Growing up, he spent a lot of time with the five Darling children - including a romance with Karen Darling when they were teenagers. When Nick was nineteen, he proposed to Karen during a trip to Italy. They did not get married, however, it is unknown what happened to their relationship.
[edit] Season One
The season begins with the Nick learning of his father 'Dutch' George's death, and he immediately suspects foul play, and at various points in the series suspects both Tripp Darling and Simon Elder of being involved in Dutch's plane crash. He also has to engage Patrick Darling so that the police will let him into his own father's funeral.
Tripp Darling offers Nick his father's old job - senior legal counsel to the Darling family. Nick is initially recalcitrant, because he suspects Tripp was involved in his father's death. but eventually accepts the job because Tripp offers him ten million dollars a year to start a charitable fund in his father's name.
Nick's ex-girlfriend Karen Darling makes no secret of the fact that she still has feelings for Nick - after her marriage to Freddy Mason is annulled, she tells her mother that she wants to marry Nick. Nick is already married to Lisa, with a daughter, Kiki, who's ten - Lisa and Karen butt heads several times over their supposed fight for Nick.
Nick also finds out about his father's forty-year affair with Darling matriarch Letitia, and later, the fact that Brian Darling was the result of this affair, and therefore, Nick's half-brother.
