Here Begins a New Life

A little corner where I express my love of Call the Midwife in general and Turnadette in particular.

I have loved the Sister Veronica / Beryl storyline this series and I don’t know and actually don’t mind which way it’s going to end. However, I suspect that Sister Veronica will return to the order and to Nonnatus house because she has had a chance to explore the alternative and has realised that the religious life is where she wants to remain. I think this would be a fitting end to the story arc and genuinely a happy ending for her. Either way the most important thing IMO is that her wonderful friendship with Geoffrey continues 💕💕💕

A series of scenes adding more depth to the events of series 15. I started this story several years ago with a different character but couldn’t get it to work so abandoned it. Then Sister Veronica came along, S15E05 happened & suddenly I knew where the story was meant to go. After heavy editing it came alive again. Hopefully it was worth the wait.

I don’t mind how this storyline goes but I will be so disappointed if we don’t see a conversation between Sr Veronica & Shelagh at some point. The writers seem to have a tragic inability to call back to previous storylines, I’m thinking particularly of the fact there have been two recent episodes concerning TB and not a single mention that Shelagh was treated, recovered & had far reaching effects from that very illness 😡😡😡😡. Consequently, and sadly, I’m not holding out much hope 😢

Couldn’t help myself - recent photos needed a little adjustment 😜

So in tonight’s episode (s13e08) Poplar is going to vote for mother of the year. While I’d like it to be Shelagh I feel that’s probably too obvious so my vote for who will win goes to Sister Julienne instead as she’s a mother figure to the whole community. Who do you think the winner will be?

Shelagh Turner

Sister Julienne

Nancy Corrigan

Violet Buckle

Trixie Aylward

Sister Monica Joan

Phyllis Crane

Millicent Higgins

Sister Veronica

Someone else (comment who)
