Who will play different roles in Season 12 of Call the Midwife?
As per the sources, most of the regular Call the Midwife cast members are expected to return for season 12. It appears that Sister Hilda (Fenella Woolgar) and Sister Frances (Ella Bruccoleri) will be leaving the show after this year’s Christmas special. Rebecca Gethings, who was previously unannounced, has been cast as Sister Veronica. She described her personality as follows “As a result, she frequently manages to stick her foot in it and prick egos. However, she only ever does what’s best. Though she isn’t the introverted type. “She rushes in without waiting to be welcomed. Because she is worthless in her ministry unless she is effecting change, she usually immediately rushes in and goes to work.” Stars appearing in future episodes of Season 12 are still being revealed.

Storyline of the Next Series
Poplar will return to normal in Season 12 after the train crash at the end of Season 11, with the Nonnatus House midwives welcoming a heavily pregnant Rhoda Mullucks back to the maternity unit. Rhoda is understandably anxious, as her previous child was born with congenital disabilities in Season 5 after Dr. Patrick Turner prescribed her thalidomide. As stated by Thomas, a ventouse birth will be seen for the first time in the upcoming season. She continued, “Once again, we’re looking at some really compelling stories about how society was developing at that time. Indeed, not every new development will be a welcome improvement. Enoch Powell’s controversial remarks against immigration that led to his removal from the Shadow Cabinet will likewise have an outsized impact on the upcoming section.
