The post continued: “Nate is a much loved member of our Call the Midwoman family, so we’re delighted he was able to make a brief appearance in series 13 as a kid. But the best moment was when he and our Daniel Laurie, who plays Reggie, were reunited – as these stunning images show!”

Newcomers will join Nonnatus House as part of the midwifery student training program. Joyce, who hails from Trinidad, is set to become a nanny at a UK hospital and is described as “hardworking, intelligent and deeply kind” but has a “traumatic past she can’t hide forever”.
Meanwhile, Rosalind is “young, warm, passionate and witty.” Although she can seem innocent at times, she possesses “an iron heart that will lead her to make some life-changing decisions.”
