Call The Midwife teases return of fan-favourite Nancy in season 14 finale

Nancy hasn't been on screen in weeks

| Updated:

Call The Midwife season 14 comes to an end next week (March 2), and fans have finally got an answer to a long-running question.

Fan-favourite character Nancy hasn’t been on screen for a few weeks, leaving fans wondering if she had left the show completely. But fear not, as the teaser for next week’s season 14 finale finally showed Nancy’s comeback.

The character got engaged and temporarily left Poplar to take a role at Netherditch Hospital as she believed it would be best for her and her daughter. But fans were left distraught at the exit. And while The BBC previously confirmed Megan Cusack had not left her role as Nancy permanently, it didn’t ease any minds.

Nancy to return for Call The Midwife season 14 finale

Last night’s episode of Call The Midwife (February 23) aired a surprise comeback from Colette, Nancy’s daughter. The character appeared in a dress fitting scene, alongside the bridesmaids for Nancy’s big day.

Fans were then treated to the confirmation that the wedding will happen on-screen. Violet shared some details about the upcoming wedding, revealing Nancy had changed her mind about the wedding dress. And fans were delighted to see Colette back on their screens, but still wondered where Nancy was.

But at the end of the episode when next week’s teaser aired, viewers finally caught a glimpse of the fan-favourite character. And any fears that she would not return finally vanished.

In the short clip, Nancy and Colette were reuniting with their old friends in Poplar. And while the reason for their return is unknown, it’s most likely linked to Nancy’s wedding.

This small glimpse really made viewers happy, especially after an “exhausting” penultimate episode which followed a series of heartbreaking episodes.

Another added: “Nancy is returning and looks stunning as usual. I can’t wait.”

“All these mentions of Nancy has me so excited for her return!” a third penned.

At least we know Nancy is alive. I was starting to worry.

A fourth penned: “What an episode. So much happened and so much to come. I’m exhausted from all that sobbing.”

A viewer added: “Finally! We really needed a Nancy return.”

Nancy’s highly-anticipated scenes air in Call The Midwife season 14 finale on Sunday March 2 at 8pm.
