Call the Midwife has teased its upcoming Sunday episode, promising BBC audiences a glimpse of Trixie Aylward (Helen George) as she battles to protect Nonnatus House.
In a freshly released snippet, viewers will hardly recognise the fan-favourite as she ditches her nurse’s attire. Trixie is showcased donning an elegant blue midi skirt paired with a coordinating blazer.
Beneath it, she sports a light blue collared blouse, complementing the look with black heels and a tan briefcase. The preview shows Trixie in a grave discussion with Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter), who reveals that the Board of Health has launched an assault on Nonnatus House.
Sister Julienne is visibly shocked by the revelation, adding: “They do not like that the Order are, by definition, religious sisters.”
