Nicolette Stone aka the incredible actor Charlotte Chimes, aka the newest LGBTQ character in the main cast of Neighbours, aka the next suitor in line for Chloe's heart, aka 'Nic'
Nicolette is a Lesbian and will let you know it and remember this is a show that used lesbian kisses to garner ratings, though nowadays they are conscious and careful not to repeat those mistakes. Nicolette referring to herself as not just gay but very specifically 'lesbian' is Neighbours trying to heal the damage by normalizing the word, usage and overall concept of a lesbian on mainstream tv, so. Cheers Neighbours
A lot of resentment towards her family stemmed from a childhood spent with an extremely conservative great grandmother. When she came out to her mum, Jane, she was told to conceal her sexuality at home so as not to upset the old woman. Sick of being treated like the family's dirty secret, Nicolette soon packed her things and relocated from UK to Canberra, Australia. Below: Jane rebuilding bridges with Nicolette
Nicolette loved her work as a nurse. She had experience with end of life care and was hired by Chloe and Pierce to be the live-in carer for Chloe's late stage Huntington's mother. She often locked horns with Pierce, who was a homophobic asshole paranoid she would make a move on Chloe. It came out that she had developed Feelings(TM) for her employer and was given the boot by the now ex-husband
She was instrumental in bringing to light Pierce's extramarital affair, which she did by setting it up so that Chloe would catch them in the act. Their marriage ended, he left the show AND THE LAND REFUCKINGJOICED! Chloe found out only later and was furious that Nicolette would put her in that position.
Meanwhile, Nicolette moved in and quickly bonded with fellow area gays Aaron and David, Chloe's bro and bro in law. They all liked each other so platonically much that Nicolette volunteered to be both the surrogate AND egg donor for the guys' first child. So in a peak soap opera move, Nicolette got pregnant by inseminating herself with David's sperm in a turkey baster....and it worked
Nicolette expressed her desire to start her own family and have all the babies... a vision which includes Chloe as her future partner. (Jane's line "You want to have children with Chloe?" is something I never thought would be spoken to a young lesbian on Neighbours but then far be it from me to complain about queering mainstream tv in this country) It has yet to be revealed how or if their relationship will be a spanner in the works of her surrogacy agreement with the boys.
Miscellaneous backstory: Watch your step.... it's soapy
2 years ago offscreen, went back to visit her great gran. Finally Nicolette had the chance to say proudly to her face that she was gay Lesbian, but the shock of the revelation killed her. (!!!!!!)
Had a girlfriend at the time she came out, and loved her, but had to leave her behind in England so she could escape her family 💔
Split $100K with another nurse with winnings from a deceased patient's unclaimed lottery ticket
Was barred from nursing for the rest of her life because the other nurse had a Conscience(TM) and came forward
Now works at the local cafe, under the woman who Chloe's ex husband cheated with
No trace of a British accent despite growing up in the UK although most internationals can't tell the difference between Australian and English accents anyway so does it matter, really? lol
