Hollyoaks fans confused over 'missing' Nancy storyline

ABSOLUTELY nothing gets past dedicated Hollyoaks audiences.

Back in January, member Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox) was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis – a condition which can affect the brain and/or spinal cord.

The illness can go on to cause a range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance.

Nancy's form is called relapsing-retting MS which means a sufferer can go for days or even years before they're interrupted by a relapse.

During a relapse, symptoms can last a few days or even weeks to months.

DEVASTATING: Nancy was diagnosed with MS in January

But Hollyoaks fans have spotted that Nancy's neurological condition has faded into the background.

In recent episodes, the fiery mum went on a 6km jog and confused viewers took to social media to quiz her health.

One person tweeted: "Nancy has had a miraculous recovery from her MS."

"Yep, just like Ste stopped having blackouts and Nancy stopped having MS symptoms. They only have ailments when it's convenient to the plot," continued another.

A third slammed: "Hang on a minute wtf?

"Are we all just gonna pretend Nagging Nancy doesn't have ME? or MS? Which ever one it was Anymore? 6k run when a few months back she couldn't walk with out falling?"

Maybe Nancy is currently in remission – which fans should remember could last for years at a time.

Back in April, actress Jessica revealed she was warned by fans over her character's shock MS diagnosis.

Jessica confessed: "The way social media works today, you learn very quickly what people think."

She continued to Express Online: "When Nancy started to have tremors and warning signs last summer, I had messages saying, 'If Nancy is going to have MS they better do it right.'"

Keep doing what you're doing, Jessica.
