Call the Midwife's Helen George lets slip backstage 'drama' during filming for series finale

Helen George has let slip that things didn't go entirely to plan backstage as camera rolled on the series finale of Call The Midwife.

After fans were kept waiting a week longer than anticipated to see the highly anticipated episode, due to the BBC postponing it to shows the BAFTAs, the final part of the hit show's 12th series finally aired in its usual 8pm slot on February 26 and there was plenty of highs and lows for viewers to experience over the hour long broadcast.

Many Call The Midwife viewers described this year's finale as 'an emotional rollercoaster' with the death of a heavily pregnant mum seeing things take a tragic turn 45 minutes in, as a frantic Dr Turner hastily delivered her unborn baby, before everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Sister Monica Joan, who appeared gravely ill in the penultimate episode, turned up at the church to lead proceedings as Helen's character Trixie married her beau Matthew.
