Call the Midwife season 9: Helen George details filming at haunted castle 'I saw a ghost!'


Call the Midwife is returning this Christmas for yet another one of its annual specials. While this upcoming Christmas special is taking place in a new locale, the most shocking part of it was apparently the apparitions that were on set during filming. Helen George, who plays Trixie Franklin, attended Sunday Brunch this morning – which was under the one-off name of Christmas Brunch.

And during her time on the show – between trying out various meals and cocktails – Helen spoke to hosts Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy about filming in a huge castle for the new episode.

But during the conversation she explained how it was “definitely” haunted.

Helen began the conversation by explaining: “We stayed in the most incredible castle. We were so lucky.

“And, of course, we don’t always get to hang out as a cast!

“It was like this Downton Abbey-style dining room where we would eat these fabulous dinners there.”

“But it was haunted,” she added, sombrely. “It was definitely haunted.”

Simon and Tim instantly began mocking the actor for this, as they said in unison: “Definitely haunted…”

Undeterred, Helen continued: “No, it was! By the old lady of the castle!”

Tim began joking that, perhaps, Helen was drunk during filming, and saw the supposed ghost that way, as he added: “Was the wine nice?”

To which Helen jovially responded: “All ten bottles were fabulous, thank you!”

Continuing the tale of the haunted castle, she said: “They [the staff] always leave a spare chair at the dining table for the lady of the castle.

“And I did think I saw her after a few glasses of wine.”

Unconvinced, Tim continued: “Helen George you saw a ghost!

“Don’t you think they might be doing that so it sets it up? Putting a chair out. What was she doing?”

Unable to stop herself from giggling at the question, Helen replied: “Well I was a bit drunk so I don’t know… she was just sat there.”

“What was she wearing?” Tim asked.
