I only disagreed with the statement that Juliette was a part of Nick's character profile. When I wrote about her being a priority, that had nothing to do with screen time. It had to do with Nick not viewing her as a priority.
This wasn't directed at you. I know what you were trying to say. It was directed at people wondering why Juliette gets talked about so much in general.
I misunderstood. Sorry about that and thanks for clarifying.

Nick was devoted to her for nearly four seasons and her being in the dark and having her awakening were both big storylines. A good amount of Nick's personal angst was directly tied to her.
I wouldn't say what we saw between Nick and Juliette constitutes devotion on his part. If that was the case, there wouldn't have been so many posts voicing such irritation with Juliette, and to a lesser extent, Nick himself. After all, if it's obvious there are some people here who really are smitten with him as the main character and feel he generally makes the right decision. So why would decisions in his love life be subject to scrutiny then? If he truly loved her, then I believe most viewers would go along with that, even if her love for Nick in return was not on the same level.
Nick, to me, is just one of those guys who wants a woman in his life, but just isn't capable of having the depth of maturity to show her that she's the one who's a priority to him. I could see them squalbbling, Juliette questioning his love for her, and Nick responding by saying, "well, I took on you on that romantic weekend...........er, uh four years ago, right? Remember? I even proposed.
Look, what more do you want?"
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
