The first episode of Call the Midwife season nine has already had viewers in tears - find out why
January 06, 2020 - 10:13 GMT Emmy Griffiths Call the Midwife returned to our screens on Sunday night for season nine, and viewers have already taken to Twitter in tears to talk about the emotional episode, which saw our favourite characters deal with an outbreak of diphtheria, a bacterial infection that is highly contagious and can be deadly. In the episode, a pregnant mother-of-two is giving birth when her son collapses after contracting the infection.
Helen George, who plays Trixie, recently opened up about why she thought people loved the popular series so much, telling The Guardian:"It lulls people into a warm, cuddly trance, but the subject matter is thought-provoking. If it was purely a hard-hitting drama about social equality and feminism, it probably wouldn’t be as popular. We covered the thalidomide controversy. Our abortion storyline was on air at the same time as laws were being passed in Ireland.
