Teasers and Spoilers
Despite his serious train accident, it seems that Dr. Turner will make a full recovery and visit a place with ‘lavish’ scenery! A picture of Stephen McGann, the actor who plays his role, along with co-star Ned Shaw was posted by Call the Midwife’s official Twitter page. It was captioned,
“Behind the scenes on #CallTheMidwife Series 12: Hello sunshine!”
The caption also contained the link to the series’ official Facebook post. It reads,
“Hello, all! Well, what beautiful weather we’ve been having! Our cast and crew have been basking in some unexpectedly fine days of filming for Series 12 – very welcome! As you know, we regularly feature the changing seasons each year by marking the traditional festivals in our drama. Christmas, Easter, Summer fetes, Autumn fireworks – each one marks another page in the story of our characters through time. This year is no different – and this week has featured a rather lavish outdoor event at Nonnatus House.”
The post further reads,
“So imagine how pleased we all were to be greeted by hot sunshine instead of rain!! Like most stalwart Brits, we keep going, whatever the weather – but we admit that being a little hot under the collar is far better for filming than feeling soggy and washed-out! Stephen McGann, who plays Dr. Turner, sent this lovely selfie of himself with young Ned Shaw, who plays his son Teddy.
But what are those two Turner boys up to? You’ll just have to wait and see!”
Additionally, one spectacular spoiler that will make fans happy is that Trixie will play an important part in the upcoming season! Her character growth will be a massive part of the story.
