However, Days spoilers confirm that Eric has temporarily returned to Salem to support his brother and to also admit to Holly that he caused her father’s accident.
Unfortunately, he has returned alone, and there is no sign of Nicole. But let us tell you that the soap has not written off Nicole entirely.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers confirm that after EJ and Gabi’s hookup, he confides in her that he still loves and wants Nicole back.
He adds that he would do anything and everything to bring her back if she would forgive him. However, it is highly unlikely that Arianne Zucker would return to the soap as Nicole. Also, we don’t think the makers would recast the role so soon.
Thus, there is a solid chance that we might get a Gabi and EJ romance meanwhile. The two certainly have fireball chemistry, and that hate sex was through the roof!
For decades, the enemy to lovers trope has done well on all entertainment platforms, may it be books, movies, or TV shows.

Hence, we won’t be surprised at all if the makers decide to use it to their advantage to spike the heat on the soap! In fact, if they stretch the track over for some months, they would have the perfect storyline to weave Nicole’s return into. Imagine her coming back and finding EJ and Gabi in a relationship! Oh, the drama!
