Common card · No. 283392

Nick Nelson is a fictional character created by Alice Oseman. He first appeared as a supporting character in Oseman's novel Solitaire (2014) before becoming one of the two protagonists of the Heartstopper graphic novel series and its Netflix television adaptation, in which he is portrayed by Kit Connor. In Heartstopper, Nick is a student at Truham Grammar School for Boys whose friendship with Charlie Spring develops into a romantic relationship as he comes to terms with his bisexuality. Oseman said she wanted to explore Nick and Charlie's backstory after introducing them in Solitaire, later developing their story as the serialized webcomic Heartstopper. The character has received positive critical attention as a depiction of bisexuality and queer adolescence. Connor's performance as Nick has also been recognised with several awards, including a Children's & Family Emmy Award and a Royal Television Society Programme Award.
