Call the Midwife fans break down in tears after emotional death | The Sun

CALL the Midwife fans broke down in tears after the show aired an emotional death.

The BBC One period drama aired its latest episode on Sunday night.

Viewers watched as barrister and widower Matthew Aylward had a surprise visit from his father, Sir Brigham Aylward.

But relations between the pair were frosty as Matthew's father is less than impressed that his son is living in Poplar in East London.

Matthew revealed he wanted to invest more money in the borough, whereas Sir Brigham wanted to sell up.

But while relations were at an all time low, Trixie was left to deliver tragic news to Matthew.

The midwife told him that his father had died after finding him collapsed and unresponsive on the bathroom floor.

As they both sat in the church, she told Matthew: "Possibly an embolism.

"I would've moved heaven and earth to save him if I could."

"So would I," said Matthew, fighting back tears.

The emotional scenes left viewers at home in tears, as one said: "Poor Matthew thank god he has Trixie."

Another posted: "The pain of losing a parent is perhaps only surpassed by the agony of losing a child."

"Darling Matthew did not deserve that," said a third.

While a fourth commented: "Heartbreaking poor Matthew he's had enough loss."

Call the Midwife airs Sunday nights from 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
