CALL the Midwife’s Helen George has revealed the fate of a fan-favourite character hangs in the balance.
A huge twist saw her marriage turned upside down on the BBC drama as Trixie had a huge decision to make.
On the show, her husband Matthew (Olly Rix) has taken the opportunity to move to New York City for business.
This was after he lost control of his late dad’s company in the last series of Call The Midwife because of increasing debts.
After a period of hesitation, she decided to go with her husband to the Big Apple.
Her character is now splitting time between London and the American city after she took on an executive role in Poplar.
This was in an attempt to save Nonnatus House as the Board of Health wanted to shut it down.
She informed Sister Julienne that the pair do plan on returning to England, however the actress has no idea what the future holds for the couple.
Speaking to Radio Times at its Covers party, she was asked about what will happen with her character’s marriage.
However, it seems that Helen has no idea if Matthew will ever come back to Poplar.
Helen commented: “Who knows!”
“It’ll be interesting to see what happens there. At the moment, I don’t know, and I’m excited to find out what happens.”

However, it remains to be seen whether fans will ever see Trixie and Matthew on-screen together again.
Meaning that question marks remain over their marriage on the BBC One period show.
The fourteenth series of the show has proven to be particularly dramatic for a number of characters.
The midwives welcomed Sister Catherine (Molly Vevers) into the ranks of Nonnatus House, but she has a tragic backstory.
This is as Nancy (Megan Cusack) left her job to become closer to her betrothed partner Roger (Conor O’Donnell).
There was also a potential romance blossoming between Rosalind (Natalie Quarry) and Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) before he traveled to Jamaica to see his estranged wife Lucille.
This comes after Matthew failed to return for the highly-publicised Christmas specials.
Trixie mentioned Matthew in the plot as she planned to return to the Big Apple after Christmas in the special.
However, it looked like fans would not see the handsome character on their screens any time soon.
Fourteen series of Call The Midwife are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
