Eric Brady is a character that "Days of Our Lives" fans know well. The legacy character is the son of Marlena Evans and Roman Brady and has been part of the Salem landscape since his birth. However, viewers didn't meet Nicole Walker until 1998, when she showed up in Salem as a waitress with a troubled past. Eric was a budding photographer when he met Nicole at the cafe where she worked and learned she had dreams of becoming a model. Captivated by Nicole's beauty, Eric convinced his twin sister Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) to hire her as a model for the company she worked for. Eric took the photos, and while he photographed Nicole, the two began to fall in love.
Eventually, interference from others strained the couple's budding romance. Not only did they have to deal with Jay stalking them, but Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo) decided he wanted Nicole for himself and did everything in his power to break up her relationship with Eric. Soon, the trauma of Nicole's past with her abusive father was revealed, which brought her closer to Eric, but it wasn't enough to keep her around when a greater opportunity knocked. Nicole was lured away from Eric when Lucas offered her $5 million to marry him so he could obtain custody of his son. Nicole took the money and married Lucas while Eric tried to move on, though he ultimately decided to leave Salem and Nicole behind.
However, that was just the beginning of Nicole and Eric's complicated love story.
