Known for her role as Nurse Nancy Corrigan in Call The Midwife, up-and-coming actress Megan Cusack is part of the Cusack family acting dynasty. Megan is currently 27 years old; she was born on the 23rd May 1996 and was brought up in West Cork.
Megan in Call The Midwife
First appearing on the show in series 10, Megan has been playing Ann “Nancy” Corrigan since 2021. Her character was raised by Catholic nuns in an orphanage and was then sent away to Nonnatus house as a trainee midwife.
At age 16, Nancy had a daughter named Colette, who also features in the show and lives in the same orphanage that her mother did as she was born out of wedlock. Nancy receives monthly visits from her daughter, but then takes her welfare into her own hands and tries to work hard to provide a life for her child.
Speaking to Radio Times about what her character Nancy got up to Call The Midwife series 12, Megan said: "Hopefully, or what I expect, is more of a fight to have her daughter. I think despite being very foot-in-mouth and a bit erratic, I think the main thing is she wants to make her daughter her own and live together."
We were pleased to hear that Nurse Corrigan will also be in Call The Midwife season 13.
