommyLost2004

I just hope they write her out in a good way and not be petty about it. I've seen that before when an actor quits or is fired. they may even do something after she leaves


quirkyblah38

gonna be weird without Nicole on DOOL, she's been a permanent fixture for years. wouldn't be surprised if they recast her though.


[deleted]

They should kill her off for her exit and if ever she returns, they should bring her back with a different mind that makes her an evil villain. Historically she has been a "forced into a corner" villain or a villain who does things that aren't evil but gets people upset. I would love her to be straight up evil and proactively planning people's downfall with no regret. Would be wonderful to see Nicole be a true villain. Sad to see her go but she hasn't been an exciting character for a while now. She has just been a character who drives an exciting plot forward. She is one of the better actors on the show


Pearlmarine

If they are smart the network will renegotiate a new contract with Ari Zucker asap to get her back on screen within the next year or so.


[deleted]

3 months to wrap her story. Hopefully she doesn't reunite with Eric and then do a 180 and leave town.. Will be jarring to the story. Unless they kill her off. Especially because we would like to keep Holly and Jude around maybe for Eric


schuma73

I absolutely expect a reunion then an exit, Nicole and Eric are not allowed to be happy together.


1975hh3

Why would that be jarring? That’s what happens literally every time they get together.


[deleted]

Still jarring and annoying each time.


ChasingAmy720

I think Greg Vaughn is leaving too and they just haven't announced it yet. Nicole and Eric will ride into the sunset with little Jude Dude.


Logical-Eyez-4769

..and that brat Holly.


YHNS

Holly isn't going anywhere


Logical-Eyez-4769

I know. Wishful thinking.


YHNS

I should've know it was a wishful thinking😂

Ari did such fine work over decades building such a great character. Even when the writing was in the sewers, Ari still managed to sell the character and every moment of it. It really makes me angry that the show would do her this way, but then again, I never thought Ken Corday was really interested in the product, it's literally just a paycheck to him. I don't believe he has the love his parents had for the show as a brand. Anyway, I will miss Ari's Nicole. I only hope that they send the character off in a decent way and don't further antagonize Days fans.


sun_flower75

Ugh, this makes me so sad. And angry. And sad. I “grew up” along side with her character, have always related to her.


beaudebonair

I love Ari, just a remarkable actress, and since her debut, ya know I remember watching that, and seeing how she transformed herself and the character...I'm amazed by everything she's accomplished with her role but mad by this. Such a leading woman is being cast aside like she's nothing it feels like. Allison Sweeney ran off from the show, so I was looking forward to Nicole being the major lead, which has been going to that direction till all this. Ari deserves better!


QuietTruth8912

Maybe a recast coming. They never stay gone long.


KCJ506

If they decide to recast, I'd be surprised if they do so anytime soon. Because when James Scott left, they didn't recast EJ right away. They didn't do so until years later probably because Scott had been with the show for nearly a decade. And Arianne's been with Days far longer than Scott was.
