Key Takeaways
- Nikki told Victoria she’s been having headaches recently.
- While Victoria’s concerned for her mother, Nikki thinks it’s nothing serious.
- Nikki could be suffering from another ailment.
Cause For Concern
Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) has faced many health issues over the years. From her battle with alcoholism to her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, she’s had many trips to the hospital. Although she appears fine now, the show seems to be foreshadowing another health concern for the Newman matriarch.
On the May 27th episode, Nikki told Victoria (Amelia Heinle) that she’s been suffering from a headache that won’t go away. When Victoria voiced her concern, Nikki promised her daughter that she’d be fine. But Nikki is far from fine.
Nikki’s headaches worsen, which causes more worry for Victoria. The Newman princess advises her mother to see a doctor, but Nikki rejects the idea. Nikki believes the headaches are from an MS flare-up and they’ll eventually go away.
Nikki may want to dismiss her migraines, but Victoria’s not going to let it go. She’s going to keep pestering Nikki until she agrees to go to the doctor. Nikki’s doctor visit could deliver news that she didn’t want to hear.
Critical Diagnosis
Fans have been speculating on what could be wrong with Nikki. Theories range from a brain tumor to a stroke to high blood pressure. Whatever Nikki’s diagnosis is, it’s going to be dire for her.
As Nikki reels from her latest health crisis, there’s the question of whether she’ll tell her family. The Newmans are already dealing with Nick’s (Joshua Morrow) addiction and trying to put Matt (Roger Howarth) back in jail.
Nikki’s main priority is her children, and she wants to help Nick beat his addiction as she did with hers. Fearing that her diagnosis will further postpone Nick’s trip to rehab, Nikki might choose to keep quiet.
With Nikki focusing on Nick and Matt, she might start ignoring her health concerns. Although she wants to keep this secret from her family, she’ll eventually have to tell them.
Everyone will start to notice when Nikki’s symptoms worsen. With Nikki’s health at risk, the Newmans will rally around their beloved matriarch as she fights her latest ailment.
