A beloved actor from Call the Midwife is making a comeback to the popular BBC series after an eight-year absence. Chris Harper, known for his role as Trixie Franklin's brother Geoffrey, has confirmed his return to the show, delighting fans with his appearance in the 2024 Christmas special and hinting at a continued presence in the current series.
Harper, who recently portrayed the villainous Nathan Curtis in Coronation Street, expressed his excitement for reprising his role as Geoffrey, a character vastly different from his previous on-screen persona. Speaking to The Sun, Harper stated, 'I'm hoping very soon Geoffrey from Call the Midwife will be making his return to Poplar. The series that's on telly at the moment, I will be appearing again at the back end of. Which I absolutely love doing. They talk about a family atmosphere. That's the cast and crew of Call the Midwife. It's just a joy to be part of. And I love playing that character because he's such a fixer. He's a lovely guy, but he also comes in and helps people. So he's the absolute polar opposite of Nathan.'He further explained the positive impact of portraying Geoffrey, stating, 'He's a completely different character. And when I get spotted in the street, I definitely inherited niceness. There are people who know that Geoffrey from Call the Midwife is lovely, so I think they just assume I am. And so I benefit from that. Nobody's ever met me on the street and assumed I'm like Nathan.' Meanwhile, Call the Midwife fans anticipate another heartwarming episode on BBC One on Sunday, February 9, returning to 1960s Poplar. However, a short break follows this episode due to the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday, February 16, shifting the next installment (episode 7) to the following Sunday, February 23, at 8pm, as reported by the Manchester Evening News.
