Nicki was back on Prisoner in 1986 as Lisa Mullins but unfortunately her time was cut short on Prisoner due to illness which Nicki discusses in great detail on how she got sick and why the show could not wait for her to get better and how she would have loved to have stayed on the show much longer than she did.
