Jenny Agutter Talks Nonnatus House's Uncertain Future in 'Call the Midwife's Finale
It is somehow once again time to say goodbye to Call the Midwife, even though it feels like we just returned to Poplar. Luckily, we already know that we'll be getting at least two more seasons, a spinoff, and a movie, so this is definitely "goodbye for now" rather than a final farewell. As with any Call the Midwife finale, there were celebrations but also some concerns that will carry over to Season 15.
Nancy (Megan Cusack) and Roger (Connor O'Donnell) returned to Poplar for their wedding, but Nancy also had to reveal during her final wedding dress fitting that she was very, very pregnant. She and Roger clearly celebrated their engagement early, but that meant a little bit of a scramble before the ceremony when she suddenly went into labor.
While Nonnatus House was overjoyed to have a new baby in the mix and to have a wedding to attend, it was not a worry-free situation. Sister Catherine's (Molly Vevers) vow ceremony took a few nuns to the Mother House. While Catherine had a joyous reunion with her sister before taking her first vows, Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) discovered that The Order as a whole is struggling financially. The head of Nonnatus House realized that their chapter wasn't the only one struggling to find their place in the 1970s world order.
