When Gretchen Franklin was unable to reprise her role of Else Garnett in ''Till Death Us Do Part'' after appearing in the pilot, Nichols was cast in her place. As the series continued, Nichols showed off her excellent chemistry against leading man and her on-screen husband Creator/WarrenMitchell, leading to Else being given a bigger role in the series. In the later series, Nichols' health made it harder for her to star in the series and so Else was PutOnABus, or rather, a plane to Australia.

Nichols later returned for ''Till Death...'' which aired in 1981, and ''In Sickness and in Health'' in 1985. By this point, she had developed rheumatoid arthritis and was now wheelchair bound. After one series of ''Sickness'', Nichols died of pneumonia and heart disease at the age of 78. [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim Her death was written into the show]], which was {{Retool}}ed into focusing on Alf's life as a widower.
