Call the Midwife Returns: Emotional Turn for Fan Favorite Character
BBC’s popular drama Call the Midwife is set to return this Sunday after a two-week break left many fans disappointed.
The show was postponed due to the Bafta’s Film Awards taking place on Sunday, 18 February, seeing Call the Midwife forced to change its regular schedule.
However, now the BBC drama set in Poplar is back ready to air its last two episodes of series 13 but it’s set to take an emotional turn for a pivotal character.
Series 13 of Call the Midwife has seen fan favourite Matthew (Olly Rix) face financial issues and martial woes with Trixie (Helen George), and now things are only set to get worse for the pair.
Call the Midwife Matthew faces emotional shock
In an exclusive clip from Radio Times for episode seven of series 13, Matthew’s financial situation gets even worse when his car is taken away.
As all of the midwives are ready to head out for their duties leaving Nonnatus House, Matthew spots a man standing next to his car writing on a clipboard.
Confused, he walks over asking if he can help only to be told that the car belongs to Alyward Estates and “they want it back”, sharing he is a bailiff leaving Matthew with no choice but to hand over the car.
Fans of Call the Midwife have been concerned for Matthew since he began struggling with the family business and the debt left behind by his late father.
The character’s troubles come after rumours that actor Olly Rix will be leaving at the end of series 13 of the BBC show.
Previously Speaking to OK! at the premiere of George’s The King And I musical, Rix said: “It’s great being part of the Call the Midwife family. For now.

Birch Close’s Grant Hodnett Sentenced for Stalking, Breaching Order
TSC News

Grant Hodnett, a 41-year-old resident of Birch Close in Rixton-on-Glazebrook, has been sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment after stalking two women and breaching a restraining order. The case was heard at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday, February 22, 2024.
Hodnett’s criminal demeanour came to light in June 2023, when he initiated a relationship with his first victim. However, after just three months, the relationship ended. What followed was a relentless campaign of harassment against the victim. She received a barrage of emails, messages, and phone calls, all falsely using her details to sign her up for various online services, including newsletters, cigarette companies, alcohol charities, and multiple therapists. The victim was even described as a “highfalutin person” and a “habitual liar.”
As if that weren’t enough, Hodnett’s web of deception extended to the victim’s friends. They, too, were contacted by him, further implicating him in the stalking incidents. Enquiries by law enforcement agencies traced these subscriptions back to Hodnett’s home address, where he had been making anonymous calls to the victim from multiple withheld numbers.
But Hodnett’s criminal history didn’t end there. In September 2020, he had already been convicted of stalking another woman. Despite this, on November 1, 2023, he was spotted on London Road in Stockton Heath—a clear violation of an indefinite restraining order that prohibited him from entering the area.
The Constabulary’s Harm Reduction Unit (HRU) launched an investigation into Hodnett’s actions. He was arrested twice during the course of the inquiry. On the first occasion, he attempted to conceal evidence by hiding his mobile phone, laptop, and tablet before surrendering to custody.
