It's Christmas time in Poplar in 1969 when Call the Midwife returns for the annual Christmas special — and this year, we've got a double helping! The nuns and medical staff of Nonnatus House are preparing for the holiday season while also helping out the hospital, which

It's another week of Call the Midwife Season 13, and I am back with another rant about Matthew (Olly Rix). Every time he has the opportunity to redeem himself, he chooses to be self-centered or arrogant, or in this case, both. He finally clued Trixie (Helen George) into
