In 2014, the BBC and PBS period drama Call the Midwife lost one of its most treasured characters, Jenny Lee. Following an emotional Season 3 finale, actor Jessica Raine’s beloved protagonist left her job as a midwife in London to pursue a career in a Marie Curie cancer hospice. Raine’s departure devastated many of the show’s fans, who weren’t ready to see Jenny’s arc come to a close.Since the memoirs of Jennifer Worth (née Lee) inspired the television series in the first place, it was difficult to imagine the show going on without Raine’s interpretation of her. Despite the integral role she played in the series inspiration, the popular BBC period drama has continued to roll through the 1960s, having wrapped its 12th season in February 2023. On top of that, it was recently confirmed on the official Call the Midwife Instagram that the cast is currently filming their annual Christmas special and Season 13. So, why did Jessica Raine leave Call the Midwife, and where is she now?Debuting in Call the Midwife’s early seasons, Jenny Lee was based on nurse and midwife Jennifer Worth. Jennifer recounted her work during the 1950s in London’s impoverished East End in a series of memoirs: Call the Midwife, Shadows of the Workhouse and Farewell to The East End. A somewhat naïve young nurse from a sheltered upbringing, Jennifer “Jenny” took a job at Nonnatus House. She didn’t fully realize at the time the nature and work of the Nuns of the Order of St. Raymond Nonnatus or the levels of poverty in the East End.
