Nancy was really annoying tonight in EE

Throughout tonight's EE episode Nancy was moaning about working in the pub and being taken for granted. Can't say I had any sympathy for her
Her complaint to Mick was that Lee and Johnny hardly ever worked. Well given that Lee was back from working in the army in active service on leave it would be a bit harsh to expect him to work and Johnny is at university and also working at Sharon's bar. Nancy does sod all as far I can see so doing a few shifts at the pub for her parents who give her a roof and feed her is not much to ask for.
If Nancy actually decided to do something with her life (ie find a job) I am sure Mick would not ask her to work in the pub! I thought Mick was too easy on her and should I have told her some home truths and got her to do something with her life rather than waste it away

I wish they'd give her a storyline outside of the pub, though. Hopefully her feelings of resentment are leading up to a storyline for her.
How
If you ask me Nancy needs to pull her socks up :cool:
The soldier is in Afghanistan and the little sausage has a job and is in university. Nancy is a paid (:o) employee of the pub so at least could do something for those wages.
Johnny seems to work in the Vic just as much as Nancy, plus has another job at the Albert (even if we never get any scenes in there), plus is doing a law degree. Honestly I love Nancy but Johnny does a LOT more than she does.
She's always working and since it was a bank holiday she obviously had that day off and planned something with her friends, so I can understand why she was angry. Linda, Shirley and Tina could have worked.
Yes Johnny has other things to do, but all I ever see is Nancy working behind the bar, Johnny gets to hang out with his mates but when Nancy wants to she has to work.
People in the leisure industry have to work on a Bank Holiday though. She needs to get a job out of the family business IMO as I don't think she's ever going to be happy there.
But we've had just as many scenes of Johnny working behind the bar as Nancy, in fact the other day I was wondering why he appears to still be one one of the main bar staff there when he's meant to be working at The Albert. The majority of his scenes with his friends have taken place during or just after he's finished work, and there have been plenty of scenes where Nancy has appeared where she hasn't been working.
Saying Johnny "hardly does anything" just isn't true. Lee appeared to be a bit of a lazy git but tbf he was on leave. I honestly think Shirley and Tina are the ones that need to pull their weight a bit more. Tina especially, always 'goin' dahn Soho" instead of helping out at the place she probably stays rent free. >:(
I agree with this. Nancy has got a father who dotes on her and would probably help her financially to do anything she wants. Though I think maybe Nancy's confidence might not be as great as she makes out, due to her epilepsy. I really hope today's episode was the start of some decent character development for her.
Very much agree. I don't really know why people like her so much currently as she just seems spoilt tbh. She needs to get herself a career away from the pub IMO.
On one hand, I do get Nancy's frustration but on the other hand, her brothers are very busy doing other things. Nancy doesn't have much going for her.
Don't get me wrong, I do like Nancy but I think at the moment I like her more for her potential than anything she's currently doing. I think she's got all the makings of a really strong young female character, I'd just like to know a lot more about what makes her tick and why she has this apathy to her personality.
i think they could do a lot more with the character Nancy bit she is not the worst carter
Too right. We had Shirley lolling around with a pint of beer, propping up the bar.
As for Nancy? She's a troublemaker. She kicks off at the slightest thing - usually involving Johnny.
if she is just helping out, then yes, she does have a right to moan BUT if she is actually getting paid for her work and has set working hours (do we know either way??) then no, she doesnt have any right to moan
Because she doesn't want to, and she lives in a society where she can wear whatever she likes.
