I wouldn't call Nikki's character pointless in the least. I loved Nikki and her journey. I liked how it fleshed out Curtis and his issues with women and privacy. Something that would play out in the 3rd season with his power, and at the end of his character arc in season 4. And her death, reaffirmed that the gang is full of idiots, and it was best that F!
Simon didn't tell them how to change up their powers earlier, along with showcasing that the future he setup was far from perfect. The only problem I have with Nikki's death is how quickly the gang moved past it. She was never mentioned again in season 3 or 4. Beyond a reference that powers can be switched with surgery.
I really wished they'd at least shown a picture of her in season 3. That was a wasted opportunity. I had the same problem with Rudy's nun not being mentioned in the transition from season 4 to 5.
Clever things make people feel stupid and unexpected things make them feel scared. This Alex Reid played probation officer Sally in the first three series, but you may know her best for playing Beth in British horror The Descent back in Since , she's been relatively quiet on the TV and film front, appearing in an episode of Vera and in two episodes of The Tunnel.
Arriving in series four as one of the new class, Nathan landed the part after impressing in an audition for a much smaller role. Since playing the telekinetic teen, Nathan has only been in a couple of TV projects, but one of them was the Doctor Who Christmas special.
Since then, Lauren has only appeared in a couple of projects, including an episode of Plebs , two episodes of Catastrophe and the upcoming comedy horror Shed of the Dead alongside Brian Blessed.
She was convicted of a racially aggravated assault against a taxi driver in , and was sentenced to four months in jail, suspended for a year. Which explains the career lull. If you didn't already know, her older brother is This is England 's Michael Socha. Danny played the group's first probation officer — killed off in episode one, though he reappeared in later episodes — and has since continued to appear regularly on TV.
His most notable role has been recurring as Sembene in Penny Dreadful. Antonia starred in the first three series as Alisha, the girl who put everyone into a rapacious sexual frenzy if they touched her.
She's featured in a variety of projects since then, including the movie Sunshine on Leith , the video for Coldplay's 'Charlie Brown', and the comedy series Scrotal Recall. Best of all, she currently narrates the updated version of Teletubbies. Shaun was already a familiar face on TV before playing the gang's fifth and final probation officer. Since then, he's popped up in various shows, including the second series of Broadchurch , Tom Hughes drama The Game , crime drama Cuffs and an episode of This Is England Matt joined as one of the Misfits gang in series four, and initially didn't even have a power, poor guy though he had had his penis stolen by someone who did.
Nathan found his breakout role as time-manipulator Curtis, appearing in the first four series of the show.
Her death was important because it made everyone realize how they had come to rely on their powers and that they need them back, with the only exception being Alisha. After this Curtis went back to Seth with the rest of the gang to re-buy their powers but Curtis's time travel power had already been sold to an old man who wanted to go back in time and kill Hitler.
Curtis buys a new power and Nikki remains dead. In the series finale after Jess got a call saying that Alex will get a lung transplant Rudy recalls a story that Curtis told him about his ex-girlfriend Nikki. Rudy said that she got a heart transplant, got a power Teleportation and got killed by a guy who controlled cheese even though she was later killed by a mugger after Curtis prevented her and the others from being killed by Brian by travelling back in time.
This might have been a joke that Rudy wasn't paying attention to what Curtis was saying or the show's creators got mixed up. It is speculated that Nikki's teleporting ability is triggered by thinking about someone and then being taken to them. When she is contemplating about the original owner of her heart she teleports to Ollie, and when she assumes that she has been stood up by Curtis she teleports to him.
This is in direct contrast to how the power worked when it belonged to Ollie, as when he attempted to show it off to the Misfits, it seemed to require some mental effort just to get him a few feet from where he was originally standing. He also left a sandal behind, though this may just have been due to lack of skill on his part.
