She got me on that one - she really is truly upset at the ending of BB and it was very touching

My first tears of the night.

That's what started me off

I know some are cynical but I think that speech the other night in the diary room came from the bottom of her heart. BB is her life, its what made the girl, like she said when she was sick she never got qualifications, and couldn't get a job and BB has help her to gain the confidence to get out there. As for her childlike mannerisms, you have to remember she never had a childhood really, her entire adolescent years were one big blur spent in hospital, I think she is only really experiencing that part of her life now.

I am not an avid Nikki fan but the miore I though about it the more I understood.

Very true RiverRock, I hope for her sake that BB is not the end for her. I hope she finds something else to keep her feel wanted and special. Brian is my winner, but I do hope if Nikki wins it she is not forgotten.
