“Peter runs away from a situation, David fights against a situation whereas I think Nick just digs in.
“He’s here, he knows it’s going to get really messy but he’ll stick by her, stand there and fight and do whatever needs to be done.”
“He wants to give Leanne stability but I think he’s going to find it difficult with Simon, especially now he’s got his own son. I hope he doesn’t have to make a choice…”
