Nicole admitted she was developing feelings for Rafe. However, he refused to go there due to her being a married woman.

She accepted his answer, but still feels like the friendship is much more than that.

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Gering admitted that Rafe’s feelings for Nicole do surface occasionally. One example is when Rafe questions Nicole about what she’s doing hanging out with Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer). Rafe has to stop and ask himself why he’s asking those questions or why he suddenly feels a certain way. With that being said, Nicole is not available, so she is off-limits as far as Rafe is concerned.

When asked why Rafe doesn’t admit those feelings to Nicole or himself, Gering had a simple explanation.
