Nick Walker

Nick Walker is a fictional character in the soap opera Beverley Terrace, played by Danny Dyer. He was created and introduced by series creator Ashley Rivera, making his first appearance alongside his on-screen Walker family on 10 November 2014.

Creation and development
The character was created by Rivera alongside his wife, Sally Walker (Sally Dynevor), their two kids, Billy Walker (Tommy Knight) and Emily Walker (Hetti Bywater), and Sally's sister, Denise Gold (Gemma Merna).

Nick was described as a "dark character", and it was revealed of his abusive background in the first episode. Rivera described that his behavior towards Sally derived from an affair that she had, which created her third son, Johnny, who Nick disallows her from seeing.

2014–
Nick was first seen making severe eye contact with his wife, Sally. When drunk, she taunted him, asking him if he was going to "hit" her, which he reacted to later that night. It was later revealed that she had a third son, Johnny, who he forces her to stay out of contact with. When she breaches these rules, he grabs her as Sally's sister, Denise, walks in. Denise threatens to call the police, but Nick threatens her, later telling Sally that she shouldn't speak to Denise anymore, which she abides to.

Critical reception
The domestic abuse storyline was praised by viewers of the show, saying that it was "portrayed well", showing enthusiasm for the fact that a backstory was provided.
