In December 2015, Nicky is upset when Nita is stabbed and killed by Alex Richards. In April 2018, Nicky is diagnosed with cancer. Nick and Nicky see a vicar, Angela, who prays for him. In December 2018, Nicky is taken very ill, and nearly dies. Angela is called for, who prays for him at his bedside, and he is miraculously cured. In May 2019, Nicky is upset when she hears Nita refer to his half-sister Elle Evans as a freak. In December 2019, Swibber Squinteye drugs Nicky & Karen & puts them in the back of a van. However, they wake up and manage to escape. In April 2021, Nicky and Karen go to stay with Nita for Easter. He returns in May. Jade, Emma and the children go on a day out. Nicky, Karen and Robbie wander off, and Nicky and Robbie enter an abandoned mine shaft, despite being stopped by Karen. The mine shaft collapses on top of them. Karen suffers an asthma attack as a result, and passes out. They are found by Jade and Emma. The three all survive. In November 2021, Nicky calls Nita, and tells her that he feels left out, and asks if him and Karen can move to Scotland in the new year. In December 2021, Nicky tells Jade that he and Karen are moving to Scotland. This causes some resentment when Jade is unsupportive, however the three make up, with Nicky and Karen promising to keep in touch. They leave in January 2022. They return for Shive's wedding in July 2022, and then for Jon's funeral. He and Karen return in May 2023, alongside their new friends Luke & Kai. They move back into Hole Street.
