Asked if his character could wreck the place to claim on insurance, the 47-year-old actor explained: "Nick’s bizarrely moral in terms of people and danger but not at all in terms of money.
"If he thought there was no one in the factory, which is meant to be the case on the day of the roof collapse, then yes he could be capable of it.
"The stakes have to be high enough for Nick for him to go that far. Could he use it to his advantage, does he feel he’s got no other options?
"Nick’s a planner. If he knows there’s no one due to be in there, it could be the perfect opportunity."
He added: "The roof is already a mess, do a bit more damage and blame it on Carla maybe.
"If it’s just purely financial, controlled and no one could get hurt then yes, I think he would do it.
"If he can come out of the situation well and move on, then fine."
He added that we might be about to see Nick become one of the soap's baddies.
Nick said: "I don’t know whether he’s an out and out archetypal villain but has he had enough of being pushed around and being the nice guy? Yes."
"Does he think he’s smarter than most people on that street? Yes. Does he think he can get away with most things? Yes he does.
"Nick’s come back to the street thinking: I’m going to get something for myself, I’ve looked after everyone else over the years and all they’ve done is take from me – his wife, his family, his brother, Carla, his business, the bistro.
The star added: "Anything he’s ever started has been taken from him and actually he’s had enough.
"He thinks none of them are that smart so catch me! Maybe David is though, we’ll have to see."
