Has Call the Midwife's Helen George left following Trixie's decision?
In the season 13 finale, she decided to follow Matthew to New York - but is Trixie really going?
Trixie had a big decision to make in the Call the Midwife season 13 finale: stay in Poplar, where she's built a life for herself, but without Matthew by her side, or follow him to New York?
Her husband had decided to move to the 'Big Apple' in the hope of reviving his dwindling business prospects – a conclusion he'd reached without first consulting with her.
"Oh, you've decided that independently, have you?" said Trixie. "Act now and tell the little woman later."
Matthew initially said he would remain there for three to four months, but if his partnership with Chester takes off, it's likely the move will become permanent, leaving Trixie's future uncertain.
With encouragement from her brother Geoffrey, she eventually decided to follow her heart and go to Matthew, but is this the last we've seen of Helen George's character?
RadioTimes.com understands that the actor isn't leaving Call the Midwife at the end of season 13 – so we should see Trixie back on our screens in season 14, unless she's absent for a few episodes, or even the entire season, so that she can support her husband.
But it remains to be seen what the future holds for Trixie and Matthew's marriage.
RadioTimes.com understands that the door has been left open for Olly Rix to return in the future, and in the finale he changed his stance slightly, telling Trixie that New York's not "forever".

But that's not a guarantee that he will reprise his role, or that Trixie and Matthew will continue as we all thought they would after tying the knot at the end of season 12.
There's also a possibility that Mathew will need to stay in New York for business reasons, which could see Trixie feature for one or two more seasons before leaving for good.
Trixie might also change her mind completely and decide to stay put, ditching her plan to head to America.
With numerous unanswered questions, season 14 cannot arrive quickly enough.
