'Call the Midwife' Enters a New Decade in the Season 14 Premiere

It's a new decade on Call the Midwife, and with that comes new issues. We rejoin the nuns of Nonnatus House and the midwives in the spring of 1970, only a few short months after the events of the double Christmas episode. Trixie (Helen George) is back in Poplar to keep her midwife license current and help Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) battle the Board of Health to fund Nonnatus House.

Meanwhile, protests on the Isle of Dogs, labor strikes, and emerging diseases keep the nuns and nurses busy. The women and Doctor Turner (Stephen McGann) have their work cut out. It's not all bleak news, though. Rosalind (Natalie Quarry) is finding her feet in Poplar and took up volunteering at the homeless shelter with Cyril (Zephryn Taitte). Nancy (Megan Cusack) is still going strong with Roger (Connor O'Donnell). The two are making moves after Nancy was offered a new job that would allow them to start a new chapter together and give Collette (Francesca Fullilove) better schooling. After a battle of wills with Roger's mother, the two are engaged and ready to start a life together. Nancy will be moving on, but we have a wedding to plan before we have to officially say goodbye.

The wedding news was a great reprieve after Doctor Turner and the nurses had to care for a young teenager whose parents believed she got pregnant by immaculate conception, and the Isle of Dogs protests put Rosalind's patient of the week in grave danger.
