Nicole Owen

Nicole Owen is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Ciara Janson.

Nicole dismissed him as a puppy, which helped cause a dejected Ali into confronting Stephen "Macki" Mackintosh with a knife.

"A victim of evil sex predator Andy Holt, it's fair to say Nicole didn't have the smoothest of times in Hollyoaks.

In the late night special Hollyoaks: Back from the Dead, Nicole went on a trip with Andy Holt, the serial rapist, as part of a trap for her brothers Sam and Russ Owen.

After a failed escape attempt, Sam threatened to pour boiling water over Nicole if she didn't tell him where Sophie was.

After Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and Wayne Tunnicliffe (Joe Marsden) got her drunk with the intent to sleep with her, Nicole decided that enough was enough, and promptly left Hollyoaks with her parents.

When her friends Nancy, Sarah and Hannah, who had avoided her after the pub explosion, asked her if she would stay in contact with them, Nicole answered simply 'No'.

Nicole returned in December 2006 for Becca Dean's (Ali Bastian) trial where she gave evidence against Becca-much to the annoyance of her supposed friend Nancy.

Nicole returned in 2007 for the wedding of Mercedes McQueen and Russ, where she begged her brother to reconsider his choice of bride.

Nicole later returns in 2019 after receiving a call from her nephew, Max, saying that Mercedes doesn't love him and he wants to stay with her in Greece.

She refuses, but snaps at Breda McQueen (Moya Brady), saying that she loves her son Bobby Costello (Jayden Fox) more than Max, which he overhears.

In July 2019, Nicole brings Max back to the village where Mercedes, Sylver, Breda and Nana McQueen (Diane Langton) organised a party for him.
