'Call the Midwife' Recap: Series 5 Episode 5
This week’s installment of Call the Midwife focuses on stories about the importance of self-esteem, open-mindedness and unconditional love. Some of the characters who have been in the foreground recently fade back to let others into the spotlight for a time. Let’s revisit what happened to the residents of Poplar this week.
Roseanne Dawley and Nurse Crane – When elegant young mother-to-be, Roseanne Dawley (Celeste Dodwell) comes in to the clinic for her check-up, it’s obvious that despite her polished exterior, she is apprehensive about motherhood itself.
When she returns home, we discover Mrs. Dawley lives in one of the nicest homes we’ve ever seen on Call the Midwife. She has an amiable middle-aged housekeeper and a doting husband Denis (Arthur Havill) who appears to be nearly twice her age and is concerned she has no one younger in her life.
