‘New decade, new hair!’ Call the Midwife favourite debuts bold new look for 70s
The 14th series of Call The Midwife is currently in the works, and one character has undergone a makeover for the new series. Actress Helen George has given fans a peek behind the scenes, revealing her character Trixie has a new hairstyle.
Helen, who has played Trixie since Call the Midwife began, posted a stunning mirror selfie on social media as she got ready to film new scenes. She sported a short bleach blonde bob, complete with a full fringe slightly parted in the middle.
It seems Trixie's style is evolving as the show transitions into the 1970s. Helen sported a dark green roll-neck jumper and patterned knitted vest in the snap - an iconic fashion trend from the era.
Helen looked worlds away from her usual self in the snap. The actress normally sports long brunette hair and glam make-up.
She confirmed she would be returning to Call the Midwife back in April as she shared footage from series 14 on social media. Dressed up as Trixie, she could be seen walking down the steps of Nonnatus House in a black and white coat.
The 39 year old star said: "Series 14 awaits...," confirming she would be back. Fans of Call the Midwife were thrilled to learn of Helen's return, after her future on the show was left uncertain at the end of series 13.
In the season finale, Trixie announced her plans to join her husband Matthew Alyward (Olly Rix) in New York. He ditched Poplar for NYC earlier in the series in a bid to build up his fortune again, but Trixie was hesitant to join him over there. However, she changed her mind and shared her plans at the end of the series.
It's yet to be revealed what will unfold for the couple. It's possible Trixie could be absent from the first episodes of series 14 if she has headed to see her husband in New York, or she could leave mid-series to relocate permanently.
Call the Midwife creator and writer Heidi Thomas was "overjoyed" to announce the show would be returning for a 14th and 15th series. She said: "Call the Midwife is the pride and joy of all who work on it, but it's our fantastic, loyal audience that matters most. We are a family behind the scenes, on the screen, and in front of the telly, and I'm thrilled that we're all heading into the 1970's together."
