“She\u2019s not just two-dimensional, there is a whole person there with a past.” <\/p>

Ever since she first arrived in the 2018 Call the Midwife<\/a> Christmas special, we\u2019ve only gotten hints towards the past life of Miss Higgins, as played by Georgie Glen.<\/p>\n

However, it looks like that\u2019s about to change, as Glen has teased a \u201cchallenging\u201d new storyline which will unveil more of the character\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, Glen said: \u201cWhat\u2019s lovely about the character is she\u2019s not just two-dimensional, there is a whole person there with a past \u2013 and I often liken her to my mother, actually, who lived in that sort of age at that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the funny thing is, I remember her coming out with something about her past when I was in my 20s. My father had had a stroke and was in hospital, and it was that first night when you\u2019re all slightly electrified and you\u2019re waiting to hear what\u2019s happening, and you speak in a very unguarded way.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she talked about her past and a bit of me thought, \u2018I don\u2019t want to hear this, I don\u2019t want to know,\u2019 which is selfish, and I wish I\u2019d engaged a bit more with it because she wanted to tell me something, and I was dealing with dad. But that came back to me because we are capable of burying things so deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n
