CALL the Midwife fans have been left fearing for show star after ‘disappearing’ from the new series.
The beloved period drama returned earlier this month for its 14th season with new storylines – and of course babies.

But as viewers got caught up on the latest from Nonnatus House, they noticed one character is missing.
Timothy Turner was last seen as he departed Popular for medical school in 2021.
He briefly returned to screens in 2023 for the show’s Christmas special but hasn’t been back since.
Flooding social media with comments, worried fans begged for an update on Timothy, who is played by Max Macmillan.
One asked: “Not to worry anyone but where’s Timothy Turner? #callthemidwife.”
A second posted: “Where is Timothy Turner? I can’t even remember if he disappeared somewhere in the previous series or if something happened to him.”
“What’s happened to Timothy Turner? He wasn’t in the Xmas special and not in the new series so far,” said a third.
While a fourth wrote: “And that’s it for this week-See you same time next week for Episode 4 and a new arrival (although if Nancy, Timothy and Cyril can hurry back before this series ends that would be great) #CallTheMidwife.”
Timothy has been a part of Call the Midwife since series two, and viewers have seen him grow from a boy into a young man.
Meanwhile, show boss Heidi Thomas recently revealed the future of the hit after 14 years on screens.
Despite pulling in millions of viewers for the Beeb, Heidi revealed fans constantly assume the show will eventually have to end.
However, she reckons Call the Midwife can continue to run and run.

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.
