【RadioTimes】没有Jessica的CTM将怎样发展

Cardigans on, bicycle bells at the ready, Call the Midwife is coming back to our telly screens – and it’s set to look a little different.
她们穿上羊毛衫，骑上自行车，《呼叫助产士》将要回归荧屏，虽然它看上去和以往有些不同。
Our narrator, our main protagonist, the midwife from who all these tales have sprung is no more. Jenny Lee – the poster girl for Call the Midwife, the leader of the bicycle pack – has hung up her red cardigan and thrown her midwifery bag, forceps and all, to the wayside.
我们的旁白，也是主角，这个讲述一切故事的助产士，领着一群人骑着自行车的海报女郎Jenny Lee，挂上她的红色羊毛衫，把她的助产士医疗包，镊子和一切东西丢到了一边。
There was shock and dismay from fans when Jenny (played by Jessica Raine) left at the end of series three, even calls for the show to cease, but Call the Midwife is going to be just fine without her. I promise.
当Jenny在第三季结尾离开的时候让人震惊而沮丧，这甚至让这部剧停滞，但我保证《呼叫助产士》没有她依旧会很好。

Now of course I don’t mean that Jenny Lee wasn’t important. She was the midwife who first introduced us to poverty-stricken Poplar and its heart Nonnatus house. We entered the East End just like she did, eager-eyed and naive. We learned to love bolshy Sister Evanglina and whimsical Sister Monica Joan. We learned terms like postpartum and how not to wince every time a baby’s hed came out. We started fancying Babysham and Battenburg cake again.
当然我不是说Jenny不重要，她是第一个向我们介绍贫穷的Poplar和它的中心Nonnatus house的助产士。我们和她一起带着热切而天真的眼光步入伦敦东区。我们开始喜欢上老顽固Evanglina修女，异想天开的Monica修女，我们开始了解生产之后的程序，不再当婴儿的头露出的时候感到畏缩。我们开始喜欢杯杯香和巴腾伯格蛋糕。
But just like the circle of life, the show continues and really it doesn’t suffer from losing Miss Lee. It might help that Jenny doesn’t leave altogether, or at least right away. The Christmas episode is flanked by some very special scenes, featuring Vanessa Redgrave as an elderly Jenny Lee reminiscing about her time at Nonnatus and the importance of enduring friendship. As well as he

As well as heart-warming evidence that Jenny stays in touch with her friends from the East End.
但是正如生命是循环的，这部剧仍在继续，它不会因Jenny的离开而悲痛欲绝。不过她没有完全离开，圣诞特辑里有很多特殊的情节，比如Vanessa Redgrave扮演的老年Jenny在回忆她在Nonnatus的时光和那一段日久天长的友谊。让人欣慰的是Jenny仍旧和东区的朋友们保持联系。
Plus there are plenty of strong characters left to confidently lead us over Poplar’s cobbles. Lovely Trixie takes on more of a role, as does wonderful, plummy-voiced, red-head Patsy. Cynthia has a serious storyline this Christmas while Shelagh and Chummy are still on hand to tell tales of their own.
再说了这里还有很多角色带领我们走过东区的鹅卵石路。可爱的Trixie承担了更多的戏份，还有声音圆润的红发女郎Patsy。Cynthia在这个圣诞特辑里有一个重要的故事。Shelagh和Chummy还会讲述他们的故事。

And that’s not forgetting the impending arrival of newbie Nurse Barbara Gilbert. Barb, as I’m already calling her, is played by Fresh Meat’s Charlotte Ritchie, and although she’s not much like Jenny in character, she’s poised to fill some of that whole, as a new and naive face among the experienced midwives.
还有不要忘记即将登场的菜鸟助产士Barbara Gilbert，我管她叫Barb，这个角色由《新生六居客》中的Charlotte Ritchie饰演，尽管她并不像Jenny Lee，但是她将会作为一个新面孔出现在那些经验丰富的助产士面前，填补Jenny的空白。
Midwife returns this Christmas, and in the new year, with a set of strong and thought-provoking episodes. By January, you’d be forgiven for forgetting Jenny Lee ever left.
助产士们会在圣诞节回归，在新的一年会呈现引人深思的新一季。等到了一月份你就会忘却Jenny Lee的离开。
