Radio Times: Call the Midwife's Leonie Elliott thanks fans after Lucille's emotional exit

Elliott reacted to the emotional scenes aired in season 12 episode 2.

By James Hibbs | Published: Monday, 9th January 2023 at 11:18 am

Leonie Elliott, star of BBC drama Call the Midwife, has thanked fans following their response to her emotional storyline in season 12 episode 2, which saw Lucille leave Nonnatus House.

The episode saw Lucille seeking help from Dr Patrick Turner (Stephen McGann) after she had been driven to emotional breaking point. He told her that she was in the midst of a nervous breakdown and that she should rest.

Following this, her husband Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) bought her a plane ticket to Jamaica, where she has gone to visit family for a currently undetermined amount of time.

Taking to Twitter after the episode's emotional scenes had aired, Elliott said: "This season was incredibly difficult to film. Thank you for all your kind words. It's my hope for people watching that if they can see the good in her, maybe they can extend that to people in real life."

She continued: "I care about her deeply. Many share her story of miscarriage and depression, and many share her experience of abuse, racial or otherwise. Many of us face mental health challenges, I hope we can continue to love one another, support and listen to each other. Look after yourselves and each other."

This season has seen Lucille struggle not only with a miscarriage, but also the hostile environment created by the likes of Enoch Powell, as the drama tackled his chilling Rivers of Blood speech.

Elliott has been a part of the show's cast since 2018, when Lucille joined the staff at Nonnatus House in season 7. It has not currently been revealed how long she will be absent from the show, or whether this marks her character's exit for the foreseeable future.

Leonie Elliott and Zephryn Taitte in Call the Midwife (2012) S12E2

It is May 1968, and the Nonnatus team are faced with challenging cases, one of which is much closer to home as Lucille struggles with her own health. At a coffee morning for expectant mothers, Sister Julienne meets heavily pregnant Lilian Reynolds, who is expecting her first child. However, after Lilian experiences some breast discomfort, she receives a devastating diagnosis.

*Sister Monica Joan says that she came to see the Maypole dance, not the Battle of Agincourt. The Battle of Agincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War. It took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) near Azincourt, in northern France.

I’m curious. Did you end up watching S12 of Call the Midwife? I enjoyed your thoughts last year. I also totally understand if you didn’t watch it.

I did! A few thoughts...

I'm really sad about the way Lucille's exit was handled, especially when I think about Cyril. Perhaps it couldn't be helped, if Leonie Elliott wasn't sure whether or not she'd be coming back - but in universe, it seems really out of character for Lucille to just leave Cyril behind like that.

I did appreciate the storyline about Lucille's mental health problems, though - especially the scene where she stood by the side of the road. I'm doing fine nowadays, but I've had a few moments like that in the past and it felt very true to life.

Trixie and Matthew... I could never marry a landlord, but I expect they'll be fine. And that's about all I have to say on that.

Actually, one more thing - I know the Board of Health guy was meant to be the big villain of the series, but maybe he has a point that essential public services should not be funded by private philanthropy? And maybe also that it's weird for Nonnatus House to have so much autonomy and so little oversight from the council? Things have to change sometime, after all.

Reggie and Cyril being friends and looking out for one another, e.g. when Reggie had his health scare in episode 4, is lovely to see. Especially if it gives Reggie some space to have his own storylines away from Fred and Violet.

Idk how the writers are going to come up with more seasons of this show once we get to the point where hospital births are the norm, but it's the BBC, so I'm sure it will get renewed over and over (and over) again until Nonnatus House literally crumbles to dust.

As ever, I could do with about half the number of Turner family scenes. They're just not that interesting to me! I seem to be in the minority, though - I read a discussion thread about the new characters who are arriving in the next series, and one person said they were worried that there would be too much focus on the new people and not enough on the Turners. My concerns are... pretty much the opposite. No matter who else joins the cast, we are still going to see more than enough of Stephen McGann and his two (2) facial expressions, and the other Turners as well.

Take Wyatt Earp as a biopic and it is a superb and fair film. Compare it to Tombstone which was more of a Western and it’s lacking the flair. However, it ends abruptly, and it is miscast. Cosner (and i am a fan) doesn’t really make a good Earp. Dennis Quaid who I am also a fan of, doesn’t make a good Doc. This was 1994, in the 80s I might have a dif...

Where was Sr Julienne?

This is the first episode I can think of that I didn’t see Sr Julienne.  I saw Jenny Agutter’s name in the title sequence,  Whenever Helen George was out on maternity leave, she was omitted from the credits.  Leonie Elliott was not in the credits this week.  Do Jenny Agutter, Judy Parfitt and Linda Bassett have different contracts?

Radio Times: Is Call the Midwife's Lucille leaving for good?

[Mod note: Short answer - they don’t know]

The rest of the article:

This article contains discussion of themes including mental health [mod note: suicidal ideation] that some readers may find upsetting.

All of the Call the Midwife characters have faced challenges across the BBC drama's 11-year run, and in the show's latest chapter, it's Lucille's troubles which are taking centre stage.

As her nearest and noticed have observed, she is far from herself, with her usual chipper demeanour nowhere to be found. Her work, which once fulfilled her, has since become a burden she is unable to manage.

"She is going further and further downhill," says Nurse Crane to Mrs Wallace.

And when she's not on duty, she spends her time curled up in bed, the curtains drawn, unable to see through the fog that has settled over every aspect of her life.

Between Lucille and Cyril's inability to fall pregnant, her longing to see her family in Jamaica and the hostile environment created by the likes of Enoch Powell, Lucille is driven to breaking point. She takes herself for a walk and for a moment, she stands on the edge of the pavement, gazing mournfully into the oncoming traffic as she considers hurling herself into the road.

It's a harrowing moment, which prompts her to seek help from Dr Patrick Turner. He weighs up her symptoms and informs her that she's in the midst of a nervous breakdown, the best treatment for which is rest – and that's exactly what she plans to do.

But Lucille won't be taking it easy in Poplar. She's heading to Jamaica, thanks to Cyril, who dipped into their savings to purchase a plane ticket. Her eyes light up as he tells her the news, a rare smile descending across her face as she gently caresses her husband's cheek in gratitude.

But naturally, there will be some viewers who are left wondering: will Lucille return to London?

There's every chance that she'll be back in a fews weeks' or months' time with a renewed outlook on life. A change of scenery is exactly what the doctor ordered and while the road to recovery will take time, Lucille is heading in the right direction. But there's also a possibility that she'll choose to stay, unwilling to say goodbye to her sister and the rest of her loved ones again.

She has made the English capital her home, establishing herself as a core member of the Nonnatus House team and gaining a second family who love and value her. England is also where Cyril sees his future and their relationship, even under strain, is one of the most touching elements of the show.

But her heart remains in the Caribbean and the pain Lucille feels from being apart from her sister, in particular, is proving too much to bear, casting doubt on her future.
