Call the Midwife fans weren’t happy with what happened to fan favourite character, Fred, last weekend.
Plenty of viewers took to Twitter to issue the BBC with a warning last Sunday (January 21).
What happened to Fred on Call the Midwife?
Last Sunday’s episode of Call The Midwife had viewers convinced that fan favourite character Fred would die.
The lollipop man’s health took a drastic turn as he developed tetanus from a nasty cut.
His deteriorating health affected all those he is close to – Violet, Reggie, Trixie – who realised he may not make it.
Fred was placed on a ventilator in intensive care, but his health was still in a precarious position.
However, thankfully, Fred began to make a recovery, meaning he won’t be going anywhere anytime soon hopefully!
Fans fume at BBC over Fred storyline
Despite his miraculous recovery, viewers were not happy about being scared over the possibility of Fred not surviving.
“I feel like I need an official apology from the BBC for the emotional distress they’ve just put me through with #CallTheMidwife – I’d take a bullet for Fred Buckle,” one fan fumed.
“Same. I am not ok. Should have at least signposted us to help. The emotional distress was next level,” another replied.
“Dear scriptwriters @BBC. For future reference, it will never be acceptable to kill off Fred. Sincerely, Everyone who watches,” a third wrote.
“If anything bad happens to Fred, we riot,” another warned. “Just caught up on #CallTheMidwife – I am not emotionally stable enough to deal with the risk of losing Fred. So happy he is ok!” a fifth said.
