Fans will at least find the storyline of Nancy getting married and moving to live in Surrey with her new husband more believable than the one currently in play for Helen George’s character Trixie Aylward, who has also been absent from several episodes this series.
She lets her guard down and thinks maybe she’s worth it, maybe she deserves that kind of happy ending.” Her departure, with a wedding set in November 1970, was also heralded by the show’s writer and creator Heidi Thomas, who said: “Nancy’s life takes a new and dramatic turn.”.
Megan Cusack has quit Call the Midwife after four years, confirming what the fans have long suspected after her character, Nancy Corrigan, was absent for most of the current series.
Now the nurse and midwife will return to Poplar for one last time for the BBC1 series finale on Sunday, in which Nancy ties the knot with Roger, played by Connor O'Donnell.
Viewers saw single mother Nancy fall for pharmaceutical rep Roger in the Christmas special and then agree to marry him in the opening episode of series 14 last month.
