Development

Nikki arrives in Charnham with his father Andrew (Simon Cook) step-mother Nikki (Rebecca Blake), sister Sara (Beth Cordingly) and step siblings Becky (Chandra Reugg) and Darren Scott (Joe Fox). He develops feelings for Nikki and they begin an affair. But Nikki's ex-husband Adrian Scott (Ariyon Bakare) soon learns of their affair. So Luke decides to go to university in Scotland. When he next sees Nikki they sleep together despite vowing not too.

Blake told Diana Hollingsworth from Soaplife that "there's a strong sexual chemistry between Nikki and Luke, but I think she's actually fallen in love with him now." But their affair would destroy the Warrington family due to the nuclear family they worked hard to build. Blake added "It would blow the family apart completely. He's a very straight guy - I don't think he could envisage a bigger betrayal. It couldn't be worse." Blake observed that Nikki only gave into their attraction when she consumed alcohol.

Warrington

Warrington is a town in the north west of England, historically part of Lancashire but, since 1974, within the ceremonial county of Cheshire. It stands on the banks of the River Mersey, 18.5 miles (29.8 km) east of Liverpool, and 16 miles (26 km) west of Manchester. The population in 2011 was 202,228; its population has more than doubled since its designation as a New Town in 1968. The population of the 'built up area' of the town stands at 165,456, ranking 46th out of all urban areas in the UK.

Warrington was founded by the Romans at an important crossing place on the River Mersey. A new settlement was established by the Saxons. By the Middle Ages, Warrington had emerged as a market town at the lowest bridging point of the river. A local tradition of textile and tool production dates from this time.

Historically in Lancashire, the expansion and urbanisation of Warrington coincided with the Industrial Revolution, particularly after the Mersey was made navigable in the 18th century. The West Coast Main Line runs north to south through the town, and the Liverpool to Manchester railway (the Cheshire Lines route) west to east. The Manchester Ship Canal cuts through the south of the borough (west to east). The M6, M56 and M62 motorways form a partial box around the town.
