Reception
Michael French was nominated for the 'Most Popular Actor' award in the 2006 National Television Awards for his portrayal of the character. Both The Guardian and the Sunday Mirror have likened Nick to George Clooney's ER character Doug Ross - "the one everyone fancies" - with the Sunday Mirror deeming him "Handsome, talented, hot-headed and passionate. Dark, brooding, sexy. If your heart needs attention Nick Jordan's the man. 8/10." Andrew Billen for the New Statesman agrees that Nick is "good-looking", but suggests French's playing another "love rat" character after his EastEnders role to be type casting.
