Sister Julienne (played by Jenny Agutter) is head honcho at Nonnatus House and in this year’s festive outing of Call The Midwife, she and several other members of her team ventured to the Outer Hebrides. The BBC drama left viewers in tears, yet still managed to bring some light-hearted scenes to commemorate the season of goodwill. However, with a new season on the horizon at the beginning of the New Year, could the beloved nun find herself killed as a result of some unwarranted changes in Poplar?

When season nine gets underway, the characters will find themselves in 1965 where they will be caring for all manner of expectant mothers and the ailing population of London. What they won’t realise is Nonnatus House might be under threat as change in the political spectrum leads to new developments being built and hospitals reorganised.
