Although Nick Newman grew up starving for the affection of his father Victor, he was very close to his stepfather Jack. At ten years old, Nick went away to spend six years in a Switzerland boarding school and wasn't seen again until his sixteen birthday.
Being a teenage boy, Nick had girls on the mind! Although he dated Amy Wilson, Nick set his sights on Amy's friend Sharon Collins who was involved with Nick's rival Matt Clark. After Sharon eventually left Matt for Nick, Matt sought revenge by beating the heck out of Nick and raping Sharon! Hoping that he would destroy Nick and Sharon for good, Matt told Nick that Sharon had given up her child for adoption, but Nick and Sharon remained intact. However, after Sharon confessed that Matt had raped her, Nick went to confront Matt and found him dead on his floor! Nick was convicted of murder and sentenced to fifteen years in jail, but was later exonerated after Amy Wilson came forward and admitted to shooting Matt after he had raped her.
Against his mother's wishes, Nick and Sharon married and had a son Noah. Although the two had a happy marriage, Nick came home drunk one night and slept with Sharon's friend Grace Turner thinking she was his wife! Grace assured Nick that his infidelity would remain a secret. A year later, Grace came to Sharon and Nick with the news that she found Sharon's long lost daughter. Though Nick had a hard time accepting Cassie at first, he soon welcomed her as his own.
Nick later went on to cheat on Sharon again with Grace, but this time his wife found out and took the kids and left! It wasn't until Cassie's adoptive mother wanted her back that Nick and Sharon reconciled to win custody of Cassie. Determined to make their marriage work, Nick took on an executive job at Newman and he and Sharon bought the Crimson Lights Coffeehouse, the place where they fell in love.
Nick challenged his father unlike anyone else after turning the great Victor Newman into the Feds for sabotaging Jabot's comeback campaign! Victor was sentenced to community service and Nick's relationship with his father was badly damaged. However, when Victor asked Nick to travel with him to his father's deathbed, Nick realized what his father had gone through and understood why he felt the need to fight so fiercely for everything he owned! Little by little, the two repaired their relationship and Victor made Nick CEO of Newman.
Throughout the years, Nick and Sharon's marriage survived numerous affairs, a miscarriage, family illnesses, kidnappings and near death experiences, but their love became truly tested with the death of their daughter Cassie. Now a teenager, Cassie became smitten with sixteen year old Daniel Romalotti. After lying to Nick and Sharon, Cassie went to a party and found a drunken Daniel passed out in the backseat of his car. Wanting to help him, Cassie took his keys and attempted to drive home. Her inexperience behind the wheel caused her to wreck and she later died as a result from the accident.
Nick was devastated and became withdrawn from Sharon and obsessed with making Daniel pay for Cassie's mistake. In the end, Nick came forward with evidence that proved that Daniel was innocent. With his marriage on the rocks, Nick began a passionate affair with Daniel's mother Phyllis Abbott. Soon Nick and Sharon separated, then found their marriage over after Phyllis became pregnant. When Phyllis expressed to Nick that she wasn't sure if the baby was his or Jack's, a paternity test was administered but Nick was the only one to view the results and then claimed that he was the father! Although Nick found himself scared to the bone when Sharon was kidnapped after getting drawn into Brad Carlton's past, she ended up okay and the two divorced.
Not wasting any time, wanting to avoid the six-month waiting period, Nick and Phyllis flew to Mexico and got married! Shortly after, the couple gave birth to a little girl named Summer. While Nick appears to have it all, little did he know, there was an impostor out there with Phyllis' face! His new bride and his daughter were kidnapped by Shelia Carter and Nick's had to fight with all he had to get them back!
Since then, Nick has survived the Clear Springs debacle and the coma of his sister, Victoria. He had a falling out with his father, Victor, and left Newman Enterprises, however. Deciding to start fresh on his own, he began a partnership with Jack Abbott and their wives, and started up a fashion magazine called Restless Style. The partnership deteriorated over time, and Nick bought out Jack's share. Recently, Nick made the decision to also go back to work at Newman as Victor has disappeared from town, while he is mourning the death of his wife.

At home, Nick takes the call from Katherine and agrees to meet her right away. Phyllis comes downstairs and he tells her there's no crisis - more like an opportunity!
Nick and Katherine sit in the dining room at the Club. She tells him about the plan for Chancellor to go public, and says that the Newman family is at the top of her list of investors. Nick is honored. Katherine notes that not everyone is invited to join in on this. They discuss the implications with the SEC, and Kay compliments him on the way he handled the Caymans bank thing. Nick thanks Kay for the opportunity, saying he'll spread the word to the other Newmans. Katherine heads out, just as Adam walks in. Nick and Adam exchange a few barbs, and Nick mentions he was at a business meeting. Adam asks if it's anything he should know about. Nick says no, and leaves.
Jack arrives at the tack house looking for Nick. Phyllis tells him that Nick's not there, but she needs to talk to him. Jack is in a lather about Nick deciding the deal is off. Phyllis realizes why Nick opted out - she informs Jack that she told Nick they slept together! Jack questions her sudden attack of conscience. Phyllis explains about Patty seeing them, and thinking she is Diane - she has the past and present tangled up! Jack realizes that Patty poisoned Summer to get revenge on Diane, who was actually Phyllis. Jack muses that Nick must hate his guts! Phyllis points out that Nick was with Sharon at the time. Just then, Nick comes through the door. Phyllis tells him that she told Jack what happened with Patty. Jack begins an involved apology, but Nick cuts him off saying there is nothing to gain by looking at the past. Jack brings up the business deal, but Nick assures him he won't be going into business with him! Jack tells him not to let emotion cloud his judgment - Nick says that's what he did when he agreed to it in the first place! Phyllis wonders if Nick is Jack's last resort. Nick says he'll always be grateful for Jack being there when he was little, but that's over. After he leaves, Nick tells Phyllis about his meeting with Kay. He notes he also saw Adam, who is out in the open, but being very careful - which probably means he's hiding something! Phyllis tells Nick she's defrosting a turkey to have Thanksgiving there. Nick raises his eyebrows at the idea of her cooking, but says it will be great.
Nick walks into his house, and finds Phyllis distraught and insisting that they need a new sofa! She explains that she's the reason that Patty attacked Summer - she followed Jack there and saw them through the window. Nick asks if they were talking? Phyllis says they weren't - they were having sex! Nick is taken aback, but Phyllis makes it clear that he has no place to be upset about the sex - he had left her to be with Sharon, and Sharon had left Jack. Nick listens as she explains that Patty thought she wanted Jack, and that's why she attacked Summer. Tearfully, Phyllis asks Nick how she is supposed to live with that?! Nick tells Phyllis that Patty is a lunatic! Phyllis says if only she wasn't so lonely and vulnerable... Nick jumps in and says it's his fault - he's the one who abandoned her and left. They agree that it could have been much worse - Patty could have come in the house that night with Summer upstairs. Phyllis brings up Emily Peterson - why didn't she fix Patty - that's her job. Nick says she's just looking for a place to direct her rage. Nick tells her they all have some blame in this, but no one has done more than Phyllis to make it right - she's the best mother Summer could ask for. He encourages her to focus on moving forward. They kiss, and go up to bed to make love. After, Nick leaves Jack a phone message that the Chancellor stock deal between them is not going to happen!
