Many fans believe Nick had serious potential and were looking forward to seeing him mature, not only as a person, but as a love interest for Melissa (Jessica Parker Kennedy.)
Chloe 24 writes: “Characters like Nick (think Damon from Vampire Diaries) are always huge fan favorites, because they can be developed over time and grow into better people.”
Tristin adds: “I wanted to see nick and mellissa become a actally couple :(”
But the most intense outrage of all seemed to come from fans of L.J. Smith‘s original Secret Circle book series:
A. Knight wrote: “Fans of the original books, like myself, should be royally ticked. I mean, I loved Book Nick, and I was really starting to get into TV Nick + Melissa. … If they keep killing off members of the circle then I don’t think I can keep watching. :(”
Despite their collective sadness over Nick’s sudden departure, however, some fans remain hopeful we will see him again someday:
Verybookish ponders: “Maybe they’ll bring him back as a shirtless ghost.”
Considering this is a show about witches, and it’s on The CW, I’d say that’s a very good possibility.
