Casting and creation

In the March 6, 2017, issue of Soap Opera Digest, Zucker revealed that she would depart the role of Nicole at the end of her deal in April. In the issue, Zucker stated: "Two years ago, I was contemplating making the shift. [...] I know there are a thousand girls who would take my job in a second, for me, it is my time to go."^[1] Zucker's final day at the soap is April 27, 2017.^[2] Zucker disclosed she informed the serial of her decision during the Thanksgiving 2016 holiday, stating that she "wanted to let them know, because when we came back [in January], technically I only had eight, maybe 10 weeks left of work, depending on our schedule."^[3]
