Is Ben Price now Nick Tilsley for you?

It's now approaching two years since Ben Price took over as Nick Tilsley. When Ben first took over, many were unsure as to wether or not they liked him. His initial plotlines didn't help much. Once Nick was out of Underworld, the character seemed to grow into his own.

He is very clearly a buisnessman and not a child anymore, which is the main reason for Ben being cast in the role, he comes off as very bossy, but he still has that charm that Nick always has had. Now, Nick is the owner of Nick's Bistro, his very own bar/restaurant. I think Ben has settled into the role of Nick and hope he's here for years to come.

While i think he's made Nick his own character, i never thought Nick had charm. Just smarm and he does that well too. So what's a big bad business man still doing living with his mummy? Same old Nick.

Hated him in Underworld, and then I thought he was slimy and underhand in the affair with Leanne but am growing to like him now. Maybe it's because he has less screen time, or maybe it's because Ben is fianlly settling down into the role. He will always be a jumped up mummy's boy but he's our jumped up mummy's boy!

Nick and Gail have a chemistry on-screen but he still looks too old to be her son. If you think of Gail as the help in the Bistro, it works well! I don't think this incarnation of Nick can carry a major story line but he's good at the humorous one-liners.

Did pretty well at the tram crash time, I thought.

He might be a better Bar Owner than Carla is a Factory Owner, but that's not saying much. If the character is just going to have unconvincing romances, then what's the point? He's boring, charmless and makes no impact.

And Ben Price looks FAR too old for the role.

I just wish they would make him grow his hair a bit and bleach it as nicky was so good looking and actually ben price was too when he was in footballers wives...

Warren Jackson will always be Nicky to me. I don't know why either of the new Nickys haven't gelled for me in the way that the replacement Sophie, Rosie or David have; I think it's perhaps because each replacement came with an entirely new personality. I've grown used to Ben Price but if he vanished into thin air I wouldn't mourn him.
