Call the Midwife’s Heidi Thomas on saying goodbye to Sister Monica Joan – and those secret ghost cameos

The latest episode of Call the Midwife was incredibly moving. Showrunner Heidi Thomas really emphasized both the heartache and hope, creating a powerfully emotional experience. We saw quick, unexpected weddings with Rosalind and Cyril, Beryl accepting her life’s path, and Susan Mullucks achieving a level of independence that would have seemed impossible at her birth, given the challenges she faced as a child affected by thalidomide. As the 133rd installment, this episode truly delivered a memorable visit with the nuns and nurses of Nonnatus House.
