Relationships[]
Frank Hardy[]
Although they usually refer to each other as just "good friends", Nancy and Frank Hardy seem to have a great attraction to each other and have shared many romantic moments. During one case, as a cover story, Frank and Nancy pretended to be husband and wife, and shared a kiss.[1]. Still, despite their feelings, Frank's and Nancy's respective loyalties to Callie Shaw and Ned Nickerson keep them from pursuing a steady relationship.
- Nancy: "We have to face reality, though. This relationship can't go anywhere. Ned and Callie are waiting for us back in the States."
- Frank: "You're right, Nancy. As much as you mean to me, I'm in love with Callie."
- Nancy: "And I'm in love with Ned."
- —Nancy and Frank, after sharing a kiss.[1]
Joe Hardy[]
Nancy and Joe Hardy are good friends, and share a much more relaxed relationship than Nancy and Frank. Nancy realizes that sometimes she spends so much time thinking about Frank and forgets that she and Joe have a lot in common, too.[2]
During the Buff Bellamy murder trial, Joe and Nancy were at odds due to having conflicting views of the case. Nancy and her father, Carson Drew, believed Bellamy to be innocent, while the Hardys believed him to be guilty of murder. Joe obstructed Nancy's investigation to the point of accidentally endangering her life. Later in the case, however, Joe surprised Nancy by jumping out of an airplane to save Nancy's life.[3]
Real world information[]
The strength of Nancy and Frank's attraction to each other varies between books; for example, in books in which Nancy's boyfriend Ned Nickerson appears or one of them have an attraction toward someone else, they are not as attracted to each other, although both can appear jealous from time to time.
