Does she have any relationship with Dooku? I remember some place said they had feeling for each other?

I think that stems from this part of the AOTC script that was cut:

AOTC script said:

A bronze bust of Count Dooku stands among a line of other
busts of Jedi in the Archive Room. OBI-WAN stands in front
of it, studying the striking features of the chiseled face.

On the walls, lighted computer panels seem to stretch into
infinity. Farther along the room in the background, FIVE
JEDI are seated at tables, studying archive material.

After OBI-WAN studies the bust for a few moments before
MADAME JOCASTA NU, the Jedi Archivist, is standing next to
him. She is an elderly, frail-looking human Jedi. Tough as
old boots and smart as a whip.

JOCASTA NU: Did you call for assistance?

OBI-WAN: (distracted in thought) Yes... yes, I did...

JOCASTA NU: He has a powerful face, doesn't he? He was one
of the most brilliant Jedi I have had the privilege of
knowing.

OBI-WAN: I never understood why he quit. Only twenty Jedi
have ever left the Order.

JOCASTA NU: (sighs) The Lost Twenty... Count Dooku was the
most recent and the most painful. No one likes to talk
about it. His leaving was a great loss to the Order.

OBI-WAN: What happened?

JOCASTA NU: Well, Count Dooku was always a bit out of step
with the decisions of the Council... much like your old
Master, Qui-Gon Jinn.

OBI-WAN: (surprised) Really?

JOCASTA NU: Oh, yes. They were alike in many ways. Very
individual thinkers... idealists...

JOCASTA NU gazes at the bust.

JOCASTA NU: He was always striving to become a more
powerful Jedi. He wanted to be the best. With a lightsaber,
in the old style of fencing, he had no match. His knowledge
of the Force was... unique. In the end, I think he left
because he lost faith in the Republic. He believed that
politics were corrupt, and he felt the Jedi betrayed
themselves by serving the politicians. He always had very
high expectations of government. He disappeared for nine or
ten years, then just showed up recently as the head of the
separatist movement.

There's not much more to it, but I'm open to seeing it used well in the EU.

I think some of those lines were in the AoTC novelization as well.

Was this just cut from the script, or was there a deleted scene as well?

Funny. Jocasta Nu didn't strike me as "tough". As far as being "smart", I got the sense that her wits had faded with her years, to the point of being senile.

"If it isn't in the archive, then it doesn't exist." Yeah, great logic, lady.

She struck me as annoying and having a large superiority complex. I bet she felt silly after she found out Kamino existed and was erased from her precious archives. I enjoyed killing her in the rots game.

LOL such a great thread. Nice little tidbit that was cut from AOTC as well
