Adam is shocked when Daniel reveals his relationsh­ip with Nicky this week, and decides to put a stop to it – by offering her money to steer clear of Daniel. A row with a client over payment sees Nicky get arrested, and Adam become involved in the situation when Daniel calls in at the office and begs him to go to the police station to represent his ‘friend’… “By the time Adam gets to the station, Nicky’s already been let go,” says Kimberly Hart-simpson, who plays her. “The client decides not to press charges, so she gets released, by which point Daniel’s decided to send Adam to be her saving grace – which makes Adam suspicious.” After Adam reports back that the police have released Nicky, Daniel phones her and invites her to come over to the flat, just as friends. “Nicky goes round, and tells Daniel to stay out of her life,” exclaims Kimberly. “I don’t think she wants it to be the last time she sees Daniel, yet she needs it to be.

But Adam is uneasy with the situation, and takes action, confrontin­g Nicky. “Nicky doesn’t see what the issue is, and as far as she’s concerned, it has nothing to do with Adam anyway,” explains Kimberly. “They’ve come up with a solution that works for both of them, and it’s none of Adam’s business. People judge Nicky all the time and expect her to behave in a certain way. But she’s sick of being judged, and for the first time in a long time, she likes someone – whether that’s more than friendship, we don’t know…” However, when Adam offers her cold, hard cash to stay away from Daniel once and for all, will Nicky be persuaded to take the money and run?
