Days of our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, July 17, give Nicole and Eric a minute to catch their breaths and figure out what being Jude’s parents really means for them. Meanwhile, a surprise wedding erupts in Salem.

Different Time, Different Place

Nicole (Arianne Zucker) and Eric (Greg Vaughan) have been married before. He took off for Africa, and she cheated on him. These two clearly don’t understand how marriage works.

He doesn’t have a place to live or money to buy food and clothes (presumably, if he uses his credit card, his parents will see he never left town). But who needs practical things when you’ve got love? And the object of your affection still has access to the DiMera house and the DiMera money…unless kicking out Holly is part of EJ’s plan to
