action in an effort to save his marriage before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLucille and I agreed it was the right use of our savings for me to get a ticket to Jamaica,\u201d he tells Violet.<\/p>\n<p>But will it be enough?<\/p>\n<p>Lucille might decide to stay in Jamaica for six months as planned, which could prompt Cyril to temporarily move back to the Caribbean, with the pair eventually returning to London together. Perhaps Cyril\u2019s visit will encourage Lucille to cut her stay short and fly back to the UK with him in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s also a possibility that the couple will decide to stay permanently, which would be the end of their time on Call the Midwife. A world in which Cyril exists without Lucille feels unlikely, so his future on the show is currently as uncertain as the midwife\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Another scenario could see Lucille remain in Jamaica for half a year while Cyril heads back to the UK alone, but that could spell the end of their relationship.
