Call the Midwife falls victim to schedule shake up as BBC drama is taken off air mid-series after weeks of soap chaos

CALL The Midwife fans will be left disappointed if they were planning to tune in this Sunday, as the drama has been moved off the BBC schedule.

Call the Midwife, which typically airs on a Sunday evening on BBC One, will be moved for a couple of weeks meaning viewers will need to wait a few weeks to catch up.

The BAFTAs will see the show move on Sunday 16th February and leave fans waiting to watch the penultimate episode.

This happened last year too, with the season 13 finale moved out too.

Fans can still watch the midwives in Poplar this week, with the drama set to show Joyce facing a difficult situation when a mother suffers postnatal complications, while a council strike leads to an outbreak of Weil’s disease, and Cyril finds his life turned upside down.

Whilst viewing is interrupted in a few weeks, Call the Midwife will return on Sunday 23rd February at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

This series has already proved a popular hit with viewers, yet fans have been left fearing for show star after ‘disappearing’ from the new series.

Timothy Turner was last seen as he departed Popular for medical school in 2021.

He briefly returned to screens in 2023 for the show’s Christmas special but hasn’t been back since.

Timothy has been a part of Call the Midwife since series two, and viewers have seen him grow from a boy into a young man.

Show boss Heidi Thomas recently revealed the future of the hit after 14 years on screens.

Despite pulling in millions of viewers for the Beeb, Heidi revealed fans constantly assume the show will eventually have to end. However, she reckons Call the Midwife can continue to run and run.

It’s not just the BBC that’s shaking up its schedule either as ITV has also made changes to its typical schedule, with Coronation Street bumped off air for coverage of the Six Nations Championship.

In a further shakeup, Friday’s episode has been axed again as ITV dedicate almost three hours of their schedule to the FA Cup.

Call The Midwife: A breakdown

Call The Midwife first came onto the airwaves in 2012 and has been seen by millions. But what is it about?

Series one: Set in early 1957 and it explored the ‘Baby Boom generation, which included themes of poverty and post-war immigration.

Series two: Set in 1958 and it showed gas and air being introduced for pain relief for the first time. It ended with the Nonnatus House building being condemned.

Series three: Set in 1959 and it depicted gruesome conditions such as cystic fibrosis, polio and it showed the midwives in the context on prisons.

Series four: Set in 1960 under the threat of nuclear warfare and the emergency response guidelines issued by the local Civil Defence Corp. Other themes included LGBT rights, and syphilis.

Series five: Set in 1961 and it shows the care of patients with conditions such as Typhoid and strokes. We also saw the effects of thalidomide, the introduction of the contraceptive pill.

Series six: Set in 1962 and domestic violence was at the centre of the season. Other themes included FGM (female genital mutilation), mental health issues and interracial marriage. It was also notable for the introduction of Reggie, a recurring character with Down Syndrome.

Series seven: Set in 1963 and we see Nurse Lucille Anderson for the first time. We also see the show address conditions such as dementia, huntington’s disease, leprosy and meningitis

Series eight: Set in 1964 and it bravely covered the issue of abortion, which was not legal for another three years in 1967. Sickle cell disease, cleft lip, cleft palate and intersex people also featured.

Series nine: Diptheria was at the centre of the ninth instalment in 1965, and it was notable for featuring a blind expectant mother. But the role of Nonnatus House within the community also came into question.

Series ten: Set in 1966, Nonnatus House has a rival in the form of the private Lady Emily Clinic in Mayfair. PKU, diabetes and the controversy surrounding abortion were central themes.

Series eleven: Set in 1967 amid the housing crisis and a scabies epidemic. The show was rocked by a train crash right next to Nonnatus House.

Inside Corrie’s crisis that could see YOUR favourites ‘quit before they’re axed’ and legends ‘begging for more scenes’

THE ongoing Coronation Street crisis has reached tipping point after ITV dramatically slashed its schedule.

Some of the nation’s best loved stars are poised to quit the Cobbles before they are axed amid the changes, which have sparked chaos behind the scenes and left them questioning the bosses loyalty.

Yesterday The Sun told how Corrie bosses have reduced the show from six episodes per week, to just five 30-minute episodes.

As many as 75 people will lose their jobs across both Coronation Street and Emmerdale, which is also struggling amid the budget issues – and it seems even the biggest names aren’t immune from the soap’s cash crisis.

Insiders tell us that the stars have known for a while that changes were coming, but it’s left many feeling disgruntled and concerned about their future on the flailing soap.

A TV source said:  “Rumours of a schedule change had been rumbling for a while so it wasn’t a huge surprise to the cast but now the news is out there it is starting to feel very real. Some of the cast have gone into panic mode and are really considering their futures.

“They are thinking of leaving before there axed to save them the embarrassment.”

The cast are said to be increasingly divided in how they are reacting to the news, but it’s fair to say no one feels completely safe.

Loyalty questions

It’s thought that what happened to Colson Smith really did send shockwaves through the cast.

The insider continued: “Some of the older cast think that their jobs save but they are being warned by their co-stars not to get too comfortable.

“It hasn’t gone unnoticed that fan favourites and long standing cast members, some who  have been there 30/40 years, have been axed. There is a real feeling that ITV has no loyalty towards them.

“It’s been a tricky few months and this has only made it harder. The year long wait is driving everyone mad too – they would rather changes start happening asap.”

To make matters worse, even some of the soaps most iconic stars are unhappy.

Corrie stars get a fee per episode, which is thought to range from £400 to £2,000 and show legend Barbara Knox is said to have asked for some more scenes.

“There are whisperings that Barbara is really not happy with the air time she is getting. She keeps asking for more scenes but isn’t being included,” they said.

“It’s a real shock to her and others that no one has any power anymore and there really is no extra cash to made. People wouldn’t be surprised if she quits while she ahead.”

Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025

ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.

This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.

Colson Smith – Craig Tinker

The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig’s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.

Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw

After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.

Luca Toolan – Mason Radcliffe

Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.

Sue Devaney – Debbie Webster

In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline.

Charlotte Jordan – Daisy Midgeley

The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.

Shelley King – Yasmeen Metcalfe

The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.

Colson Smith has been making extra cash doing tours but has now been axed

The actress – who plays Rita Tanner in the ITV soap – first appeared on the cobbles in December 1964 as Rita in just one episode before being brought back full-time in 1972.

Barbara is second only to Ken Barlow actor Bill Roache, 91, in the age stakes on the ITV soap.

The star has not had a proper storyline for some time and only occasionally pops up on screen.

Cash needed

In the past she would have been seen in the Rovers Return, but bosses have barred the cast from being in the background in a bid to cut costs.

Because the stars are due a per-episode fee, which can mount up for actors on lucrative deals, they are no longer being used.

Only a few years ago you would see all the community in the pub – even if they didn’t speak.

Younger cast members have started holding set tours on their days off to try and make more cash.

The schedule change announcement comes after a string of Corrie stars — Helen North, Charlotte Jordan, Sue Cleaver, Sue Devaney, Colson Smith, and Luca Toolan — have announced they are leaving or being written out since November 2024.

Actor Seamus McGoff has also seemingly confirmed that he has left the soap, amid the ongoing cast exodus.

Insiders said rising costs and falling advertising revenue has piled on pressure.

Cobbles boss Kate Brooks warned last month she is set to axe characters including “some unexpected ones that will send shockwaves”.
