That is one of the reason why I despise Nadalind - if they really had planned in a long time they didn't needed to destroy Juliette just because for the benefit from Adalind. They could have make it in a different why. If it really should have been - to put them together they could have miss out the rape thing without destroy Juliette.
Tara, IMO, the writers were, to some extent, responding to some fan driven opinions. The Adalind character was originally supposed to supplement the Aunt Marie arc but the fans took to her character and they responded with more Adalind. Is this a recipe for great writing or a recipe to maintain a larger fan base?
These same fans also did not respond well to the Juliette character. You can blame the writing, the actor, the settings or anything else some want to think about but those are the realities. If you were the writers of this show, what would be your priorities? The roof and food it was providing or the development of a fictional character on a frictional TV show?
These are some of the realities we need to accept about this show. For me, up until Season 4, I would have preferred and expected the Nicolette union but after how they wrote the Juliette character, hell NO! After how they wrote her betrayal, I was happy with the Nadalind ending.
To recap, what I expected with the relationship between Nick and Juliette was not what was presented. Once the dark side of Juliette was exploited, I no longer supported Nicolette and favored the Nadalind.
Was Adalind my first choice to hook up with Nick? Nope. I would have chosen a dozen other characters on the show to have ended up with Nick. Angelina was one, the Dragon gal was another. In the end, this is what they gave us.
