BBC One's beloved period drama, Call the Midwife, has made a triumphant return with fresh episodes for fans to enjoy. Stephen McGann is back in his role as Doctor Patrick Turner for his fourteenth series on the show, which now takes place in 1970, ushering in a new era for the storyline.
The 61-year-old actor has been portraying the heroic doctor since the show's inception in 2012, captivating audiences with his performances. As a beacon of hope in a poverty-stricken part of London, Dr Turner has saved lives, assisted in childbirth, and consistently warmed viewers' hearts with each episode.
Fans of Call the Midwife will remember the touching moment when Dr. Turner found love with Shelagh Mannion (played by Laura Main) after becoming a widower at a young age. The couple are now happily raising four children. However, Dr. Turner's journey hasn't been without its challenges. It was revealed that he suffered a mental breakdown in 1945, resulting in a five-month stay in a psychiatric hospital.
As the BBC drama makes its comeback, let's delve into Stephen's life off-screen as he once again brings one of television's most cherished doctors to life for another riveting season of Call the Midwife. Call the Midwife is based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth, painting a vivid picture of the heartrending and joyful stories of midwives and families in London's East End.
The BBC period drama was crafted by Heidi Thomas, who has been bringing the poignant and heartwarming stories of the nuns and nurses residing at the east end convent to life since 2012. The 62-year-old writer has skillfully woven the tales of Poplar's most impoverished residents during the early days of the NHS.
