Justin's stepbrother Ali Taylor (Luti Fagbenle) had told her in 2005 (when Justin was 15) that Becca and Justin were involved. This was hearsay, but still played crucial to the prosecution's case. Becca was ultimately found guilty and sentenced to prison, where she was later killed by another prisoner. Nicole returned in 2007 for the wedding of Mercedes McQueen and Russ, where she begged her brother to reconsider his choice of bride. 2019 Nicole later returns in 2019 after receiving a call from her nephew, Max, saying that Mercedes doesn't love him and he wants to stay with her in Greece. Mercedes had married Sylver McQueen (David Tag) following Russ' death. After having a catch-up with Nancy, Nicole goes to The Dog to retrieve Max from Mercedes. She refuses, but snaps at Breda McQueen (Moya Brady), saying that she loves her son Bobby Costello (Jayden Fox) more than Max, which he overhears. Breda tells him to leave with Nicole, believing it's the best thing for him, which he does, saying he wishes Russ had never met Mercedes. In July 2019, Nicole brings Max back to the village where Mercedes, Sylver, Breda and Nana McQueen (Diane Langton) organised a party for him. Mercedes ruined the party after taking cocaine which Liam Donovan (Jude Monk McGown) supplied to her. Max and Nicole left and boarded the next flight back to Greece.
