Nikki Reed appeared in Genoa City in 1978 after having an affair with and contracting a sexually transmitted disease from a young Paul Williams. Not having the best childhood, and killing her father after he tried to rape her, Nikki worked at the Bayou as a stripper where she met her soul mate, Victor Newman. After spending one night together, Victor denied his feelings for Nikki and set her up with Kevin Bancroft. Nikki and Kevin married and she soon found out that she was pregnant. After her daughter Victoria had been kidnapped by Kevin's mother, it was discovered that Victor was the father and the baby was returned to Nikki.
Throughout the years, amongst the many marriages and divorces in which Nikki and Victor's relationship endured, Nikki dealt with numerous trials and tribulations including becoming an alcoholic, being addicted to pain killers, losing her child with Jack while arguing with Victor, thinking Victor was dead after he took refuge in Kansas, being shot by the crazed ex-wife of her once husband Josh Landers, and leaving Brad Carlton at the altar - just to name a memorable few.
Through it all, having lived most of her life dependent on various men, Nikki stood on her own when she invested thirty-five million dollars in Jabot Cosmetics and took a seat on their board!
Before their reunion in 2002, Nikki saved Victor from fathering the child of Diane Jenkins after Nikki found out that Diane stole Victor's sperm! Nikki hired someone to secretly swap out Victor's sample with another prior to Diane's insemination. Unfortunately, the mystery donor turned out to be Jack Abbott and Nikki changed his life in an instant. After remarrying, Nikki and Victor pulled together and became a rock for their children who had developed their own set of problems throughout the years.
It wasn't until the Jabot/Newman cosmetic war began when Victor and Nikki found themselves on opposing sides at work, which in turn followed them home. After it was revealed that Victor single-handedly sabotaged Jabot's campaign, causing Nikki to lose millions, their marriage was put to the ultimate test! However, in the end, Nikki stood by Victor's side during his commercial bribery trial.
After Victor was sentenced to community service, he decided to turn an old warehouse into a Rec Center for kids. Realizing that it was the same building that her drunken father had worked at, Nikki began to have strange flashbacks from her childhood. It turned out that she had suppressed a traumatic time in her life. While playing with her father's gun, at five years old, Nikki had shot her best friend Joshua Cassen (Bobby Marsino's brother) and her father had buried him in the cement in the same building! During construction for the Rec center, Joshua's body was found and Nikki was forced to face her past.
In 2006, Nikki regained her footing in the business world and partnered up with Victor and Phyllis Abbott to form NVP Retreat Spas. However, after Victor was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, he sold his shares to Jack Abbott and Nikki has been in a tiff about it ever since! Now that Victor's Epilepsy is under control, after undergoing Gamma Knife Radiosurgery, Nikki and Victor are determined to regain control of NVP after finding out that Jack had been going behind their backs for months and had secretly regained ownership of Jabot with company funds!
In 2007, Nikki came to the aid of her best friend Katherine Chancellor and held her hand as Kay told Jill that she had switched her child at birth!
After the Clear Springs explosion put her pregnant daughter Victoria in a coma, Nikki, along with boyfriend David Chow, fought for the rights of the unborn child. However, before a decision could be handed down, the child was delivered by c-section.
Nikki married David, who turned out to have had a shady past. He was connected to the mob, and was a gambling addict as well. Nikki tried to stand by her husband as they headed up Jabot Cosmetics together, but his issues proved too much for them to overcome. In the end, David tried to kill Nikki at the Charity Gala, and wound up dead himself, along with Victor's new wife Sabrina, in a car wreck.
Nikki has been blamed for the chain of events by Victor, who took off for Mexico seeking revenge. Nikki caught up with him, and now that the authorities are looking into his activities in Mexico, she is hiding what she knows to protect her ex!
