Nick Payne arrives in town after a shipwreck. Soon, he is romancing the Valley girl-turned-superstar chemist, fashion industry powerhouse and scandal-prone inamorata, Brooke Logan. This eventually puts him at odds with her love, Ridge Forrester. Their rivalry is exacerbated when his mother, Jacqueline Payne, reveals to Nick that he is the son of his employer - the shipping magnate, Massimo Marone - which makes him Ridge's half-brother. Brooke chooses to marry Ridge. They go on their honeymoon in South America, where Ridge is kidnapped by a group of thugs working for Sheila Carter, a criminal who killed Taylor Forrester (later revealed to be alive).

While saving Ridge, Brooke and Nick end up also being held captive by Sheila, demanding Gold from them as ransom from Massimo Marone. Ridge falls into a furnace and is presumed dead. While grieving, Brooke and Nick have sex. It is later revealed Ridge is alive. Brooke also falls pregnant and Nick is the father (the truth is later revealed that Ridge is the father). Brooke nearly marries Nick but the wedding is stopped by Ridge. Nick later had a brief relationship with Ridge's sister Felicia Forrester. She returned to L.A with a son called Dominick.
