Call the Midwife fans will be delighted to hear that Helen George is returning for the 12th series of the period drama as her much-loved character Nurse Trixie Franklin. The 39-year-old star left the last series early to go on maternity leave but will be making a welcomed comeback in the new series.
During episode five of series 11, Helen's character Trixie left Nonnatus House to go and look after her godmother in Italy who had taken ill but promised Matthew, who she was in a blossoming relationship with, that she would return - and it seems like Trixie kept her promise! On Monday, April 26, the Call the Midwife social media accounts shared a picture of Helen back on set filming a night shoot for the twelfth series.
The post read: "Our first week of filming the brand new Series 12 involves both day and night shooting - and guess who made a welcome return to Nonnatus house last night for her first scene... Trixie! Played of course by our lovely Helen George."
