The official synopsis for the upcoming storylines has suggested that Nigel's exit plot will see him battling with kidney failure. It reads: 'Time is running out for Max as he faces kidney failure. But when offered a lifeline by Jodie (Anna Chell) he must decide whether he’s ready to accept her help in order to survive.'
Nigel previously told Digital Spy: "I finished my last scene on Monday, [then I] was here on Friday. I’m on screen until the end of February, and [I have] no plans to return at the moment."
