Biography[]

Nick was one of the brothers of Tom Morgan, a criminal who Angela Harris gave evidence against after seeing him stab a man to death in a pub in Sheffield. Nick and his other brother Andy made a number of threats and intimidations against Angela and her family in an attempt to stop her testifying. When Tom was convincted thanks to her evidence, his brothers burned down the Harrises' house, resulting in them being taken into witness protection.

Some months later, Andy brought Nick to Coronation Street, where the family were living under the name Nelson, having followed Angela's daughter Katy there. Nick had a gun with him. When they saw Katy coming out of No 13, the brothers knocked on the door but Andy stopped Nick rushing in when 12-year-old Rosie Webster answered the door. Andy again cut in when Nick started to say they were looking for the Harrises, instead just telling Rosie's mother Sally they were looking for their old friends Tommy and Angela. Sally directed them to the house across the road.

Knocking on the correct door of No 6, Andy and Nick charged in and found Katy there on her own. They took her prisoner, intending to stay and wait for Angela. Nick mocked her over the fact they had found them because her friends had been overheard talking about meeting her. Andy revealed they had twenty friends primed to give them an alibi. Nick reminded him Sally had seen them but Andy dismissed the idea of her identifying them. Sally and her husband Kevin then knocked on the door. Nick stood ready with the gun but the Websters left.

Katy, a diabetic, asked the brothers to let her take her insulin but they refused, saying if she died of natural causes no-one could pin it on them. Nick wanted to take Katy and leave but Andy insisted on waiting until dark to see if Angela turned up, at which point they would either take Katy with them or leave her to die. The police arrived outside, having been summoned by Kevin, along with the Nelsons. Andy made a plan to get past them with an increasingly ill Katy, but she started shouting for help, prompting Tommy to rush in. Nick shot Tommy in the arm, injuring him, and held the gun on the police officer who followed him in. Heading out the back door, Nick held the gun on a second policeman but failed to notice a third one crouched down next to him, who jumped and overpowered him as Andy fled over the neighbouring gardens.

Nick was dragged out of the house to a waiting police van in front of a furious Angela, who threatened to kill him if anything happened to Tommy or Katy. Nick laughed off her outrage and told her Andy was long gone. However, the police picked Andy up mere hours later. The two brothers were charged with kidnapping and attempted murder, and jailed.
