Nicoletta "Nicky" di Marco made her first appearance 29 January 1998. She is portrayed by Carly Hillman.
Storylines[]
Nicky arrived with mother Rosa di Marco, brothers Beppe and Gianni and sister Teresa in 1998.
In her first few years, she had very little to do apart from being the best friend of Sonia Jackson and briefly dating Jamie Mitchell, Asif Malik and Martin Fowler.
Her only major storyline came in 2000 when her mother Rosa arranged for some home maths lessons to help with her exams. Her tutor was Rod Morris, who she fell in love with. Nicky made the first move on her tutor and he initially reciprocated, but then took things too far and sexually assaulted Nicky, who then told her family what had happened.
This led to her overprotective brother Gianni attacking Rod. Gianni was charged with assault but the charges were dropped when Nicky admitted that she had not told the whole truth. Nicky then admitted that she was afraid that her family wouldn't have believed that she had been molested if she had admitted she'd made the first move, when she realised her family had doubts of her innocence, she decided to leave home, and was last seen explaining that she had received the address for a hostel. The rest of the di Marco family except Beppe left Walford soon after for a new life in Leicester in August 2000. The charges on Rod were also dropped.
Sonia and Nicky later reunited through social media, and Reiss Colwell contacted Nicky in September 2024 but she was unable to help him as she had not seen Sonia for over twenty years.
