Ann "Nancy" Corrigan is a nurse and midwife at Nonnatus House. She is played by Megan Cusack.
Ann Corrigan is introduced in S10E04. She is delivered to Nonnatus House by two Catholic nuns. At the dinner table, she reveals everyone calls her "Nancy" after Nancy Sinatra, explaining she wears a lot of boots (in reference to Nancy Sinatra's hit song, These Boots Are Made For Walking).
In S10E06, Nancy reveals a shocking secret. She's an unmarried mother who gave birth aged 16. Her child, Colette, lives in a Catholic orphanage, run by the same nuns that brought Nancy to Nonnatus House. Nancy reveals she's allowed to visit her once a month and that Collette thinks Nancy is her sister. However, during her next visit, Nancy is shocked when Colette takes off her cardigan and reveals bruises on her arms, hinting the nuns are abusing her, so she takes her away from the orphanage. She resides in a room with Colette. However, this would be of short period of time. On the first night, the landlord knocked on the door. Presumably he was interested to know when she would pay for the room. Nancy reveals that she has taken leave off work, and does not have much money to spare. Therefore, she doesn’t know when she’s able to pay for the room. The landlord hints at her that she is able to pay in other ways. Nancy tries to close the door in a hurry, however, the landlord slams the door in her face, causing a cut on her cheekbone. She was still able to close the door, and only opened the door for Colette. She soon left the place and returned to Nonnatus House. The Sisters and Nurse Crane scolded her for her previous actions, but are interrupted by Sister Monica Joan who indirectly hints that it’s what Nancy wants that matters. Nancy shares what her desires are, which is to qualify as a midwife, make a home for Colette and tell her that she is her mother, be a woman with no secrets, to be trusted, to belong, and to live a life with Colette with no bruises.
After talking with Sister Julienne, Sister Hilda tells Nancy that she is able to stay in Nonnatus House, where she can resume her training to become a midwife. Nonnatus House will vouch for Nancy and provide honest references. Meanwhile Collette is to stay with a local foster family. Sister Hilda also advices Nancy to let Collette settle in for a while, before telling her that she is her mother. A worry for Nancy was the fact that she is an unmarried mother. However, Sister Hilda tells her that many children in the district Poplar are classified as illegitimate children.
In S11E01, we learn that Nancy qualified as a midwife. After her own room (which was previously slept in by Delia Busby) is destroyed due to poor construction and (probably) lack of usage she starts to share the room with Trixie, and is relieved that she didn't have to share a room with Nurse Crane. The next morning, Trixie learns that Nancy has used her blowdryer and had damaged it. While others have to cope with their own problems, Nancy struggles with her secret. It is shown when Nancy does not know if Collette had the chicken pox. She feels like she was the one who needed to know that, and that she shouldn’t have to ask others for this kind of information. Meanwhile, Collette believes that Nancy is her sister. In the same episode, Nancy tells Collette that she is her mother over ice cream. It seems that Collette is taking it pretty well.
In S11E02, Nancy calls Ms. Higgins an old woman. She can’t believe that someone could burglar an “old woman” like Miss. Higgins. She is being corrected by Sister Julienne and Sister Monica Joans for calling Miss. Higgins old, when the correct term is ‘mature’.
In S11 E03 Nancy is put on the district roster for the first time, she is rather reluctant as she normally just does midwifery, but Nurse Crane says she needs to expand her skillset. She accompanies Sister Frances to the men’s TB hostel, Sister Frances who was once shy and timid is now the old hand and guiding figure. They both see a man named Albert Huntley, who soon dies with them at the bedside. Colette continues to make regular visits to Nonnatus House and begins calling Nancy mummy. While on a visit Nancy and Colette spot a homeless man around Nonnatus House, who she sees again in Frederick Buckle shop. She brings the man who is named Bernard a walking stick, they get talking and he says his mother was Irish as well and worked as a lady’s maid. When Bernard goes to the surgery hoping to see Nancy again he is turned away, so she, Dr Turner and Fred go looking for him and go deep into the streets the meth's drinkers live in the middle of the night. They find him and when taking his shoes off his foot comes off with it, this is down to gangrene. Bernard is taken to hospital, Nancy goes looking for buttercups, a flower he likes and finds a small amount for him. Bernard dies soon after and Nancy is deeply sad that she’s the only person crying for him to which Sister Frances says she isn’t. As no one knew Bernard’s surname she says he could have her surname on the forms, Bernard Corrigan. In S11 E05 Nancy and Sister Frances are asked by Sister Hilda to provide a talk to primary school girls who have started their periods about their bodies and also about things like reproduction as they’re the youngest on staff and the girls will feel better about them. Nancy believes this is important as she had no clue how her body worked and ended up with a daughter. She decides going in normal clothes would be better as well, at the end of the talk the girls are offered the chance to ask questions anonymously on paper, while most questions are unrelated like if dogs go to heaven and what happens to the egg shells (a misunderstanding about what type of egg the sperm fertilises) which they get into hysterics about, one stands out that being how to contact the NSPCC. As no names where left they need to find who asked this, in the end a young girl called Deborah comes forward and reveals her mother is abusing her and her whole family. In the end she is brought to safety.
When first introduced as a Pupil Midwife, Ann better known as Nancy is chatty and friendly and has a fondness for actress and singer Nancy Sinatra but does not always read the room. Overtime however, her upbeat personality mellows, she loves her daughter Colette and is furious when she founds out that the nuns who are in care of Colette are abusing...
