Call The Midwife’s 2023 Christmas Special begins two weeks before Christmas, with Apollo 8 poised to circle the moon.
Sister Monica Joan (Judy Parfitt) is convinced this could be her final Yuletide and decides she’ll not live to see man walk on the moon. The Nonnatus Family, including Trixie’s (Helen George) brother Geoffrey (Christopher Harper), decide something must be done to try and lighten her state of mind. Nancy (Megan Cusack) has recommitted to staying at Nonnatus House and Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) has offered her and Colette (Francesca Fullilove) a room for the foreseeable future. Trixie and Matthew (Olly Rix), fresh from their honeymoon, are preparing their first Christmas together as husband and wife when Geoffrey pays them an unexpected visit days before Christmas. Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) gently intervenes when he discovers a lost soul living alone in a dilapidated basement flat. For this man, Christmas is a reminder of all he’s lost and all he’s never had. Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett), away on her refresher course, makes it home in time for Christmas festivities despite a treacherously heavy snowfall.
Call The Midwife (1x90) is a Neal Street Productions for BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Executive producers for Neal Street Productions are Pippa Harris, Heidi Thomas and Ann Tricklebank, with Gaynor Holmes for the BBC.

Soooo.....as I promised...here we go with next story that will make you travel through time to discover what the future has in store for our favorite family.
Let’s start with Chapter 1, set in 1970 (they will be not necessarily in a chronological order...).

I drew @bixels ‘ character Ashley Tang from KO Crisis. It was fun but maybe if I wasn’t so groggy, I would’ve planned out the colors and that arm better!
i don't think she's going to die. i've seen a couple of people panicking about that, but i honestly don't think so. the fact that she HAS a future to call into question, suggests that she survives, but the incident is still enough to cause a lot of distress and uncertainty.
here's some pics from on set -
patrick doesn't seem to have noticed anything. phyllis looks concerned. shelagh looks absolutely distraught. they're running towards something. i think this is when the incident takes place.
in a scene that looks like it's from before, may and angela are in the background with an inflatable. i think this can give us a clue about what happens to may.
i predict that may gets into some sort of trouble in the water, but is ultimately rescued. given her future with the turners is called into question, it could be severe enough to land her a trip to a&e. and if a child in the care system has to attend hospital/engage with emergency services, social services are automatically informed immediately.
remember back in season 9 or so, when may hurt her foot playing and shelagh was "over reacting" about it? this is the reality for a lot of foster and adoptive parents - every tiny injury and incident is brutally scrutinised, and even minor things can lead to another placement being found for the child.
as a formee foster kid/adoptee myself, i'm really aware of this. in my final placement (adopted by a family member) social workers were watching my guardian like a hawk for a couple of years. she was questioned about everyone who had contact with me, anyone who was staying in the home or even visiting had to have extensive police background checks, all of my doctor visits and hospital appointments were endlessly scrutinized.
in conclusion - i think shelagh and patrick are about to be investigated by social services, which will possibly involve cyril too, because of his new job.
