Storylines[]
Nico is a worker at McKlunky's's fast food restaurant, who Arthur Chubb irritates after a night out. When Fatboy gets a job at McKlunky's the next day, Nico gives him his uniform, revealing himself to be the manager. Nico later arrives in The Queen Victoria public house, revealing that he is a friend of Fatboy's friend Dot Branning and the nephew of her boss, Andonis Papadopolous.
Later, while Fatboy is working a day shift, Nico tells him he has to work the late shift, meaning he will miss his DJ gig. During the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Fatboy lies to Nico to get off work, only for Nico to see Fatboy enjoying the festivities on television. Later, Nico calls the police when Lola Pearce becomes aggressive with him, after he discovers that Fatboy has given her free food. Nico is present at the birth of Lola's baby Lexi Pearce, which happens in the restaurant. Nico and Fatboy decide to use this to gain publicity for the restaurant, having Lola, Lexi and Lola's grandfather, Olympic Torch bearer Billy Mitchell, appear with them in a photo for the local newspaper.
Nico asks Fatboy for Lauren Branning's number, to which Fatboy agrees, even though Lauren calls Nico a fascist. McKlunky's enters the local cook-off, competing against other local food establishments. Nico makes Fatboy dress as a chicken, and is annoyed when they do not win. Nico sacks Fatboy when he stands up to him about being mistreated at work.
Nico was mentioned in The Kimfluencer Episode 1 - Veganism, where Kim receives a 25% discount on a vegan meal at McKlunky's
He is mentioned again on 30 January 2023 when Reiss Colwell mentions he is working with him and helping him get rid of some old books.
