Call the Midwife's Helen George 'sobbed like a baby' during emotional season 15 finale

Call the Midwife season 15 will soon conclude as Trixie star Helen George confesses to "sobbing" at the emotional ending.

The latest season of Call the Midwife is set to end on a sentimental note that left actress Helen George "in a mess".

Fans of the BBC period drama have already been left fearing for the future of Nonnatus House due to the reorganisation of the National Health Service, leaving Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) absolutely devastated. Will the nuns and nurses be forced to leave the convent? If so, where will they go?

Sister Monica Joan (Judy Parfitt) has also been diagnosed with kidney failure, as Dr. Patrick Turner (Stephen McGann) hinted that her health will rapidly decline. Meanwhile, Sister Veronica (Rebecca Gethings) is questioning her dedication to the order following her wishes to have a child of her own, and has left Honnatus House.

With all of the latest drama unfolding, Helen George, who plays Nurse Trixie, has teased a very emotional ending to the current season of Call the Midwife, saying viewers will be a "mess".

The 41-year-old admitted that a particular scene honouring the series' characters made her sob "like a baby".

Helen told the Radio Times Covers Party 2026: "There's this scene, I won't really go into detail, but it sort of encompasses all of the characters that we've had on the show over the last 15 years."

She added, "And when I walked onto the set, I just sobbed, I sobbed like a baby. It was really emotional. So if I was a mess - and I'm heart of steel - then the audience will be a mess as well."

Renee Bailey, who plays Joyce, added: "It makes you laugh, it makes you cry. It's a hug and it's also heartbreaking. It's a mix of everything, but I think audiences are going to love it."

The period drama, created by Heidi Thomas, is set to return for season 16, with a tentative 2027 release. Heidi recently teased that the season 15 finale would shed further light on where the Nonnatus gang will end up.

She said: "Many of the things that I depict in that episode I have experienced in life, so it felt strangely personal," reports Radio Times

Heidi added: "But I think that the driving thing was to do a really good job. We're only getting one chance to wrap up this iteration, and it has to be done to the highest possible standard.

"So it's hard, and it's very emotional, not because it's sad, but because it's beautiful."

Following series 15, there will be a Call the Midwife film set in 1972, along with a prequel series set during World War II featuring younger versions of the core characters.

The season will conclude on 8 March at pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Call the Midwife airs Sunday at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer
