One of the show's spokesperson claimed that they are often sad whenever some of their actors decide to quit and move on to other projects. But it also means that the door is open to add new characters in the show.
"As a large ensemble family, comings and goings are part of life in Call the Midwife and we wish Emerald, Kate and Bryony all the luck for their next projects," the spokesperson said. "Our core team are still very much at the heart of series seven and viewers have already taken newer cast members like Nurse Crane and Valerie into their hearts."
The spokesperson also mentioned that they are very excited to introduce the show's latest midwife named Lucille Anderson, portrayed by "Black Mirror" actress Leonie Elliott. She will reportedly serve as the very first West Indian midwife in the show.
"She's going to bring stories with her, and a different cultural point of view, and that's very exciting... casting is currently underway, and we look forward to introducing Lucille to our ten million fans very soon," series creator Heidi Thomas said in an interview with series creator Heidi Thomas during the Radio Times & BFI Television Festival back in June.
BBC1 has yet to announce the premiere date of "Call the Midwife" season 7.
