According to Days of Our Lives <\/a>spoilers for the week of 7-29-24, it\u2019s time to say goodbye to Eric and Nicole.<\/p>\n The two decided to leave Salem after EJ threatened to tell Holly the truth about Daniel\u2019s death. They\u2019re taking baby Jude with them, but not Holly.<\/p>\n Sorry, Ericole fans. This exit will be far more bittersweet than you hoped, even if the ship does get a happy-for-now ending.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a shame the behind-the-scenes problems couldn\u2019t be resolved in a better way.<\/p>\n Related: Days of Our Lives Star Arianne Zucker Files Lawsuit Accusing Show\u2019s Producer of Sexual Harassment<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n In a matter of weeks, Nicole learned her baby wasn\u2019t dead, Gabi revealed the further truth about who Jude\u2019s father was, Nicole filed for divorce, EJ became vindictive, and Nicole and Eric decided to leave town.<\/p>\n Maggie even conveniently came around the corner just in time to offer to let Holly live with her so that Eric and Nicole could take the baby to Paris without having to uproot the fiery teen.<\/p>\n This is yet another disappointing character exit<\/a>. It\u2019s a step above gratuitously killing off characters and resurrecting them later, but that\u2019s not saying much.<\/p>\n Ericole fans don\u2019t get to enjoy their happily ever after, and to make matters worse, Nicole and Eric end up looking like cowards.<\/p>\n Running away to Paris doesn\u2019t solve anything. If EJ really wanted to, he could fire up the Dimera Jet and stalk them internationally, but since they\u2019re leaving the show, he won\u2019t.<\/p>\n This exit should never have happened, especially not for the reasons Zucker alleges in her lawsuit. It cuts off the story of Eric and Nicole dealing with EJ\u2019s wrath before it gets started and rushes them off-screen.<\/p>\n Since Holly\u2019s staying in Salem, what stops EJ from letting the truth about Daniel\u2019s death slip anyway? What Nicole and Eric SHOULD do is stay where they are and tell Holly the truth before EJ can make her learn it in a far crueler manner.<\/p>\n Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 7-29-24 suggest that Holly and Tate regroup because their plans are foiled \u2014 but with Nicole leaving town and Theresa in hot water over her recent crimes, they may have more freedom than before.<\/p>\n Related: Days of Our Lives\u2019 Ron Carlivarti\u2019s Exit Could Reboot The Peacock Soap<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Brady is the only one of their parents who could still pose a problem, and he\u2019s busy getting drunk all the time. That leaves EJ, but with Nicole gone, dos he really care if her daughter dates someone Nicole disapproved of?<\/p>\n Tate and Holly could also bond over both of their mothers\u2019 plights, bringing them closer together, assuming they can pull this subterfuge off.<\/p>\n Eric and Nicole\u2019s storyline has gone in circles for so long that a break might be a good thing. <\/p>\n The way Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 7-29-24 describe their ending suggests it won\u2019t do the couple justice, but still.<\/p>\n Leaving for Europe or Africa is a tired Days of Our Lives trope<\/a>, but at least the couple is going together this time.<\/p>\n Ericole fans had to endure Eric being in Africa without Nicole for over a year, so their proposed trip might offer those fans who love them some comfort even if their reunion won\u2019t play out on screen.<\/p>\n Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 7-29 say that Paulina will give Jada a promotion, which means Jada is the new interim commissioner.<\/p>\n Related: Days of Our Lives: 13 Things That Only Happen In Salem<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Jada will use that position to grill Bobby about what happened to Rafe.<\/p>\n The tables have turned. Now she has the upper hand and he\u2019d better spill if he doesn\u2019t want to end up in jail.<\/p>\n This will likely also cause Connie to panic. Hopefully, she won\u2019t attack anyone else. We don\u2019t need any more serial killer storylines.<\/p>\n Abe and Kate\u2019s meta storyline<\/a> will continue, with the pair hosting auditions to recast characters on Body and Soul now that they own the rights to the defunct fictional soap opera.<\/p>\n Someone familiar will join the auditions, but it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess who that\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n Abe first realized that Nurse Whitley was lying to him when an actor pretending to be his son popped up on the soap-within-a-soap, so could that actor again try to get on the show?<\/p>\n Worse yet, could Nurse Whitley herself return in the hopes she will be able to reclaim her fictional world? That\u2019s all Abe needs now!<\/p>\n Johnny and Chanel have been discussing their next move ever since the miscarriage. It seem as if talking about it is a spoiler every other week.<\/p>\n Related: Days of Our Lives\u2019 Tripp and Wendy Leaving Salem Underscores These Characters\u2019 Wasted Potential<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Abe and Kate will need directors and producers, so the perfect job might have opened up for Johnny.<\/p>\n The couple probably also wants to think about whether they want to try again to have a baby, and how soon. Plus, they need to decide how to handle the mess that EJ has made out of everything, especially if Paulina fires him again.<\/p>\n After shocking news derailed Theresa\u2019s wedding<\/a>, it didn\u2019t seem like there was anything left for her in Salem.<\/p>\n The Friday cliffhanger suggested Theresa wants to turn herself in to the cops, but whether she does is an open question.<\/p>\n Still, Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 7-29-24 say that Leo will contact an old friend, so it\u2019s possible that Emily O\u2019Brien will shift roles again.<\/p>\n With Theresa\u2019s story at an end, this makes sense, assuming O\u2019Brien is staying, though Gwen was never the most likable character and doesn\u2019t need to return.<\/p>\n Gabi\u2019s been acting like she already knows Stefan slept with Ava. Her comments seem to be needling them both.<\/p>\n Related: 9 Plot Twists That Made Our Heads Spin<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Ava\u2019s paranoid about the truth coming out and Kristen\u2019s engineered things so that Ava and Gabi have to work together. One way or another, this secret is coming out!<\/p>\n It would be so much more fun if Gabi knew already and was waiting for the right time to get vengeance on her cheating husband.<\/p>\n Ugh, Brady. Why?<\/p>\n![\"Collage](\"https:\/\/cdn.tvfanatic.com\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Days-of-Our-Lives-Spoilers-for-the-Week-of-7-29-24-collage-1024x576.png\")
