Of course, Days of Our Lives viewers know that not only does Eric harbor secret feelings he’s been trying to fight off for Sarah, she’s been trying to fight off feelings for Eric too, and stayed firm in her resolve to make things work with Rex, especially now that Nicole Walker (Adrienne Zucker) returned from the dead to Salem.
Only, as Days of Our Lives viewers also know, it’s not really Nicole, it’s Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) complete with a Nicole face mask, wig and apparatus to change her voice!
FakeNicole has totally decimated any feelings Eric might have had for real Nicole, although if the real Nicole were to really return from the dead, they probably could be rekindled.
Still, Eric and Sarah will both feel awkward with Eric officiating Rex and Sarah’s marriage; and Sarah didn’t want to do a spur of the moment marriage anyway and had to be convinced.
Perhaps the close call with Will Horton (Chandler Massey) influenced Rex that no one is promised tomorrow, so he wants to make sure that he and Sarah do get married right away; but then it’s also possible that he is worried she might change her mind as well, especially since he could have heard enough of a recent conversation between Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) and Eric to know that Sarah has been fighting off feelings for Eric!
It doesn’t seem that Eric is an intentional choice on the part of Rex, he just happens to come into their path when Rex and Sarah are talking about their “emergency” marriage and he’s the only one close by with the ability to perform the ceremony! Will he accept?
