According to SOD:
Fan-favorite Arianne Zucker (Nicole, DAYS), who left Salem in 2017, has already filmed a comeback and will air again this fall. When she left the soap last year, Zucker told Digest she’d be open to a return. “I just don’t want to be on contract right now,” she explained in the 7/17/17 issue. “That’s the only thing.” For more, check out the new issue, on sale Friday.
Personally, I’m not thrilled with the news. I really was hoping that they’d give Nicole’s character a longer break away from the show. Not sure if this is short term or not, but I’d much rather see Carrie and Austin return over Nicole.

I wonder if she didn't like the stories they were giving her character. If she didn't want to be on contract, she could be coming back on recurring status, which I believe would give her the power to decline shooting (ostensibly if there was a schedule conflict or just isn't interested at the time); meaning she could effectively torpedo stories she doesn't like by declining to film them, much the way I understand it has been the case for John Aniston for a long time now.

This is curious and unexpected. I am wondering if she was just so butt-hurt about Shawn C being fired that it clouded her judgement and she wanted out. I haven't seen her in anything since she left so maybe she needs the work.
If she breaks up Eric and Jennifer, I am all on board for her return.

But he was fired years ago, I would think she'd either have had plenty of opportunities to leave earlier, if she were so inclined; or cooled off by the time she did leave.

I thought she left as soon as her contract was up which was a bit after he was fired??? She left at the first opportunity? I don't know...it just seems weird she's coming back so soon after she left.

I mean, she's been gone less than a year hasn't she? And Daniel was killed off what, two or three years ago? Eric had time to leave/go to jail, grow a beard and come back. I know Daniel made a handful of pop-in appearances, but it was probably a good year after his death that Nicole started seeing him in her dreams and him telling her to move on and giving her clues about their baby, but I wouldn't describe the end of that as "firing" him, since he was good and thoroughly dead, with no indication of that being undone. And even then she was still on the show at least another year after learning about Holly before being written off this last time.

Didn’t Daniel just die on New Year’s Eve 2016? That was only a year and a half ago. I could be mistaken and it may have been the year before.

I thought it was that recent, FlyBoy. She moved on with Deimos and then Brady within a year of Daniel dying I thought???
And the show tapes 6 months ahead. So she had a few months to be pissy about Shawn being fired, and then said she wasn't going to stay on contract but her episodes still aired like months and months after she left the show.
