EE: Mick's treatment of Nancy
I could not believe Mick's behaviour towards Nancy at the end of tonight's episode. By giving her that cash he could not have made it clearer that he can't stand the sight of her. I also thought it was terrible that he was so unconcerned when he was told Nancy had a full on seizure. Mick should know full well that stress is bound to contribute to Nanny's epilepsy and the fact that he seemed so uncaring shocked me. He doesn't even know for sure that Ollie has suffered brain damage or what the extent is.
Another thing - I fully accept Nancy caused the accident but surely after such a fall the Carters would have taken Ollie to hospital? He's just a baby and a head injury should be taken seriously. Kellie Bright in an interview said that Linda didn't take Ollie to hospital purely because she isn't a first time mother and Ollie is her forth child. Even so, he should still have been taken. Mick was clearly worried about Ollie and wanted to take him to hospital, he even said this to Linda when Ollie was taken to hospital. Could his guilt at not overruling Linda be contributing to his treatment of Nancy? Either way, I really do think he should forgive her. Even non family members can see how torn up and stressed she is and it can't be good for her condition. I'm starting to wonder now if Mick and Nancy will actually make up, I think they may well leave on a hostile note |

Plot driven to explain her exit. It had to be a serious rift for her to go and not come back quickly. She won't be killed off.

I don't know why Linda hasn't taken Ollie to go stay at her mums. She should say Nancy stays or we are gone.

Mick is so horrible. If he and Nancy make up, before she leaves, I won't be happy. He has seriously damaged their relationship. |

Mick and Linda are partly to blame also .They were responsible for Ollie and should have taken him to a doctor or A and E after a head injury like that . Mick is being very immature and Linda needs to stand up to him and stop his self indulgence .Its always about Mick and how it effects him .He needs to get over himself now

The Carters do my head in tbh. Mick and Nancy are both as bad as one another!

Oh no I hope Nancy doesn't die
there was a period where I found her very annoying but she's always been my favourite Carter really. I felt so sorry for her tonight when she told Mick she was going to stay and help Linda, then her realisation that Mick hadn't really forgiven her at all

I read that Nancy & Tamwar have already filmed 'their' exit so I don't imagine Nancy is going to be killed off.
It's uncomfortable viewing seeing Mick behave so coldy towards Nancy when they've always been so close. The fact that Nancy had a personality transplant & suddenly hated her brother was more uncomfortable! I hope the situation is resolved with the two of them as if I was in Linda's shoes, I'd find it extremely hard to cope with a husband who was so stubbornly not willing to look at the logic of the situation. |

So basically he's told her she's not welcome in the family home any more.
Horrible man, I've lost all respect for the character

Horrible man, I've lost all respect for the character ![]() If his only daughter having a full on seizure won't bring him to his senses then I don't know what will. I fear their relationship will be forever tainted by this. Mick is essentially blackmailing his daughter with money to fund her trip to Italy in order to get her to leave :/ I know the possibility that his baby son might have long term brain damage is heartbreaking for Mick, but Linda isn't ignoring Nancy like he is. Linda was horrified when she heard about Nanny's fit and wanted to drop everything to go round and see her. Blaming Nancy isn't going to solve anything and demanding she leave is only going to place more unneeded and dangerous stress on her |

I doubt she's getting killed off, but perhaps it's paving the way for a sad ending where she parts on bad terms with her dad. Nancy might get back with Tamwar and convince him to start afresh with her off the Square.

Mick has become irredeemable in my eyes. Sooner Mick is killed off along with that vile mother in law of his the better. His treatment of Nancy has been disgusting. His behaviour is making her extremely ill. Nasty piece of work. Nancy didn't mean for Ollie to grt hurt and has fully acceptabled responsability and feels bad enough as it is.

If Ollie had been taken to A & E the chhances of any longterm damage would have been pretty small. The decision by his parents not to take him make them far more responsible if that has happened than Nancy's tantrum which led to the actual accident. In real life they'd be racked with guilt. Even if Mick was denying it to himself and shifting the blame to Nancy, Linda wouldn't be buying that.
Mick comes across as not seeing himself at all responsible for the consequences of his inaction. I'm reminded of the way Mick's brother Dean actually believed his own lies about not having raped Linda. |

Unfortunately I have too. He knows how vulnerable Nancy is (he explicitly said to Linda before the accident how worried he was about Nancy going to Italy). It's really sad to watch because the two of them were incredibly close before this happened. Mick can see how devastated Nancy is and Linda has told him a number of times that it was an accident.
If his only daughter having a full on seizure won't bring him to his senses then I don't know what will. I fear their relationship will be forever tainted by this. Mick is essentially blackmailing his daughter with money to fund her trip to Italy in order to get her to leave :/ I know the possibility that his baby son might have long term brain damage is heartbreaking for Mick, but Linda isn't ignoring Nancy like he is. Linda was horrified when she heard about Nanny's fit and wanted to drop everything to go round and see her. Blaming Nancy isn't going to solve anything and demanding she leave is only going to place more unneeded and dangerous stress on her I too understand that he can't help feeling blame towards Nancy if that's how he feels, but some things are better left unsaid, or expressed to his parents if he needs to talk, but surely he doesn't have to tell Nancy that? He is essentially chucking her out, it's so harsh. She's going to feel like he doesn't even love her any more, and to be fair he's acting like he doesn't, he's not concerned for her health or well being in the slightest at the moment. |

Linda is just as much to blame. She didn't want to go to the hospital at the time.
Anyway I've went right off Mick. He's not as nice as he's made out to be. |

He was out of line tonight, and when Linda hears what he's done, I think it will all blow up in his face. Yes, it was 100% Nancy's fault, but you can't punish her for it forever. The damage is done, he's not making it any better.
I get why he's taken it worse - Nancy was his favourite, and she's fallen off the pedestal he had her on, but he's taking it too far. I think it's realistic, it's just not nice to watch. I have loved Linda during this storyline though - even before the accident when Nancy started acting up, she was trying to work out how to make her happier and has 100% been on her side throughout this whole thing. That has been lovely. |

I just don't get why he's acting like such a d*ck to her. Nancy had a seizure and he couldn't give a toss, now he's essentially telling her to get lost in not so many words. When Ollie fell, he should have bypassed Linda's 'mum knows best' logic and taken Ollie to A&E without question.
Really, he should be giving Linda the cold shoulder treatment not Nancy, but most of the time he treads on eggshells around her and doesn't want to upset her. It's really sad to see him turn against her like this. I'm not sure how Linda will feel if and when she finds out that Mick has pressured their daughter to leave Walford. |

Agreed, and maybe he is projecting his own guilt onto Nancy? He feels he should have taken Ollie to the hospital, but because he didn't and feels guilty for it, it's easier for him to stick all the blame to Nancy.
It's really sad to see him turn against her like this. I'm not sure how Linda will feel if and when she finds out that Mick has pressured their daughter to leave Walford. I'm sure Linda won't be best pleased when she finds out. She seems to have been able to handle this better than Mick has. |
