In the December 29 episode of Beyond the Gates, Nicole spent some quality time with Carlton. However, he isn’t the only man on Nicole’s mind these days.
Key Takeaways
- Nicole and Carlton enjoyed some witty banter.
- They made plans for New Year’s Eve.
- Is this the end of Nicole and Kial?
What Happened on Beyond the Gates?
At the club, Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) invited Carlton (Robert Christopher Riley) to join her for some lunch and witty banter. These two didn’t miss a beat as they flirted while also filling each other in on their Christmas festivities.
Carlton revealed that he had a dream about Nicole, where she was Eva Perón, singing “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina.” This put a smile on Nicole’s face. They then discussed New Year’s Eve.
Nicole agreed to be his date without hesitation, sealing their plans with a kiss. After Carlton left, Nicole FaceTimed Dani (Karla Mosley) to catch her up.
Dani’s all about this new Nicole, but she wondered about Kial (Greg Vaughan). Nicole admitted he’s still in the picture and that she planned to enjoy this new phase in her life.
The sisters talked New Year’s Eve attire, and Nicole decided her wardrobe needed a makeover for the occasion.
Why Nicole’s Love Life Matters
Nicole’s world was rocked when she learned that her supposedly devoted husband, Ted (Keith D. Robinson), had cheated with Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) years ago. Not only that, but Eva (Ambyr Michelle) was their love child.
It has taken Nicole time to get her spark back following that betrayal. Nicole has entered a whole new era, though, living her best life with whoever she wants.
Despite Nicole spending time with Carlton, her not counting Kial out yet means BTG fans should brace for a classic soap opera love triangle.
The Fallout
Ted will no doubt lose his mind when he finds out Nicole is continuing to enjoy the company of Kial and Carlton. Speaking of Carlton and Kial, it will be interesting to see how they react to finding out that Nicole has been spending time with both of them.
Then again, Nicole has only hung out with Kial at Winterfest, so the writing could already be on the wall for them. Nicole has definitely been chilling with Carlton a lot more, and in the soap world, that could mean something or nothing.
Aside from how the men feel, a new development will shake things up for Nicole. She’s on cloud nine right now, playing the field, but once she’s discovered that Anita (Tamara Tunie) has cancer, all bets are off.
Instead of just having fun, Nicole will no doubt need a shoulder to lean on. This will add a new layer to her relationship with both Carlton and Kial. It will change Nicole for sure and could even shut down the newfound carefree woman she has become recently.
