Coronation Street: Ben Price on Alison King's exit as Carla - "Nick will be broken. This is where it ends for them"
"The storyline is brewing up for a huge denouement and it’s really sad," adds the actor

Fans of Nick’s relationship with Carla should brace themselves for emotional trauma – actor Ben Price says that there’s nothing but heartache on the horizon for his Corrie character.
“The storyline is brewing up for a huge denouement and it’s really sad. Nick will be broken by what’s happened and what’s happening to himself. It’s a tough pill for him,” the star tells RadioTimes.com.
Recent episodes of Coronation Street have seen Nick’s anger issues return, leaving him fearful that he’ll never be free of the brain injuries caused by a van crash three years ago. And viewers have been left on tenterhooks, wondering how Nick would react should the truth emerge about bride-to-be Carla’s one-night-stand with chef Robert Preston.
The plotline looks set to build to a climax in the coming months as actress Alison King films her final scenes as Carla. And Price admits that his co-star’s exit is sure to be emotional:
“I’m all for people moving on, but it is a shame that our characters didn’t get together earlier. It is bittersweet and, like with the final Roy and Hayley episodes, the scenes that Ali and I get to share start to mean slightly more because you know that this is the end.
“There will be no more Carla and Nick. This is where it ends for them. And Nick will end up a very different man. But the show has to move beyond their relationship and Nick has to move on too.”
Viewers have already witnessed Carla go to increasingly desperate lengths to keep news of her infidelity from reaching her fiance’s ears, but Price believes that Nick would have understood the situation should she have chosen to unburden herself.
“He would have been completely forgiving. Nick is no spring chicken. And when you get a bit older, you see the grey in life. He slept with his brother’s wife, after all!
“And the Platts understand that not everyone is perfect and that you go through really bad things. But, my god, they stick in. When the Platts are together, they move as one. No matter how bad things get, they’ll be round in five minutes and talking about it on the sofa. But Carla has been on her own all this time and she’s not used to that.”
But perhaps Carla has missed her window of opportunity? Nick’s temper has been on the rise of late with Monday’s double bill having seen him lose control with Bethany’s bullies and be accused of assault as a result. Yet despite the on-screen tensions, Price is of the belief that Nick’s brain injury – and that resulting unpredictability – has been the making of his character:
“It definitely has. Before the brain injury, people always thought of Nick as being a bit of a goodie goodie. But now, as long as Nick’s around, it will always come back. I think it taints him a lot now – even the way he reacts to the most innocuous things. And it’s given me more chances as an actor.
“It’s great to get angry. In that scene with Bethany’s bullies, I told those young kids that when I go for it, it will be quite severe. I saved it for the take, rather than doing it in rehearsal, and I could see this girl physically recoiling and the crew thinking that I’m an absolute lunatic.
"Afterwards, she said to me that she didn’t think it would be like that. So I had to explain that he’s got no off button. You wind him up and he goes. And when I go, I really go.”
Price, this year nominated for Best Actor at the British Soap Awards, has now been a mainstay on Corrie since 2009, managing to combine his role as Nick with outside film projects I’m Sorry to Tell You and Taubman, which he wrote and directed.
“I have another outlet. I don’t just have to be Nick and it gives me a different perspective,” he says of the two shorts, which were made in collaboration with Corrie crew and fellow actors like Jack P Shepherd and Ian Puleston-Davies. “They’re real collaborations and every person who works on them gets a buzz.”
And yet despite him beginning work on a third project, he has no intention of calling time on Corrie.
“What keeps you there are the stories. If I didn't have the stories, it wouldn’t be the place for me. Plus there are all the great relationships I’ve formed: with Jack P Shepherd, Jane Danson, Ali King, all the Platts.
“We make stuff that people react to. And the show has to be kept alive for the actors and audience – you need to constantly be challenging yourself and asking whether you’re doing enough in scenes. And the joy now is that I also get to make films on the side.”

Bit in bold: that appears to answer our question about whether Ben Price is leaving Corrie along with Alison King.
“I’m all for people moving on, but it is a shame that our characters didn’t get together earlier. It is bittersweet and, like with the final Roy and Hayley episodes, the scenes that Ali and I get to share start to mean slightly more because you know that this is the end.
They wont kill her will they?
I'm probably reading too much into that bit lol :p
I think I read that they will leave the door open for Alison King to return one day although I doubt that it will happen :(Quote:

nick is to get violent with carla, could he kill her
What now for him, he still has his flat but no business unless Robert will sell it back or let Nick buy in as a partner, a break off to visit uncle Stephen
I hope Robert sells back half of the bistro to Nick. It would redeem him (unless he gets back with Tracy :angry:), plus give Nick something to do. It's hard to see what other job the latter could do on the street (because of course everyone who lives on Coronation Street must work on Coronation Street! :D).Quote:

Coronation Street bosses are planning an epic showdown on the cobbles when Nick finds out that Steve is the father of Leanne's baby.
Viewers are now aware that Steve is the expectant dad, but that Leanne wants to keep details of their recent one-night stand a secret.
But Corrie fans that expect Steve's marriage to Michelle to come under threat once the truth comes out. Said producer Kate Oates:
"Obviously it's one thing when this guy is an unknown, but it's another when this guy is a neighbour and it's Steve McDonald!
"So when Nick is in possession of this information, it's safe to say that things will kick off between him and Steve - and obviously therefore threaten Steve's precious marriage.
On the topic of whether Nick will feel able to look after Steve's son, Oates added: "The question is: when he discovers that Leanne is pregnant, whether that's a hurdle Nick can overcome. And whether he's willing to bring up another man's child."
The paternity secret looks set to be a major part of Corrie's autumn plotlines - and the impact of Steve being the dad is certainly not lost on Ben Price, who plays Nick:
"Leanne is Nick’s first love, so it should have been Nick. Someone random that you don’t know would have been easier – but it’s Steve!
"He’s very fertile, it's incredible! Plus he owns the pub across the road and he’s a neighbour! That’s the hard aspect."
I find this whole storyline impossible to take seriously because it was such a random event in the first place. Steve and Leanne's one night stand came out of absolutely nowhere and, frankly, was so far-fetched that it makes everything that follows on from it worthless.Quote:

I am hoping but not necessarily holding my breath that with 6 episodes a week that at least will change .. :searchme:
It's all a bit silly and it's a shame Nick is getting dragged into the mess because no doubt he will be the one that ends up getting hurt. Steve wont want anything to do with the baby so Nick will bring it up as his own but obviously with Steve just over the road can he resist his baby being so close and not wanting anything to do with it I very much doubt it.
Steve and Leanne is such a ridiculous decision and I so wish they thought this through properly. Why not just have it be Nick. Steve and Leanne hardly say two words to each other so him just turning up at her door and them jumping into bed is too much
And now all of a sudden Michelle wants a baby too. Come on.
There is already McDonald kids but surely they would want to Carry the Tilsley name forward too. Unless of course Carla left pregnant
If the writers really wanted to give Leanne her own child, let Robert, Peter or Nick be the father not SteveQuote:

I've just defended this storyline a little on the episode discussion thread, but some further thoughts of mine brought up by comments here:
I agree that Leanne and Steve sleeping together was very contrived, however there were a couple of scenes beforehand where they talked (about Steve's marriage I think) and they've known each other a very long time having grown up together on Coronation Street. Even though we're not shown them interacting on a regular basis, I'm willing to believe that they do so off screen. Steve apparently dropped Simon's calculator off at Leanne's looking for a shoulder to cry on after his split with Michelle. They had a few drinks and one thing unexpectedly led to another. I'm assuming it happened over the course of the whole evening, not that they immediately jumped each other as soon as Steve stepped into the flat. :lol:
Although it appears to make little sense to give Leanne Steve's child, I think it does make sense on further reflection. They have good chemistry (a lot better than Steve and Michelle) and I've found their recent scenes pretty compelling viewing. Furthermore, the fallout has and will continue to be dramatic precisely because it's not a safe or predictable choice and will cause a lot of upheaval.
Leanne's recent happiness at finding out she's at last having a much longed-for child of her own, coupled with Steve's reluctant concern, have already lifted this into a welcome storyline for me. Also, anything that causes Michelle aggravation can't be a bad thing! :D
I think Robert would be the best choice too.Quote:

Well, I'll be disappointed if Sean is looking for a revenge too!!! That's not Sean, but then again, he's probably never felt this much let down as now... Todd was like a brother to him...

Is Nick's head injury all better now, I mean I was surprised to see him driving again, he must be cleared to drive
I think the symptoms were supposed to have flared up because of the stress of selling his beloved bistro and the move. The doctor Nick visited put it down to stress if I recall correctly. We didn't see Nick for a few weeks after the disastrous wedding so I guess he was supposed to have got over it and the symptoms receded by then.Quote:

Peter Barlow’s back – and with it comes the feud between him and Nick Tilsley. The two Coronation Street characters are never going to be the best of friends and, even though Peter is happy for Leanne finding happiness again, there is going to be tension between the two street males.
With Leanne and Peter still having unfinished business – and permanently linked together through Simon – a clash is inevitable and Ben Price, who plays Nick, recently confirmed to us at a Coronation Street press event that the animosity between them would be reignited.
He said: ‘It’s brilliant. Chris comes back, obviously I like Chris in real life, I hate Peter Barlow. And I don’t need to say anything – I just look at him, physically, it’s like “Argh”. When his sister came into the Bistro the other day, my first reaction – it wasn’t written in the script – my first reaction is “Ohhh. Arrrgh. Barlow!”. And I’m back with Leanne – OK, I had a nightmare with Carla, I got Leanne back and then he comes back. I’m sick of it. That’s why the show works!
‘The drama is set up, we’ve got the basement and all this and then suddenly we move to this and then suddenly Barlow comes back and you move your attention to that, and then you go “Don’t you start now”. And he will start. I think he definitely will start so yeah it’s great, fantastic. We’re so lucky to have Chris back.’
Peter may start – but who will come out on top?

Coronation Street boss Kate Oates has revealed that Nick Tilsley will have one of the show's main Christmas storylines this year.
Nick (Ben Price) is currently right in the middle of one of Weatherfield's biggest secrets, as his girlfriend Leanne Battersby is carrying Steve McDonald's baby following a one-night stand.
Loyal as ever to Leanne, Nick has agreed to keep up the pretence that he's the father to protect her secret and avoid any trouble with Steve and Michelle. But when was life on the cobbles ever that simple?
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy about the show's Christmas storylines this year, Kate revealed: "It's really tricky to tell you too much about Christmas. You know that Toyah's coming back.
"But we'll also be building some real paranoias for Nick - and I think we should wonder if Nick has a point!
"Nick has a real history with paranoia, especially in recent history since he was so badly burned by Carla only back in May.
"His relationship with Leanne has come really quickly off the back of that. He has committed to raising Steve McDonald's child really quickly too. And I wonder if he's quite as secure as he makes out."
The upcoming return of Nick's arch-nemesis Peter Barlow will also make life even worse for him. So, all things considered, we really wouldn't want to be in Nick's shoes right now.
Kate added: "Peter comes back and his long-standing rivalry with Nick is so deep and so rich.
"Without wanting to re-tread old ground with it, I do think there's a fresh take on it. So I'll be playing that out quite slowly up until Christmas, and I'd really like the audience to go with us on that journey and see where we take it."

I assume he will start getting paranoid about Leanne getting close to Steve or Peter and thinking she will be leaving him for one of them
The poor guy doesn't seem to catch a break for long does he.
Coronation Street’s Ben Price – Nick fears he’s going to lose everything
Coronation Street’s Nick Tilsley thinks his world is falling apart next week as more people discover the truth about Leanne Battersby’s baby daddy.
He’s shocked to discover that Liz McDonald knows the truth and Leanne makes matters even worse for him when she decides to tell her sister Toyah the truth too.
But that’s not the end of Nick’s nightmare as he’s left fuming when he discovers that his arch enemy, Peter Barlow, knows the truth too.
Here Ben Price, who plays Nick, says his alter ego is starting to worry about his future as a family man…
Nick’s paranoia has reached boiling point, why does he feel so threatened by Peter?
Well it’s Peter Barlow, isn’t it, it’s the history of the show. I think Nick does have a good reason and the great thing about Peter and Nick’s relationship is that it is a feud that can go on forever. Chris and I both recognise that we both have to play our parts in being the bad man to bring that out; it is important to keep that balance. And they don’t like each, they are chalk and cheese.
What about Leanne, does Nick doubt the strength of their relationship?
I don’t think he does because if he did, he wouldn’t be as worried. History has told him they were going to get married and that didn’t come off then he was going to get married to Carla and that didn’t come off either. He’s been unlucky enough to know that things don’t always work so I think it’s understandable.
Talk us through what happens between Nick, Peter and Simon in the taxi, and how it makes Nick feel?
Nick’s struggling to find his place with Simon. Nick is not his father but he provides for Simon and he is a stable man for him. Peter is Simon’s father but he’s not a great father so both Nick and Peter are coming at it from different angles with Simon in the middle. But, in the end, Peter is the father and Nick has to realise that. Nothing you can do can ever replace that. Peter doesn’t see what hes got; he’s had so much and thrown it away and continues to throw it away whereas Nick wants so much but he is always unlucky. So another part of the problem is that Nick always sees Peter as lucky – Peter comes out on top, still with the family, still with the girl and is always landing on his feet.
How does Nick feel when he realises Liz knows about Steve being the father of Leanne’s baby?
Nick was hoping that him and Leanne will have their child and Steve and Michelle will have theirs but now the cracks are beginning to show.
Does Nick worry that he’ll be humiliated if the truth were to ever come out?
No, he has been humiliated enough. The Platt family are very good at humiliation; they are very good at getting into extraordinary situations and getting out of them and that’s part of their longevity. Nick’s worries run deeper. He worries he could lose Leanne, he could lose the baby and he could be on his own again. It’s more to do with everything could go for him.
What is going through Nick’s mind as he comes up with his drastic plan to move to Edinburgh, with Simon in tow?
Nick comes up with this plan to give Simon a better life. It is also to test Leanne a bit but it is a selfish move.
How does Nick feel when Peter reveals he knows about Steve and the baby?
Nick feels angry because he knows Peter will use it against him. Now that is humiliation to Nick because it is Peter and the humiliation is Peter using it against him and I think that hurts.
Do you think Nick wished he’d never got involved with Leanne’s baby lie?
No, because Nick does love Leanne. Nick has always loved Leanne and it is true when he says he will always be there for her.
Have you enjoyed scrapping with Chris Gascoyne since he returned from the show?
I love Chris Gascoyne. He is a fine actor, he is a good mate and some of my best work has been with him. It’s about recognising that you both have to be pushing and pulling at different times to make it work, like a pendulum, and that’s why he is a pro. We had an 8 hour fight scene and we aren’t getting any younger so by the end of it we were tired trying to hit each other, we are getting old now! But we’ve been scrapping for a number of years and I missed him when he was away. The best memories for me was when Peter had the bookies and Nick had the bistro because it was either side of the street and it was just great every time Nick had to walk past him having a fag outside.
