If you've seen the Call the Midwife season 15 finale, you'll most likely be sobbing on your sofa, wondering if life will ever be the same again. Half way through the season it appeared the writing was on the wall for Sister Monica Joan's (Judy Parfitt) death. We hoped we were simply being handed a red herring, and the beloved nun would live to see another year at Nonnatus House.Devastatingly, this wasn't another tease. Sister Monica Joan has had her final requiem and been escorted to whatever comes after death by old friend Sister Evangelina (Pam Ferris,) in the perfect cameo that wouldn't have left a dry eye in any household tuning in.And did you spot the Easter Egg in the Christmas special that "foretold" her death? We didn't either, but Sister Monica Joan kindly points it out to Sister Catherine (Molly Vevers,) and to the audience."You foretold it," she tells the younger nun of her imminent departure. She recalls Mr Fisher (Henry goodman), the terminally ill guest star for the 2025 Christmas special with whose death Sister Monica Joan was involved. "When he died, he was met by all who loved him," she tells Sister Catherine," adding, "and you said the Sisters would come for me." And they begin to arrive in the season 15 finale, just as Sister Catherine suggested.
