Sunday night saw the penultimate episode of the BBC period drama as series 12 of Call The Midwife is coming to an end. Although the instalment took a dramatic turn when the beloved character Sister Monica Joan (played by Judy Parfitt) fell ill.

During the episode, viewers saw the long-running character, who has been in the series since the start in 2012, take a turn for the worst.

After losing her appetite, Sister Monica Joan confessed she felt weak as she missed attending night prayer.

Later on in the show, Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) and Nurse Phyllis (Linda Bassett) saw her in bed as they noticed her eyes were looking yellow and decided to call the doctor.

In bed looking extremely weak, Sister Monica begged the two ladies to let her go home as she told them she no longer wanted to be there.

With Dr Patrick Turner (Stephen McGann) paying her a visit, viewers learnt that the nun was the latest person in the district to contract hepatitis.

Telling them to keep her hydrated, Dr Turner commented: “Other than that, I’m afraid we just have to hope she can fight the infection off.

“I won’t pretend her age isn’t a concern.”

In distressing scenes, Sister Monica was seen sobbing explaining she no longer wanted to be here before her friend Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) went to see her.

With Sister Monica’s life in the balance, many viewers took to Twitter to share their heartbreak at the potential loss of the long-running character.
