I know this may sound INSANE but...

Tuesday I was actually sorta hoping for a half-second that Sami might let Nicole hold the baby one last time.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I would have had Rafe standing guard at the door, but...

I know its crazy, and I know Samantha has every right to be very angry at Nicole, and i am NOT excusing anything that Nicole did...

I just think it might have been a nice thing to do...

Call me crazy...

And now that she did, is Sami a bit more redeemed? I was astonished that she offered that today and proud of her because, honestly, if I had been sc**wed over by a woman who had befreinded me, I would never have been so forgiving or compassionate. Sami is a bigger person thn I am I guess.

I don't disagree with anything said in this post. I have grown to LOVE the character of Nicole and find myself routing for her when morally, I shouldn't be. And, as I've posted before, all she wants is love and family and she has a lot of love to give. She's just nuts and doesn't know how to legitimately go about achieving that. Ok, having said all the above, its fine to say that you wished Sami had been more gracious toward Nicole - believe me, my heart went out to Nicole in those scenes. But can you tell me honestly that if you were in Sami's shoes and just found out that someone stole your baby and you'd been denied the privilege of raising her for the past 10 months, that you would act in a gracious manner toward the person who stole your baby? Really??? I think people should stop beating up Sami and really think about what they would do if confronted with the same situation in real life.

Those are Great Points and Fair Questions, Maxie!!! ... I had those thoughts too and I admit that if I were in Samis place, realistically, I would have torn Nicole to shreds, NOT let her Play HUGGLES with my kid one last time LOL...But still, unrealistic as it may be, i though it would have been nice to see ha ha!!! ... - chris/pt

I have to admit that I felt the draw towards putting the baby in Nicole's arms, too. And while I will admit that Nicole was a pretty good Mommie, all that emotion disappears as soon as you realize that Sami's baby, Grace, died. All bets are off after that!
Because of Nicole, Sami went through something that will affect her for the rest her life. She was responsible for Sami's torment--and that wipes out any sympathy anyone could have towards Nicole. Even Ej realized that yesterday when Nicole was tlaking that she gave Ej his daughter knowing that Sami never would. He told her that she would be pusnished for what she's done. Nicole doesn't have all her marbles, but she hurt a lot of people with this one.

To me we still have the Sami the saint personality going on, but there were glimpses of the old selfish Sami the past couple days. When she learned Grace was hers, she seemed pretty giddy with excitement, and she had no problems watching Nicole get arrested. (and to those of you who like Rafe, that wasn't good on his part either). Not to mention she just stands there holding Grace while Nicole breaks down-I'm willing to bet that couldn't be healthy for the baby to see that.

What really got to me yesterday was when little Sydney, in Sami's arms, kept turning around and looking at Nicole. A good mother would have taken the baby out of that situation. Nicole is the only mother she knows and to let her witness Nicole's distress is just short of abuse. Then to take Sydney to the pier and watch Nicole get arrested and handcuffed. This makes Sami and Rafe look so darned unconcerned about the baby.

With Lucas in rehab, Alli is with Sami 24/7. Where the heck is she in all of this? And I'm just assuming that Mary has Johnny at the DiMera mansion. This is one of the things I hate about baby stories. We go through the entire pregnancy etc. and then when the story line is over, the children just disappear. The scenes with Sydney and Nicole was the most interaction I've seen in a soap between baby and mother after the birth.

The baby is the one whose whole world is falling apart. No one cares much about her feelings, just her DNA.

Those are my thoughts as well. Why would anyone who truly loved a child subject her to the grief of her mother (who the child thinks is her mother) like that? Disgusting. And Rafe taking Sami and Sydney to watch and gloat over Nicole's arrest was dispicable behavior.~Carissa

Rissa,,,Im guessin you are Not in the ''Feel Sympathy For Nicole'' camp lol? ;-)

Nicole is a monster, but not to Sydney. ~Carissa

You and I must think alike on a lot of things, PhoenixTamer!

I was feeling bad for Nicole (and no, I don't excuse what she did at all!) and Sammy was just smiling and enjoying that baby...that baby who had known Nicole as her mommy all her life, and Sami didn't seem to give a hoot that Nicole's world was falling in on her.

I was hoping she would say something like, ''Nicole, what you did was wrong, and hurt me more than you'll ever know, but I am sorry for your pain, and I know how much you have loved Sydney. You've been a good mother, in spite of your wrongdoings.''

I dunno....something like that, though.
