Call The Midwife fans ‘heartbroken’ as beloved character leaves show – sobbing ‘not another one!’

CALL The Midwife fans have been left "heartbroken' after another character left the show for good.

The hit BBC period medical drama continued last night with its seventh episode.

Viewers watched as Trixie Aylward's anticipated happy ending didn't go to plan.

Her husband Matthew, played by Olly Rix, was left embarrassed as his financial situation was laid bare for her.

After Matthew's car was repossessed outside Nonnatus House, Trixie - played by Helen George - tried to accept their situation and attempted to live on a budget.

But Matthew made it clear he wouldn't live a modest lifestyle and announced the family would move to New York.

He explained he was going to pursue a business opportunity there with a friend.

However, Trixie refused to leave Poplar and Nonnatus House in tense scenes.

She heartbreakingly was forced to say goodbye to her husband and stepson Jonty as they set off for the US.

As Olly bows out of his character after three years, Call The Midwife fans at home have been left devastated.

Taking to social media, one viewer said: "I'm not prepared for the end of Matthew and Trixie #CallTheMidwife."

A second wrote:  "They could of let Matthew and Trixie bow out happily but them turning Matthew into a t**t grinds me so much, she doesn’t deserve this just let my girl be HAPPY."

"Not Trixie crying... I was not prepared for this on a Sunday evening," said a third.

While a fourth commented: "Trixie and Matthew are so vexing this series. Going against almost everything in their character development for the last 3 seasons and is contradictory from one episode to the next #CallTheMidwife."

Call The Midwife airs Sundays from 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
