I thought she disappeared at the end of the season, between the main series and the Christmas special? I might be wrong though.

I vaguely recall hearing that she'd gone to train to be a nurse, but the actual line it was said in was cut.

[(Anonymous)]

Which sucks because the character she is based on the book has such a nice ending.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it is mentioned in the Christmas special that she'd gotten married to the reverend and left because of his mission work.

[(Anonymous)]

She is in the second book. Honestly, I wish they had shown the end of her story line it was so sweet. Sister Julienne has Jenny take Jane out to get her hair done and new clothes. She basically sets Jane up with the priest.

Jane goes with the priest to visit his father and makes a good impression on him. And then they get married and do his mission work. They mention that Jane like a different person after she got just a bit of confidence.

YES. I hate that they do this. A couple characters they've disappeared have had one or two line kind of sops tossed out to us, so we know they're not just....DEAD, but yeah.

Jane was lovely!

... because people do that in real life too? Sometimes someone needs to move back home suddenly to take care of an ailing parent or they/their partner gets a job that requires them to move somewhere else or they decide that actually they were happier when they were living somewhere else, etc.

I guess I'm just not seeing why this is weird. It happens all the time IRL.

[(Anonymous)]

... I've never had someone I've lived and/or worked with for months just disappear. Even if it is just a, "I am quitting in two weeks."

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but in a TV show that is planned and written ahead of time, viewers don't expect a character to vanish without explanation and never show up again.

People IRL urinate and crap every single day, multiple times a day, but you don't expect to see every single character on a TV show to be shown doing that in real time. I don't get this "... but why is it weird because IRL people do it all the tiiiiime" confusion you're experiencing. You surely understand that people have different expectations of media, right?

Okay maybe I'm weird because I actually DO expect that sort of thing to happen when you consider that actors frequently quit shows (sometimes mid-season) to go work on other projects.

[(Anonymous)]

Look, nobody's saying that doesn't happen. But. You know. Because it's a TV show with a script, viewers usually expect that to be worked into the show somehow, as a way of explaining why a character disappeared. Because that can be done. Because it's a TV show with a script.

[(Anonymous)]

True, but IRL isn't a story - Call the Midwife is, and sometimes its nice when a story makes more sense than 'just because'.

[(Anonymous)]

Omg yes THANK YOU - I was so upset when Jane's story just stopped so suddenly (also I would have liked to have seen more of her and the vicar, I thought that their relationship was sweet the little we saw of it).

I know the real real is things happen in real life to the actors, but the way Call the Midwife explains it is always so sudden :'{
