CALL the Midwife’s Helen George has revealed the fate of a fan-favourite character hangs in the balance.
A huge twist saw her marriage turned upside down on the BBC drama as Trixie had a huge decision to make.
On the show, her husband Matthew (Olly Rix) has taken the opportunity to move to New York City for business.
This was after he lost control of his late dad’s company in the last series of Call The Midwife because of increasing debts.
After a period of hesitation, she decided to go with her husband to the Big Apple.
Her character is now splitting time between London and the American city after she took on an executive role in Poplar.
This was in an attempt to save Nonnatus House as the Board of Health wanted to shut it down.
She informed Sister Julienne that the pair do plan on returning to England, however the actress has no idea what the future holds for the couple.
Speaking to Radio Times at its Covers party, she was asked about what will happen with her character’s marriage.
However, it seems that Helen has no idea if Matthew will ever come back to Poplar.
Helen commented: “Who knows!”
“It’ll be interesting to see what happens there. At the moment, I don’t know, and I’m excited to find out what happens.”
After Olly Rix departed the long-running show, the outlet reported that bosses had left the door open in case he wanted to return to the drama.
However, it remains to be seen whether fans will ever see Trixie and Matthew on-screen together again.
Meaning that question marks remain over their marriage on the BBC One period show.
The fourteenth series of the show has proven to be particularly dramatic for a number of characters.
Call The Midwife: A breakdown
Call The Midwife first came onto the airwaves in 2012 and has been seen by millions. But what is it about?
Series one: Set in early 1957 and it explored the ‘Baby Boom generation, which included themes of poverty and post-war immigration.
Series two: Set in 1958 and it showed gas and air being introduced for pain relief for the first time. It ended with the Nonnatus House building being condemned.
Series three: Set in 1959 and it depicted gruesome conditions such as cystic fibrosis, polio and it showed the midwives in the context on prisons.
Series four: Set in 1960 under the threat of nuclear warfare and the emergency response guidelines issued by the local Civil Defence Corp. Other themes included LGBT rights, and syphilis.
Series five: Set in 1961 and it shows the care of patients with conditions such as Typhoid and strokes. We also saw the effects of thalidomide, the introduction of the contraceptive pill.
Series six: Set in 1962 and domestic violence was at the centre of the season. Other themes included FGM (female genital mutilation), mental health issues and interracial marriage. It was also notable for the introduction of Reggie, a recurring character with Down Syndrome.
Series seven: Set in 1963 and we see Nurse Lucille Anderson for the first time. We also see the show address conditions such as dementia, huntington’s disease, leprosy and meningitis
Series eight: Set in 1964 and it bravely covered the issue of abortion, which was not legal for another three years in 1967. Sickle cell disease, cleft lip, cleft palate and intersex people also featured.
Series nine: Diptheria was at the centre of the ninth instalment in 1965, and it was notable for featuring a blind expectant mother. But the role of Nonnatus House within the community also came into question.
Series ten: Set in 1966, Nonnatus House has a rival in the form of the private Lady Emily Clinic in Mayfair. PKU, diabetes and the controversy surrounding abortion were central themes.
Series eleven: Set in 1967 amid the housing crisis and a scabies epidemic. The show was rocked by a train crash right next to Nonnatus House.
The midwives welcomed Sister Catherine (Molly Vevers) into the ranks of Nonnatus House, but she has a tragic backstory.
This is as Nancy (Megan Cusack) left her job to become closer to her betrothed partner Roger (Conor O’Donnell).
There was also a potential romance blossoming between Rosalind (Natalie Quarry) and Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) before he traveled to Jamaica to see his estranged wife Lucille.
This comes after Matthew failed to return for the highly-publicised Christmas specials.
Trixie mentioned Matthew in the plot as she planned to return to the Big Apple after Christmas in the special.
However, it looked like fans would not see the handsome character on their screens any time soon.
Fourteen series of Call The Midwife are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
