The Bold and the Beautiful

Nicole is seriously considering having another child for Maya and Rick, much to Zende’s dismay on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Nicole gives new meaning to the word selfless. After bearing a daughter for Maya (Karla Mosley) and Rick, she’s contemplating doing it all over again. She wants to make her sister happy. Zende’s against the idea, which leaves Nicole in a quandary. Soap Hub asked what Zende should do if his lady love decides to go the surrogate pregnancy route… again.

Run, Zende, Run
Enough is enough. Nicole’s already done plenty for Maya, Rick (Jacob Young), and their family. If she opts to have another child for them, 69% of you think Zende should run from her as fast as he can. Clearly, Nicole is putting her sister’s happiness before Zende’s and her own. If she truly loved Zende, she’d heed his wishes.

Love Her More Than Ever
Meanwhile, 21% of you think Zende (Rome Flynn) should stand by Nicole and love her more than ever. If she opts to give Maya and Rick another child, so be it. He should be proud of the caring, generous woman she is and support her through it. She will need him more than ever to support her and her choices.

Stick Around, But Stay Distant
The final 10% of fans think Zende should stick around no matter what. After all, that’s what relationships are all about — sticking together through the good and the bad. Nicole (Reign Edwards) deserves that much consideration from him. However, you totally feel he’d be justified to be somewhat distant from her. It’s definitely something the two of them will have to work out and come to terms with, but who said relationships are easy?
