Whether the couple will ever reunite, or whether this is the beginning of the end for their marriage, remains to be seen, but stars Olly Rix and Helen George have spoken about what it was like to film the emotional scenes.<\/p>\n
Speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, Rix said: \u201cThe walls felt like they were closing in. It was exhausting and it was tough to get through. And it was a different experience filming the final episodes.<\/p>\n \u201c[The directors] were so conscientious about telling the story with respect and honouring what we\u2019d done for four years, because it meant a lot to us to say, \u2018Okay, if we\u2019re going out, we\u2019re going out swinging, we\u2019re going to leave everything on the table.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBut it meant that everybody, crew included, were just wiped out by the end of every day.\u201d<\/p>\n George added: \u201cWhat\u2019s interesting is you could at first glance say Trixie is all about the dresses and the fun and the frivolity and the money, but actually, what\u2019s interesting in playing this is unearthing the truth behind their relationship, and how I think Matthew thinks that potentially that is\u2026 he has this sort of notion that maybe that\u2019s what she\u2019s in love with and not him.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think it\u2019s wonderful that she actually sets about proving that to be a myth, and she has these moments when she\u2019s thinking, \u2018The first gift you ever gave me was a bloody cheese plant, and I loved you for that.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think there\u2019s a misconception to her, which has always been the case, and what\u2019s so wonderful to discover is this. It\u2019s really interesting to discover her true love for Matthew.\u201d<\/p> Rix was quick to add that he didn\u2019t see a \u201cvillain\u201d in the situation, and that the biggest source of the couple\u2019s problems is their lack of communication.<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cBut he can\u2019t hear it. That\u2019s the really clever thing about the final arc. I think they\u2019re both sympathetic characters. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a villain here. But they just diverge in all the worst ways.<\/p>\n \u201cAs an outsider, if you were watching somebody\u2019s marriage during this, you\u2019d be tearing your hair out and saying, \u2018Oh, God, please go to therapy, please talk it through, you can save this.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cAnd every attempt they make, every well-meaning, sincere attempt they make, somehow makes it worse.\u201d<\/p>\n George added: \u201cAnd because of the time period, he feels the pressure and the need to take the responsibility for fiscal responsibility on without including her, and she\u2019s such a collective, community-driven person that she wants to be involved.<\/p>\n \u201cShe wants to be involved in the decisions and has a very modern outlook on this idea of a relationship. But because of his upbringing, he\u2019s very much into the notion of the man solves the problem. I will support this, and that\u2019s hard.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Trixie](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/call-the-midwife-bbc-338a89f.png?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Call")
