Call the Midwife star Helen George has revealed her "genuine fear" about her future on the BBC period drama.
The actress, who has played Trixie Franklin on the show since it first premiered back in 2012, expressed her worries about being written out of the show, admitting "you never know" what might happen.
During a recent live Q&A with RadioTimes.com, the mum-of-two said: "You never have complete control. Absolutely, it's a genuine fear. You never know.
"And they might just come to a point where they think, 'Do you know what, we've got nothing more to say about your character. There's nothing left to do with you. So you're off.' It happens."
