Call the Midwife Returns with Explosive Finale This Sunday
After a frustrating two-week break, “Call the Midwife” is back on BBC One this Sunday at 8 pm. Fans of the beloved drama set in Poplar have been waiting eagerly as the show missed a slot due to the Bafta Film Awards. Now, the final two episodes of series 13 promise heartbreak and drama, focusing on one fan-favourite character’s tough journey.
Matthew’s Life Hits Rock Bottom
Series 13 has seen Matthew (Olly Rix) struggle through financial woes and relationship strain with his wife Trixie (Helen George). But things get even darker when Matthew’s car is repossessed — a crushing blow in an already shaky situation.
An exclusive Radio Times clip reveals the heart-wrenching moment when a bailiff from Alyward Estates shows up to take back Matthew’s vehicle. As the midwives get ready to leave Nonnatus House, Matthew is left stunned and powerless, forced to hand over the car.
Fan Fears and Rumours Swirl Around Matthew’s Future
Fans have been concerned about Matthew since financial troubles first hit, especially after he inherited debt tied to his late father’s family business. Rumours have been swirling that Olly Rix might soon exit the show, adding tension to his storyline.
Rix has teased viewers to “watch to the end of this series” for plenty of surprises and “bumps in the road.” Back in September 2023, it emerged that writers had told Rix about his character’s upcoming departure, a revelation that shocked both cast and crew.
Countdown to an Emotional Series Finale
With the finale looming, fans are desperate to see how Matthew’s story wraps up and what his exit could mean for the future of “Call the Midwife”. Don’t miss the gripping episode this Sunday on BBC One — it’s set to be a tearjerker.
