Curry Barker was offered $2 million to rewrite ‘OBSESSION’ and have Bear as the hero.
“I’m not rewriting the script to make Bear a guy that does all the right things.”

Rich people are so intensely anxious and neurotic and unhappy, I think it’ll be a genuine relief for them to just sweep the sidewalks and pull weeds after the revolution
It's established pretty quickly that the wish version of Nikki is not her and if it was she was having a severe mental crisis but Bear didn't care about that, he was fine being with someone who just looked like Nikki without her real personality
suggests that she DID like him but never wants anyone to know, which she specifically said, so when she told Sarah she thought of him as a brother that was her playing cool, but she never wanted to be a subservient obsessive girlfriend
So I think it's more complicated than just that she did not have feelings for him and the wish changed that, obviously Bear is still very much the villain, of course
