ACTORS

The series has lost the leading character actress Jessica Raine. It happened at the end of the third season. It turned out to be a real disaster for the series, cause Raine was evidently the star in the show. Her character was inspired by Jennifer Worth, who was a real midwife from the East End of London in the 50’s. Will there be any changes in the cast in the fifth season? Let’s see…

It was really tough losing the main character. It’s getting, even more, complex considering the fact that the voice of Vanessa Redgrave was used for Jenny Lee on the show. Jenny Lee used to narrate the events of the story. So it means, that the actors and the producers should pull their mental forces together before starting another episode of “Call the Midwife”.

Some new characters were added. They will be portrayed by Linda Bassett and Charlotte Ritchie (Phyllis Crane and Nurse Barbara Gilbert), This way the producers try to make up for the loss of Jessica Raine.

Vanessa Redgrave is still going to be the narrator in the show. Cause the viewers has already got accustomed to that.
