Call the Midwife viewers have shared their concern after a beloved character appeared to mysteriously “disappear” from the BBC drama.
Worried fans have been questioning the absence of Nancy Corrigan, played by Megan Cusack, as she did not appear in Sunday’s (12 January) episode. Viewers have expressed concern that the character may have left her role at Nonnatus House after becoming engaged in the previous episode.
Call the Midwife chronicles the lives of a group of midwives in the East End of London in the 1950s. The 14th and latest series of the hit BBC drama aired on 5 January, having first debuted in 2012.
First appearing as Nancy in series 10, Megan’s character has since become a firm favourite among fans.
But with her absence duly noted, many viewers took to Twitter/X to express their worry.
One user said: “Did Nancy go, and was there no grand finale because where is she? If she’s gone just like that, I will be steamed she’s a fan favourite and deserves better.”
Another wrote: “Also hold on where tf is Nancy.”
An additional viewer fuelled speculation Cusack had left the show, writing: “She left at the end of the last episode. Got married, I think.”
In the first episode of the new series, Nancy finds love and becomes engaged to Roger (Conor O’Donnell). The storyline is a change in pace for Megan’s character, who is often known to prioritise her daughter and her work.
By the end of the episode, Roger joined Nancy and the other members of Nonnatus House around the dinner table on Christmas Day.
In an interview with The Sun, Cusack recently spoke out about her future on Call the Midwife.
She appeare to deny claims her character was departing the show, stating: “Just because she’s fallen in love, she’s not leaving us just yet.”
“She’s got lots going on,” cusack added. “You know, a job offer, an engagement, an overbearing mother-in-law to be.”
Cusack expressed excitement at her character’s new storyline, telling the outlet: “It was lovely. I never thought that Nancy would have a romance.”
