From 2000-2005 (and in 2014), Nicholas played Dr Anthony Trueman.

Anthony was in the thick of it in terms of storylines. While mourning his mother Audrey’s death, he met his long-lost dad Patrick for the first time in decades at the funeral.

It was the start of a fractious relationship between the two.

And when it came to his love life, let’s just say Dr Anthony got involved with the Slaters – he dated both Kat and her daughter Zoe, causing ructions galore.
