And I do think Lawrie cares that she can't sing - look how distressed she gets when she has to stand with Marie and Frances Fryer. (Is that the 'Go away, I want Tim' incident, or does that come later?)
Nicola clearly can act to a workmanlike standard and likes it - she makes a Shepherd Boy worth coaching, and moves people emotionally with 'Would God I had been blind' in The Prince And The Pauper - so possibly it hits Lawrie in her rather off-kilter sense of what's Not Fair that she can't sing at all. Or possibly she realises that it will cut down the number of stage roles she can take - she'll certainly never be cast in a musical or a panto.
I'm still not sure why Lawrie can't sing. I think it might have been forester48 who suggested it might have been the result of some kind of ear infection causing a period of deafness during her rather fraught early years.
