After it was recently confirmed that Nancy will experience symptoms once again, it has now been revealed that she will begin to have her health scare next week.
In the new scenes, Nancy has an MS relapse while at school, which leads Dee Dee Hutchinson to spring into action as she calls Abigail Matthews for help.
However, the sinister new character turns cold towards Dee Dee, which comes after the latter attempted to kiss her this week amid the disturbing grooming storyline.
Later at the hospital, Nancy feels restless, and she is visited by Abigail, who has come with a gift basket.

Opening up recently to Digital Spy about the MS storyline, Nancy actor Jessica Fox told us: “Nancy’s going to have a little bit of a health scare. We’re going to remind the audience that she has MS, and we’re going to touch on that a little bit.”
Meanwhile, the grooming storyline was confirmed back in July, with the soap working with the NSPCC and TDI (The Derwent Initiative) on the important plot.
“We’re definitely doing a story that I don’t think any other soap has done before,” Jessica previously explained. “We’re challenging Dee Dee in ways that I didn’t see coming – she’s such a cracking little actress and I’m excited to see what she does.”
Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.
