 Nicole returned in December 2006 for Becca Dean's (Ali Bastian) trial where she gave evidence against Becca-much to the annoyance of her supposed friend Nancy.She claimed 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.
