Call the Midwife star teases the return of ‘old faces’
Speaking with the Radio Times, Helen George confirmed the cast has discussed the return of “old faces” for the end of the series.
She said: “Wouldn’t it be nice? Like at the end of Titanic, all the characters come and it’s just beautiful. It would have been amazing to have everybody.”
Maybe at the end of the very, very last series
Helen added: “It’ll be nice at some point. Maybe at the end of the very, very last series to get some of the old faces back.”
Helen revealed she would like to see Charlotte Richie return. She played beloved nurse Barbara Gilbert, who sadly died of septicemia in series seven.
She’s also mentioned she’d like to see the return of Oscar-winning star Emerald Fennell. She rose to fame on the show as Patsy Mount.
She finally concluded she’d like to see “all of them” return for the finale. We’re sure fans would agree!
