According to Channel 4's official Hollyoaks page Nico is "intelligent, funny, but with quite a dark streak", as well as being quite mature for her age, as a result from going to care home to care home. It also mentions that although Nico has a tendency to push people away, this is down to a fear of rejection and in reality she just wants "to be loved and to be a part of a real family" and that she is "looking for a place in the world."

Biography[]

Nico Blake first came to Hollyoaks in 2014. She initially appeared to have a friendly and respectful side towards her fellow residents and closest friends, but soon embarked on a villainous path after developing a penchant for homicide.

It all began when Nico sees her mother, Sienna, being attacked by a woman named Carly Bradley; she intervenes and ends up killing Carly. Afterwards, Sienna helped her daughter cover up the crime. They later discover Carly was the daughter of Sienna's boyfriend, Ben, upon being told by him about her death.

The next day, Nico was taken to police custody after her phone was found at Ben's house where Carly died; she is accused of Carly's murder, but denies it and is released without charge. Two weeks later, Nico tells her love interest Dylan and their friend Maxine Minniver the truth about Carly's death; Dylan, before being sentenced to six months in prison for dealing in legal highs, promises Nico that he will keep Carly's death secret for her.

Soon enough, Nico finds her secret threatened when her relative Patrick becomes suspicious over Carly's death. When he later promises to Nico that he'll make sure that Ben will find out the truth about his daughter's death, Nico decides to kill Patrick after viewing him as a threat to her secret. She convinces Maxine to help her go through with it; however, Maxine doesn't go through with it and so Nico herself kills Patrick instead.

At somepoint, Nico has begun taking medication for her kidney. Soon she begins to forgo her medication and finds support from fellow neighbour Theresa McQueen. At first Nico bonds with Theresa and they become friends, but soon decides to kill her in order to have Theresa's kidney. However, Nico begins to have second thoughts and tries to abort her plan; but it is too late and Theresa dies after unknowingly taking the bait, thus leading to Nico claiming her third murder victim - albeit unintentionally. When Nico later wakes up and finds out what happened to Theresa, she summons Sienna to help cover up the crime. Sienna is mortified to learn what Nico had done, but promises to keep the truth secret in order to protect her daughter. They manage to cover up the truth after Sienna pours the wine into the lake.

By then, Sienna has grown unsettled with her daughter's newfound behaviour. She soon contracts fellow resident Trevor Royle and admits that Nico is out of control, but Nico overhears the conversation and confronts her mother. An argument erupts between the pair that quickly escalates into a confronation that suddenly turns violent, in which a wine bottle gets smashed; Nico then picks up the smashed bottle and stabs her mother with it, before then fleeing and leaving Sienna for dead.

In October 2016, Nico attempts to kidnap her friend Peri - whom she has developed an obsession with. Nico believes she and Peri are meant to be twins, but at the same time has a romantic crush on her. Nico drugs Peri and take her to a bunker they were previously trapped in a year ago. Peri is later rescued and Nico again attempts to kill Peri's boyfriend Tom, who ends up being grazed by this encounter and ends up surviving.

Later on Nico attempts to go on a murderous rampage at a Halloween maze. She is surprised when her mother reappers, having survived their last encounter, and confronts Nico face-to-face. Sienna attempts to talk to Nico and convince her to turn herself in the police, but Nico refuses. They argue when Nico denounces Sienna as her mother, shortly before they find themselves surrounded by fire - as Peri's father Cameron Campbell has set the maze on fire in an attempt to stop Nico's rampage.

hen a beam falls down onto the pair and Sienna's boyfriend Warren comes in to rescue them, Sienna begs Warren to save Nico first. But Warren refuses and ends up rescuing Sienna as Nico watches on. Sienna then cries out to Nico that she loves her, but is saddened when Nico declares that she hates her mother. Sienna again begs Warren to save her daughter Warren refuses and rescues Sienna, Sienna tells Nico she loves her, but Nico replies with "I hate you". Sienna again begs Warren to run back in and save her. He eventually relents, but it is too late and the maze collapses on Nico before Warren can go back inside. Thereafter Sienna screams in as she believes that her daughter is dead.

Two years later in May 2018, however, it is revealed that Nico had actually survived the maze collapse and is alive all along. Sienna soon discovers this when she finds out that Nico is the culprit behind her stalking ordeal, as Nico has taken the mantle of "Sienna's stakler" to terrorize her mother as revenge for seemingly abandoning her in the maze collapse. Nico attempts to kill Sienna again and ends up stabbing her, but Sienna survives and later confronts Nico again. It is then Sienna finds out that her daughter is pregnant, and decides not to go through with killing her; she instead disowns Nico and forces her to leave, but not after allowing her daughter to briefly live with her in the village for the birth of her baby.
