Victoria Yeates from Call the Midwife gave some insight on the deep storylines that are taking place on the series.

Tom Experiences A 'Myriad Of Emotions' On 'Call The Midwife'

The actress who plays Sister Winifred on the show mentioned how emotional the episodes are and how people are getting a good grasp of what's going on due to the time period when education and history were a big deal.

"Because it's set in 1960, you get a good distance from what's going on, even though you get emotional and you're in the story," Yeates told Radio Times posted on Sunday. "Because of that period drama distance it becomes not didactic in its approach. It's showing a situation in the 60s that is still relevant and it's something that's going to maybe change [viewers opinions] as well."

Trixie Will Feel 'Left Behind' On 'Call The Midwife'

One episode of the British drama revolves around how homosexuality was treated in the past; this is something that made Yeates proud to be part of a series that takes on controversial storylines.

"I felt really proud watching last week ['s homosexual storyline] thinking, 'I'm in a show that does that,'" the actress said. "I think this series is going more along that vein. It's a good thing."

Yeates continued with how grateful she is to be on a show where women are the main characters.

"It makes you feel really thankful," she said. "It makes you want to vote. The whole show is mainly women and it's hardly ever that you are just surrounded by women on a TV show."

Call the Midwife is expected to air in the United States this spring on PBS.
