Despite her hectic schedule, the 40-year-old actress recently took a break from filming to enjoy some well-deserved time off, which she shared with her fans on Instagram.
After the season 13 finale of Call The Midwife left fans wondering about the fate of Trixie Franklin, it was revealed that Helen George had been filming scenes for the upcoming 14th season.

Helen’s return to the set was further confirmed by photos posted by the show’s official Instagram account, showing her alongside her co-stars Jenny Agutter and Megan Cusack.
While Helen George is set to make a comeback as Nurse Trixie Franklin, her on-screen husband, Matthew (played by Olly Rix), has not been spotted on set.
