BBC One's 'Call the Midwife' returned with a heart-tugging episode that saw the budding midwife Rosalind Clifford, portrayed by Natalie Quarry, subtly reveal her affection for Cyril Robinson (Zephryn Taitte). The duo had been dedicating their time at a homeless shelter and had bonded over their mutual desire to aid those in need.
As they grew closer, it became evident that Rosalind was harbouring deeper feelings for Cyril. Yet, her aspirations seemed to crumble in the latest instalment when Cyril disclosed his plans to take a break to be with his wife Lucille (Leonie Elliott).
Cyril's decision came after he received a letter from Lucille in an earlier episode, which made him realise the depth of his longing for her and the importance of nurturing their marriage. A crestfallen Rosalind managed to express her happiness for Cyril's opportunity to visit Jamaica, despite her own disappointment.
Lucille's exit from the series was driven by her choice to focus on her mental well-being following a miscarriage. She departed in season 12 due to a mix of depression, yearning for home, and the escalating anti-immigrant sentiment in Britain at the time.
Leonie Elliott, who brought Lucille to life, took to social media to confirm her departure from the series. In her post, she expressed: "Having spent six years on a truly wonderful show, with a fantastic team, I have fallen deeper and deeper in love with Lucille.".
