CALL the Midwife’s Megan Cusack has revealed her future on the show after Nancy Corrigan finally finds love.
Megan first joined the hit BBC show in series 10 as single mum Nancy, and has won a legion of fans since.
Nancy’s priorities have always been her daughter and her work, but in the Christmas Special, she was seen finally putting herself first after meeting charming Irishman, Roger.
Nancy was initially hesitant to go on a date with him but she changed her mind, the spark between them evident to viewers.
By the end of the episode, Roger had joined Nancy and the other members of Nonnatus House round the dinner table on Christmas Day.
While fans will be delighted to see Nancy happy and in love, they will no doubt worry that her new relationship could see her move onto pastures new away from Poplar.
Indeed, the new series sees Nancy juggling her engagement, an overbearing mother-in-law-to-be and a new job offer.
But speaking to The Sun Online and other press ahead of series 14, Megan said: “No, just because she’s fallen in love, she’s not leaving us just yet.
“There’s lots of things happening, she’s got lots going on, you know, a job offer, an engagement, an overbearing mother-in-law to be.
“So she’s got a lot going on.”
Elaborating on her character’s new storyline, she said: “It was lovely. I never thought that Nancy would have a romance.
“I just didn’t think it would ever come about. So that was lovely. And also to have Connor as Roger… Isn’t he lovely? Isn’t he just gorgeous?
“He’s so lovely, he’s great craic. Tell you what though, he’s tall, isn’t he?”
She continued: “I had to be put on boxes a lot when we were shooting because he’s a big lad, isn’t he? Yeah, he’s proper tall.
“It’s kind of just a new element of that character to explore that I didn’t think was going to happen.
“And I think I was saying it’s been lovely in the sense that it feels like the community of Poplar has allowed her to let her guard down and experience that kind of, that sort of someone loving her.
“So yeah, it was exciting, daunting.”
Call the Midwife returns in January on BBC One.
