“Helen George of Call the Midwife reveals her experience of experiencing ‘genuine fear'”

Fans of Call the Midwife will likely not be able to imagine the show without Trixie, one of the only characters who has been in the hit period drama since the very start.

However, speaking during a recent live Q&A with RadioTimes.com’s Abby Robinson, Trixie star Helen George revealed that she does have a “genuine fear” of being written out of the show, saying “you never know” what might happen.

George said: “You never have complete control. Absolutely, it’s a genuine fear. You never know. And they might just come to a point where they think, ‘Do you know what, we’ve got nothing more to say about your character. There’s nothing left to do with you. So you’re off.’ It happens.”
