eighteen months later and made her return in September 2007. She also
took maternity leave throughout 2015, and Nicola departed temporarily
on 26 March 2015 to go to Dubai to work there for six months. She made
a brief appearance on 7 May 2015 via webcam, and then made her
full-time return on 11 November 2015, when she was kicked out of Dubai
for an incident that happened to her there.Nicola came to the village
to meet her older half-sister, Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles) and
stayed with their father Rodney Blackstock (Patrick Mower). She met
and became friends with Emily Kirk (Kate McGregor). Within months,
Nicola became interested in chef Carlos Diaz (Gary Turner), unaware
that he was having an affair with Bernice. She chased him for a while
before they ended up in bed after Bernice dumped him, wanting to make
her marriage work. Scared she might lose Carlos, Nicola announced she
was pregnant and was stunned yet elated when he proposed, which she
accepted.On her hen night, Bernice caught her drinking vodka and
Nicola admitted that she had lied about being pregnant. Bernice, who
was herself pregnant, was horrified and insisted she tell Carlos
before the ceremony. Furious that she would lie to him like that,
Carlos told Nicola about his affair with Bernice and that the baby she
was carrying could be his. Disgusted, Nicola attacked Bernice with her
bouquet before storming into the church to announce that the wedding
was off, due to Carlos's infidelity. She also told Bernice's husband
Ashley Thomas (John Middleton) about her affair and the fact that he
might not be the father of Bernice's baby. Despite her mother's
suggestion that she go home with her, Nicola stayed with Rodney and
eventually forgave Bernice. She became godmother to Ashley and
Bernice's daughter, Gabby Thomas (Annelise Manojlovic).
