With the upcoming exits of David, Bianca and Terry, the three characters Nikki only seems to interact with, what do you think will happen to her character?

Personally I'd like to see her stay. Even if it's to just keep the Cindy/TJ pregnancy storyline going, she is a good character and could be a new tamer Janine Butcher or Clare Bates type. Maybe a friendship in Roxy could work.

Looks like she's leaving soon.

A fan on Twitter met the actress a few days ago (Thursday I think) and she told them it was her last day filming.

Also, Patsy Palmer posted this:

Aw that is a shame I felt like she had a lot more potential in sticking around!

I don't mean to be personal but I really hate the way Patsy Palmer's exit is going to essentially wipe out a strong family unit with history / longevity on Albert Square. I know Michael French was already due to leave but I fear that Lindsey Coulson will be following suit any day now. I am quite surprised Dominic Treadwell-Collins has taken the decision to get rid of Terry Spraggan and Nicki - both likeable characters - as they could potentially have continued as a separate unit into the future without the Butchers / Jacksons.

Shame. Patsy Palmer strikes again!

She must be very unpopular, having lost quite a few people their jobs!

Oh she'll be back in about two years, probably with Ricky by her side. Then a brief return of Sam Mitchell to play out the expected love triangle. That's my guess

I think where they went wrong with the Spraggans was having TJ being too similar a character to Liam, who incidentally doesn't seem to be very popular and is only valuable to the show because he and Tiffany have more blood links than any other character.

Also, if DTC knew that he didn't have Patsy Palmer contracted long enough to tell whatever story he was planning with Bianca and Terry, then I think he should either have negotiated a suitable extension from the outset, or introduced Nikki as a semi regular rather than a guest to begin with, having her build up relationships on the Square. That would have given them more scope to keep the Spraggans in as their own characters. As it is, they're too isolated and not popular enough.

Having Nikki chase David was a big mistake I think. David might never have stuck around but I think Carol/David fans blame Nikki more for what happened between them (and hate her as a result.) Finally, everyone seems bored of teen pregnancy; not the best storyline to stick an isolated new character in the middle of.
