The latest episode of Call the Midwife delves into Cyril and Lucille’s marriage as a love triangle unfolds, stirring emotions among fans.
Poplar: In the latest episode of Call the Midwife, viewers saw a touching moment with Rosalind Clifford, played by Natalie Quarry. She’s a new midwife who’s starting to develop feelings for Cyril Robinson, portrayed by Zephryn Taitte. They’ve been working together at a homeless shelter, and their bond has grown strong.
But things took a turn when Cyril decided to visit his wife, Lucille, in Jamaica. He got a letter from her that made him realize how much he missed her and wanted to work on their marriage. Rosalind, despite her feelings, was supportive and wished him well.
Lucille’s absence from the show was due to her prioritizing her mental health after a miscarriage. She left during season 12, dealing with depression and homesickness, especially with the anti-immigrant climate in Britain.
Leonie Elliott, who plays Lucille, shared her heartfelt goodbye on social media, expressing her love for the character and the importance of representing the Windrush generation.
While Cyril hoped Lucille would return, he came back to Poplar alone after his trip. It turned out Lucille was thriving in her new job and enjoying family time in Jamaica.
This has sparked chatter among fans about whether Cyril might leave the show to join her permanently. Some fans on Reddit think he might follow a storyline similar to Peter and Chummy, where he hangs around for a bit before disappearing to be with Lucille.
Others speculate that a romance could develop between Cyril and Rosalind, leading to a potential divorce. There’s definitely some chemistry there, and fans are curious about how this will unfold.
Call the Midwife airs on BBC One every Sunday at 8pm, so fans will have to stay tuned to see what happens next!
