Before YouNetflix, Charlotte Ritchie's standout performance was in the heartwarming period drama 'Call the Midwife.'
Charlotte Ritchie has become a familiar face on our TV screens in recent years, especially for her roles in comedy dramas such as Ghosts. She is back in the limelight this month with her mysterious new role in the much anticipated fourth season of the hit thriller You. But her best and most memorable performance was arguably in a very different TV show, when she played Nurse Barbara Gilbert in the BBC period drama, Call the Midwife.
Barbara relocates to the London suburb of Poplar from Liverpool, where she grew up helping her local community through her father’s work as a clergyman. Ritchie’s heartfelt performance as Barbara resonated with audiences from her very first appearance, and she quickly cemented herself as a fan-favorite. Barbara navigates the social injustices and medical dilemmas of her profession with a light-hearted kindness, where she quickly fits in with the established cast.
In Season 5, Ritchie’s character begins a new arc that furthered her popular appeal and her essential role in the show. She embarks on a romantic relationship with local curate Tom Hereward, played by Jack Ashton. Tom was the previous love interest and ex-fiancé of her colleague Trixie . This caused some animosity towards Barbara and Ritchie, where some of the show’s characters, as well as the viewers, resented their new relationship.
Ritchie Has a Lasting Legacy on the Show Call the Midwife tells the story of individual career journeys and challenges, but it also depicts the close-knit relationship between the midwifes, nursing staff and nuns, most of which live under one roof. As such, Barbara’s death had a huge, long-running impact on the continuing characters, where Ritchie’s legacy continues even in the show’s present season.
