Call the Midwife viewers react to new cast addition as they notice another absence
Nonnatus House welcomed a fresh face in Sunday night's episode of Call the Midwife as trainee midwife Sister Catherine (Molly Vevers) made her debut on the show – and viewers are all saying the same thing about the new nun.
The latest episode saw Sister Catherine arrive in Poplar before being thrown into a complex case, while Dr Turner was surprised when mum-of-seven Peggy sought an abortion.
Taking to social media, fans praised Sister Catherine as an "amazing" addition to Nonnatus House, with one person writing: "Kinda in love with Sister Catherine already," while another added: "Well I absolutely love the new addition, Sister Catherine, she's fab."
A third viewer remarked: " LOVED TONIGHTS EP!!!! Made me cry, as usual. And I LOVE sister Catherine," while another agreed, penning: "So we're all in agreement that Sister Catherine is amazing right?"
But while fans were full of praise for the new cast member, they couldn't help but notice the absence of Dr Turner and Shelagh's son, Timothy Turner (played by Max Macmillan).
The trainee doctor, who left for medical school in the 2021 series, was last seen on the show at the end of series 13.
One fan wrote: "No sign of Timothy yet," while another penned: "Not to worry anyone but where’s Timothy Turner?"
