Dossier

Nicholas "Nick" Oates

Alice's first love, met across two decades

Played by
Kerry James

Nick Oates is Alice's first love, a kind, music-obsessed boy she meets at The Cove during her trips back to 1999. He gives her a fish hook bracelet because she has, in his words, hooked him. Years and timelines later, Nick is still part of the Port Haven story, complicating what either of them thought a first love could be.
