"After years of battling change, she decides to embrace it, work with it, and see what love can do. This change of energy reverberates throughout series 15."

Teasing the spin-off series, creator and writer Heidi Thomas said: "The Blitz years in the East End were extraordinary - filled with loss, togetherness, courage and joy. The bombs fell, the babies kept on coming, and the Sisters kept on going. There will be so much in the prequel for our wonderful, loyal fans, including the appearance of some familiar (if much younger!) faces."
As for the film, Heidi remained tight-lipped about the "top-secret location".

"The rise in hospital births, and changes in the NHS, have clipped their wings, and this is their chance to take flight and work out what really matters. Whilst the location of the film remains top-secret, I can say it is going to look absolutely fantastic on the big screen!"
