A new drama series featuring a former star of Call the Midwife is coming soon to BBC Three – and it sounds brilliant. The new series, called Domino Day, has a glittering cast and has been created by the same team behind the BAFTA-nominated show, The Responder.
One actress in the cast is Alisha Bailey whom viewers may remember for her role in the midwifery drama. Alisha made her appearance in season seven of Call the Midwife in which he played the part of Alecia Palmer.
Take a look at the video below to see Alisha in action...

"But she doesn't need to look far, as a coven of witches is already tracking her every move, convinced they have to stop her before her powers destroy everyone and everything around her."
When Alisha appeared in Call the Midwife, her character Alecia and Leonie Elliott character's Nurse Lucille Anderson bonded over their connections to Jamaica.
Fans will know that, more recently, Lucille returned to Jamaica to take a job on a maternity ward but it's since been announced that she won't be back for future episodes.
