Call the Midwife fans praise ‘beautiful’ finale after beloved character’s shock death

  • The series 15 finale of Call the Midwife featured the emotional death of Sister Monica Joan, a beloved character for 14 years, after her health deteriorated and she decided to stop her medication.
  • Her passing was depicted with a poignant vision of Sister Evangelina, who guided her into the afterlife, leaving many viewers deeply moved.
  • The episode also included Cyril and Rosalind's wedding and addressed the future of Nonnatus House, which was described as temporarily closed amid the modernisation of the NHS.
  • Key characters saw changes, with Joyce accepting a new role, Trixie preparing to leave, and Nurse Crane remaining as Dr Turner’s district nurse, indicating an 'alteration' rather than full closure for Nonnatus House.
  • Fans widely praised the finale as “beautiful” and “perfect”, while cast members have hinted at significant changes for the show in upcoming series.
