Was there any pre-publicity that Nick's character on DOOL was going to be killed off?

I knew there would be a murder, it is November, somebody always gets killed.

I was hoping it would be Nick.

The NBC commercial for this weeks episodes shows Gabi whacking him with the rock and Sami and Kate helping to dump the body.

I love it when Sami and Kate team up.

Edit:

@Fresh Horses I LOVE your thought, I don't think Nick will come back but it is true that Salem is full of zombies and I might well be wrong.

Not that I am aware of, I highly doubt that Nick is actually dead yet. I think Gabi just knocked him out and that he will come around floating in the water and turn into a stalker or try to kidnap Gabi or the baby. This is days and no one ever really seems to die

I hope Nick is gone for good this time, he was one scary sick puppy, surprised Hope didn't figure him out, his family is in for a big shock!

November Sweeps from SOD and Ken Corday.

A major character meets their demise. A frantic cover-up ensues involving three unlikely people.

I heard via soaps.sheknows.com that they were in talks to kill him off or send him to New York because his contract was up and yeah I think its just the time to remove folks as I notice a lot more soaps are doing that..

Yes i heard he would be leaving the show. I guess that's the only way to get rid of him is by killing him off. HE isn't dead. I saw that today.

I didn't hear it beforehand. But I hope he stays dead. I hate him.
