The Call the Midwoman Christmas special has had its ups and downs lately. Unfortunately, right at the very beginning of the episode, we found out that Fenella Woolgar, who played Sister Hilda, was fired from the show. Viewers also saw the reappearance of nurse Trixie Franklin and her engagement to Matthew. While those events excite fans, the passing of Fenelle Woolgar and Ella Bruccoleri, who played Sister Frances, is heartbreaking.
Sister Hilda’s passing was discreet and discreet, unlike what happened to Sister Frances. Fans will miss the lovely nurses at Nonnatus House in Poplar. Let’s delve deeper into Fenella Woolgar’s life and career as Sister Hilda’s on-call midwife.
Always watch the credits! That’s how I realized Fenella Woolgar’s favorite audiobook is Sister Hilda. What a cute character…and voice! pic.twitter.com/QnHpl1AHaX
