The popular BBC drama Call the Midwife is making a comeback with a special Christmas episode set to air in December. Fans will be introduced to a new cast member, nine-year-old actress Myla Park, in the upcoming festive installment. While details about her character are being kept under wraps, it is known that she will play a significant role in the episode. The show’s official Instagram account shared a behind-the-scenes photo of Myla with the other children on set, including April Rae Hoang, Alice Brown, and Edward Shaw, who portray the Turner children in the series.
The post highlighted the bond between the young actors on set, describing them as great playmates who have fun together during filming. The upcoming Christmas special, set in 1969, is said to mark a poignant turning point before the show transitions into the ’70s. Teasers from the show’s social media accounts suggest that a travelling funfair will arrive in Poplar, offering the cast members exciting rides and games.
In the previous season, viewers witnessed emotional moments as Mrs. Higgins was reunited with her long-lost son, Victor, who was battling kidney disease. Meanwhile, concerns arose about the departure of Trixie Franklin, who hinted at joining her husband in New York. Despite speculations, actress Helen George, who plays Trixie, has shared images from the set of season 14, indicating that she will continue to be part of the show.
Fans of Call the Midwife were saddened by the exit of actor Olly Rix last year, but there is hope for his character’s return since he was not killed off. However, reports suggest that Rix has taken on a role in Casualty, potentially delaying his comeback to the series. While details about the Christmas special are yet to be revealed, viewers can look forward to heartwarming and dramatic moments as the show progresses.
Call the Midwife remains a beloved series that captivates audiences with its touching storylines and talented cast. As new characters join the ensemble and familiar faces navigate challenging situations, the show continues to resonate with viewers and deliver compelling narratives.
