Nick st Claire

Nicholas "Nick" St. Clair is a recurring character on Riverdale. He is portrayed by Graham Phillips. Nick is a devious, trouble-making bad boy from Veronica's past, who came to Riverdale looking to win her over. It wasn't long after his arrival that Nick met all Veronica's friends and her boyfriend, Archie Andrews. During his visit, he hosted a party at the Five Seasons hotel and attempted to force himself onto Veronica. When Veronica turned down his advances, Nick turned his attention towards Cheryl Blossom at the SoDale Gala Opening, where he drugged and attempted to rape her. Fortunately, the Pussycats intervened. Once news of his attack on Cheryl began to spread, Nick fled Riverdale with his mother and father but not before paying off Penelope Blossom to drop the charges. Though it had seemed as if Nick was in the clear, upon learning of his sexual advances towards Veronica, the Lodges not only ended their business deal with the St. Clair's, but they had also hired someone to run them off the road, which resulted in Nick being severely injured, an injury that will take him several months to recover from.Nick was old friends back in New York City with Veronica. They used to party, go clubbing, and possibly do drugs together. It appears that they were close friends before Veronica left New York. At some point, after Veronica moved to Riverdale, Nick was admitted to rehab, dealing with some issues.
