Great stuff. I'm actually looking forward to this. Never thought I'd say that about Nick again.

Loving Charlie and Ronnie. I almost hate to see their happiness ruined but I'm looking forward to Nick's return. I agree with him about Charlie Cotton Senior. I never understood the decision to kill him off.

I only started watching a couple of years ago so I'm very excited to see Nick and discover what he's like!

I can see Nick going the same way as Dr Drake Ramoray after seeing John say he has to rewrite the scripts.

John Altman is 62 so I am guessing Nick must be in his 50's now.

Slightly off topic but last night's episode was the first time Nick Cotton and Alfie Moon ever appeared in the same episode!

Reading the interview and "long term arc" is mentioned, sounds like this could be his longest single stint in EE over the last thirty years.

Didn't we see his date of birth on the coffin? About 62 I think so a similar age to David Wicks and Carol. That would make Dot 25 when he was born and him about 23 when EE started which sounds about right. Nick was older than the teenage lot but not that much older - certainly closer to them in age than the lot hitting 40.
And if Nick is 62 now, he would have been in his early thirties and not his early twenties when the show came out.

I do hope that Nick stands up to the Philth this time around even though he is even older than the poison potato.
The nastier Nick is the better and I truly believe this return will be iconic as the standard of writing should be the best for John since the early 1990's. Bring on the Boogeyman!

The 2000 stint was Ok with the feud with Mark (and as an adolescent Ashley Cotton was my first crush!) but the 2009 stint was awful - a bad replay of the greatest hits (devil child who can't act trying to bump off Ma!)
This time it feels different - Nick's return is not the start of a new storyline but rather something that started way back in April! It feels different now Charlie Jr and Yvonne are around. What will Nick be up to I wonder - we haven't been told much. I have a feeling this will conclude in February so the Nick/Dot story will be part of the anniversary celebrations so we have Ian, Nick and Sharon, the only remaining original characters (unless Dr Legg or someone pops round for a cup of tea) can be part of the big event. |
