This year's festive edition of Call the Midwife is set to see the departure of two much-loved characters. A pair of midwife nuns will depart Poplar after four years on the BBC series.
One, Sister Hilda, played by Fenella Woolgar, will already be absent when the Christmas special begins. She will have been called away for God's work at the Mother House, reports the Mirror.
She'll be followed by Sister Frances, portrayed by Ella Bruccoleri. Sister Frances is sent to join Sister Hilda after falling off her bike in the snow during a birth emergency.
