Call the Midwife favourite Ella Bruccoleri is back on our screens – but fans might need a moment to recognise her. Four years after saying goodbye to Poplar, the actress returns to BBC One in period drama The Other Bennet Sister, this time taking on the overlooked Mary Bennet.
Ella, now 30, first shot to fame on the Beeb as gentle Sister Frances, a role she played between 2018 and 2022. Viewers quickly took the timid young nun to their hearts, so her departure after four years left many disappointed.
Now she’s stepping into another quietly compelling role. In The Other Bennet Sister, Ella plays Mary Bennet – the often ignored sibling from the famous Pride and Prejudice family. Much like Sister Frances, Mary begins as shy, awkward and underestimated, making her another character audiences may find themselves rooting for.
