Call The Midwife fans took to Twitter sharing their concerns about how vulnerable Miss Higgins appeared, with Susan Seddon saying: “Sad to see Miss Higgins is not being herself in this episode.”
Another viewer added: “Poor Miss Higgins! I can totally sympathise, our house was broken into while we were asleep upstairs several years ago and any unusual noise would set me off for months.”
Denise remarked: “Poor Miss Higgins. She’s usually so in control, it’s horrible to see her so upset. #CallTheMidwife”
Chloe Stothers said: “Aww I’m so gutted for Miss Higgins being burgled really knocks you for six. I hope Nurse Crane looks after her, I love their friendship.”
Call The Midwife continues on Sundays at 8pm on BBC One and episodes can be watched on BBC iPlayer.
