Call the Midwife exit sealed after Sister makes | UK News

Call the Midwife has delivered a stunning twist for one of its nuns as the BBC drama returns with a new sequence.

The eagerly awaited opening episode of the beloved show’s fifteenth season broadcast on Sunday night (January 11), following an intense festive double invoice. Set in 1971, quite a few midwives are championing Women’s Liberation by torching their undergarments outdoors Nonnatus House.

The episode also featured a devastating untimely supply that decreased Sister Catherine (Molly Vevers) to tears, while Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett), Nurse Joyce Highland (Renee Bailey), and Cyril Robinson (Zephryn Taitte) grappled with a disturbing case involving baby maltreatment and abandonment.

Elsewhere, Trixie Aylward (Helen George) confronted another battle with officers as they tried to convey Nonnatus House under NHS jurisdiction.

However, past the realm of childbirth and medical duties, it was Sister Veronica (Rebecca Gethings) who shocked Call the Midwife audiences by revealing a maternal bombshell. In dialogue with Geoffrey Franklin (Christopher Harper), the devoted Sister disclosed her need to turn out to be a mom, studies the Mirror.

Sister Veronica revealed: “The thing I think people don’t understand about the life I chose is so much of it is silence”, with Geoffrey responding, “I understand”.

The nun went on: “It isn’t about when we can’t speak. It’s about what we can never say. What we can never name because that might expose us, lay us bare. And we can’t afford that, can we?”

Geoffrey responded, “No, because really who wants the whole wide world to hear them howling?”, while Sister Veronica replied, turning into tearful, “Well, I don’t think I can silence the howling anymore.”

She then insisted that Geoffrey deal with her by her precise identify, Beryl, before revealing: “I want a child. I want a child of my own to hold in my arms and keep safe, and cherish always. I want a child before it becomes impossible.”

After Sister Veronica’s stunning child revelation, Call the Midwife viewers flocked to social media to speculate that she and Geoffrey would possibly uncover romance and construct a household together, though such a selection would require the nun to abandon her non secular vows.

On X, one fan posted: “#callthemidwife Oh wow she wants a child, but she is a nun”. Another questioned: “Oh is a little romance going on here, is she going to leave the sisters. #callthemidwife”, while a third merely commented: “Geoffrey #CallTheMidwife (love heart)”.

“Geoffrey and Veronica are my absolute favourite friendship pairing, I adore them #CalltheMidwife”, declared one admirer.

One viewer gasped: “And HELLO.. sister Veronica saying she wants a baby!? OMG that was a shock”, while another puzzled: “Sister Veronica and Geoffrey lavender marriage WHEN?! #CallTheMidwife.”

One observant fan explained: “Saw that coming from the way Sister Veronica was with the baby in the Christmas special #CallTheMidwife”.

“I think her time in Hong Kong has really unsettled Sister Veronica #CallTheMidwife”, theorised another.
