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 |

It was made clear that Nancy wanted to join the army but her having epilepsy meant she couldn't join and hence why there is more of a sibling rivilary between Nancy and Lee. Nancy isn't studious like Johnny so University is out the question, I guess Nancy isn't sure what career path to take and that is why she works more at the Vic. Nancy is by far the best young female character we have had in the show for ages.

Apart from her saying that Johnny doesn't pull his weight (come on, Nancy, he juggles two jobs plus a university degree!) I don't think she said anything especially untrue.
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. |

She was saved from marrying a no mark by her Dad ( ) carrying her out of the service, she has no qualifications and her job is helping out in the family's pub. She seems completely directionless but luckily for her has a family that will keep her well into her adulthood. What about Lola who looks after a child and has a job she got / trained for herself or Whitney who is training to work with children or Abi who is studying or even Lauren who helped start a business with Lucy after over coming alcoholism.If you ask me Nancy needs to pull her socks up

She has every right to moan, she's always helping out in the pub and the one day she wanted to hang out with her mates she can't. The 'little sausage' and 'my soldier' hardly do anything.

The soldier is in Afghanistan and the little sausage has a job and is in university. Nancy is a paid (

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.

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.

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.

Her brothers get a break from what they do, so she should get some time away from behind that bar.

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.

It can't just be people from Albert Square.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. |

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.

Nancy has annoyed me full stop. Ever since she outed johnny. They have been in it long enough now for me to say that Nancy is the weakest link in The Carters. But her scenes with Danny dyer are a delight though.

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. |

As trevor tiger said: 'Nancy needs to pull her socks up' - why does she wear those socks? Why doesn't she dress more feminine?

Nancy is like the "Abi get the door" of the Carter household.
