To be fair I think Potter simply repeated what he was told by rolin bc he used his same words, in another bit in fact he said Nicki loved Lestat and Lestat is the only person who gave him that love back. Like many others I agree with you there that the acting doesn't reflect that unbalance of love at all
For me that is the biggest giveaway.
Because they have talked about things "one way" before, while there were already clues in the show, detailing another.
They just... don't want to give things away?? Which is understandable.
Let's just... let it click into place.
