Brief Character History
Nancy is the conniving, manipulating wife of Dr. Craig Wesley. She is determined to become Mrs. Chief-of-Staff, and we don't think she wants to marry Mike! She wants to push Mike out of the position so her well-deserving husband can take over his rightful place.
In the beginning, she was very much Daddy's little girl, constantly threatening Craig if he didn't become Chief of Staff, she'd leave, taking Daddy's money with her. Now she's come into her own, scheming on her own and always loving her husband no matter what. With Craig, she planned for Mike to be found in a bad position with a woman at the party. She is now pushing Carrie with Mike, but becoming a confidant to Carrie also. She might have a heart. But we feel for her, she is in the middle of a breast cancer scare. We hope the writers don't make this lethal. We love this character too much.
Nancy survived her cancer scare, and is now pushing Craig to push Ali in her lawsuit agains Mike Horton and the hospital. Nancy wants Craig to be COS more than anything else. He got what he wanted, just in time for another strike to hit their relationship. Chloe Lane, a foster girl Nancy had brought home with her, was in actuality Nancy's daughter, that she had given up for adoption as a teenager. Despite Chloe and Craig both pressing her, Nancy refused to name Chloe's father.
Nancy eventually revealed that she had been raped at 16 by her father's business associate, Dr. Frederick Sykes, when it was revealed that Chloe had leukemia, and needed a bone marrow transplant. Brady and Craig were able to discover that Sykes was not, in fact, Chloe's father, and testing proved that Craig was really her father, which left Nancy wracked with guilt at the thought that she and Craig lost so many years with their daughter.
To provide Chloe with the best possible donor, Craig and Nancy decided to have another baby. Despite some health problems, Nancy was able to successfully conceive and carry their baby to term, and when the little girl was born, they named her Joy, because that was what she brought to them.
