Trixie Franklin
Nurse Trixie Franklin is a bright, glamorous girl in her late 20's, all fully-fashioned nylons and lush red lipstick. She loves jazz and dancing, and smokes Sobranie cigarettes. She has an outgoing disposition and is a bit of a flirt, but Trixie is not always as confident or as brash as she appears, and an unlikely romance with a young vicar brings out her gentler side.

Trixie has recently been promoted to 'Acting Sister' at the Tuesday Ante-natal and Baby clinic. Her professional success is mirrored by her blossoming love life and she is delighted when Poplar’s dashing young vicar Tom Hereward asks her to be his fiancé.
Helen George who plays Trixie Franklin says about her character: “She’s the fun loving, party going midwife who’s always up for a drink and a fag and to go out with the boys and have a good dance.
"She relishes trying to set up her fellow midwives with other guys and push them into relationships and get them married off but with a twinkle in her eye. Fundamentally though she’s a midwife and that’s what she’s there to do.”
