The Call The Midwife finale had viewers 'in tears' with its emotional storyline, prompting an outpouring of praise from fans impressed by the heartwarming season finale.

In last night's episode of Call The Midwife (which aired Sunday, 2nd March 2025), we saw Nurse Nancy Corrigan (played by Megan Cusack) return to the BBC drama.

In an emotional rollercoaster of an episode, Nancy's pregnancy is revealed before the nurse enters early labour, with Roger Noble (played by Conor O'Donnell) by her side.

Later, the two marry, surrounded by family and friends in an unexpected and heartwarming twist.

Fans were quick to comment on social media on the emotional scenes, praising the 'perfect end' to the season.

'There's no doubt that @CallTheMidwife1 remains to this day the BEST programme ever! Filled with emotions & love. A perfect end to a fantastic series! Massive shout-out to everyone involved,' wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
