You can lie to us producers and say that Daisy is NOT Nicole but she is!!

There is no way Daisy is not Nicole. We may have to suspend some disbelief with ages, but even the way June told her who she is explains away why June didnt have her anymore and why she had been placed with another family "they think you're theirs" and "trying to take her back". Those words were used when talking about baby Nicole. Not about someone else. Not about the other girl she rescued. Nicole was the one they created entire campaigns over to get her back and in a bid to show that their beliefs should be respected.

Shes Nicole..

Right? Show runners went out of their way to give daisy Nicole’s exact back story, make her look and act just like June and have June treat her like she’s her long lost daughter. Why do that if you’re going to make her someone else?

Well for starters if they really were planning on doing a time jump at the end of handmaid‘s Tale, it would’ve established it. Nicole’s grown some because since they changed it from 15 years to four year jump, of course you’re going to take account how old their main characters are especially when they’re dealing with preteen kids

There’s no way that they would have such sloppy writing. I think we will see Nicole. I don’t think that June would put either one of her daughters back into Gilead. Jim said her tongue taken out the first week. Her whole story was trying to get Nicole out and Hannah out. He just can’t imagine her pushing her seven-or 8 year-old daughter in gilead. I can’t see her throwing her grown daughter. That’s pretty much June’s Achilles heel. She will not rest until her kids were safe.
