Patsy (played by Emerald Fennell) left Nonnatus House to go and visit her dying father in Hong Kong with no fixed return date.
Last week’s opener saw Sister Mary Cynthia (Bryony Hannah) take some time out from her midwifery duties to get treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Meanwhile, Nurse Trixie (Helen George) has been absent for the entire sixth season, having extended her trip abroad.
Those watching at home were upset that yet another cast member was leaving.
