Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, Hart-Simpson was concerned about her role at first. It wasn’t Nicky being a sex worker, but how it would affect safety protocols after the lockdown was lifted. She worked so hard to get on the soap and snag this role that she didn’t want to lose it due to the pandemic. However, now she knows a bit more about Nicky’s story and it seems we are all going to be surprised.

The actress also noted that Nicky represents a real woman and she hopes that she plays it right. She seemed to hint that Nicky is a unique woman with her own reasons for getting into this line of work. Nicky’s job does not define her as an individual and has nothing to do with her true character.
