Nicole Walker

Nicole Robbins (nee Walker, formerly Roberts and Kiriakis) is a character on the Days of Our Lives soap opera that has been portrayed by Arianne Zuker from 1998 to 2006 and 2008 to present.

Character history
Nicole is one of the two daughters of Paul Mendez and Fay Walker. Nicole has a younger sister named Taylor Raines who she isn't close with but she is very close to her half-brother Brandon Walker (Fay's son with Abe Carver).

Nicole was pursued by Lucas Roberts who had decided he needed to be married in order to gain custody of his biological son Will Roberts. Although Nicole really wanted to be with Eric Brady, she took an offer from Kate Roberts to marry Lucas for $5 million.

After a cancer scare and briefly rekindling her relationship with Eric, she divorced Lucas and schemed her way into the arms of Victor Kiriakis (much to the dismay of Kate Roberts). Nicole and Victor were married, but the honeymoon period was to be brief. It wasn't long until Nicole was plotting Victor's death, and her subsequent inheritance of the Kiriakis fortune. She paid Larry Welch to assassinate Victor, this plot fizzled. She then teamed up with Jan Spears, this venture was successful; Victor's death was linked with the Salem Stalker killings.

Nicole then turned her pursuit to Victor's grandson, Brady Black. Thinking she had finally found her true love, she was ready to settle down. Nicole was unable to stop her old behavior, when she found out that Brady's long-time love Chloe Lane was alive, the web of deceit started once again. When Brady eventually found out what Nicole had been hiding from him, he ended their relationship. Before Nicole left town for Los Angeles in February 2006, she allegedly had a one-night stand with Roman Brady although it was never seen on screen. It was later mentioned on the show that she had met and wanted to marry "some soap actor" a nod to the fact that at the time Arianne Zuker was married to another former actor from Days of our Lives, Kyle Lowder.

In 2008, Nicole returned to Salem claiming to still be married to Victor. Nicole hired E.J. Wells to represent her in her divorce from Victor. While working together both Nicole and E.J. found friendship in one another and their bond continues to grow.
