The actor admitted that he thinks Nick sees it more as "borrowing" the £80,000 from Audrey, and that he thinks the businessman "genuinely believes he is going to give it back.""This is a secret that Nick needs David to keep, and David is going to use that to his full advantage. This is going to be a ticking time bomb for the brothers and the family."
He continued:
"He has got himself into a bit of deep water with his ex-wife, the new relationship with Leanne, the factory, and he always needs a business, so the money is what will sort all of this out. It was a business opportunity for him.Nick's secret accomplice, Natalie, is set to turn up on the cobbles next week and try to blackmail him - although, according to Ben, her arrival won't cause too many problems...yet. He added:"He always planned to put the blame on Lewis and somehow get it back to Audrey. He also imagined that it wasn’t hers originally, so it is not really hers to lose. She hadn’t expected to get it so it wasn’t her savings, her hard-earned cash. He actually thinks she never had it.
"Nick has a bit more of an edge to him than he did before, as he has been messed around a lot. Carla messed him around, Leanne did, his ex-wife is now trying to ruin him. He is trying to take control."
"He is fairly relaxed about [Natalie]. "She is an irritant, but the fact that she is only asking for £2,000 and yet he got her to withdraw £80,000 means that he knows she is not a real threat. "But the fact that he got someone else involved is obviously a weak link in his plan."The actor also spoke about how Nick's deception "will divide loyalties and will really test the family" if - and hopefully when - the truth comes out. He said:
"This is something different to what they have dealt with before. "Usually their problems come from someone on the outside causing them issues and threatening the family and they all pull together, but this time the issue is within."
