‘Call the Midwife’ Premiere: Is Megan Cusack Leaving After Major Romantic Moment?

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Call the Midwife Season 14 Episode 1.]

Call the Midwife‘s Season 14 premiere furthered the romance between Megan Cusack‘s Nancy Corrigan and Conor O’Donnell‘s Roger Noble, a couple who got together in the 2024 Christmas special. While some fans weren’t very moved by this new pairing in December, the series clearly had serious plans for it.

Call the Midwife returned on Sunday, March 30, at 8/7c on PBS. It rang in a new decade in Poplar, and with the 1970s comes considerable social unrest. Citizens of the Isle of Dogs were protesting for their independence throughout the premiere episode, causing travel delays on the only bridge to and from the island. This threatened to make a high-risk birth even more dangerous as Nurse Rosalind Clifford (Natalie Quarry) and Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett) tried to get emergency services to a laboring mother on the island. She was at risk of death due to potential for uterine rupture following a C-section in her second pregnancy. A vaginal delivery in this third pregnancy posed serious risk to her health and the baby’s. Thankfully, the baby girl was delivered safely without the need for a C-section in the woman’s home.
