Last night\u2019s episode of Call the Midwife<\/a> was a rollercoaster of emotions, to say the least.\u00a0Not only did Nonnatus House celebrate its 100th anniversary, but a heartbreaking homelessness storyline left viewers in tears<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite meths drinker Bernard\u2019s harrowing situation and even more disturbing end, there was a glimmer of joy elsewhere, when Nurse Trixie and widower Matthew (Olly Rix in the Call the Midwife cast<\/a>) shared a kiss after growing closer since season 10.<\/p>\n But, despite the rather idyllic setting of the scene \u2013 complete with rain and flowers \u2013 the reality of shooting sounds far from sweet. Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, Helen George opened up about filming the kiss with COVID-19 protocols in place, deeming it \u201cthe most unsexy thing you could ever do\u201d.<\/p>\n She explained: \u201cWe became masters at kissing through Perspex. It\u2019s probably the most unsexy thing you could ever do. A man comes along with a little spray and a window wipe and wipes away your spit after every take. Horrific.\u201d<\/p>\n Not exactly romantic, then.<\/p> George added: \u201cThere were a few [takes]. It takes a while to get there. It was so mechanical, we\u2019d turn our head to the left or bring your cheek in a bit or your head. Awful. Awful. So embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the challenges of filming it, the kiss scene certainly bodes well for Trixie and Matthew, who lost his wife to leukaemia in season 10 shortly after she gave birth to their son.<\/p>\n The pair had been careful about taking things further than a friendship while he grieved, but it seems like they\u2019re ready to take the next step.<\/p>\n Perspex and all.<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Abby Robinson.<\/em><\/p>\n Call the Midwife continues on Sunday 23rd January at 8pm on BBC One. Seasons 1-10 are available on BBC iPlayer. <\/strong>Looking for something else to watch?
