Call the Midwife’s Helen George teases emotional season 15 finale: ‘I sobbed like a baby’

by

Viewers of Call the Midwife should prepare for a very moving season 15 finale, according to Helen George.

The actor who plays Trixie described a scene that brings together all the characters from the show’s past 15 years. They shared this at the TopMob Covers Party 2026, but didn’t want to reveal specific details.

When I stepped onto the set, I immediately burst into tears. It was a very emotional moment. If I, someone who usually stays strong, was so upset, I knew the audience would be deeply moved as well.

Renee Bailey, who plays Joyce, described the show as the complete “Call the Midwife” experience. She explained that it’s a show with a full range of emotions – it’s funny, sad, comforting, and sometimes devastating – but she believes viewers will really enjoy it.

As spring arrives, I’ve been reflecting on the show a lot,” said Natalie Quarry, who played Rosalind. “I truly hope it leaves a lasting impression on audiences.

Viewers of Call the Midwife anticipated a particularly emotional season 15 after creator Heidi Thomas revealed to TopMob that it would mark the end of an era, and that writing the finale was a difficult process.

It has now been confirmed that Sister Monica Joan has a long-term kidney condition that cannot be cured. Viewers are preparing to say goodbye to Judy Parfitt’s beloved and well-established character on Call the Midwife.

I’m revisiting scenes that have really stuck with me, scenes I can’t let go of,” the actor explained to TopMob. “It’s been incredibly difficult at times. As an actor, having a strong imagination is a gift, but it can also be really challenging to deal with personally.

“So having all that to play was wonderful. I don’t know what I’ll do without her, actually.”
