Call The Midwife's Georgie Glen on sad reason new plot reminds her of late mum
Call The Midwife star Georgie Glen has teased that a "huge secret" from her character's past will be revealed in the final episode of the latest series this weekend.
The 67-year-old actor - who plays medical secretary Millicent Higgins, known as Miss Higgins - has shared that something about the character comes to light in the next episode. It will be the finale of the BBC show's thirteenth series.
It's been teased that whatever happens will answer questions that viewers have had about the character's past. Georgie told outlets including the Express recently that it reminded her of her own mother. She said: "What's lovely about the character is she's not just two-dimensional, there is a whole person there with a past - and I often liken her to my mother, actually, who lived in that sort of age at that time.
"And the funny thing is, I remember her coming out with something about her past when I was in my 20s. My father had had a stroke and was in hospital, and it was that first night when you're all slightly electrified and you're waiting to hear what's happening, and you speak in a very unguarded way."

But that came back to me [when filming the scenes] because we are capable of burying things so deeply."

The revelations in Poplar are expected to begin when a "mysterious figure" arrives in the community looking for Miss Higgins, who is surprised to discover who they are. She's forced to confront a "secret" from her past and ends up confiding in her pal Phyllis Crane (played by Linda Bassett).
Linda, 74, said she had a great time filming such scenes, sharing: "I have a lovely story at the end of the series with Miss Higgins. We love doing stuff together Georgie and I because it's...old friends is not something you often see. We have a beautiful story. I love it."
The details of the storyline have yet to be revealed but the relevation is set to show Miss Higgins in a new light. It's been teased that it will help fans understand why the character is so empathetic towards others.
It's just one of the storylines that features in the last episode of the series. Fans will also finally see what happens to Joyce Hightower's (Renee Bailey) ex-husband. And it's going to be tough to watch as Trixie Aylward (Helen George) starts to use pills too much after her husband Matthew Aylward (Olly Rix) leaves.
