Megan recently addressed her future on the BBC show - as the character Nancy finally found love.
Although Nancy's priorities have always been her daughter and her work, the Christmas Special, showed her finally putting herself first after meeting charming Irishman, Roger (Conor O'Donnell).
Hesitant at first, Nancy later changed her mind, the spark between them evident to viewers.
By the end of the episode, Roger joined Nancy and the other members of Nonnatus House round the dinner table on Christmas Day.
Speaking to The Sun Online and other press ahead of series 14, Megan said: "No, just because she's fallen in love, she's not leaving us just yet.
"There's lots of things happening, she's got lots going on, you know, a job offer, an engagement, an overbearing mother-in-law to be.
"So she's got a lot going on."
Call The Midwife: A breakdown
Call The Midwife first came onto the airwaves in 2012 and has been seen by millions. But what is it about?
Series one: Set in early 1957 and it explored the 'Baby Boom generation, which included themes of poverty and post-war immigration.
Series two: Set in 1958 and it showed gas and air being introduced for pain relief for the first time. It ended with the Nonnatus House building being condemned.
Series three: Set in 1959 and it depicted gruesome conditions such as cystic fibrosis, polio and it showed the midwives in the context on prisons.
Series four: Set in 1960 under the threat of nuclear warfare and the emergency response guidelines issued by the local Civil Defence Corp. Other themes included LGBT rights, and syphilis.
Series five: Set in 1961 and it shows the care of patients with conditions such as Typhoid and strokes. We also saw the effects of thalidomide, the introduction of the contraceptive pill.
Series six: Set in 1962 and domestic violence was at the centre of the season. Other themes included FGM (female genital mutilation), mental health issues and interracial marriage. It was also notable for the introduction of Reggie, a recurring character with Down Syndrome.

Series eight: Set in 1964 and it bravely covered the issue of abortion, which was not legal for another three years in 1967. Sickle cell disease, cleft lip, cleft palate and intersex people also featured.
Series nine: Diptheria was at the centre of the ninth instalment in 1965, and it was notable for featuring a blind expectant mother. But the role of Nonnatus House within the community also came into question.
Series ten: Set in 1966, Nonnatus House has a rival in the form of the private Lady Emily Clinic in Mayfair. PKU, diabetes and the controversy surrounding abortion were central themes.
Series eleven: Set in 1967 amid the housing crisis and a scabies epidemic. The show was rocked by a train crash right next to Nonnatus House.
Elaborating on her character's new storyline, she said: "It was lovely. I never thought that Nancy would have a romance.
"I just didn't think it would ever come about. So that was lovely. And also to have Conor as Roger... Isn't he lovely? Isn't he just gorgeous?
