Call the Midwife season 14 episode 4 cast as The Office and Wicked stars join series
Call the Midwife has returned to BBC One, and fans were thrilled to catch a glimpse of a new midwife in last week's teaser. In the next episode, Sister Catherine will be joining the team at Nonnatus House as she embarks on her training journey.
Under the watchful eye of Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett), Sister Catherine is plunged into a challenging case. Meanwhile, Dr Turner (Stephen McGann) is taken aback when a mother-of-seven requests an abortion.
He also finds himself disheartened by the lack of enthusiasm for the measles vaccination clinic. All main cast members will be back, except for Cyril Robinson (Zephryn Taitte), who has travelled to Jamaica to visit Lucille (Leonie Elliott).
