Fans adore Sister Monica Joan in Call the Midwife
The twelfth series of Call the Midwife has gone down a treat for fans but there are only two episodes left so many are wondering how the show will wrap the story in the upcoming finale.
One worry viewers have is that another beloved character Lucille Anderson could be set to make a departure for good. In episode five, Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) received some worrying news about his wife Lucille, who recently left Poplar for Jamaica following her mental breakdown.

The nurse had been struggling with her mental health in recent months for a number of reasons, including Enoch Powell's anti-immigration speech and the fact that the couple were struggling to conceive.
After learning that Lucille had taken a job on a maternity ward in Jamaica and wouldn't be returning home for six months, Cyril began to fear for their marriage. "Maybe there was more wrong than I knew, in the marriage, in us." We hope she pulls through!
