Another year of Nick Tilsley

You read that correctly! Ben Price has signed a new 12 month contract and he'll be around on our screens for another year. According to the Daily Star, that is. They're reporting that ITV has big plans for Nick not the least of which is a one night fling with Becky and there are rumours that he'll have a relationship with Eva, Stella Price's daughter.

I reckon that's probably true. If you can't have one sister, you can always make do with another.

In Ben's short time on the Street, he's already snogged Tina, Natasha, Leanne, and Tracy Barlow and he's been involved in a couple of major storylines. I have seen comments over the past year and a half by people that don't rate him as an actor, but I think he does a very good job of being Nasty Nick. The character is self centered, vile and thoroughly dislikeable, and the actor is doing a very good job of making me holler at the telly so he must be doing something right!

I think hes great! Every time I see him I remember him as Conrad Gates on Footballers wives. Glad his contract has been renewed!

Eeeeew...... Couldn't stand him on Footballers Wives, and he's even more revolting in Corrie.....enough to put you off your dinner :p

Really? all he does is prance around The Bistro and listen to his mother whinge why not get rid of this bit of dead wood and have him jump off the viaduct. His business seems like it failing (no surprise there) he could go out in style. I wish to god they had got Adam Rekitt back compared to this joker he was practically Oscar worthy.

Unfortunately he looks far too old to be Gail's son, is extremely annoying and should have been recast while they had the chance. Why do they keep renewing duffer's contracts and getting rid of good characters - dah?

I like Nick and actor Ben Price, glad he is staying on longer. But seriously though, a one night stand with Becky? Does she have to be involved with almost every character in the street. Not looking forward to that.

Adam Rekitt said...

He looks far too old to play Nick. No-one would think he was 30. He can't act - he has two expressions: pained and disgusted.

The character is not credible. Where did he get the money to make substantial investments in busineses? He has no friends and only his Mum to talk to. And the idea he is attractive to women is laughable. Tyrone has more sex appeal.

Renewing his contract and axing Steve Huison is barmy.

I am very happy to hear this! We are just getting into the Nick/Leanne/Natasha storyline here in Canada and I find myself looking forward to his screen time. His scenes with Peter are charged - you can feel the anger and resentment coming right through the telly. I might be the only one, but I really like Nasty Nick!

Nick makes for a brilliant 'love to hate' character. So utterly self-absorbed and so very controlling and manipulative.

Kate said...

Nick isn't annoying me as much now as he used to, but that's because he's been mostly reduced to scenes in the Bisto, which is fine by me. PS That photograph represents one of my favourite scenes in the last ~6 months or so!!

NOOOO!!! Nick is a terrible, stuck-up and disgusting character who I have come to despise.
