The BBC show’s finale showed the aftermath of the train crash that occurred in the penultimate episode.
Having endured a week of concern, fans were happy to discover that Nurse Nancy Corrigan (Megan Cusack), Dr Turner (Stephen McGann) and Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) all made it out of the episode alive.
The characters who died were Lionel Corbett (Marc Elliott) and Dorothy Carnie (Stephanie Jacob).
Until they found out that all their favourite characters survived, viewer joked that they were unable to take the stress in a tongue-in-cheek manner on social media.
“Far too much for a Sunday evening,” one fan wrote, with another adding: “I can’t handle this.”
“That was the most stressful episode of Call the Midwife,” another viewer concluded, with one stating: “Most stressful hour of my life.”
Despite feeling stressed by the events, the show’s longtime fans heaped praise upon the finale, which ultimately ended in a happy fashion.
After the episode concluded, the show’s official Twitter account told fans the series would be back for a 12th series in 2023 as well as a Christmas special later this year.
