Two popular characters are set to leave Call the Midwife this Christmas, it has been reported.
Sister Hilda, played by Fenella Woolgar, is already absent by the time the festive special kicks off, having been called away for God’s work at the Mother House. And it won’t be long before young Sister Frances, played by Ella Bruccoleri, is packed off to join her after falling off her bike in the snow during a birth emergency.
By the end of the BBC feature-length special, to air on Christmas Day, the young nun has disappeared to the coast for a lengthy spell of recuperation. Viewers will know that the Mother House is a place from where nuns never return to Poplar - and Sister Frances will be no exception, reports The Mirror.
