The characters who died were Lionel Corbett (Marc Elliott) and Dorothy Carnie (Stephanie Jacob).

“Far too much for a Sunday evening,” one fan wrote, with another adding: “I can’t handle this.”

“That was the most stressful episode of Call the Midwife,” another viewer concluded, with one stating: “Most stressful hour of my life.”
